I hope you are all right. Please accept our condolences on the passing of Phil's father. That must have been a difficult week.

Let's change the subject now.

No.

Grantham is not terribly classy.

Mine is East Midlands.

Indeed. boy has a good imagination.

The clothes are great, their lifestyle and behaviour, not so much.

You two are a real pair. LOL.

You wouldn't know what to do with me, dressed like that, boy!

A beautifully written space tale. We find a man who is awoken into a mystery 400 years after the fact. He is alone except for the rather sarcastic ship's computer, SILAS, who turns out to be more than anyone bargained for, but he is integral to solving the reasons why they are where they are. There is so much here in these worlds, tim has built. Highly recommend that you don't miss this one.

Most likely the office knew, maybe the Captain and HR officer if there's such a thing. But likely not most of the crew. In any case, if these people did know, it's still a mystery why he was left behind. He sounds like a man you'd want along if you leaving your ship.

You know I love this story. I think it's well written and is engaging, hopeful and inspiring. Humans can do better, much better. We fight nature, but nature will out. And it doesn't take long. I believe after this war Earth experienced, people chose to live with nature, rather than fight it. And what of these three? Of to find the truth of what happened aboard The Horizon's Edge. What will they learn? It's going to be interesting. I do happen to know, Part 3 is longer than either part one or two. Something to look forward to with a cup of coffee.

Nice to see you back.

Brilliant. That's a hard question to answer without more information. So much time has passed as well. None of the original crew would like be alive, though who can say for sure since James Carson is... Looking forward to more!

It's pretty horrific here. Warnings not to leave the house without a respirator mask. This morning the sky isn't bright orange at least. Though there are buildings we cannot see. We have an air purifier going which seems to help somewhat, but some rooms we've closed off stink of smoke. There are lots of fires north of us all across the country. Sadly wind and weather are not bound by maps or hand drawn borders.

The ❤️ is for you, but you know this. I'll sit with you always.

I'd eat that. I'd have to watch the rice and potato, but it sounds delicious.

These constant med changes are the culprit. Be patient, keep getting out for exercise and fresh air. Dinner's on me tonight. You take it easy.

I hope it's working well for you!

In the Quiet After After the sirens fade, A heavy silence fills the air, For those who stood when duty called And gave a life of courage there. There was no promise of return, Only the weight of what must be done, Stepping forward at the hardest hour While others turned away to run. Now their badges rest, and flags are still, Their names are spoken soft and clear, Not only carved in grief and stone, Remembered now and coming years. Their homes now are forever changed, Families left with memory and prayer, We all pause, with heads bowed low, To honour those no longer there. And though their watch has ended now, Their service does not pass away— It lives in memory, love, and duty, And in the light of every day.

Who needs teeth really? You have a blender.

No, it's an epidemic in some places.

Good grief.

Interesting. People are...people. We should stop flattering ourselves by saying how intelligent we are. I have seen too much, dealt with too much. Nothing applies to them, for example, oh don't drink and drive doesn't apply to me, I can hold my booze. Yeah, keep saying that as I search your bloody smashed up body for your ID, so I can go visit your family and explain why you are never coming home again. I'm sure most of us who have ever worked with people, in whatever capacity, can say the same, or similar things. It's too bad your manager was out of the office. Yeah, you don't need to be committing fraud. Sometimes, sorry nope is the only answer we can give. It was good of you to give her some info, that's great service. At some point, most of us learn (usually via the school of hard knocks) that we need to be more on top of things and to not procrastinate. Hopefully, this woman realized her mistakes and doesn't make the same ones in the future.
