Sadly, that should be "said" :-(

That's very sad: we lost contact a few years ago, and I had wondered
every now and then...

Stray pheasants wander into my garden where I grow ja,
but I am sure it is coincidence

Am I missing a joke ? Where and why did he say that ?

They do lend themselves well to jokes.

The thing was, as I remember it anyhow, that at one stage he lived in
