Lurgie and Small Gods

[peck72]

There hasn't been too much to blog about recently since I've spent the last week or so suffering from a lurgie (is that how you spell it?) that hasn't got bad enough to take time off work but is bad enough to not be easily ignorable. So I've been living on throat sweets, occasionally trying to hack up a lung and not doing much else, great huh.

But anyway, Radio Four are running a dramatisation of Terry Pratchett's 'Small Gods'. It follows the story of Novice Brutha, a follower of the Great God Om, who finds his god has incarnated itself as a tortoise and now can't change back. It's never been my favourite book of Terry's (I was a fairly new christian when I first read it and I think I prickled a bit at the thought of jokes about my new beliefs ) but it has grown on me the more I've read it.The second episode is available on listen again (at the moment anyway) but it looks like the first one has been taken down. If anyone would like to hear it though let me know and I'll put it up somewhere for download (and the rest if wanted) as I've been instructed in the ways of saving such things by the ever helpful Andy. Many thanks, Andy.

All of the BBC stuff is only available for a week - just make sure you have a weekly reminder to download the next weeks version. I've listened to the first episode which was good and I'll be listening to next weeks in the car tomorrow.

The second episode is just as good. I think I'm going to have to re-read Small Gods though just so I know where all the little details I think I remember fit in to the story.
