#WearTheLilac #Glorious25thOfMay #GNUTerryPratchett #SpeakHisName
On 25th May each year, Terry Pratchett fans remember the People's Glorious Revolution of Treacle Mine Road¹. It's also Geek Pride Day²
On this day, in the past, I've asked if my social media followers are wearing the lilac, if they have their towel, if they've had a hard-boiled egg.

Today I have the lilac and a towel.
And I have a hardboiled egg.
In memory of two much loved, much missed authors.
I bought a lilac tree. We’d strong winds a few days ago and the few flowers it had blew off, but thankfully i took a photo before then.
You may see a lot of lilacs on your timeline today. Tradition of #Discworld fandom which happens on the 25th of May - started with a few lines in the book #NightWatch - but as many parts of Terry’s work do - it resonates into real life. Memory, death, commemoration - #WearTheLilac
A happy #Glorious25th to those who celebrate.
