Discworld QOTD, from Snuff āCheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.ā

Enjoyed the State Ballet of Georgiaās Swan Lake with the MIL in Dublin today. Really fabulous costumes, a solid Corp de Ballet and a super Von Rothbart. The Spanish dancers were the biggest hit with the audience. A happy ending surprised me - not convinced it works!
