Here's the photo of the bread. I didn't slice the top, so the crust cracked, but oh, it was good!
Next time I'll make lighter dough if I'll bake it in the tin. Or I'll make flatbreads. All cust and no insides. Mmm-mmmm!

Yesterday's weigh-in didn't go so well. No, I hadn't gained more weight. I made a stupid mistake of eating before going. I know I lost more than 200g last week, but that's what the scales showed. Oh well, you learn from your mistakes. Right?
There are no new about any of the job applications I've sent out. More waiting.
last weekend I participated in a shoe workshop in Belfast. It was fun and I learned a lot. What a huge help it is to bounce ideas and discuss details with a person who knows their stuff! I took a few pictures of the process, but more details will be put on the Footwear page.

Tidbits.
I baked the rye bread and it was eaten up to the last crumb. Delicious. I forgot to take a pic before it dissappeared.
Went to the kingdom University and had a blast. Found out that there is a handweaver's shop in the Old Town that has lots of yarns, threads and roving for sale. Roving! Woot! I bought about a kilo and actually managed to fit it in my carry on luggage with some Regia sockyarns that I bought too. I'm sorta broke this month because of that trip.
Removed my braids because they were getting uncomfortable and really itchy. Today found out the itch was actually caused by the shampoo I was using. Also, I felt really weird having maroon/purple braids and medieval clothes. That combination simply didn't work. My own hair is half way down my back now and I might just keep it for a while as it is. Perhaps have it dyed professionally before Christmas.
I joined the Weight Watchers two weeks ago and weighed in at 85.5 kilos. Mind you, that's with clothes and shoes on. I lost 1 kilo during the first week (feast on Saturday) and 1.5 kilos last week (feast testing on Saturday). Not bad, not bad at all. I haven't gone to gym in months, but I'll get back to it. Someday...
I haven't been real good at counting the points, but the system has helped me to be more aware of what I'm eating and how much. Last week I didn't count any points, but just reduced portions drastically while choosing low fat, low calorie foods. That seems to work, so I'm going with that. I'll alter the system when it stops working.

It's been quite a while, hasnt it? Here are a few thoughts in no particular order.
Work situation has only marginally improved. I am applying for jobs in Sweden. Wish me luck! There is one particular job that I really really want, it is perfect for me and I fit their profile to a T. Hopefully they see that too and I can go back to Stockholm!
We didn't win the Viceroy tourney. We both were disappointed and relieved at the same time.
I have finished the gollar and am contemplating making drawers next.
Baked wholewheat herb focaccia today. Came out really well.
Have begun a sourdough rye starter. Again. I will make a real rye bread one day!
