Good Morning Wednesday, 24th December 2025 - It's Christmas Eve!

It’s Christmas Eve and it is warm.

I went for my walk early as usual and there were cars circling the Mall like rabid dogs at 6.30am.

Once I was home, showered and breakfasted I started to prepare to make my potato salad. First job was to get on my hands and knees to explore the back of the cupboard to find the large pyrex dish for transporting the finished product.

To cut a long story short this is the recipe I used

At the end it looked like potato salad which was the main thing. It is now resting in the fridge ready for tomorrow.

When I was boiling the potatoes I discovered that the large front burner wasn’t working properly it seems to be on full all the time. As the stove is over 40 years old I might not try to repair it but just buy a new stove top because I never use the oven except to store things.

The package from my son in Darwin was delivered, it took 10 days to get here, I will open it in the morning. I also received an email with my concession pass from National Parks and Wildlife Service so I can enter NSW national parks for free, it has to be renewed every year.

That is my morning so far, not a cloud in the sky though the forecast is for showers tomorrow.

Enjoy your Christmas Eve - have a lot of fun and don’t stress, it will soon be over. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: .

Take care…
