Just life

I have been thoroughly bad at keeping in touch with everybody so I guess no one knows what is up with me and what’s the point with a blog if I don’t give u some information about my life, other than my paranoia about invading robot aliens and such.

So we had a couple of rough months, as would be expected from any relationship. We had our honeymoon period and then came the storm. It was tough, hard, what ever, but we are over it and now life is wonderful again.

So. More?

I am still looking for work.

Have three options at the moment.

  1. Had a job interview with an NGO (Non Governmental Organisation) last week. They want a “fundraiser”, in other words a person who writes letters and calls rich people and foundations to beg for money for a good cause. Very well paid, sort of boring job but nice cause and part time. (I will tell you more about it if I get the job)

    Background:Since beginning of August I have been a trainee for another organisation, it’s cause is “workers rights”. Mainly immigrants, Arabs and low wage populations in the Israeli society. Well, anyway, this trainee job gave me the opportunity to apply to this other organisation. And I really hope I get it even though I have very little experience. So hold your thumbs, fingers and toes for me…

  2. Archaeology – a job close to the Old City of Jerusalem. Have been guaranteed a job as soon as I get my Israeli ID. (I need it so that I can be insured). This job, well… WOW… it was always my dream to be a female Indiana Jones. So even though it is hard work and minimum wage I really hope I will be able to start within a week or two.

  3. Nanny. Next door to us (right next door unfortunately) there is a day care centre for babies. My neighbour, a very nice girl who has just had a baby wants me to start working there so that I can keep an extra eye open for her baby. It would be easy, since babies don’t speak English and it is so close - I wake up at eight in the morning anyway from all the crying.

So that is the job situation.

Other than that, we are walking in the wonderful nature every day.
We had visitors from Sweden during the summer. My gorgeous sister for three weeks. And a favourite friend from University with his new girlfriend.
AND the first rain came!!! Amazing! Of course, I ran out in the middle of the night and danced with it.

The loved one is composing wonderful music, I am cooking delicious food, and fixing the house, painting and hammering and stuff.

We have friends over at least once a week. Lovely. And they all fall in love with our home. I must agree with them, it is the most lovable flat I’ve been in.

The only thing I am not doing is sewing.
Hmm… it breaks my heart. I really want to, but have a thousand excuses not to. I do crochet (Sv: ‘virka’) a lot though, in preparation for winter. Lots of hats and fingerless mittens. I hope the loved one will sell some at the Music Academy this winter.

I miss all of you and think about you every day:

My funky friends in San Fran; Treehouse friends where ever you may be (Germany, England, Scotland, Oz); my sweet soul in Germany (I miss you very much); the two wonderful artists who influenced and changed my life the most (New Zealand and Oz); my sister and best friends in Sweden; all my little friends; my sweetie darling whose heart is behind bars; all the fun people that I worked with; travelling friends; Uni mates; Ozzy family; Circus friends and all others.

As I've said before I wish I could all collect you on an island and live happily ever after.

I’ll tell you something you didn’t know about Israel…

This place is invaded by alien robots, people don’t take much notice of them since they have disguised them selves as fire hydrant.

But I know they are there.

Silent.

Still.

Secretly observing.
