Not a review of 2025
Jan. 4th, 2026 12:47 pmI haven't yet written my review of 2025, and realistically it's now not going to happen until my exams are over, but I shouldn't let that stop me posting completely. I am very much enjoying reading other people's reviews.
Christmas was lovely, although I'm sure you'll all be shocked to learn that I overcatered.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
robert_jones was away with his bio family this year, so we were just five - me, obandsoller, and my UK-based sister and niblings. The main change from previous year's catering when we've had one fewer tiny person and four more adults was to roast a duck rather than a goose, but I largely failed to adjust anything else, so the leftovers lasted a while...
This was kind of fortuitous in a way, because sadly I came down with a rotten cold on Boxing Day, and it was good having a lot of tasty low-effort food around. I have somewhat mixed feelings about the timing of this cold, because on the one hand it meant that I could just rest without having to try and power through it as I might have done during term time, but on the other hand it meant I was feeling quite anti-social for too much of my limited time in the same country as Ramesh.
It also meant that I didn't do the little bit of work I needed to get back on track whilst in the UK, and have also been struggling to get back into the swing of things since I returned to Belgium, so am now feeling quite behind. It should definitely still be possible to catch up, but I really need to knuckle down.
