Loving or hating London:
I love London...........In the Rain .............(cant remember who wrote this masterpiece, but anyway, its from a hotel costes CD and Its just luuuvely) - and its true, altho its in fact NOT raining........
General Update on my mood so far:
OK boys and girlies. IG is here and its been almost 6 days since I ditched the kingdom of denmark - and flew over to join the UK troops. No tears yet.......amazing! Not even when I waved goodbye in the airport. Maybe because this was SOOOOOO needed for my well-being! I need to be able to breathe (smog) in the city of London, where people actually have words like binge-drinking, trance, progressive, house and whitewine shenanigans in their vocabulary
Shopping and grooming (and a bit of male talk)
Ok, all sorted - and got myself a LUUUUVELY new male hairdresser with a name, I cant remember
something with J (nevermind, IG f*** sake) - who works in the Covent Garden "Toni & Guy". Had myself a nice fringe done, only 5 Pounds. My money seems to be jumping out of my hands, EVERYWHERE I GO!! I spend 60 Pounds on a must-have skirt the other day, when my sister and her friend came over - and also got a nice black top in Zarah on Oxford. Today I resisted temptation, when a rather cute italian salesman in Harrods was about to sell me the most AMAZING pair of wedges from Kurt Geiger. I told him I´d go home to sleep on it (NO not sleep with HIM), but now i really regret not getting it... (the shoes, that is! ehm....). - they were "only" like 99 pounds........
My daily coffee intake at Café Nero is taking its toll on the spendings as well. a good round 5´er a day gets spent on coffee. And I' m soooorta stiiiiill trying to figure out why im shaking when it's around 4 in the afternoon, lol* 
Being a Dane in UK this week:
Anyway:bankman and hairdresser both wanted to know what it was like to be a Dane these days, knowing my country caused massive reasctions all over the world with the infamous 12 cartoons of the islamic prophet. Whoa tough question to ask, because you wanna back up your country but cant deny we kinda stepped on many peoples feelings and toes. my respons is and will be for the future:; well i didnt get near that drawing pen so dont ask me!
Eavesdropping on peoples conversation about the topic has proven to be very interesting also, these last few days.
Jobsituation;
Been applying onling for a BA cabin crew temp. position. And a lot of office jobs. Looks like some temp offices might be able to get me a job, whatever....but WHOA is it hard to get a PG AND A NI number here...yes, yes i know...ive been complaining about this for a looooooooong time. but its TRUE!I love your taxsystem by the way! 22 % ha! I normally pay 55 % so thats like giving me money straight in my hands! Yes please.......
Clubbing-going-out-status (and some more on the male situation)
Went to Bar Soho the other night, met this incredibly handsome bloke- Robert, dark hair, maybe 6" tall....handsome as helll!!!!! I didnt get his phonenumber, because after half an hour of flirting, I told him I was leaving and that I´d be back. I never made it back, so there I was at home the next day - MORTIFIED!!! argh, if anyone knows a dark haired robert, with dreamy brown eyes that went to bar sohoFriday - let me know im looking for him!
So far, this London thing is great fun. Hope to meet you all very soon!
Take care!

It took me a few months to get used to London when I first moved here but now I wouldn't live anywhere else, there's so many things that you end up taking for granted cos the city really does offer everything you could ever want and more. See you soon for a welcome-to-London spritzer 
I was half on the phone with a client when I wrote that and just read it back...how seedy does that sound?
