The weekend, and the rain, has arrived.

What are we all up to? Mourning the lack of sun? Happy for the rain? Still playing Tears of the Kingdom with the curtains closed?

Currently out walking the dog in the fields. The sun's come out, the petrichor is in full swing, it's a lovely morning. We've seen a green woodpecker. Edit: dog rolled in fox poo. Boo

Off to a party to see some old friends later. Yay.

Love a good old bit of petrichor. Seems to trigger floods of nostalgia.

There's a word I had to look up and will now annoy everyone with as much as possible!

Also stirred a memory of a Terry Pratchet book from a scarily long time ago!

The Last Continent! Great book, if one of the more outright nonsensically comedic ones.

I'm not certain but I suspect I probably learned it from a Discworld book, also a scarily long time ago!
