Nomes live ten times faster than humans. They're harder to see than a high- speed mouse. That's one reason why most humans hardly ever see them. The other is that humans are very good at not seeing things they know aren't there. And, since sensible humans know that there are no such things as people four inches high, a nome who doesn't want to be seen probably won't be seen.

Room temp fizzy drinks! What an abomination unto Nuggan! #Discworld #GnuTerryPratchett

I’ll drink water at room temp, but if its fizzing then it needs ice, or at least to have come out of the fridge. Did they teach you nothin in the Navy 😂

I’m on the H2O at the mo because it’s far too hot for my late morning brew!
