COLD DARK ROOM

[Gillian M]

The hurricane has just featured on our weather forecast on the lunchtime news in UK They said it was the first to hit Florida like this in 11 years.

Please take care Ed. It might be worthwhile delaying the trip.

Hi Linda, hope you are all well back there.

Hope that Ed manages to receive these messages.

Yes, I've been reading about this and chatting with people the last few days.
Thanks for posting an i will copy it and add it to my files.
Unfortunately, I have studied several images of the fossils concerned and am not convinced that they are signs of bioturbation or stromatolitic growth. I'm not saying they're not, but it's impossible to tell if they are, or are geological features caused by deformation of the rocks in the intervening time (and it's a really long time). Wishful thinking, if you ask me, but i hope i'm wrong.
if correct that's 220 million years older than the earliest 'certain' stromatolitic formations known, which is about the same as the difference between us now and the earliest known true dinosaurs. Long time, but not impossible.
The Mars stuff is even more tenuous.

This is my oldest fossil, a stromatolite from here, in Morocco.
A mere three quarters of a billion years old, though.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yessir.

Hope Oli is feeling better today.
It's a little cooler here, so Tidgy's becoming a bit more active, which is a relief.

 

[Linhdan Nguyen]

Yes, i can tell you've had a couple of slurps from your post!
Drink lots of water before you go to bed.
Glad to hear Max is doing so well, and so sorry Khaleesi hasn't made a return yet, but sometimes people find a lost tortoise months after the event so you're right not to give up hope.
Your classmates seem mice?
Do mice make good teachers ?

Aww man! I didnt even notice the "mice" thing.
Well, no hangover ! Im going to get out of bed soon to start looking at all the homework i have to do.
I hope Khaleesi shows up before winter comes. The days are still hot but the nights are getting cooler and the first day of autumn is in 3 weeks.
The mouse in Tom and Jerry seemed like a good teacher! Lol

 

[Linhdan Nguyen]

Good morning all. JoesDad and I are celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary today. He left for work at 5am and I didn't get up for him

We're not going anywhere tonight - not after that early start - we'll open a nice bottle of wine tonight.

Happy Anniversary!

 

[Gillian M]

Pleased to know that Tidgy is doing better.

Oli is still somewhat inactive, don't know why.He really is worrying me. Mind you, temperature has dropped here as well. But it is still hot.

 

[Linhdan Nguyen]

Hi! Hope you are well. Haven't seen you around for quite some time.

Yes all is well! A little worried and stressed about school but its the first week.
How are you and Oli? Adam tells me its still hot as ever in Jordan?

I must admit that I felt there was some journalistic license being used with the Martian link!
