I'm ok! I have PCOS so it happens about once a year to me, it wasn't that bad this time, or I'm just able to manage it better now. I'm not quite sure, I was in a massive panic the first time it happened as I thought it was possibly appendicitis and probably worked my self up beyond what it would otherwise have been. Miraculously managed a bit of sleep tonight so it's a big improvement from the last time. Thanks for all the concern and flowers, it really wasn't necessary.
Lazy, I'm 
that it's the staff and parents of the children who are making the comments (and ultimately cultivating that in the children). It's especially hard on boys I feel, and it doesn't seem to stop when they grow up much either.
Midlife, I've thought of a few more boobed women. The formidable Catherine Deneuve is older (always much older than I think) and she's definitely dressing in defiance of her younger days but she's essentially a short waisted apple with boobs. It's more traditional French chic mixed with the odd leopard print, but for those with a similar figure it is good silhouette inspiration.
Josephine Le Baume (another fab redhead, but I'd mentioned her previously) is like Kate Moss' wacky French cousin, but that may be since she's photographed performing or at festivals mostly. Her weight fluctuates, she was quite thin as a model (but still with a chest) and these days is a bit fuller. She's very much an inverted triangle (like most models are, male designers don't like hips) but always with a proportionally large chest. Still very much French though.
Speaking of knitwear you want, this is one of my biggest bugbears of the fashion industry, their complete lack of investing in technical innovation at the consumer level, it's only ever exploited for their economic gains. It shouldn't be that hard to set up a little knitting printing setup (it's all done by machinery already) so you can choose colours, materials, shape, etc. With fit becoming so standardised (and unflattering to a growing group) it annoys me beyond belief that the 'haute couture' method of creating custom-fitted clothes isn't being democratised.
