Finished with work for 2021. Thank goodness for that. I haven't spoken to a non-exhausted colleague for a couple of weeks, I think. Now packing, cleaning (kitchen is bomb site), booster on Sunday, recover on Monday, train on Tuesday, and then holiday. So still busier than it could do with being for the next few days, but other than the booster jab and train I can do an awful lot of it in my pyjamas if I want to. I may even make waffles for breakfast. This would be a complete waste of time and energy rations, but it would be nice. Porridge is also something I don't have often, and may be wiser.

I have been watching Netflix's Norwegian Christmas romcom series Hjem til Jul. Very light (what I need), rather predictable, but charming in its way, well-acted with a decent script for what it is, though it dissolved into glurge in the last 10 mins. There is a series 2, but my blood sugar needs 12 months off before that. More sex scenes than I had expected.

My parents, braver than I, watched A Castle for Christmas last night and reported it as genuinely so bad it's good, in that it was truly terrible but there was never a dull moment of boggling at it. This Guardian review of it by a Scottish castle-dwelling romantic novelist is funny, though.
