Nooooo! Last day of the holiday today. At least we have a few more hours of sun before we have to go to the airport. Haven't worn make-up for 9 days and havent brushed my hair for 4. Not looking forward to start again but think that not brushing my hair may be frowned upon at the office.

Think it's time to go though consider how many Germans Alex has managed to aggravate during our short stay. Just this morning he was happily singing (and clapping) 'there were 9 German bombers in the aaaair' ... 'then the RAF came and shot one dooooown' at breakfast. Imagine a 'neutral' Swede in that situation.... Can't even handle it. It's like having a child with me at all times...

This is me saying bye to Buddha.

Morning gang! The weather isn't super this morning, so we're going to the gym and spa after breakfast. Turkish bath here we come!

While I'm writing this Alex is having a staring contest with one of the hotel cats (who I MIGHT have fed some ham while Alex looked away...). Alex just grabbed a chair and chased him off, waving his fist as he walks back towards me "sometimes someone needs to make a STATEMENT!"

"Well done darling! You tell that cat!"

I just don't understand men.

Asked Alex to take a picture. He laughed and said this is one of those moments when it's very obvious that me and Emma are sisters. I have no idea what he's talking about.

Here you go gang! Me looking natural at the beach, where Alex just happened to catch me on camera. In the moment, so to speak.

Right. So I'm a bit late commenting on this but it needs to be done.

I started reading 50 shades a few months ago but had to take a break because I got angry and uncomfortable reading about how Christian treats Anastasia.

I need to finish the other 2 in order to give a proper verdict, anything else would be unfair. But ladies (and gentlemen!) in the meantime - what do you seriously think about these books? So far I feel like I've been sent back to the stoneage. Frankly, i feel disappointed. While I collect my thoughts, please comment below (click 'kommentera').

Hello Turkey!

I need to get new sheets. The same sheets as they have here. I've actually SLEPT throughout the night. Alex thinks I'm a freak since in refusing to move. I'm making him get me cocktails regularly. If it wasn't for the fact that there are people around I'd probably make him turn me over in my sunbed too. I never wanna leave this amazing place.

E-mailed my colleague about one of my cases. Was told to switch off my phone and head. Will do. But it takes time!

... Before holidaytiiiime! You know it's time for a break when you come in to work, thinking you look relatively fresh, and 3 of your colleagues look at you in horror asking if you're ill. Not cool!

Read recently in a good book called "career advice for ambitious women" that you should invest in a good concealer so you can look as fresh faced at 7 pm as 9 pm, so i did.Now, what do you do if you still look like crap at 9am? Somehow I never quite feel like I'm "glowing." Do you glow in the morning? If you do, please tell me which concealer you use. The book's suggestion is making me feel inadequate. I want to glow like the people in the book.

Just had a negotiation with an opponent.

"Miss Dahlqvist, if you talk to your people I believe something can be agreed."

"Great! In the meantime, will you talk to your people Mr X?"

(Chuckles) "Miss Dahlqvist, that won't be necessary. I AM my people."

Allriiiight big dog!

Hello gang! Today's gonna be one of those looooong days. Started working at 6.30 this morning, got the train to Eastbourne at 8.50. Our new Advocate Felicity is shadowing me today, it's fun to have a partner in crime for the long train journey! Unfortunately I've had to break her happy bubble. Apparently someone suggested that she'll have time to go surfing when she's going to hearings in southern England. Nooot goonna haaappeeen lol I think the extreme lack of glamour this job brings is starting to hit haha! Especially as she's just realised we won't before 9 and she'll meet my colleague at 7 am tomorrow morning to go to Birmingham...

Having a nice little salad before my court hearing. Have realised that I inevitably get slightly nauseous before I go in so minimise the risk of... Ehm... Accidents. Keeping it classy gang, keeping it classy!

Alex and I decided to beat the Sundaynight blues with a spontaneous date night. Pizza followed by Skyfall. By the way, can I just point out that Alex and I have now been together for over two years and this was our first cinema trip ever! I think Alex realised why when I was clinging onto his arm and shouted into his ear.

Dad has reviewed the Bond girl for those guys out there who are interested: ' she's hot, but your mum's still hotter. Im surprised she's never been a Bondgirl!' right dad.

Ps. Bond doing pull-ups. Those of you who've seen the film know what I mean. Now that's Sunday entertainment!

It's rare that all the components for the perfect weekend come together during the same one. These pictures say it all.

Sometimes I have moments when I realise that I have turned into my mum. The latest example is this Saturday when I was so obsessed with having coffee in the sun that I dragged a kitchen chair into the garden and forced the McCutcheon siblings to follow. (It didn't quite work out as I planned; first they took pictures of me from the window, then they came out and stood around me and didn't at all understand what was so amazing.) Considering that it's the first spring in years that I'm not trapped in a London apartment I'm gonna make the most of it. Funnily enough when I called my mum later on she said that her and dad had their afternoon coffee in the forest, even though it's 0 degrees at home. "It's sunny and it's lovely with fresh air! People don't understand what lovely moments they miss hiding in their livingrooms." Maybe it's a Swedish thing. Maybe it's a Mummy Eva thing.

While Alex is at his grandma's putting up some shelves I told him that I have to work on some stuff. Really I'm making the most of my night off by having coffee, sweets and watching lots of episodes of Sex and the City.

There are so many SATC quotes that are completely spot-on. Here are two of my favourites.

"Honey, these bitches need to be put in their places."

"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they can find someone just as wild to run with."
