Well, the clear winner of this round is Dick Weltz, whose edible food wrappers attracted 7 of your votes. Congratulations Dick.

The true definition for GELASIN was No.1 "A dimple in the cheek, produced by smiling" (from OED), which was chosen by Judy and Russ.



Over to you Dick.

Best wishes all

Millie

Once again I missed the deadlines for both defining and voting.

I blame too many interruptions and distractions, brought on by (inter
alia) my daughter's wedding last weekend, and my imminent departure
for France and other parts for the next three months. Judith and I
will be be based in Paris during May and June where she will have a
residency at the Cite Internationale des Arts while I will pursue my
own um, interests. There will be other travel too, beginning with a
week of walking at the Mediterranean end of the Pyrenees.

I will have internet access when in Paris so I will try to improve on
my poor attendance here in Dixonary - but don't count on it.

Jim
