Reading:
I finally finished Outskirts by John Grindrod, which I really enjoyed but seemed to take me ages, so I could properly get into My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante.
Watching:
I've been enjoying watching Kirstie's Handmade Christmas and seeing if I can spot anyone I know from Instagram. It was particularly exciting to see Nikki McWilliams on it.
Cooking:
I've been perfecting my scrambled tofu - after trying it last year with the wrong kind of tofu, which came out very dry, I've been using silken tofu which works amazingly well! And I've been using up all the meat and fish from the freezer so I'm ready for Veganuary.
Doing:
I was very busy at the start of the month, going to two craft fairs in Dundee, the V&A, then home for my Couch to 5k run on the 1st, then the In Colourful Company social in Edinburgh on the 2nd, followed two days later by jury duty (luckily I wasn't chosen, was back in work by lunchtime, and didn't have to go back another day). I'd barely recovered from all that when the next weekend came around and I had a Christmas fayre and a pantomime and Italian meal all in one day!
I've also been to a 70th birthday party, and an end-of-term Indian meal, and been to various meetings for work and the charity shop. It was a very tiring month and I was glad when the Christmas holidays came and I could relax!
It's been hard to fit in my Couch to 5k runs now that they are a bit too tiring to do in a lunch break, and it's too dark after work, so I'm just doing one or two at the weekends. I am feeling that I'm making progress, though, and can run for 25 minutes and feel pretty good at the end of it!

Sounds like you've been very productive this month. I've been mostly making and publishing Blogmas and Christmas posts. Although it's been hard work, it's also been very fun. Hope you move into the next month and the new year as productively as you did this month!
