How are you and yours today?

I fixed the sarcasm when I did the ironying.

Wait - where is the sarcasm in that? the 'oddly'? the 'no-one'? or one of the 'to's

Oddly, no-one wanted to go to fencing.

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."
