It's come to my attention that it's now spring, and there's magpies looking to nest in the tree out the front. Right outside the door. This is going to be... interesting.

Continuing this theme of change in my little corner of the world, a shrubbery from near a bus stop near home has somehow vanished. It looks like the Kinghts Who Say Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky p'kang-zoop-boing! Goodem-zoo-owli-zhiv got their second shrubbery after all.

And I got a copy of Across the Wall today, because I just randomly saw it in a bookshop and pounced. And got a slightly unnerved stare from their employee, who doesn't seem to be fond of tall people who dive into the sci-fi section and come out all fangirl-bouncy seconds later. Yay for Mr Nix.

Nixy goodness indeed! Just need to finish my Pterry first, and then it'll be Nix, Nix and more Nix. Even the preface is good!

I reread Maskerade today speaking of Pterry, just because there's an exchange between the witches and the ticket-seller that was nagging at my mind, about swapping tickets, which given my job was appropriate. I need to note the quote down and possibly do something amusing and icon-shaped with it.

I'm only up to Pyramids so far, so your icon will probably be opaque for a while but well worth the wait.

You'll probably be up to Maskerade by the time I get round to actually making the icon.

Pyramids was one of the first Pterry books I read, along with Small Gods, which may go a long way towards explaining why I have strange religious views and also a deep fondness for turtles. I read them out of order because my parents had a few random hardcovers; when I hit high school I started the series from the beginning and then began building our own collection up, with the end result that when I move out, there's going to be a custody battle over the bookshelf.

The visiting rights could be a bit of a pain.
