I absolutely love Morrissey's music. I saw him twenty years ago and he was great.
But it is difficult these days.

Why the secrecy?

Liberace?

LOL, he's the surprise villain this week on Batman (TPTV), playing two parts, as his "normal" outrageous persona and evil twin brother - as if the TV series of Batman wasn't weird enough
Got the all clear on a chest x-ray and blood test, so that's perked me up a bit as I'd been concerned about my shortage of breath being worse of late, and the doctor telling me I had a "shadow" on one of my lungs - PHEW! What a relief to find I hadn't

Well done.
That's good. You can breathe easy now!
Yeah, we want our codgers fit and hearty.
I'm heading into that phase myself.

Thank you Dave 😊

Thank you Billy, just waiting to hear from the doctor on what the ECG results, as I'm still feeling tired all the time, apart from the extra shortage of breath

Hope you have nothing untoward

Dear Claire,
Some of the other lessees in my block of luxury apartments (aka flats) have composed a joint letter to the managing agents & the freeholders and they are asking all the rest of us to sign the letter as well.
My problem is that, on reading the letter, I noticed a split infinitive in the very first sentence. Obviously I cannot condone such a grammatical faux pas; nor do I want to risk insulting the writer of the letter by pointing it out. I have no problem with the subject of the letter. Should I sign the letter and forever be derided by the recipients for the use of a split infinitive or should I decline to sign it and thus avoid eternal embarrassment?
Gerrit signed ya boiled turnip.
I was sound asleep this morning after a night shift, and when I saw that my mother was calling I knew it would be bad news. Hospice said that my father is very close to passing on, so my mother is there and I'm at the airport. The quickest arrival I could find was to fly into Tampa and drive to the east coast. ETA will be around 9:30. I have a feeling that I won't get there in time, but I need to be there for my mother.

Good luck. Thinking of you.

Thanks. My brother just landed in Fort Lauderdale. I'm 37000 feet over Pensacola, Florida. I'll have a 3-hour, 170-mile drive across the state. I'll hit rush hour in Tampa, so that should be fun.
