Oh! I’m halfway through A Hat Full of Sky, and I’m very pleased that the Terry Pratchett definition of a witch is something I can definitely relate and aspire to. Amazing the life lessons he’s built into these books. Wish I’d read them earlier, but maybe now is just the moment to uncork that particular literary vintage.
JZ was in the middle of the Tiffany Aching books. I think Hat Full of Sky was the last one she read.
The Tiffany Aching books are some of my favorite books ever.
They are so good. I would forget between them how good they were and get to rediscover it with each one. I generally love the Discworld but Tiffany Aching is somehow more personal
Ow. I am still in a lot of pain post workout with trainer on Wednesday. Mostly my quads…which is kind of a problem living in a townhouse with lots of stairs!! Going up stairs hurts but going down stairs is even harder. Guess no dancing tonight, I wouldn’t make it!
Happy Birthday, Nora!!! I hope 50 is good to you.
Omg hilarious—so there’s an estate sale going on at my parents old place right now, to get rid of the stuff my siblings didn’t move to Philly with my dad. Lots of furniture lots of tchotchkes and such. Apparently a game boy and 10 games went for $300? Who knew? But among the stuff they had was a lot of figurines and sculptures from the Dominican Republic where my dad had lived. And in among those were a couple things us kids had made. My brother showed me on FaceTime last night. One creepy monkey man thing he’d made (roughly the size of a TP roll, it had eyes stuck on it and kind of a human face but was on all fours like a gorilla?) and a little pirate head I had made in art class once upon a time. We joked that nobody was going to buy those but the estate sale people threw them in because why not. Apparently someone bought my brothers creepy monkey man for $5! We have congratulated him on his burgeoning art career.

Yeah, that’s definitely on the Not Fair or Right list.
meara, that’s awesome.
That's great, meara! The art, nsm the sore quads (although go you with the training!)
Meara, that’s awesome about the sale, and I hope you’re feeling better soon.
I think I have finally kicked the migraine to the curb, and it’s a beautiful Autumn day here. We have a special presentation on bullying at ltc’s karate studio tonight followed by an ice cream social at her school. And then I think our weekend is free.

Tiffany Aching and Granny Weatherwax are two of my touchstone role models. I wish the Tiffany Aching books had been around when I was a preteen.
I still haven't read Pratchett's last book, The Shepherd's Crown. I don't know if I ever will.
