Avrio is the Greek word for the same concept. They even take it a step further with "Metavrio" which is the day after.

With their Drecky the Cornish have taken it much further than that, it has a variable meaning from in a few days time, to beyond the foreseeable future.

I take it "Dreckly" is Cornish for "directly"?

I'm afraid it's not, it is as I posted above, a time period of an indefinite length. This causes problems when the non Cornish visit or move to Cornwall, or vice versa, as they think it means directly as you have said. When I moved from Cornwall to Maidenhead in 1979 I found that I quickly had to abandon Dreckly as the English could not understand the concept of an infinitely variable time period.:)

An example of this is a dialect conversation between a Cornish husband and wife. "Look maid I told'ee I'd do un dreckly, there's no need to remind me every three months."
 
Looking forward to it - with as much patience as I'm capable of!!!

But completely understand family matters - and matter much more!

A labrador walks into a pub, and takes a seat. He says to the barman, 'Can I have a pint of lager and a packet of crisps please'. The barman says, 'Wow, that's amazing! You should join the circus!'
The dog replies, 'Why? Do they need electricians?'
 
A guy walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “If I show you something amazing will you buy me a drink?” “ Sure”! says the bartender.
So, the guy gets a tiny piano out of his jacket pocket and places it on the bar. “Is that it?” says the bartender?
The guy reaches into his pocket and pulls out a little white mouse. “Play” he says. The mouse starts to play some wonderful tunes, melodic and soulful music.
The bartender is so impressed he immediately fetches the guy a double whiskey. The mouse is still playing.
“ Can I have another?” asks the guy. “No, sorry?” says the bartender.
“ what if I show you something amazing?”
“ What, more amazing than the mouse?” “ Yeah, ok, I’m a sucker sometimes “
The guy reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a parrot. “Sing” he says. The parrot starts to sing with the mouse playing the piano. Some wonderful songs in perfect pitch. A double whiskey turns up immediately!
So they both sit and watch the mouse playing the piano and the parrot singing along.
A customer in the bar approaches the guy and offers him £10,000.00 for the parrot. The guy says, “Yeah sure” the customer gets out the cash, pays the guy and disappears!
The bartender says “You must be crazy, that parrot was wonderful!”
“ No I’m not concerned, the mouse is a ventriloquist!”
