I'm still looking for work. I have an interview this week on Tuesday for two positions. They explicitly state on the application that native English speakers are preferred. I'm currently researching for both roles and have my fingers crossed that the interview will go well. I'd like you all to join me in crossing your own fingers too.
I'm also in discussion with three different organisations about freelance work, am continuing to meet people in the publishing and education business in Oslo and have thrown what limited support I have to offer behind a project to launch a Children's Literature and Storytelling centre, planned for the heart of Oslo.
The other thing I've been able to do, for the first time in 8 years, is play Rugby. I've joined ORK (Oslo Rugby Klubb) for training twice and for their match last Saturday, which they won. The picture of the winning side is above.
They were very kind and let me into the picture even though I was only actually on the field for less than a minute while the second row got a blood wound seen too. During that time I spectacularly failed to make an impact, unless you count knocking the ball forward almost immediately as making an impact.
To be honest I was relieved to be off the pitch. I need some more training to condition my body and remind me how to tackle properly. Otherwise I'm likely to get injured. The problem with me getting injured, or ill, at the moment is that I'm currently between medical insurance schemes and can't afford treatment. The UK kick you out of the National Insurance system if you say you're moving abroad. Norway won't let you in theirs until you have a job. (See above re: keeping your fingers crossed).
Two people were knocked out, one broke a rib and there were plenty of sprains and bruises. I'm going to stick to training for now.

You need to clench your fists when you go into a tackle, otherwise you might break a finger.
