Thinking of Terry Pratchett today, on the 10th anniversary of his death. Both Martin and I have adored his books for a very long time. I'm part way through yet another Discworld reread, this time the Witches books. Next up is Tiffany Aching's first outing. Sad to have lost him, but what a legacy he left us. #GNUTerryPratchett

Photo from Perth today

On the way home from my bone density scan at Perth Royal Infirmary we called into Gannochy Duck Pond in Perth. Martin was particularly hoping to see their mandarin ducks - a very unusual thing to see in Scotland. The mandarin ducks were there but staying largely under cover, though he got some pictures. But there were lots of other birds to photograph. I especially liked this photo of three mallard ducks, with loads of interesting reflections in the water.

Full details on The Bookseller website. They lost me when they stopped offering DRM-free downloads of ebooks. Even after buyers preordered ebooks on exactly those terms. Also this seems a *curious* plan to set up a new publisher, with the original founders.
