Thank you for this and the Snow Queen encore! I shall try and be there. I’m so pleased that you’ve found Terry Pratchett. I had dinner with him in the eighties and his questions about witchcraft were really insightful.
Absolutely. It was a hilarious evening. But he was definitely a philosopher pretending to be a fantasy author. I think bicarbonate was meant as a “raising agent” bicarbonate of soda (like baking powder) how to change history or make it grow…
Loved this pod Sarah, thank you so much - there is so much in it 💖 Thoughts on the reference to 'bicarbonate' - my immediate thought was a reference to 'carbonation', bringing fizz into life, which I rather like. However, I realise that would just be 'carbonation', without the 'bi' prefix. 😀 Bicarbonate (of soda, anyway) is used in baking to encourage things to grow and rise - so I reckon this is what Terry Pratchetts reference is to........perhaps??
Soooo happy you have decided to do a daytime performance of the Snow Queen - I will be there!! 👍😀💖
PS I loved the image of storing puddings around your body for later - so true! It may give me the strength to never eat pudding again haha!! 😉 😅🤣 Perhaps you could design your own diet plan - you could make a fortune 🤣 x
ahh thanks Steph, love your thoughts about bicarbonate... the dictionary said this... A carbonate in which but half the hydrogen of the acid is replaced by a positive element or radical, thus making the proportion of the acid to the positive or basic portion twice what it is in the normal carbonates; an acid carbonate; -- sometimes called supercarbonate... I mush prefer your idea!

How exciting! Would love to hear more about your dinner with Terry... I am reading Witches Abroad now and it is driving me nuts...

AHHH! you see, I use bicarbonate to neutralise odour, which made my mind boggle...

Lol well, thank you Oxford English! What do they know anyway about the ways of stories? Not their area of expertise I'd say 😉🎶
Enjoyed that! Looking forward to Friday the 3rd January for The Snow Queen Show in Glastonbury 1.30pm and 3pm at The White Rabbit x
