       Sir Terry Pratchett.It has been 11 years since death inexplicably refused to give you back.You still remain the person who has had the biggest influence on me.Nanny Ogg teaches me to enjoy life.Granny Weatherwax teaches me to trust in myself, and not to treat people as thingsMagrat teaches me that it is ok not to know exactly what I am doing all the time, but to do things I think are important, even if those older and allegedly wiser don't really agree.Vimes teaches me about determination, family and justice.There are so many more lessons I learnt from the world you created, and I would not be me without the Discworld.#GNUTerryPratchett #Discworld #Pratchett

       I firmly believe that all 14 year olds should surreptitiously be given Pratchett by someone that isn't a parent. Especially if they live in a household where they have to hide it because it contains witches. They are books that teach you how to think, even in the face of extreme authority. This is my story. I would be a much worse person without having Pratchett books in my life.#GNUTerryPratchett #Pratchett #TerryPratchett #Pterry

       We are fast approaching the anniversary of my brother and nephew's deaths. So I am going to take this moment to ask you all if you have planned your escape route from your house in case of fire. Do the kids know the plan?Is the battery working in your smoke alarm? Is there even a battery in your smoke alarm, or did the beeping annoy you?What will you do if your stairs are alight?If the grandkids are staying over, do they know the plan? Which adult is getting which child?Where do you keep your house keys at night? Could you find them if there was smoke and fire? Do you shut the kitchen door when you go to bed? That was what the fire brigade said would have made most difference for my family. Do you turn electrical appliances off at the wall, especially the ones you bought from somewhere online?Have you walked through your escape plan? You need muscle memory to kick in when the panic of an emergency situation hits. Please, if you could think about these things and make changes if you need to it would mean that something good has come from our tragedy. I never want anyone else to have to go through this. #Fire #FireSafety #Emergency
