• 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.

No pressure, no diamonds.

I like the idea of a river that slowly changes the rockbed by flowing over it and over it. Smoothing edges with a gentle touch. Seems a more peaceful way to change to me.

Ah that's eroding rough edges. A pearl becomes round and shiny and precious from layers and layers of experience.
Cultured pearls come from a US river mussel. The Japanese mollusks rejected all other irritants but bits of their shell grew into large well nacred pearls quickly. The original Mikimoto.
