Britain in a Day: Terry Pratchett describes his typical Saturday

Wake up. This is essential. It’s a Saturday, traditionally a day of rest for many people, but for me there are only two types of day: the days when my PA, Rob Wilkins, is in; and those when he isn’t.

George Harrison’s handwritten lyrics for “Something”.

Along with “Here, There and Everywhere”, this is also my favorite Beatles song.

A slow sense of shame is creeping up on me.

Now, where did I put my journal again?

“Books can be passed around. They can be shared. A lot of people like seeing them in their houses. They are memories. People who don’t understand books don’t understand this. They learn from TV shows about organizing that you should get rid of the books that you aren’t reading, but everyone who loves books believes the opposite. People who love books keep them around, like photos, to remind them of a great experience and so they can revisit and say, “Wow, this is a really great book.””

“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.” That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”

This girl is amazing! Makes me want to learn the guitar.

Two hundred degrees…That’s why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit…

Edited to add: The video of her playing Adele’s Rolling in the Deep is pretty badass too.
