jackI wasn't going to buy the new Pratchett. The Discworld books are still good, but I felt for once I could wait for the paperback. But on the trip I cracked, deciding I did want it, and if Terry was going to be ill a bit of solidarity now could only be nice, but there weren't any in the services.
And then I found someone had anticipated *both* these developments, and mum and grandfather had got it for me for christmas. Meaning I did have a christmas present I was excited to have, I thought this might be the first year when I was old enough not to be excited about getting up at christmas, but I still am. I guess I will be again when I have a wife/family.
Mum also got me some new clothes, which are very nice. I've talked before about my philosophy of presents. They're nice to have, but what I really appreciate is that she took the time to go shopping, the drag of which is what I'm very grateful she saved me.
