Clearly, I chose the wrong career path. Oh well, too late now...

I found this on Wikipedia: A BBC docudrama based on Pratchett's life, Terry Pratchett: Back In Black, was broadcast in February 2017, starring Paul Kaye as Pratchett.

New user Hamm has an IP address in the US. I took a chance and activated them. Are they genuine? Let's wait and see...

All my attention is focused on staying upright and holding on to the dog. I'm not likely to attempt any photography of any sort.
