She said, and I quote "he's really, really lovely!"

Carry on.

Where and how?

I'm reading his biography (First Man) at the moment.

By all accounts he is a very, very nice man.

She met him where she works - the Lloyd's insurance market. She was less clear as to what he was doing there, but it seems to be related to the 40th anniversary and is probably one of the syndicates that specialises in space risks that has invited him over.

Lucky her.

I'm expecting all sorts of things on TV this year to celebrate the 40th Anniversary.

Indeed. I said I was quite envious, but I'm just glad she knew who he was a didn't call him Buzz Lightyear!

Yeah, but my money is on there being a plethora of hoax documentaries.

I don't think so. I think the steam has gone out of that particular nonsense.
