• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

square.pngLast night the Book club spent a fabulous evening with Annie Summerlee… if you were there, I think you’ll agree it was an excellent event. Annie was incredibly open and helpful to everyone. We all left with a smile on our faces, Annie is very inspirational. Success couldn’t happen to a nicer person :)

Very sadly, the audio didn’t record properly. This is entirely my fault, I’ve never recorded a multi-part Zoom before, and although the video was fine, the audio suffers from feedback. I was indeed monitoring it – there was no indication of feedback on my headset output… but there was on the tx version.

So we won’t be able to put the video up, sadly. However - it was good enough for us to get a transcript.

The transcript will need some editing / cleaning up, and probably dividing into topics. Then we’ll post it here in the Colony.

Would any kind Litopian offer to act as transcript editor, please?

It’s currently 27 pages, but will probably cut down to 2/3rd that length.

I know it would be much appreciated by those who couldn’t attend, but who will get some benefit from reading it.

:) p.
 
That's brilliant! Very much appreciated. I'll get the assets up now, then DM you full instructions :) p.
