Very sorry to read this. Never nice to lose family.. :-(

Just to share my final poem (a tanka, rather than haiku - needed more lines) that I just posted on ADN.

the trees are now bare,
leaves fallen and birds have flown,
only ghosts remain,
calling back to memory,
the scent of blossoms, fallen

#tanka

That's really not acceptable. It would be reasonable to have some sort of non-compete clause, and there's probably all sorts of intellectual property clauses already, but nothing as blanket as that is acceptable.
If they come back, maybe compromise and suggest something about keeping them informed of such ventures?

Proton Mail is a good fit visually..?

Just caught up on my timeline. ~hugs~

@kdfrawg I know what you mean. The whole flying process is just such a frustrating, tiring experience these days..

Yes, so far - caught bus in plenty of time, so I can relax with a cuppa when I reach the airport..

Just waiting for my bus to the airport, it's been a pleasant visit even if brief, and mostly for work.

Hmm… Live music, 1am finish and a Guinness & Writer's Tears end to the evening.. I must be (a) in Dublin and (b) a little drunk..!
