Must be New Year's Eve

It's New Year's Eve (how did that happen?) so I hope the f-list have a New Year that's better than the last. The weather has been fine but with chilly winds recently, so I'm wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt today.

Christmas was a quiet one spent with family. People gave me chocolate as gifts, I'm happy with that.

I've stopped watching The Expanse unfortunately; season 4 wasn't really holding my interest and then (more) body horror started happening. I might re-watch some season 3 episodes of Babylon 5, the woman who is doing v-logs of her first watch of the show on Youtube is getting more visibly excited as she gets into that season at the moment. It's always worth a re-watch anyway.

I was able to watch on TV recently a newish three-part adaption of 'A Christmas Carol' starring Guy Pierce as a younger, but still nasty Scrooge. Andy Serkis did a good job as the Ghost of Christmas Past who's determined to make Scrooge look at himself in the mirror, so to speak. It got a bit dark in places but I kept on watching, which is praise from me.



It's time for the Snowflake Challenge again in January and I'll take part; it will be a welcome antidote to what's going on out in the world right now.

Happy New Year to you. :-) I tried to sleep through the changeover but the bastards letting off fireworks in my neighbourhood put paid to that.

I must admit, I think I'm getting better with body horror (so long as it's on the small screen and I have the remote) and am still watching The Expanse and enjoying it.

I'm looking for distraction this year too, so hoorah for fandom in general.
