Christmas ended up being mostly pretty quiet. After unwrapping presents (which on my part was a bit strange because I already knew what most things were, mum wasn’t able to get nay surprises causa everything) we took the pup her usual walk.

It was a nice day, if a little cold, though since it had been wet recently there was a man in a wheelchair that had gotten stuck. I tried my best to help but had no strength enough to move him. Thankfully mum saw a guy and went to get him and he moved it in like 10 seconds, making it look easy.

When I got back I basically snuggled and watched the Kylie gig while making Lego. First was a little BB-8 brick sketch which we got from the Lego site. It’s quite cute and looks nice. The Kylie gig was nice too, ami. Of Christmas songs and her own which is always good.

Food, for me, was a nut roast. I had a tear and share garland thing to have with it, but I didn’t even touch it since it was so filling. It’s still in the fridge so might have it tomorrow.

After noms I watched Early Man on BBC1 and built one of the other Lego sets, one of a Hedwig. It was quite tricky and intricate, mostly because it’s got a mechanism in it so her wings flap. It’s a nice display piece and she’s currently by the nightmare before Christmas tree.

With that finished I put on one of the films I got mum. I got her the Miss Marple boxset with Margaret Rutherford, which used to be on when we first got film 4. I’d been looking for them for awhile and decided to get them now. So we watched the first then and the second on boxing day. They are quite fun and entertaining and I bet we’ll watch the others this week too.

I dozed during the strictly countdown thing, but watched call the midwife which I usually don’t. It wasn’t as grim as the Christmas ones seem to be which was good. We watched a few other things which were fun, including the Miranda game thing which was funny.

I got pretty tired though, so went to bed a little after mum.

I did manage to nab some codes from twitter the past few days, Green Hell for the switch, Zodiac and Towaga on Xbox. I don’t know much about any of them really but shall look soon.

Boxing Day was pretty uneventful too, mostly spent watching stuff and building the other Lego setI got, which was the hogwarts clock tower, my first of the proper sets based on it. The stuff from the advent calendar goes with it which is nice but it’s a little odd in some ways. The main tower has three rooms, each of which are lacking in their own ways. The ground floor has an entranceway... but no door which feels odd. The next floor is Moody’s classroom, but there’s no Moody included (nor is he in any sets so far) and the top floor is meant to be the infirmary but there’s no nurse with it either. I guess it’s understandable since the focus is on the ball and all the figures are related to that, but those things still feel a little like glaring omissions.

Anyways.i finally started Valhalla last night, after Quiz of the year (and it seems the mystery of the monoliths is revealed, if that new Lexusad is anything to go by). I’ve completed the i first area, and got on the longboat into the sea (and gone to a nearby town. I will have to remember not to go into the water, since the cold is damaging (which will take some getting used to since Origins and Odyssey you could freely swim in it).

Today has been a pretty lazy day too. I meant to listen to the last bonus Magnus archives thing this morning but didn’t. Maybe tomorrow. I was gonna sort the gas card but the store was closed, even though the site said it was open. Ugh. I dunno why credit needs to be put on to make the rest show up but ah well.

We watched The Masked Singer today despite itv hub going odd and damn! I got the revealed person right! A first!

It’s almost the end of 2020 (thank fuck) and I’m gonna try and finish Julie and the phantoms, watch Soul, do Sims 4 and Valhalla and... I dunno.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas.
