Well, other than the broken water line and the falling reptiles, it wasn’t the worst Christmas I’ve ever had 😉

I have most of what I want on this new box, so I can use it to deal with the Internet. Win 10 takes some getting used to and too much time was wasted on constant updates, but it has more RAM and a faster CPU than the machine it replaced.

I hope you are enjoying the Boxing Day events. You have fewer restrictions than are required for Florida [even if our governor wants us to believe there is no danger from COVID here]. We will be hovering around 0°C tonight, which is warmer than last night, so ‘chilling’ is not a problem 😸

Trump’s future is not very rosy, which is what Karma is all about.

I hope you are both enjoying your Xmas day and relaxing. I did enjoy mine. Too much food and… maybe a little too much Scotch! I treated myself to my favorite Glenmorangie 18 YO. Couldn’t have done it without our tight-arsed Fed. Gov’s C19 supplement. They halved it in Oct & it was going to end Jan 1st, but they were forced to extend it to March, though there is no guarantee (or that they will not reduce it again). 🤷‍♂️😒 I had to wean myself off the antidepressants for 6 weeks so I could enjoy it! Best sleep I’ve had in years! I think I’ll dump the AD’s and stick to Scotch! 🤔😏 Grandpa had one scotch every night before bed. He swore by it, and he lost a lung in WW1 & a leg in WW2. lived to 92. It worked for him… 😎

The smoked Turkey drumsticks were good & I didn’t have to cook them (or anything actually, which was the plan!) The Coleslaw turned out better than expected as I couldn’t really remember the proper amounts. been years since I made it. But it turned out well. Just had some more with some good Pickled onions & marinated olives & cheese I like.

Trump is an immoral psychopath. So the pardons were always going to happen. Maybe he made a deal with them to break him out of prison? 🙄👿

Personally… I think he’s a “dead man walking”. Once he’s a former POTUS he’s screwed in so many ways.

Anyway… Honestly, that’s a 2021 thing for you. Just chill & have some good food, booze & fun! 👍👋

Trump owes too much money to be cleared for housekeeping at a Federal installation.

ok, NOW my christmas is complete, thank you! and warm wishes to you for the holiday 🙂

Your coleslaw sounds like the start of a kimchi pot. It’s spicier than what we make on the Gulf Coast.

Photo ops aren’t as bad as handing out pardons to war criminals while executing more prisoners than was done by the Federal government in the thirty years before he elected.

I have a back-up cell phone that I bought on sale at my carrier. It’s a Motorola android that actually has a bigger screen that my iPhone. It doesn’t have the memory or processor capabilities of my SE, but will tide me over while I gather the money for a new one.

It’s 2020 💩

A pack of two smoked drumsticks @ AU$10 / kg (Cost me $19.40)
A Pack of six uncooked Turkey wings @ AU$8 / kg (from 1.5 to 2 kg)
A pack of six uncooked Turkey Rissoles @ AU16.25 / kg (400g pack for $6.50)
Raw Turkey mince @ AU$20.00 / kg (500 g pack for $10)
A whole uncooked Turkey @ AU$28 / kg (sizes from 4.4 to 5.6 kg)

So, drumsticks it was! 😉 😀

As with sane Americans & trump, we’ve all given up expecting anything other than staged and stupid photo op’s from Scummo!

My Mobile phone has been dying the past few months. The display has been separating from the case. Took it to a local phone repair shop, he checked and found that a spare display is not sold separately as it has contacts along the top & bottom edges and is attached to the main board in manufacturing. So… Another new mobile. but I’m in no hurry. I just redirected the number to my landline. Just means I can’t get SMS or calls when I’m out, which I rarely am these days. 🤷‍♂️😒

I just finished making an old family Coleslaw. Uses red cabbage (it’s damned purple!) beetroot, ginger & various spices & marinated. 😀

I stripped what was useable for me and will drop the rest off at the county (shire) recycling drop off (tip). The DVD RW drive should be useable, but someone will melt the board for the gold.

If Scomo was actually somewhere that required a vest, it would have also required a helmet and wearing something other than a bright white shirt. If pols want to play in the dirt, they should learn how to dress. Otherwise just use Zoom and save money.

You should have gone for turkey thighs as there is more meat and no tendons, but the seafood sounds good. Enjoy your Christmas 🎄

and smoked turkey drumsticks are great, but they taste better if you get them at the local interstate fair, where they are sold as dinosaur legs. 😈

Good luck Hipparchia! I hope you get it sooner, than later. And you Bryan with your RP400. 👍😊

Here… Have a laugh at our PM (a few weeks ago, an AU veteran on T said that the *polite* Military phonetic code for PM was “Pig’s Manure”.) It wasn’t when I served, and I never knew any of my serving mates being polite about it! Anyway… Here’s the latest photo op and comments for your amusement.

I got my grocery delivery today for my self-Xmas treat. Mostly seafood with a couple of smoked turkey drumsticks. Unfortunately, as I pretty much expected, they were out of stock of several things I wanted, so I also ordered alternatives just in case. I got a half a lobster & the drumsticks, but no large tiger prawns or crab. I ordered the tinned alternatives, which they had. Not as good, but it will do for a seafood salad. 🤷‍♂️
