Dear Diary,
As our journey to Queensland is imminent we were invited to Thrushcock Grange for dinner with my family and took the opportunity to return Fanny's pussy for which we had no further use.
I cannot say whether Father's Todger leapt up due to the excitement of seeing me or because of the return of Fanny's Tuppence but I do wish it would exercise some restraint. I shall now have to launder my frock coat before our departure and time is pressing as it is!
