I’ve signed up to riverford organic. They deliver boxes with fruit and veg on a weekly basis. And with three pigs and i veg loving husband we go through a fair amount. I’m pleasantly suprised, it’s nice to see veg like veg should look, a bit soily and different shapes. :)

I’m sitting at the bar in Ozer just by my job and waiting for three lovely muff girls. Two’s flying in from stockholm and one from madrid. Sweet!

We’re having dinner quite late as they’ve just landed. I took the opportunity and went to the swimming pool and did 1k in the outdoor pool. It’s heated and it was lovely as it’s so cold in the air it feels like the water is really hot!

I know i’ll have to pay for it tomorrow though. Or already later tonight. I did half a k the other day and gosh did that wear me out. I don’t seem to realise how hard the Roaccutane is, i just haven’t got the same strength as i usually do. And the hip and back ache appear to get worse after a have exercised. During swimming it feels better, but afterwards it’s worse. Oh well, i’ve only got another 5 weeks and then i’m off it. Hopefully for good! Skin’s petty good at the moment, only two spots and some scarring which i can live with! :)

And i love my little pigs! :)

Semestern i Devon var verkligen toppen. Vi gjorde inte mycket alls utan tog det lugnt. Vi sov tills vi vaknade, at frukost lange, satt och pratade, gick pa promenader, spelade spel…

Devon ar valdigt likt Wales, fast finare hus och mysigare pa nagot satt.

Jag har en interview pa tisdag forresten. Skriver mer om det nar jag sitter vid en dator igen. (skriver det har fran mobilen)

We went out for a little drive along the coast in Exmoor national park and found some wild horses and goats.

… not Godot perhaps but a doner kebab. We’ve been to a spiritualist church with helena and have just got back to Ilfracombe. We got some very interesting messages from loved ones, food for thought, definitely.

We’ve just had breakfast and are now chilling on the sofa before going out for a stroll perhaps.

So far the holiday has been lovely and very relaxed.

Yesterday we went down to barnstaple for a spot of shopping. I finally bought a satnav and mark bought some tools for the africa-trip.

Not sure what we’re doing today. Might just play some monopoly.

…. forsvunnit fran jordens yta. Jag har bara fullt upp! :-) Goteborg, Paris, jobbansokningar, volontarjobb och sa mitt vanliga jobb, Mark och marsvinen uppepa det! :-)

Jag fick inte Team Assistant-jobbet, men det var nastan en lattnad. Jag ville egentligen inte ha jobbet, jag hade redan planer pa hur snabbt jag kunde avancera, men jag maste ju ha nat NU! Det ar bara knappt 12 veckor kvar av det har vicket och sen ar det slut! Jag soker som sagt jobb left right and centre, men an sa lange har jag inte hort nat. Alltsa varken ja, vi vill traffa dig eller nej, du ar inte uttagen. BBC tar god tid pa sig att rekrytera! :-)

Jag har sokt Project Assistant pa BBC Academy, vilket verkar jatteintressant. Jag har ocksa sokt PA to MD for Top Gear Magazine, men i och med att det ar ett sa coolt jobb betalar de skit. Och jag menar skit! Det ar samma lon som jag hade 8 ar sen, ca 7000 SEK mindre i manaden an jag har idag! Det later kanske hogfardigt, men jag vet inte om jag kan overleva pa sa lite. Det tacker just about min del av rakningarna och jag skulle inte ha nagra spending money for tex busskort, luncher och sant.

Jaja, vi far se. Jag kan inte gora mer an jag gor, soka allt jag ser! :-)

Pa lordag aker vi till Devon for att bo en vecka i Helena’s husvagn. (http://helenahippo.blogspot.com/) Ska bli saaaa skont att fa semester. Lata dagar med strandpromenader och langa pubkvallar star pa schemat.
