Yes, we have woken to this very sad news in the UK.

He was an extraordinary man both for his science and his perseverance and determination with his disability.

He is a huge loss. The world just got several IQ points dumber on average :(

Good morning all. I start today with a meeting all morning.

Morning, roommates! I slept on and off for about 12 hours in my corner and can’t yet say whether I’m better. But at least I’m drinking coffee again. Hope everyone is properly caffeinated (if you need to be). ;)
I hope you do decide you’re feeling better Lena. Take it easy all the same. No point making yourself worse again.

And thank you all for being with me. It wasn't an easy day yesterday, but life goes on (as long as we don't get any more snow!)

I'll leave you with a quote from Stephen Hawking before I head to my meeting

Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up.

Make that your mantra

Good Morning Linda.
Good luck with the meeting. Lunch time soon for me. I am stealing a few minutes to catch up with CDR.

Here in the USA, today, it is "Save a spider day". I already failed at 4:32am. Oopsie... Gumorning folks and big hugs !!
Good Morning kelly.
As long as the spider stays outside it is safe. And or as long as might exist or not she is safe too. These are rain spiders which live in my garden. Which is where they stay or they get zapped with a zapper which electrocutes them. [emoji15] 20170425_172738.jpg

I'm unhappy but so grateful for incredible folks like him !! I guess he's floating among the stars now, probably the best ending ever. Ty for sharing.
