Now that Christmas Day is done my patience with staying at family is also done. It’s cumulative effect of many small things. It’s mostly the sleeping arrangements and the lack of sleep. We are leaving tomorrow, so I’ll try not to be too enthusiastic about that.

I caught myself looking at used Surface Go tablets on eBay. “Something something useful tablet but not iOS.” (a) it’ll be slow (b) an iPad would be better (c) I really don’t need it.

I did put in a bid for another surface keyboard, as it was only £15. I’ll keep doing that until a win a cheap one as a backup. Is this going against getting rid of stuff? Maybe it’s like having a spare bulb in the drawer for when the current one blows.

I hadn’t noticed but Brandon Sanderson just released his final book in the Stormlight series. I did like those books and I’ll read the last one but it’s been years since I last read one…the beginning of 2022 by my book list records. I don’t really want to re-read them as they’re very long and I’d rather read something new. I like them but I’m not obsessed by them! I’m sure I’ll start remembering things as I read it. Or perhaps look up a synopsis online.

I just finished a young adult series by Brandon Sanderson - Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians. It was light hearted, funny and a nice easy read in the evening before bed.

Keen to setup my daughter’s kobo….see if I need one 😅 and how the library loaning works and availability of books. Of course, I may have acquired books over the years from various sources but would be nice to have a convenient system.

I’d recommend Miyoo Minis to my uncle for the cousins - they’re in their 20s - and I really (still) want one. Although I have three Nintendo DS/3DS already which no one plays…

Note to self - these are all “buying things” actions.

I do need to sort out my clothes when we get home, so at least that’ll be something.
