I did not know Granary Square existed until the last UD Council meeting.
It is nice.

I read elseweb the suggestion that if it was an assisted death (and I'm not saying it was), no-one would say publicly; it would open them to prosecution. In my head-canon Terry Pratchett died a graceful death. It's the least he or anyone else deserves.
I only met him the once, on one of his early tours of New Zealand. There were about twenty to thirty people(?) at the signing. I, painfully shy, waited for the longest time before approaching. He was very generous about it. I may misremember him wincing* as he signed my book ("Good Omens" purchased that day because I wasn't going to go and had left the house without any of his books, but then I thought "Bugrit! I should make the effort", and I am glad I did).
*He was wearing a wristbrace and clearly in some discomfort from OOS**.
**Or RSI as we called it back then.
