Norseman -> Border Village
On the road at 08:00 again. Fine with less cloud. 9C at departure but it warmed up into the mid 20s during the day.
Grabbed second breakfast at Balladonia and drove through to Cocklebiddy for lunch and a fuel stop. Yesterday I was having to pee about every hour and today it was my gut that decided to spend the day gurgling, bubbling and carrying on. I made a couple of stops one to quieten the trouble maker and another for a short revival rest. Arrived in Eucla at around 16:45 for more fuel and a piece of Frittata and a cup of #Trifle for dinner. Then onwards for 12 Km to Border village and my motel room.
Today I saw water in a claypan the I had always seen as dry in nearly 50 years of going back and forth. Also saw a couple of Black Shouldered Kites (but no wedgies), two cyclists and a runner.
I should process photos and the timelapse videos but I am just too bushed by the time I arrive.

@azrhyga Indeed - just hope he can get the right people to make the changes, otherwise Twitter will be wobblier than a trifle on a trampoline

This just in. It’s a 12 from the Irish judge.

Despite only being early evening, I appear to be the only one in the house who's awake.

I've got a pie cooking in the oven, and we're supposed to be having this Raspberry+Vodka #trifle for desert.

Do I wake them, or later claim a rabid animal broke in and made off with the lot?

We have friends over for dinner tonight, so it's time for one of the remaining Christmas traditions in our house.

Christmas Pudding Trifle. It tastes every bit as good as it looks.

So due to the way our festive gatherings have worked out this year we needed two trifles 😆 - so today's #trifle will be #tiramisu

This year's Christmas trifle - peach, raspberry and almond #trifle #ChristmasBaking

Ooh, I could have used #trifle here!

Don't just have #leftover #trifle for breakfast - use the trifle as a topping on your muesli. Better living everyone. #ChristmasFood #BoxingDay #leftovers #lifeHack

The yearly tradition of using my late grandmother’s 80 year old trifle bowl. #ChristmasTradition #Trifle #Grandmothers #Christmas

Pretty happy with this, especially in my lovely new trifle bowl! #trifle

#Trifle time!

For many years (decades really) I’ve always thought trifle was crap, because the cake was always soggy. But I’ve literally just learned that it’s part of the trifle recipe to make the cake soggy, (brandy, boiled jam, other). So, should the cake in trifle be soggy?

And the grand finale of family food traditions: the chocolate trifle. Adapted from my aunt’s 20th century version by halving the sugar and doubling the cocoa (works wonders for all old NZ ‘chocolate’ baking recipes, btw). She hasn’t been well this year so thinking of her. #trifle #ChristmasFood

And we are done! Obviously I shouldn’t have filled the bowl as fully as I did, and the ingredients are poking out the top. If it’s not chaotic, is it really #Trifle? Is it even really Christmas?

Anyway, cover the top with custard and gently shake to get everything to settle. Custard will diffuse down and fill gaps. Enjoy!!

We’re back at it! When we left our heroes, Unset Jelly Man and brave Cake Batter Cat, they were unprepared for today’s ordeal, but they are back and ready for action!

The cakes are cut into cubes and there’s some cake, jelly and peaches sitting in the bowl. The cake needs to be moistened a little, not too much, so a slightly drier cake is preferred. For adults, use some port. The port I’m using has a picture of a wombat! Separately I’ll make the kids version, moistened with the leftover peach juice. Build your trifle in layers.

I have begun the trifle. Which made me wonder... #poll #trifle
