Post your favourite Terry Pratchett quote as your status for the day, not only a day to celebrate the extraordinary mind that bought us the Disc-world books but also to raise awareness of Alzheimers Disease.
When Sir Terry speaks about his disease he does so in a typical style.....

My name is Terry Pratchett, author of a series of inexplicably successful fantasy books and I have had Alzheimer's now for the past two years plus, in which time I managed to write a couple of bestsellers.
I have a rare variant. I don't understand very much about it, but apparently if you are going to have Alzheimer's it's a good one to have.
So, a stroke of luck there then!
Interestingly enough, when I was diagnosed last December by those nice people at Addenbrooke's, I started a very different journey through dementia.
This one had much better scenery, interesting and often very attractive inhabitants, wonderful wildlife and many opportunities for excitement and adventure.
Bless you Sir Pratchett
I want to thank everyone who took part in the last Status Week and I look forward to the next one!
