Got fed up with bbc not showing the whole sessions for different sports at the Winter Olympics I want to watch so I’ve switched to discovery+ and paid for a month of it (£3.99 not bad!).
Already worth it ❄️🥇🥈🥉❄️

I was going to do a thread of books I’ve read this year and keep it updated as I’ve seen others do. But I never remember what films I watch. And then I might as well do TV and games too.
So now it’s my 2026 books, films, TV shows, and games thread!

I’m excited for the Winter Olympics starting this week. Feels like it’s taken ages to arrive.
Who else is watching? What are we all excited to watch and (re)become armchair experts at?

I’m going to attempt to crochet my first baby jumper.
My yarn has finally arrived (after customs hell!)🧶
First up the swatch… which gives me the gauge after blocking. But we do not block in this house (I’m coining this as my house motto). So. How do I tell what the gauge is like. Oh dear😅

My reading wrap up for 2025.
Some months I didn’t read any books so I’m a little surprised I reached the 52 book mark that I always set my challenge at to keep track.
No surprises about my genres 😂

Currently reading 💙📚
Nonfiction about all the shady stuff the company has done and all the products and drugs that they’ve sold knowing they’re dangerous and killing people for and continued to sell for decades etc.
Shockingly horrific and also strangely not shocking at all

I’m supposed to have a phone appointment with Doctor today.
Waiting for the call.
Currently they are 25 minutes late.
Last time they were over an hour late.
I’m definitely going to need to nap after this. Sigh. #pwme

Got some red shiny paint out for the noses. Otherwise it’s just black sharpie. (Although I sniffed too much and now my mouth feels all dry and tingly. Oops)

Re: the Smashwords sale, any recs for indie sf/f? Preferably either no romance, or queer romance but b-plot.

Cat WOULD NOT go into the study last night to be locked in (where she sleeps. She has multiple places in there). But she refused to be budged from her comfy sleep on the sofa. So I went to bed & texted parents good luck.
Found out she woke them up at 2.30am screaming & scratching at their door 🤣
