#i shall wear midnight
The purpose of the coat: Terry Pratchett’s memorial.
After I read my piece, Rob Wilkins presented me with a hat that Terry had left me.
It was an honour to conjure a bit of Midnight in the form of a coat for you to wear at this bittersweet & magical occasion for a treasured friend (who vastly treasured you too ~ for he bequeathed you his felted crown!).

a bunch of Tiffanys. Tiffanies? Anyway my partner and I just finished listening to I shall wear midnight so you all know what that means…. shepherds crown is next. I’ve still not listened to raising steam so I’m going to make sure I listen to that myself first so that when I listen to my final final final discworld book I have my girlfriend there for emotional support . Might seem like overkill but I’ve planned it this way ever since I started rereading the series a few years ago and got her to start listening to some of them together too. I just know I’m going to be super emotional so this is the best way!
I hope this isn’t too much information but our discworld audiobook time has been priceless during 2020. Every Friday we run a bubble bath, pour some prosecco or gin, leave our phones in another room and just soak and listen to the books. It means we have been getting through the Tiffany books at about 40 mins a week so a bit of a snails pace, but it’s honestly the only time of the week I feel completely relaxed, and with not going out and working from home it’s given the week some structure. Highly recommend weekly bath night or at least weekly ‘lock the phone away and listen to something nice for an hour’, we’ll sometimes listen to a musical album instead. Really helps with the ol’ mental health.
“It’s like a disease,” Miss Proust said. “It sort of creeps up. It’s in the wind, as if it goes from person to person. Poison goes where poison’s welcome. And there’s always an excuse, isn’t there, to throw a stone at the old lady who looks funny. It’s always easier to blame somebody. And once you’ve called someone a witch, then you’d be amazed how many things you can blame her for.”
—Terry Pratchet, I Shall Wear Midnight
