2025

 NZers will soon be waking up to a sunny first morning of 2025.

Perth West Australia will be clicking over to their new year in less than half an hour.

Poros Greece, we have almost 6 hours to go. Plenty of time to make a Vassilopita, New Years cake with lucky coin, bake a loaf of bread with another lucky coin and cook some bifteki. 

K needs a hearty meze, snack, with his wine so he can get through to midnight without going to sleep. 

I probably will go to sleep. New Year's eve no longer excites me. 

Poros Harbour this morning was sunny and bright. There was happy Christmas music warbling out from speakers along the front. Groups of young children banging triangles and singing the New Years Carol.

The shops were brightly decorated, people everywhere calling out

Happy New Year

And

Many years..many happy returns.

If you've got very green fingers you may even be able to keep it alive for a few months 

Our good luck Boska
