Tomorrow I am leaving the safety and homeliness of the cold kitchen and venturing in the world of the meat station.

Greetings from my bed.
Long time, no write! One is ever so sorry.
Anyway, today I shall have plenty of time to write, as I'm home ill. I had a fever last night so I'm taking the day off to get better, so hopefully I'll be ready for work again tomorrow. Or at least for the weekend, because that's when my Mum is coming! Hooray!
Moira came over a couple of weeks ago, and that was a lot of fun! We did some funky things, we went up the funicular for some fantastic views of Bilbao, admired the Guggenheim from the outside, and went to Plentzia to the seaside :) My birthday went really well; Moira, the other Finns and I gorged ourselves on homemade sushi and it was glorious.
Work is still going very well, I've been working mostly in the cold kitchen so far, and have really got the hang of it there. I can plate almost all of the dishes there and I'm beginning to know a lot of the recipes by heart as well. The one thing I get to do every week is make the brownies for the petit fours. I get to choose what flavour I make them as well. Last week I made a white chocolate and lime one, and that was a smash. This week I made a dark chocolate and ginger one, which they all seemed a bit weary about. Hey, it's better than seaweed meringue.
The weather here is cray cray. We've had days where it's 22degrees, sunny and you're outside in a t-shirt, and then less than a week later snow is covering the ground. Now what is this?????? Snow was one reason I was so elated to leave Finland! One Saturday I got to work to find it looked like this:
Obviously not work, the view from my room FML
I'm home alone at the moment as Ana went to Senegal on a work trip, and we still don't know when she's coming back! Kind of nice being all alone. At least she doesn't have to witness me wallowing in my ill state. A couple of Sundays ago, I came home and found that Ana had made me this little tasty beauty:
I have been somewhat productive today! I sent a few job applications, which is something I hate doing. Nothing worse than trying to sell yourself when you'tr burrowed underneath blankets feeling like poop. Anyway, now I am going to nap and then watch Pretty Little Liars because even though that show is ridiculous I cannot stop watching it.
