I’ve enjoyed talking to celebrities from my bed. Will I want to do it in person again? | Hadley Freeman

Some of the greatest experiences of my life happened when interviewing famous people face-to-face, but now I've discovered the joys of duvet working days

One of my favourite things about Britain is Boxing Day. In the US, we don't have a name for the day after Christmas, which is insane because it has such a distinctive feel to it, it so obviously deserves its own nomenclature. Moving here and discovering Boxing Day was like finding out there's a specific name for 7pm on a Sunday, or 5pm on a Friday, as there absolutely should be, and Germany probably has this covered.

This week, as regular readers know, is my favourite of the year, and not entirely because it's when, as Bridget Jones once put it, normal service is suspended and it's OK to lie in bed as long as you want, put anything into your mouth and drink alcohol whenever it should chance to pass your way, even in the mornings". It's also a time to take stock of how the year has gone, and how the next one will look. For a while, the future seemed unfathomable. Now that the vaccines are a-coming, that's not quite the case - but my job is still slightly lost in the fathoms.
