Min 17-årige er i gang med Eragon serien -jeg kan godt høre ham om det kunne have interesse. Hvad har du brug for af feedback fra ham (hvis jeg kan sælge ham ideen)?

It’s the perfekt time of the year to start reading Hogfather -which, incidentally, is the one that got me hooked some 30 years ago -but beware, they’re highly addictive 😉
I’ve re-read the entire series at least 5 times, maybe more.

Jeg tror aldrig jeg har hørt nogen sige det på den måde, men nu kan jeg ikke høre andet -eller lade være med at grine, selv når nogen siger det rigtigt.
Tak 😆

Well, it pushed me towards reading more english litterature, so it’s not all bad.
I think it started when I read the translated versions of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhikers books when I was 12 or 13 -and discovered the original in a bookshop some 5 years later. I never looked back 😉

Jeg har en onkel der siger hångklæde -men også Helsinnør…

Nu mere nu bedre…

I’ve read a couple of the danish translations. Quite a lot is lost in translation, so I’ll just stick with the originals.

Sverigestur. Svampetur. Ny telefon -nye fotomuligheder…

Hej sommerferie. Hej Rørvig. Hej lav puls, hej Kindle, hej morgen-, middags- og aftenbadning, hej grillmad og chill med hende den dejlige og de to lange lømler. 14 dages Odsherred lige ind i årerne, øjnene og porerne. Aaaah…

Another @copenhell.bsky.social in the books. Line-up this year was a weird mix but the vibe was as good as the weather and the beer cold. What more does one really need?

Jeg har #solnedgangsvagten oppe ved Raslången, hvor jeg er på tur med the teens, der har begavet mig med deres selskab i hele 3 dage. Jeg er stolt og lidt beæret over at de vælger at bruge pinsen på at traske rundt med rygsæk på i mit selskab ☺️

Easterhiking with my oldest, on the #skåneledenSL1 from Sölvesborg to Österfors. A lot of uphill/downhill which is tough on the old legs (and the young ones as well).
It’s our first time doing this without the young one and my gf -but not the last. We’re a good team ☺️

It’s very much TP -and it seeps through quite a lot of his books (but most prominently via Sam Vimes).

I find the Colour of Magic and Interesting Times a little hard to get through, but I love the rest of the wizard books.

Do you mean all DW books with the wizards, or just the first ones? I typically have a hard time getting through The Color of Magic and Interesting times, when re-reading the series, although they do have their moments -but I really like Ridcully and that bunch at UU.

Første tirsdag efter fastelavn, er #pandekagedag -så i dag har den 14-årige stået for tortillas med fyld til forret og pandekager til dessert.
Det fejler ingenting.

Men da det lidt lader til at folk spreder sig for alle vinde og jeg ikke har timer nok i døgnet, til at følge med på alle platforme, tester jeg om @openvibe.social er en brugbar løsning.

Jeg er, som så mange andre, blevet så træt af Meta/Twitter at jeg er begyndt at se på nogle af alle de alternativer der er dukket op de senere år.

Uhm… Hello world? Det er mig, Jakob, the artist formerly known as Cykelhviskeren (eller Stregeritegningen, hvis man fulgte med der).

Nothing out of the ordinary, I’d say -what can I do to get it back?

Hey, @bsky.app @support.bsky.team -my art account @ferkswerk.bsky.social was apparently closed by moderators for spammy behaviour?
The account was created for use with @flashes.blue
I have posted 4 pics of pencil drawings (by me), followed a bunch of people and liked a bunch of posts.

My funny #valentine…
Jeg er ikke til afskårne blomster -overhovedet. Jeg synes de er spild af ressourcer og meget lidt bæredygtige.
Chokofanter og HobNobs med chokolade derimod, især når de er arrangeret så smukt som her ;)

Great! In the meantime: I get a “rate limit exceeded” error message when I try to log in. Any advice?

Yes!!! Will there be an option to switch accounts, like on Instagram?

#qlessgame is good, clean family entertainment -and as a non-english speaker, it’s extra brain gymnastics to solve every throw.

Jeg sad faktisk og ledte efter dk pakker igår aftes, men uden held. Er de overhovedet søgbare?

When #Pterry died, I started looking for his non-fiction (there are several, highly recommended) and non-discworld books, to fill the gap.
I do read other authors as well ( #Gaiman, #King, #LeGuin, #Aaronovitch and more), but the #Discworld books are a special joy to come back to, again and again.
