Nice weekend.

As all weekends have been here in England I have had a good time. I was in desperate need of a rest after that hard week in my new job. Yes, I have a new job. It's just a temporary job, but it's better than nothing and I really like it. I'm doing archiving and data input work for a clothing company. Maybe not the most exciting work in the world, but it's ok paid and with todays situation with all the resessions and large unemployment here in England I'm glad I just have a job.

Yesterday Mike and I was at a birthday party to a friend of Mike. Mike has this large group of friends that he has known since the school days, which is something I find very remarkable as I don't think many of you can say the same. So yesterday most of them were gathered with wives and children. I'm not the most social person in the world, so it's a new situation for me to go to big parties like that. I'm not quite sure if I like it or not. I think I prefer to be in smaller groups of people. But it was nice to get out and be dressed up. I love being all dressed up.

Today has been devoted to doing photo shoots, relaxing and watching football. Following Norwegian football online and watching English matches on TV. Mike is supporting a local club, Woking FC and I have been to a few of their matches. It's such great football, even far down in the divisions it such good play and amazing goals.
Doing photo shoots is always great, but I don't think many people realize how much work it really is to have a photo shoot, both for the model and for the photographer. Because you have to be really focused and keep poses for a long time to not lose that one special expression that can be the little detail that makes the difference between an average picture and a perfect shot. I'm not complaining at all. I love being in front of the camera and it's great fun. And looking through all the frames when done is so much fun.
Hope all of you have had a great weekend!!
