So I went into Dymock’s today, in search of the How To Grow Stuff In Places Where There’s Often A Lot Of Wind book that I saw in (I think) Christchurch, (did they have it? No.) and I see this sign that says “Please purchase book before queueing.” And I think to myself, “Ehn? Don’t you queue in order to buy the books?”

And then I see Terry Pratchett sitting at a table, signing books.

Did it occur to me to buy something (say, Terry Pratchett’s new book) for any of my friends whom I know are Terry Pratchett fans? Yes. Did I forget my wallet at home today, making this impossible? Also, sadly, yes.

Anyway, all you Pratchett fans, I thought of you fondly today, for all the good that does you.
