Let me read it to you

For goodness sake Albert, stop whinging you silly old fool, you are not going to die (cross fingers behind back) ninety-five is nothing these days (double cross fingers behind back), liquidity comes to us all as time goes by (is that actually a word?)
All this nonsense about the autumn of your life, your aching back, your eternal suffering (place hand on brow, and speak in a theatrical fashion) oh how you are suffering!
Obviously, the loss of your wife was a bit unfortunate but there’s no point in longing for the past, after all, life goes on (hopefully) and there are plenty more fish in the pond (like that old trout down the pub last week that hinted she was ready and willing to be netted!)
Come on ‘ole mate, you are exceptional for your age (whoops, shouldn’t have brought the age thing up again, best change subject)
Right, we going down the Red Lion. It’s your round by the way (I don’t like leaving a session when it’s his round next, you may never get it!)
What do you mean you need a power nap before we walk to the pub, and don’t pretend you are dozing off (give him a nudge), hey matey, don’t fall asleep on me now (give him a gentle shake ) Albert fella’, come on, Albert, wake up, Albert, Albert, ALBERT … oh, blast!

Bless you, Beth.
Oops! Too late for that round at the pub 😅
Sadly so!
😢😅
RIP, Albert. It’s not easy having such optimists around when you’re 95.
I imagine it’s not. Cheers, Christine.
lol
‘when it’s his round next, you may never get it!‘
Sitting in the back of the writing class that I enjoy every Thursday, I wave my hand frantically, “I know!! I know” Not wanting to risk not being acknowledged by annoyed instructor, a shouted: “Foreshadowing That was fore….”
;p
fun Six, good writing lesson
If only I had more students like you! Thanks so much, Clark.
It sounds like Albert didn’t make it to the pub to buy the next round. Hopefully he just fell asleep.
I’d like to think so, especially as it’s his round! Sadly, however, I fear not.
One way of getting out of buying a round I suppose!!
He probably went with a satisfied smile on his face!
Ha!!
Albert has left the building
Indeed he has!
Oh dear!
That’s that then!
Except for the pestering friend, not a bad way to go, drifting off at a ripe old age.
Not until the end, Keith, did I see that coming.
Poor MC, but at least Albert was not alone as he left to take the “long” nap.
wait … he died?? oh. no.
