Next job is replacing the NBN NTD backup battery. These are designed to be user replaceable and it is easy to do. From what I’ve heard, the charging circuit in these is not good so the batteries don’t last as long as they should and I don’t think NBN supply the battery backup units by default anymore but they do keep the NTD powered for several hours if power is lost so it is worth replacing the battery.

Boxing Day morning spent fixing things around home. Washers replaced in 3 taps, the original ones had badly deteriorated so the taps would either not turn on or water would run very slowly. 
Sounds like a great Christmas Day and I’m sure the pork belly will be awesome!
Merry Christmas! It’s almost 37°C here right now, very hot!

This might be a useful tip for anyone trying to avoid seed oils and other ultra processed ingredients but still want to enjoy cheesecake once in a while - use shortbread biscuits for the base. I found it was easy to buy shortbread biscuits made with just flour, butter, sugar and salt, whereas most other manufactured biscuits seem to be made with vegetable oils and other artificial ingredients. The shortbread biscuit base held together well and tasted great.
It doesn’t exactly turn cheesecake into a health food but these types of ingredient swaps for better options are worthwhile and can often improve the taste. nostr:note1fyf5eyuqmfulu0axdvefucfgsy5etymy77l9cm6vpx0ajfym429sy5ntgd
GM and Merry Christmas! I hope you have a great day! 🎄🫂☕️
GM and Merry Christmas! I hope you have a great day however you will be spending it!
Yeah I’m sure there probably is one but I can’t think of any right now.
I’m sure Santa will love those cookies! Merry Christmas and I hope you have a great day!
I had someone tell me almost exactly the same thing a few days ago. I think here though we are used to the idea of many parts of the world having Christmas in winter as we see snow in almost every Christmas movie! I hope you have a great Christmas too!
You too Marie! I had guests for dinner last night but today have to travel across the city to see relatives. It’s going to be a busy day I think!
Good morning and Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎅🎁🫂
37°C here for Christmas Day today so getting out for a morning walk before it gets too hot! 
I didn’t get around to my meat post earlier but this seems like a good opportunity! 😂 Lamb tonight though rather than steak. 
Agreed! Santa would definitely prefer a steak! Enjoy your Christmas Eve!
Sounds like Vietnam needs #nostr
I have some family coming over for dinner tonight so made a ricotta cheesecake. First time trying this recipe, it is a little thin as I didn’t have the right size dish but otherwise seems to have worked out well and should taste good.
