11/n The delay of my previous train meant that I didn't have time to buy a snack during this layover (obviously I'm not going to sacrifice geocaching time), but that's just as well, because yesterday evening I had a big slice of this cake I baked for dessert.

Danke. I'm finishing up a different Pratchett series currently, after recently making it all the way through #Discworld.
I think often about the things that kept me "serious" as a younger man, and the things that have me enjoying "whimsy" as a slightly older person.
No point here. Just rambling.
Pratchett had a way of seeing the world. -
Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate!

Happy #Hogswatch, #Christmas, or Winterval-of-choice to all fedizens who celebrate.
Yes, even you.

HAPPY HOGSWATCH TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT

I finally get to settle in and watch Hogfather.
Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate

For those wondering why I'm making such a fuss about #Solstice, here's an excerpt from Terry Pratchett's #Hogfather. Susan, a mortal who is Death's granddaughter, has just saved the Hogfather (a Santa/Father Christmas type figure) from a messy death at the hands of those who would prefer a more clockwork universe.
I WILL GIVE YOU A LIFT BACK, said Death, after a while.
"Thank you. Now... tell me..."
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU HADN'T SAVED HIM?
"Yes! The sun would have risen just the same, yes?"
NO.
"Oh, come on. You can't expect me to believe that. It's an astronomical fact."
THE SUN WOULD NOT HAVE RISEN.
...
"Really? Then what would have happened, pray?"
A MERE BALL OF FLAMING GAS WOULD HAVE ILLUMINATED THE WORLD.
They walked in silence for a moment.
"Ah," said Susan dully. "Trickery with words. I would have thought you'd have been more literal-minded than that. "
I AM NOTHING IF NOT LITERAL-MINDED. TRICKERY WITH WORDS IS WHERE *HUMANS* LIVE.
"All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... *fantasies* to make life bearable. "
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little --"
YES. AS PRACTICE YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

Happy #Hogswatch to all who celebrate.

As I keep a candle burning through the longest night, it's time to remember Terry #Pratchett and #Hogfather, and the conversation between Death and his granddaughter:
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU HADN'T...?
...The sun would have risen just the same, yes?
NO.
Oh, come on. You can't expect me to believe that. It's an astronomical fact.
THE SUN WOULD NOT HAVE RISEN.
...It's been a long night, Grandfather! I'm tired and I need a bath! I don't need silliness!
THE SUN WOULD NOT HAVE RISEN.
Really? Then what would have happened, pray?
A MERE BALL OF FLAMING GAS WOULD HAVE ILLUMINATED THE WORLD.

I can recommend ordering #hogswatch presents from The #Discworld Emporium for the #TerryPratchett fans in your lives. I have a collection of the jigsaw puzzles and t-shirts https://www.discworldemporium.com/

Fabulous evening: a bookshop team outing with my chums to see the always excellent Strawmoddie's crew Pratchett play at the Pleasance, now something of a #Hogswatch tradition.
