Enjoy your time with your family, Courtenay. :D

Other stories which encourage readers to be clean and tidy include 'The Village of Untidy', 'Sally Dumble's Trick' and 'I'll Do Them Tomorrow'.

Have a great time 'Down Under', Courtenay! :-D

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Enjoy Oz Courtenay. Forget the housework, it’ll still be there when you get back. :lol:

Thanks for your good wishes, everyone! Just at Heathrow now with a bit of time before boarding.

I'll wave to you if we do! :wink: But I'm going via Abu Dhabi, so I'm not sure if we'll go over India. More likely the Indian Ocean. (I will check the map while we're in flight.)

Which is why I did it before I left — so I WON'T have to face it when I get back! :lol:

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Enjoy your holiday, Courtenay. And, instead of thinking about housework watch this instead:

If you're heading to the eastern side of Australia, you'll fly right through India. (Probably very near my city too coz we're on the west coast) If it's more on the Western Australia side, then yes, you'll miss India completely. (I have no idea why I know this :lol: )
Also, the Abu Dhabi airport is the reason for all my sadness in life lol. No jk but I hate it.
