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!
