Art-noon all,

I'm celebrating having finally finished the editing/proof reading project that consumed most of my time for the past month, so I'm feeling pretty relaxed at last.

The work wasn't hard as such, there was just so much of it. The project was for a website (or some such thing, my god I'm professional!) and involved correcting computer translated text, which led me to have to edit lines such as: "Over or under accepting machine textile them her not concluded in class, such as fins, carboniferous, cellulose not for men tiles and sanitary towels". I had to do this day after day, lots of fun.

I can't complain though, the money was pretty good, and it will look good on the C.V. when I try to get more work here. When in the office I was generally entertained by sitting next to Joel, a co-drinker in Ljubljana, so it didn't end up being too boring. I've done far worse in Britain (loaves of bread, conveyor belts, disgruntled Banburians - I won't go into detail), but I still have the mentality that I'm 'travelling', so work shouldn't come with any stress.

The work put pay to any adventures in October, so I've been fairly quiet socially. I've been trying to keep off the sauce for a bit anyway before the violation of my liver which the festive period is sure to unleash. It's starting to get cold here, so hopefully I'll be hurling myself down mountains in the near future, I got in really good shape boarding last winter, so the exercise will be welcome. I also started Aikido a couple of weeks back, but the classes are at inconvenient times, so I need to be more disciplined with that. Friday night is never the best time to build up a sweat and get chucked around.

The nights have drawn in and I'm starting to get excited about returning to the U.K. for a bit at Christmas. I know it's November, but it's been a long time since I saw everyone, so I'm getting a bit like a kid before Christmas. The Slovenes are more reserved about the festive period, so the decorations aren't up yet. Unlike the early September insanity of the shops in Britain in the gear up.

That's it really for now, I should get out and do some stuff, so I'll get another post up when I've actually done something! I hope everyone's well.

Hasta luego,

J
