DeleteFound the going tough today, could get only 50% after a late start. Need to rush off. Hope to have a 'tale'piece tomorrow
ReplyDeleteok.Doctor. we have privileged. National Health is first.
DeleteOh!
ReplyDeleteI too found the going tough, as always with AD.
Me too felt tough - Many blanks in North West Corner
ReplyDeleteAnother lockdown day. Deciding to UNPLUG myself and be in a mood of ESCAPISM, I decided to try Dr. RKE's hobby. Taking the PICCOLO and playing a merry tone, I, grown--up as I am, after taking my ELEVENSes, HAD A GO at writing. You know I keep ABREAST of day-to-day affairs even in these difficult days. So I can write an ARTICLE, let me say with CANDOUR. Don't you have ABIDING trust in my skill? Ideas are never DEPLETEd. Can sell these articles to UPSCALE journals for which I've LIINKS. CHURCHILL might approve! Having boasted like this, I hope I will emerge without a BRUISE on my body or without any STIGMA attached to my name. SAKI was a writer I liked and by reading him prodigiously I learnt a lot. Please don't think I SCROUNGE for compliments. Anyway, FREELANCES I did have succeeded. So LOOSEN your rigour and CAST a few words ofp raise to me. Don't be a PRISONER of false ideas in a mood of NECROSIS.
ReplyDeleteCompliments to you Sir.
