Stranger Things final season and final episode - so much goodness. The cast, the lines, the Easter eggs, and, of course, the soundtrack. Just everything. It’s everything!

Gorgeous day in Ngāmotu today. I fully embraced twixmas, and now it's time to start packing away Christmas, and to rearrange the garage. Hope you all have a fab day.

Gotta love Xero for being the first company to send a bill in 2026! No love, just an invoice. 😠

There's something about being on actual holiday, rather than just having a few days off. Especially when there are no work emails, and nothing to feel bad about neglecting. I'm just enjoying pottering around the house, making up my schedule as I go.

Last few days of '25, & I'm prepping myself for '26 <insert a bunch of buzz words - mindfulness etc.> but mostly I want to find more 'mind time', e.g. time to calm my mind when it needs it, time to feed my mind with nutritionally dense content, & time to let it wander off on its own (on purpose!) ;)

Another lazy day, especially since it's wet outside. I've been watching movies, and organising some digital files, and also written a To Do list to organise my last few days of 2025, so I can wake up on the 1st feeling like I have a plan for 2026, even if that feeling only lasts for the day ;)

I've had a quiet & relaxing Christmas Day. This morning I took some time to think of friends & family who have a newly empty chair at the table this year. Sadly, there are a lot. We had a lovely lunch with whānau, & my meringue wreath turned out fab (forgot a pic). Now it's Die Hard time.

I accidentally Whamageddoned myself with my Christmas mix because the only place playing Christmas music today was my car! Absolutely no stores I have shopped in for gifts have had Christmas music. What's up with that?

There is something very magical about darkness lit with fairy lights. Witchmas if my favourite time of the year.

I’ve decided what one of my 2026 goals will be.
Write a heartfelt, handwritten, letter to someone I used to write to - before we all got too busy.

I'm watching a show that is trying to date an event using music. The event occurred in '93 but my brain can't comprehend the songs are 30+ years old.

End of an era. After 25+ years of being a Sky subscriber I have finally cancelled. I really am a big fan of Sky, and having the box to record things, not having to log in, and lots of variety, but they really only care about money and not their customers so it's time to say buh bye.

That's me, belatedly, up-to-date with Downton Abbey, in time for the movie. What should my next 'lounge' TV show be?
In the bedroom I have finished House of Guinness, and cannot wait for Season 2! Now I'm watching Monster - Ed Gein, and I Fought The Law with Sheridan Smith.
