It isn't over till the fat lady sings

I have completed my trawl through the text, making all kinds of changes, adding, rewriting, removing, turning lists of figures into graphs, histograms and tables, checking on spellings of foreign names, making sure all the references are in the bibliography and that all the figures are properly numbered in the text, keeping a list of all the colour plates and which text refers, keeping the appendices up to date....and so on.
There are still a few things to tidy up - perhaps another three days' work..
So, if you are waiting for my final huzzah, not quite yet, my beloveds : not until the fat lady sings.
