Everything in Scotland has to be “wee” regardless of whether it’s small or not.

“Alright there, wee man?”

“See that wee tree over there.”

“Would you like a wee drink to go with your wee pieces?”

I'm giving away this signed 1st edition h/b of my new novel (it has a tiny jacket rip which means I wouldn't sell it) to one person who reposts this.

You might like it if you like:
Folkloric creatures
Old records
Intricate psychedelic stories
The idea of circular time

All shares much-appreciated.

#OTD 45 years ago (7 Oct 1980) according to my diary, I drew these images for the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC TV series. Douglas Adams as both the ad exec and as Paula, the worst poet in the universe. I was 19 years old and having fun.

Ugh. As Mr B would say “tiresome”.

Don’t let the buggers grind you down.

For what it’s worth, I thoroughly enjoyed all three and a half hours of it. ♥️
