Who's wearing the lilac tomorrow?

[HavelockVetinari]

It's the Glorious 25th May: Truth! Freedom! Justice! Reasonably priced love! And a hard-boiled egg.

See how they rise up...

Pro I used to do that. Then it got lost. I’m pondering having a look for a new one.

I'm sure there was a lilac once? Maybe just the first year.

A lilac towel! Pratchett and Adams in one 😍

The very last of mine.
It's brown round the edges but it's still lilac.
Well white lilac.
The lilac lilac is all gone.

Awwww May 25th already?!
Discworld WAS my teens (and twenties to be fair)!

We're driving through Wincanton tomorrow and I'm thinking of making a pilgrimage to the Ankh Morpork consulate as a mark of respect and remembrance.

I knew someone who went by Gaspotewod once. She was absolutely barking.

..I don't know if it helps, but Good Omens will be on Prime at the end of the month...David Tennant is in it and the trailer looks brilliant.

I'm worried (obviously) about global warming, the lilac here has been out for over a week.
GNU Pterry.

I'm volunteering at parkrun tomorrow so will wear my volunteer t-shirt, which is lilac. Actually, this has decided me to go back to my favourite username again.

Love the late Sir TP my favourite is Going Postal and love Gaspode. sir T lived near Salisbury and I believe helped create the Chalke Valley History Festival which is a total eccentric delight which I will be visiting in June

A lilac towel - perfect 🥚

I had the pleasure of introducing ds1 (7) to pratchett over Christmas (and his class teacher thoroughly approved). Dragons at crumbling castle for our bedtime reading tomorrow methinks.

Buggerrit Millennium Hand and shrimp!!! #seehowtheyriseup l♥️SamVines!

leckford me too! They've actually made me less ick at the Moist word!

Mnhq did turn all the flowers lilac for a few days in May 2015.

Me. My dwarf lilac is still flowering profusely. Love the ending ‘Don’t you dare!’

@mbosnz that makes me a psychopath! I would have preferred Adorabelle Dearheart but someone else got there first.

I shall be wearing my lilac pin

And probably thinking a little too much about lost friends and past times. Strange how these books can be so funny and so very poignant all at once.

No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away....
That’s why the lilac is important - remembering Sir Pterry

I’ll be proudly brandishing lilac.

I have a gorgeous lilac pin badge that Inhave worn all month.

I first discovered Sir PTerry when I was in my teens and I found The Colour of Magic in the library. I am now in my late forties and still quote him most days. For years I was devoted to the witches (and still am - I want to be Granny Weatherwax when I grow up) and then my brother suggested the Guards books. I bloody adore Sam Vimes.

My people!

Ok, sleeptime audiobook tonight is sorted...
