In just under two weeks, I’m Clarence, 9th Earl of Emsworth. Have you booked yet? www.studiotheatreclub.com/current-plans

Plus ca change…

I was surprised and delighted to discover today that this new special edition also includes the map I drew for the original hardback! @terrypratchett.bsky.social

Looking forward to playing a bit of Wodehouse. www.studiotheatreclub.com/current-plans

... and 1998 - my tee shirt read 'Cheaper than Alan Rickman' (and in smaller letters, 'and Charles Dance, Iain Richardson & the bloke who played the Emperor of Austria in Amadeus')

I just stumbled across this pic on the interweb - Terry and I in 1993 (one of our marathon signings at Forbidden Planet, Oxford St., London). @terrypratchett.bsky.social @rhi.bsky.social

Challenging work- helping the older grandson with a Lego build... luckily the younger one sidled in to help us out!

Cheers all!

Those who come to our stage shows will have observed my injured finger at 'Witches Abroad' and 'The Cherry Orchard'.... the recovery has been slow, but I have now been assessed by the local hand injury unit, & the hand is undergoing some robust physio! Hopefully, recovery will now accelerate!

I'm absolutely delighted with Stephen Player's wonderful artwork for my new Discworld play, 'A Trip on the Stage'. (This is the draft idea for my script cover). @terrypratchett.bsky.social @rhi.bsky.social

Yep. Spring has sprung.

Y'know, back in the day (before email was common), this is how Terry and I used to share (by snail mail) our updates to collaborations. For young readers, this disc(k) had a 1.44MB memory.

It must be Spring now..?

I’m feeling very bad. I have had to cancel a Discworld @terryandrob speaking engagement I accepted some time ago. Not wholly my fault; I’ve injured my back (1/3)

Running through my 'cue' cards for my upcoming talk about working with Terry (an invitation from a social club).

Sipsmith 😉

People my age recall only the fun of Britains ‘nightmare’ winter of 62/63!
