Good evening Squirrel Fans.

I tripped over tonight’s quote as I was bumbling though L-Space & for some strange reason it brought to mind all the writers I know in the Fediverse! 😆

“How hard can writing be? After all, most of the words are going to be 'and,' 'the,' and 'I,' and 'it,' and so on, and there's a huge number to choose from, so a lot of the work has been done for you.”
― Terry Pratchett, Snuff

There are ghouls to turn into ghosts in FO76, toodles for now!

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

In the face of current events I feel that tonight’s quote should be our common mantra:

“Them as can do has to do for them as can't. And someone has to speak up for them as has no voices.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

Right off to see cultists in FO76 need a quick lesson…

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

There are many deep & philosophical questions of our age, to quote the HHGTTG:
“Why are people born? Why do they die? Why do they want to spend so much of the intervening time wearing digital watches?”
But tonight’s quote seeks even deeper meaning:

“Then there was the puzzle of why the sun came out during the day, instead of at night when the light would come in useful.”
― Terry Pratchett, Mort

With that I wish you good night, I’m off to chase baddies thru a virtual world that seems to come closer to reality every day!

#MorningAll & #TZAG G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!

Saturday’s weather is about as enthusiastic as the rest of me, great & fairly cold at this point.

The 1st pic shows the message I got from the IOS shortcut that I use for the BT speakers in the kitchen & sums up my plans for the day …

Cashew later Peeps, have a fabulously nutty day #Today ! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

Tonight’s quote gives one a keen insight into the personality of Lord Havelock Vetinari, supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork:

“It was said that [Vetinari] would tolerate absolutely anything apart from anything that threatened the city*... [Footnote] And mime artists. It was a strange aversion, but there you are. Anyone in baggy trousers and a white face who tried to ply their art anywhere within Ankh's crumbling walls would very quickly find themselves in a a scorpion pit, on one wall of which was painted the advice: Learn The Words.”
― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!

Right off to hunt some oversized ‘roaches in FO76!

This quote reminded me of an incident earlier today - some folk really need to get into some serious footwear pilfering IMHO!

“She had heard it said that, before you could understand anybody, you needed to walk a mile in their shoes, which did not make a whole lot of sense, because probably AFTER you had walked a mile in their shoes, you would understand that they were chasing you and accusing you of the theft of a pair of shoes--although, of course, you could probably outrun them, owing to their lack of footwear.”
― Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight

Right, bet you can’t guess where I’m off to…

Thursday has arrived as Thursdays do, racing past Wednesday towards Friday.

It’s a bit dull & overcast here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire but there is a promise of better weather later & a high of 15ºC.

I’ll hopefully get out later to start cleaning up after the great gravel cleaning exercise, & then maybe spend a little more time on the NMS ‘Relics’ expedition.

Mrs S is off to take her mum to the memory clinic - so that will make 3 of our family with some form of dementia … one would feel cursed if one believed in such things. On the plus side it does mean that I will have a quiet day.

Have a cracking day #Today & remember #RuleNo1: Don’t let ‘em Cash-ew ! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

I saw that the bluetits were back in our bird box today so this quote seemed to fit the bill:

“Birds nested among the gutters and eaves of Unseen University, although it was noticeable that however great the pressure on the nesting sites they never, ever, made nests in the invitingly open mouths of the gargoyles that lined the rooftops, much to the gargoyles’ disappointment.”
― Terry Pratchett, Sourcery

Right onwards with season 20 on Fallout 76!

Tuesday is another bright & sunny day here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire. It’s a bit cold at the moment - just over 6ºC, but the temps are due to climb to the low teens later so I will once more be out in the gravel pit - not too far to go now on the cleaning side, I can see the bottom of the bulk bag now.

Have a cracking day #Today & remember Rule No. 3 when desperate find a pecan! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

pTerry had a way of putting things that just seems to make one think - ‘yes, yes exactly that!’ :

“And yet we say this. Here is the cave at the end of the world, peace is made between dwarf and troll, and we will march beyond the hand of Death together. For the enemy is not Troll, nor is it Dwarf, but it is the baleful, the malign, the cowardly, the vessels of hatred, those who do a bad thing and call it good...”
― Terry Pratchett, Thud!

Off to teach a few Scorched the error of their ways.

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

There are a number of similarities in the fields of magic & computing - tonight’s quote could quite easily apply to either with a couple of minor adjustments! 😆

“That’s what’s so stupid about the whole magic thing, you know. You spend twenty years learning the spell that makes nude virgins appear in your bedroom, and then you’re so poisoned by quicksilver fumes and half blind from reading old grimoires that you can’t remember what happens next.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic

Right off to vent my frustration at current events on the baddies in the world of Fallout 76.

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖
