the tide is high.. maybe
She is most welcome to come and sing to me any time she likes - I cannot imagine anything more desirable than Blondie singing to me under the stars while at anchor among the tall trees on the upper reaches of the Fal where only a heron's cry can disturb the idyll of the moment.
i presume you mean THE blondie to sing to you!

You are most kind, dear Huntertitus.
As you are are aware, I am far too old to be capable of any flirtation, alas - but indeed, I am truly grateful for all the nice things you say. Thank you!
PS I was merely drifting into protective mode, you understand

You are never too old to flirt though one can get too old to carry things much further

Some of us find it is not so much the capacity as the opportunity that wanes with the passing years

Maybe it's because you are on that boat hoping to come across some pretty mermaids

Indeed! but though I have searched all my life, the only ones I have found - though exceptionally pulchritudinous upstairs, so to speak - are rather lacking in the basement.

There speaks a Latin scholar Pulchra, pulchra, pulchram, pulchrae, pulchrae, pulchra.
And what you said reminded me of a sort of opposite sentiment passed on by my father before he passed on. He said "You don't look at the mantelpiece when you poke the fire".

Ah one of the more useful father/son pieces of information.
The only advice my father passed on was "be yourself" before he died when I was 6 months old.
When I work out who I am, I will find out if that is good or bad advice.

It's a terrible thing to have no memories of a parent. I used to think I remembered my mother but later realised that it was a photograph I was remembering and not an actual memory.

Astonishing, isn't it??
What IS surprising is that you both have the same birth date!
