• 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

    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.

Those Litopians that go back with me a while know I am subject to the need to find a retreat and curl up, from time to time. I've been working on a new book, and trying to complete an older one, but Summer has won, my focus is gone and I've been doing home repair chores for the last two months. IN general, the news on both sides of the water has been as depressing as I can remember it, so escape seems the order of the day.
 
Glad to see you uncurled and emerged. Yup, lots of bad stuff going on. Which may mean it's going to get better. Or worse.
