	Naughty Cynths !! Bet you can hear 'my' cough from there ??? - My poor neighbour a few months ago when I was not well, heard me coughing from my office upstairs as I had the window open. She went running to my husband who was gardening at the front, thinking I was choking to death !! Such a lovely neighbour !!! - I was SO sorry to have worried her! Dea x

	Anyone up for a bit of 'frivolity ' then ?? I was speaking to my grand-daughter the other day and for some reason we got into 'toilet water' (If, you remember, a diluted perfume of some sort), - Anyway, she was hysterical thinking we were using water 'from the toilet' !!! Is there any such thing as 'toilet water' nowadays?? Dea x
