Ah, yes!


Urgently, she dashed up the stairs and burst through the door into the bedroom.

The bed was made neatly, clothes put away in the wardrobes. The window was closed. The room, empty.

She wore her slippers, wondering why she urgently needed to visit this room.

Then, her memory tipped the balance on her mental scales… she’d dashed upstairs to use the loo; ah, yes!

    Surprisingly, Tom, the loo is where we often are inspired, struck by ingenious ideas or even better, insuring the person who was supposed to pick us up 15 minutes ago, shows up ringing the doorbell just as we sit down πŸ˜†πŸ€£

          No neighbour’s windows, and them below probably wouldn’t notice anything anyway 🀭
