A heap of discarded garments by the bed suggested that Verence had mastered the art of hanging up clothes as practised by half the population of the world, and that he had equally had difficulty with the complex topological manoeuvres necessary to turn the socks the right way out.

"All right," said Masklin. "But you're not to fly down low again and try to read the signposts. Every time you do that, humans rush into the streets and we get lots of shouting on the radio."
"That's right." said the Thing. "People are bound to get excited when they see a ten-million-ton starship trying to fly down the street."

Hoy celebramos una triste pero a la vez bonita efeméride. Porque es el día en que recordamos su nombre... Y su obra #TerryPratchett.

"La frase 'Alguien debería hacer algo' no era, por sí sola, útil. La gente que la usaba nunca añadía la coletilla 'y ese alguien soy yo'".

Otro día probaré a hacer el #gumbo solo de pescado, que, a juzgar por las descripciones de «Brujas de viaje», era como le molaba a Pratchett. Ya os contaré qué tal sale. #GNUTerryPratchett #SpeakHisName
