Welcome back, language learners! In today's episode on the Goss, with my dad Ian Smissen, we dive into an extraordinary discovery that took place in the beautiful city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Picture this: a 135-year-old message in a bottle!

A curious woman stumbled upon this ancient message right in her own home. Can you imagine the excitement? The note was penned by two local workers way back in 1877. It's like stepping into a time machine!

So what did this remarkable message say, you ask? Well, it wasn't your ordinary shopping list or weather report. No, no. This message had a touch of existentialism to it. The writers simply contemplated the fleeting nature of time and the inevitable dust that would cover their once-bustling lives. But isn't it amazing how such deep thoughts can stand the test of time.

Inspired by this mysterious message, we start pondering. If we were to create our own time capsule for future generations, what would we write? What message would we leave behind? The possibilities are endless! We might share our hopes, dreams, or even a piece of advice to those yet to come. Or you can simply say, "I lived here."

What would you leave as a message for people in the future? Let us know in the comments!

Until then, keep learning, keep exploring, and keep spreading the joy of learning! See you in the next episode! 👋
