Our neighbour and erstwhile mysterious person Mr Fango was known from time to time to dabble in the creation of various substances that could be said to be potions of a magical nature.
We know this because one night my mate Jack and I were coming home from the movies and as we walked past his place, the aroma of a substance of magical propensities came wafting up our noses.
For a second or two Jack and I thought the other was exceptionally beautiful, but the notion thankfully passed quickly.
I told my mum who told me Mr Fango thought of himself as a wizard and the potion he was most famous for was a love potion.
Having told me I was fascinated until she told me she and dad had used the potion to rekindle their love life and that image was far too much for me to bear.
I did not want to hear anything as to the substance of my parent’s private life.

So first there was your teacher, Miss Teresa, and Now there’s your neighbor, Mr. Fango! Well done. And I agree that I would not want to hear about the substance of my parent’s private life, either.
Miss Teresa as you know has gone on leave after I imagine doing too much too often. I find it easier for me to tell these stories through a character, having a neighbour like Mr Fango helps a lot. There’s no telling what you word prompts may reveal.
Yes, Miss Teresa has taken a brief sabbatical. But Mr. Fango is still going strong.
Certainly a stayer not a sprinter.
Love Potion Number 9!
Could well be.
