We Have Daleks in Australia!

Hi Muse,

Maybe you remember staying at daughter Rachel's place in San Diego.

We have never been south of the equator,  taking off for springtime in New
Zealand next Sunday.  Do the toilets really flush counter clockwise  ? ? ?

Cheers,  oHIo wHIt

And you're not going to come and visit us here in Australia?  For shame!  :)

Here are just three of the many answers to the water rotation question:
