It’s Beginning to Look a .. Bit .. Like Christmas!

I did have some whiskey, tho Guinness was the major libation!

A fun time, as always, at the affable Irish Discworld Convention in Cork.

I’m glad we have 24/7, 364 days a year no parking, @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social , or all these would be causing an obstruction on Crowell Road…

Awesome. If this ever becomes available for amateur dramatisation I’d loved to have a go!!

@bsky.app I can’t access my account from my laptop. Whenever I request the reset code your gateway refuses to accept it????

Interesting.

Crikey! I’ll check the list!!!

I'm delighted that @terrypratchett.bsky.social and I are still helping to protect these wonderful creatures!

I love a maize maze!

Genius!!

@bsky.app getting a bit fed up with having to keep logging back in again!

Were you hoping to come to see 'Terry Pratchett: A Trip on the Stage'..?

Today! 09:30.

Box office opens tomorrow at 09:30.

This curation of Pratchett wit is calling for a particularly random collation of props...

A very enjoyable weekend in Exeter.

Tickets will go on sale at 09:30 on 2 September. Our sales portal's HERE - wegottickets.com/StudioTheatre
A *small* buffer of tickets for each performance will be held back for a 2nd release at 12 noon on Thu. 4 September.
We strongly recommend setting your alarm to book tickets!

I was amazed to be told, tho, that this book is actually a first edition, first printing of the first appearance in paperback published by Puffin in 1961!
(my cousin was delighted when she learned I was writing with Terry) (3/4 -- no, actually, 3/3!!)

Nope. Several years later I did try to read 'The Lord of the Rings' but it wasn't until about 25 years after 'The Hobbit' that I was encouraged to buy, and read 'Mort' ... and then I was off down that other leg of the Trousers of Time. (2/4)

I posted on FB yesterday that I was given this book by a cousin during a family holiday in Cumbria. I was about 10/11. 'Ah', you might think, 'and thus started your journey into fantasy fiction.'

(1/2)

Cover design by a Pauline Baynes. It was a copy given to me when I was around 10 by a cousin. She was delighted, some 25+ years later, when she found I was writing with Terry.

One of the *many* things I experienced alongside Terry at Discworld events, and while writing with him, was that people are people - be they witches, werewolves, goblins or Pratchett fans. :-)

Just a quick reminder that the online box office for 'A Trip on the Stage' will open in two weeks -- at 09:30 on Tuesday 2 September.
A small buffer of tickets for each performance will be held back for a second release date (12:00 on Thu 4 Sept.).

Congratulations Rhianna ❤️

In my experience: Start work 1.5 hours early as a matter of routine: nobody notices.
Finish work 30 mins early for the first time in a month - 'half day is it?'.
