He has remained active on social media and seems to be loving it.Who wouldn't? Here are 2 articles covering his first few days about the ISS.

Science doesn't get any more exciting than this. You can follow Tim Peake on twitter to get more or less continuous news and updates @astro_timpeake
Christmas is almost upon us. I have had a fantastic year and will be back to reflect upon it.
