I assume 'today' was Friday? And I take it one of these cheques (I notice 
you spelt it the British/Australian way) was mine. I posted it on Wednesday 
30 July so it's a little worrying that it took 9 days (7 working days) to 
get there. BTW the Australian dollar has declined in value during the past 
two weeks and is now only worth about 90 cents US. (I'm not complaining. 
About 5 years ago it declined to below 50 cents US.)

BTW I remember learning the word 'check' in Kindergarten (my first year of 
school, 1962). The teacher told us that there was another 'check' ('cheque') 
but said that it was 'a very hard third class word'. She didn't elaborate 
but I knew that she meant the word for a type of money.
