Yes, all is revealed at https://www.facebook.com/TsarinaSector


He opened another box. “Self-heating ration cartons.”
Haldar leaned over his shoulder to look. “Military surplus? I always liked the ones which included chicken; even if the ‘chicken’ was really gastropod.”
George shook his head. “Local manufacture; they use a carton rather than a can. You can use the cartons as kindling to light your fire.” He looked at the labels. “No chicken, just a hundred different ways to cook elderly yak. You might find them a bit heavy on the sauce, and a bit light on the meat, but between ourselves, once you’ve eaten the meat for as long as I have, you’ll prefer it that way round.”
Haldar took a carton and read the nutrition information: “May contain trace quantities of hallucinogenic lichen?”
“There was an unfortunate incident some years ago. Elderly yaks of the sort which tend to grace ration cartons will survive the winter by eating the lichen off a rock-face. Some of the lichens have strange properties, but yaks have a high level of tolerance.”

John Wyndham's done that!
Trouble With Lichen
I want to know if Patti or GL has been experimenting with strange cosmetics??

Actually, I recall his story about a flying sheep. Is this the answer?

They'll assume I'm a romantic novelist, I'll have to have an entire wardrobe makeover

The Cartographer's Apprentice: Leave Them Wanting More where for a mere 79p you get a truly deathless love story. (Admittedly it's not the one I tell, but it's in there.)
There's also



Whilst I've never read it, I've been assured that no one gets killed in Fifty shades of grey, whilst in my two there's a reasonable body count.

doesn't this mean she has to wear her underwear on top of her clothes or something?
Must make wearing a skirt tricky

the blow dry may involve a flame thrower

In 1986 in Sussex, where I come from. There was a hurricane. Trees blew down left right and centre and the wind howled at an ear splitting volume. Nobody got any sleep that night, including my great aunt, a farmer's widow, living in the farmhouse (she'd rented the land to another local farmer).
A few days later, when the power was on but the roads were still a bit dicey she met a fellow farmer's widow who told her this fantastic story.
The lady lives in an old farm house. She woke up to the sound of the wind screaming and unknown objects blowing through the farmyard and bouncing off one another at high speed. The windows were actually bending against the force of the wind. It was an old Sussex - well actually I think she was over the border in Surrey - farm house all red tiles, black beams and leaded panes, so she went downstairs to the centre, the hall, lit the fire, got out a sleeping bag lit the appropriately named 'hurricane lamp' and snuggled down on the sofa to ride it out.
In the middle of the night there was a massive crash and the sound of breaking glass. It was the spare room window. She went up and tried to open the door but she couldn't, it opened into the room and the wind blowing in was holding it shut.
She went back downstairs and waited. Early in the morning, finally, the storm passed. At first light, she got out of her sleeping bag. There was no power so she went into the kitchen and got the teabags out, put a saucepan of hot water on the hob to boil and went upstairs. When she opened the spare room door, she found a very large hole in the window a lot of droppings and a somewhat moithered but perfectly healthy sheep.
So there you are.
Cheers
MTM

Why would a moderator, a keyboard monkey, have hooves? And yes, judging by the colour of her face I should think she dries her hair under an electric grill? Not Patti then, surely?
