I was at a musical recently, in the third row. Seeing the actor I love up close like that made me feel more smitten with him than ever.

More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations.

Recently, what with this and that, I haven't been able to sing so today I sang like there's no tomorrow!
George was describing a 30 pound bass he'd caught recently after fighting it for three hours.
I went to the dentist recently and he did a cast of my teeth and took an X-ray, 'just in case.' It sounds like a good business to be in.

Recently I've stopped being afraid of "living in shame" and being exposed to "public ridicule".

Recently I attended the wedding of a Chinese friend. The bride and groom had been classmates at university, and both graduated from the Chinese faculty. They've already been together for five years.
Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired.
Actually, and I need to keep this quiet, but recently here there's a rumour that young women on this beach are having photos taken in secret of them.
