Good morning

Good morning, members, and welcome to Wednesday! How's everyone feeling this morning? I (Vella) hope the world's treating you like the treasures you are. Speaking of treasures, I feel like one because I'm currently on holiday. Can you guess where I'm travelling to? I've left a few hints here, and I’m eager to see if you can crack the code.

Yesterday's Australia

Washing dishes without fancy dishwashers

Image source: Facebook/Memory Lane - Growing up in Australia

Remember the good ol' days of washing dishes without fancy racks or dishwashers? Those were when an upside-down cup was used to lean the plates on, referred to as the ‘Lena’. It was all about teamwork, with one in charge of washing and the other drying, all while having the best conversations next to a sink full of dishes. Do you remember doing this with your mum or siblings?
