@DrorBedrack@mastodon.social I honestly am not sure it is Reaper Man. It may also be in the The Wyrd Sisters. The character was an old lady with dementia, and I thought it was someone Mrs Cake was caring for, but I'm not sure now. I just remember the character had a caretaker or extended family caring for he.

@pronounshe@lgbtqia.space @DrorBedrack@mastodon.social I was wondering if it could be one of the older witches in the Lancre extended coven - in my mind I’m linking it to a line about someone having a detached retina in their 3rd eye but I might be muddling 2 different things together

@pronounshe@lgbtqia.space It could be from Lords and Ladies or Carpe Jugulum, where Granny is dealing with dementia, or at least the fear of dementia. There's something similar in Night Watch, where Vimes hides the silver inkwell in the safe: "(at this age) a man learned to treat his memory as only a rough guide to events" Tiffany Aching is taking care of old people in "a Hat Full of Sky" and in "Wintersmith"
