It got down to -15F last week. My Raynauds skeleton hands were NOT happy.

oh GOD that’s not riiiiight D: 

*frantically sends you warm non-achy-paining-stabbity, non-colour-changy prickly-zingy-cold-skin thoughts! Also, packages up some of the sunny Aussie summer weather to send to you too, rubs hands briskly in sympathy* 

OW. oh Nonnie, that would have been terrible, you poor thing! 

I’m re-reading Thud! at the moment and it feels like your Angua fanart has arrived at the perfect time (as it always does) <3 I gotta ask, have you ever drawn Sally?? I've seen a little bit of Sally fanart, not much tbh. A bit of a shame given how utterly different Angua & Sally & Cheery all look- one hell of an interesting trio, visually. Anyway I'm rambling now, just wanted to say- love your Angua, as always <3

daxarvedraws:

Thank you so much! I’ve got an awful habit of drawing the same set of characters over and over again, so I haven’t drawn Sally before! Here’s all three of that squad,
solving crime of, uh, some sort:

I suspect Sally doesn’t come up in fanart as much since (as far as I remember) she’s only in Thud!, but now that you’ve brought her up I sure would love to see more, like, casefic-type content about these three??

*fluffs you a pillow and brings you your slippers* I hope that you’re doing ok. My Canadian self thinks you’re crazy for dealing with Aussie winters, but still. Lots of hugs for you!!

Awww thank you, Nonnie! Aussie winters are the mildest damn things ever. Heck, you’re Canadian so our winter is probably a nice early autumn day for you 😀

I am TERRIFIED of your winters, tbh. I can handle our stupid scorching summer heat, under normal circumstances. I cannot deal. with. cold.

Wussy lil me (and my hyper-reactive Raynauds Syndrome) moans and whimpers through even a winter in Sydney. I turned into a mute person-burrito when I visited the Snowies a few years back. Just the thought of how cold it gets in Canada makes me go laskdjgflajhd NUUUU

haven’t heard much from you recently, dets! how’ve you been?

Been okay! It’s very hot and humid here, lots of storms lately. And I’m honestly in awe of every person who has been pregnant in the Queensland summer. And i’m in South-East QLD too, the cushiest, least-sweltery part of the state. 

I’ve had a LOT of visitors over the holiday period, and the Dwarfling has been home with me 24/7 also. So it’s been pretty busy!
