I saw a movie, on Thursday.

Hopefully?

I’ll have the review finished, tonight!

A few weeks ago?

I put in a complaint to my landlords: about last year’s service charges.

I felt they were too high.

And asked that — if that were correct? — if I could be refunded.

I finally got a reply, yesterday.

Apparently?

The charges were correct, and covered pest control: so I’m not due a refund.

Hmmm …
