@GShyamChojnacki ej no spox, też tak to przeczytałam i zrozumiałam. dla mnie nieistotne, czy sp_dala się za granicę, czy w inną część kraju, byle odsunąć się od zagrożenia.
mam do tego podejście jak chyba Rincewind z #Pratchett : w ucieczce nie liczy się dokąd, ale skąd i uciekanie 🙃
1. Visit a foreign capital.
2. Wear a #Discworld #UnseenUniversity #AnkhMorpork tee-shirt.
3. Get hailed by a twentysomething complete stranger with a resounding "Hey, coolest tee-shirt!"
4. Profit from the happy thought of yet someone else being a #Pratchett fan.
Les ch'tits hommes libres de Terry Pratchett
La jolie découverte d'une fillette un peu sorcière, qui fait du fromage, tape des monstres en se servant de son petit frère comme appât, et devient cheffe d'un nid de lutins bleus, baggareurs et buveurs à la tchaete libre.
On aurait bien besoin d'une sorcière aujourd'hui pour protéger notre monde des rêves horribles de certains !
《 Ni rwa ! Ni rinne ! Ni djeus ! Ni maets ! Fini de s'faire avwar ! 》
Have a wonderful day with this week's Terry Pratchett quote:
" It’s still magic even if you know how it’s done."
- A hat full of sky
"Fate always wins. Most of the gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until it's too late that he's been using two queens all along."
- Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times
It's been too long. I just adore Pratchett's writing style.

Rezension von "Schöne Scheine" (3,5 Sterne): Was macht Geld wertvoll?
#LunchtimeReading today takes us back to the #GreatPratchettReRead and the Discworld version of the beautiful game, football, in Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett.
Wizards playing football? For fun? Surely not!
An underused word for your consideration: "scug" - a Victorian schoolboy insult denoting a pushy, slovenly, morally undeveloped slacker with bad manners and far too high an opinion of himself.
(All that in one syllable! If that's not 19th century efficiency I don't know what is.)
If it's good enough to be employed by those most worthy knights P. G. Wodehouse and Terry Pratchett, I deem it good enough for us. I use it myself. Care to join me?

I didn't need the Book as I already have two copies, but I bought Night Watch by Sir Terry Pratchett as it's now a Penguin Classic... A bloody Penguin Classic... Best book he wrote imo.... Did I mention it's a Penguin Classic
GNU Terry Pratchett. 10 years gone but never forgotten. Looking around this corner of the internet I see people starting their Discworld journeys for the first time. I see long time readers finding each other. I see friends who started as fellow fans. He changed so many lives. Thank you Terry. I'll raise a toast today on your birthday. A man is not dead while his name is still spoken, or until the ripples he left in the world fade.

A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

This week's Terry Pratchett quote:
“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
- Jingo
📚 If a second hand bookshop has sci-fi and fantasy recommendations like this, as well as a Terry Pratchett timeline and categorisation, I’m going to be an instant fan. Just spent a lot of time browsing the very reasonably priced books in Arty Bees Books, Wellington, NZ.
Strange how my mind works
Woke up in the middle of the night pondering who would make a good actress to play Granny Weatherwax in a Terry #Pratchett's #discworld film about his cast of Witches
Answer : Tilda Swinton
Honestly should I become a figure of authority or in a position of power, I will absolutely make "Please, do not allow me to detain you." to be my perfectly normal conversation ender.
I'm not sure if I read the last book in the series, so I'll do what any sane person would: start from the beginning 🙃#pratchett #thelongearth #scifi
