Iβm staying at home solo today as well. Going to busy myself with a coffee and a Devon toasted sandwich then later on Iβm going to figure out how to cook the lamb I bought and if I should maybe cut it up in half and cook over several days instead.

Ended up treating myself to a big indian feast from punjabi curry cafe for dinner. It is most definitely hitting the spot
Decided to cut up the lamb and cook the portion I cut off.
So easy in the airfryer and flipped midway.
Was so delicious!
How good are sandwiches made with leftover Christmas lunch meat for supper? I'll answer that. Bloody delightful.
Ooh. Found The Hogfather on Prime video. My favourite Christmas watch

My online friends are busy... sigh. I do have things to entertain myself with if only I had the motivation. Things are feeling a bit stale.
One thing I don't like about this time of year is the way it's so all or nothing. Dealing with overstimulating crowds or very isolated. Lots of shopping and then everything shut. Lots of spending and then things are tight. Heaps of food and then diets. A frantic rush vs inactivity. I feel like there should be smaller more frequent holidays broken up through the year so everything isn't thrown so out of whack at the end. (I'm not even Christian.) That might force them to be shorter though and make it hard for people to get together.
Having hot tea with my dressing gown over pjs. Trying to decide if rewatching Buffy will hold my interest.
Having grown up overseas I definitely see what you mean about it being all or nothing in places like Australia. I liked how it was where I grew up, none of the public holidays had the same stop-the-country effect so you could easily enjoy them alone or with others.
It's Amends type weather, I say go for Buffy!
Now that you mention it itβs much the same. Itβs either dead quiet or super busy, thereβs no happy medium of feels like and probably why I feel overwhelmed when Iβm not in the mood to be trapped inside with an entire family who is loud.
