Just Three Secrets

                                                                   Suddenly
                                                   and for no obvious reason ..
                                                            He remembered
                                                 something he had long since
                                                              forgot but had
                                                  hid in a diary, that he hoped
                                                              still kept safe,
                                                 the three secrets, he wanted
                                                              to take to his
                                                  grave when the time finally
                                                             came to let go
                                                and to say ciao to everyone ..
                                                       Yes, it was a real gas
                                             getting to make each one of you ..

Oh god... the last thing you need especially before a holiday... I hope you don't have to cancel.  They say the sea air is healing though. Wishing you a speedy speedy recovery ...Hugs 💕

Thanks Marion .. I'm keeping my fingers crossed all the antibiotics will have therapeutic value .. I still have almost a week to go but would cancel if necessary becuz I don't fancy getting stuffed for crazy bills or my insurance being invalid xx

I am going to give you 4 stars, and you’ll get the 5th only if you tell us
what those 3 secrets are. For my part, I was born curious and I am dying 
to know it. I am not a “bribing” person, but just now …. I can’t resist!    B

Hello B .. so good to hear from you .. & thanks for those stars, they brighten up the room on a somewhat miserable grey Friday ..

I'm also glad my little scribble whetted your appetite & curiosity .. However, as much as I would like to satisfy your needs and desires, you really ought to know by now that a proper gentleman neva tells ..

And I would be disappointed 
if you tell. Secrets are meant to be kept. I am glad you had a sense of humour on this.
I send you my best wishes for a good recovery. It must be pretty painful & dark.
Let your thoughts keep you strong & turn your face towards the light.
Sincerely,
Bernadete

I'll join Marion's chorus and it's good to see you back Nev and trade her good for great to see you back and here's the kicker- I never knew you left!!
Been absent myself  but all good now.
So hello Nev and nice to see you haven't lost your touch here and deftly done and only you can write like this.
Only you.
For there are two ways of looking at it. 
It stays secret as secrets should regardless of how many involved, the number three a tease, or a big 3XL shower curtain is gonna be needed and a gasmask.

No doubt this is from your 354th book since I've been absent, so I'll check on Amazon and see what gems I've missed, the last one bought was Echoes Don't Tell Lies.
And have checked and bloody hell Nev, it's like Lee Child and the Jack Reacher series, you are prolific!
Quality has an audience and sells.
And sells well.
Guess the drinks are on you and I'll have a Guinness.
See and read you again and I will fill in those missing gaps.
And I now remember your superb end saying...

All good things to you :)

Well hello stranger ..

My word, it's so bloomin good to hear from you Shaun .. it has been such a long time .. I must confess, I had begun to think you may have forsaken me ..

I sincerely hope you and yours are all well and that life is treating you kindly .. At the moment, I am signed off sick with pneumonia but am determined to get better sharpish as I am hoping to get away for a few weeks (again on doctors orders) .. I will probably share the whole story with you one day .. You have been greatly missed here at Cosmo and I am sure by many others besides my miserable self ..

I have not been away, by the way, as mentioned by our lovely Marion, I have just not been too great of late but am heading in the write direction at last .. and just between you n me .. three means exactly 3 and I am not hankering for a number 4 .. 

I kind of lost track of the number of my books you so kindly bought but may I respectfully ask you to go check my messages to you .. The last one wasn't responded to .. I hope the reason for this request becomes clear when you have .. Anyway, I shall add a little addendum immediately for your eyes only .. In the meantime & until I hear back from you brother take care and wishing you all the very best of All Good Things,

Neville :)

 And good to see you're still here Nev, just had more important things to let healing time attend to.
All good now and back on track.
For life is good now and generous too.
You mention you have pneumonia be very, very careful there, for a close one dear to me and family had it and passed away. 
Always, always in our thoughts.
Good to know that you are journeying in the right direction , it maybe slowly, but at least you're moving.
And ah!...'three means exactly 3 and I am not hankering
for a number 4' 
Thank you for that, very generous.

Have responded to your latest message and apologies for not the previous one (read latest on that front).
And for your eyes only.

Get better, keep your mind active, hand in glove with your imagination, at your own steady pace and leisure.

And this so so poet wishes you wellness my brother.
'For those who have health, have hope and those who have hope, have everything.'

Shaun :)

There's not enough room in this largish rectangle for me to adequately explain how glad I truly am that YOU are back mate .. You were greatly missed .. and if I'm either rambling or repeating myself, (or both) forgive me but it's either a sign of my genuine concern for your wellbeing or a symptom of my current pneumonia .. Actually, I'm pretty sure it is both ..

Still, thanks for the update and reassurance that you are back on track and that life is now being kind, generous and good even .. Had it not been, I swear I would have tried to undertake a little embu this evening (with your name on it (when my significant other goes out to get her hair done) .. She's presently watching me like a hawk which is why I tried to be clever and suggest her locks are looking a tad limp and reminded her that if all goes well, we should be setting off for South America via Miami next week .. I Just knew she would book herself an appointment and free me up for an hour or two .. Bloomin heck .. type about ramble .. 

Anyway, just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANKYOU .. so there ya have it ..

All Good Things .. From an ever so grateful Me .. N 👍👍

Nev, life is at last on a deserving even keel now and the good sea it's on will wash over you soon, purge all problems, troubles, worries and issues all worries vanquished.
It'll arrive in good time and call for you too.
And have replied to your latest message with a well intentioned pick me up tonic and yes there is mention of Guinness, but it's not that.
And Miami sounds an inspired choice of venue bloody marvellous for you et all.
Get there and dodge Blighty's November doldrums.
And please, please, please  please Nev, leave any rambling and long-windedness in my more than capable and well-proven keyboard chaffed and profusely bleeding fingers for as you can most clearly and evidently see from my usage of the word please alone and the long- windedness which again is evidently proven in this overlong rambling sentence, probably a world record so you better call Guinness and while you're there, have a deserving one on me squire and bill me- but only for the one!

A massive thank you back at you brother
Have a great time and soak up the sun and convalesce, switch off and enjoy.😎👍👍 
Shaun:)

Bless you. I had pneumonia once, when I was a youngster. It kept me off school for a month and I was still wheezing when I went back.  And my youngest grandaughter was hospitalised with it at 15 months old. It's a nasty thing and I really do wish you well very soon. Completely well. Take care and take things easy xx
