Thank you so much for the explanation, snugs. We have national holidays here, of course, but our typical annual vacation is two to three weeks.
My goodness 2 - 3 weeks that is amazing.
I would never cope with having to have at least a day off per month with dad for hospital appointments and then often another half day.
In fact I am well over half way through my holiday and we are only just under half way through the year.
