I saw the date and knew it was important but couldn't remember why (a not uncommon occurence) My lilac tree died so didn't have that to remind me Sad My favourite book ever.

MerlinsButler · 25/05/2021 10:46

Ahh I always love the messages on here on this date. Love that book so much.

No, but I do know where my towel is.

Its my birthday today - who knew I was born a revolutionary

I normally try to start a thread and make an appropriate donation to Alzheimers research as a way of commemorating an author who created worlds that give so much joy

But is it a lilac towel?

That's what I'm wearing!

I have no lilac, but I do have a random lavender plant sitting on my table in front of me. It's purple and will have to do.

Night Watch is probably my favourite Discworld book.

My lilac tree is proudly wearing the lilac today. I cannot confirm but I suspect it was there.

I made my own lilac, because my own lilac tree is usually over by now (though this year it still has a few blooms).
