Terry received ten honorary doctorates over the years and July sees a number of these anniversaries:
🎓 University of Warwick 14th July 1999
🎓 University of Portsmouth 7th July 2001
🎓 University of Bristol in 16th July 2004

Sir Terry also had a very strong relationship with the King`s College London, on the 20th July 2011 King’s conferred Sir Terry an Honorary Fellowship, which is one of the most prestigious awards they can bestow.
"Sir Terry was a very generous supporter of our Alzheimer’s disease research programmes here and made some memorable visits to meet our researchers. He had a rare variant of Alzheimer’s disease that meant that he was able to understand his predicament and articulate his views until much later in the illness than would be usual." — Professor Robert Howard

#NationalMoonDay
The celestial object that illuminates our nighttime sky with its mysterious radiance and changing phases, sparking inspiration among poets, artists, and scientists alike. It`s quite a coincidence that tonight happens to be a full moon.
`I have absolute confidence in Mr da Quirm’s work, and I’m sure he has too.’
‘Oh, dear. No, I never bother to have any confidence,’ said Leonard.
‘You don’t?’
‘No, things just work. You don’t have to wish,’ said Leonard. ‘And, of course, if we do fail, then things won’t be that bad, will they? If we fail to come back, there won’t be anywhere left to fail to come back to in any case, will there? So it will all cancel out.’ He gave his happy little smile. ‘Logic is a great comfort in times like this, I always find.` (LH)

A notable date in the #Discworld calendar for you today.
📆 19th Grune – Invention of the Pencil
"On this day in AM1789, Osric Pencillium succeeded in domestically cultivating the graphite-cored, thin-branched bush which now bears his name. Early ‘pencils’ were very soft 4B varieties." — https://bit.ly/The-Ankh-Morpork-Archives-Vol-1
Our pencils are not the graphite-cored thin-branched bush type, thankfully! Rather they are midnight blue, HB and have a white rubber to undo any mistakes. This set of 5 designs feature typography inspired by some of our favourite characters:
🐀 Death of Rat’s ‘SQUEAK!’
📚 Librarian’s ‘Ook!’
🧙♀️ Granny’s favourite sign ‘I Aten’t Dead’
🌃 The City Watch’s slogan ‘Fabricati Diem PVNC’
🧙♂️ Rincewind’s unique moniker ‘Wizzard’

Here with Terry & Genghis at home in Wiltshire. Rather fitting for #NationalKittenDay.
“Cats have a way of always having been there even if they`ve only just arrived. They move in their own personal time.They act as if the human world is one they just happened to have stopped off in, on their way to somewhere that is possibly a whole lot more interesting.” The Unadulterated Cat

The Bursar glared. `Are you making fun of me?` he said. `Amazin !` said Ridcully. `It`s got him stumped! s’ better than dried frog pills! How did you work it out?` `Er’ said Ponder, `It sort of just happened’ `Amazin`,` said Ridcully. He knocked the ashes out of his pipe on Hex`s ‘Anthill Inside’ sticker, causing Ponder to wince. `This thing`s a kind of big artificial brain, then?` `You could think of it like that,` said Ponder, carefully. `Of course, Hex doesn`t actually think. Not as such. It just appears to be thinking.` `Ah. Like the Dean,` said Ridcully. `Any chance of fitting a brain like this into the Dean`s head?` `It does weigh ten tons, Archchancellor.`

There are 8 terms at the Unseen University; Octinity, Rotation, Backspindle, Hogswatch, Evelyn, Micklemote, Candlerent and Soul Cakes.
Incredibly each one is roughly one week long, to minimise the time that the professors must spend teaching.
Today is the last Saturday of June and marks the end of the Backspindle term. As tradition has it, time to pop on your dancing shoes and enjoy The Wizards` Excuse Me. A large dance to which the city nobles are invited. There are two bands and a giant buffet with three dozen kinds of meat. Yum!

#NationalCameraDay today
The camera in #Discworld is know as an iconograph. Sitting inside, ready and waiting, is a tiny imp who quickly paints the pictures (AKA iconographs) of the subject at hand.
"He`s got a box with a demon in it that draws pictures," said Rincewind shortly. "Do what the madman says and he will give you gold." — #TerryPratchett, Colour of Magic

“Gaspode had a way of turning up silently like a small puff of methane in a crowded room, and with the latter’s distressing ability to fill up all available space.” - Men At Arms
