Wonderful evening with H.E.A.T family

H.E.A.T

Yesterday we had a H.E.A.T family summerparty at Pär och Brita's house. They had layed a long table in their garden beside the pool. The stage was rigged with instruments which was promising.

The weather couldn't have been better. Earlier in the day we had heavy rains but in time for the event the sun was shining from a clearblue sky and as you know in Sweden during summer it's light almost 24/7. We had a welcome drink and then we paired up in teams of two for a quiz with questions that involved each family's interest or work. Very hard actually and not at all that easy that you would have thought :-)

After that we were invited to take food which was a delicious buffet with lots of good dishes. After that it was time for the coffe and several homemade cookies and cakes :-) Brita had baked them all! Delicious.

Then the exciting result of the quiz. No, we didn't win, I was teamed up with Erik G's Dad Stellan, but we fought well :-) I forgot to tell that in order to finalize the quiz you needed to count some buttons that was placed on the bottom of the pool. Some daring, men, jumped in and counted them but we didn't. We were pretty close anyway.

Then the stage was taken by different constellations and with fathers and sons and brothers. Very funny and everyone is so gifted. I was blown away by H.E.A.T performance of Run to the hills. And I love the older rocksongs that all of them performed. As usual I have a hard time sitting still so I stood by the stage singing along and dancing. Something I have to pay for afterwards :-( I really can't do that because I get so much pain but in the moment I don't feel the aches.

By midnight we all started to get home. It was still quite light a little like when the morning breaks. This time of the year is wonderful in Sweden. If you haven't been here before you should go in June-July.

So thanks everyone in H.E.A.T family and especially Brita and Pär for a wonderful evening :-) Saturday H.E.A.T are off to England for Download festival and then to Germany to two festivals. Hopefully we will see them in Sweden soon so we all can join and meet :-) Good luck guys in conqering the world!

Tomorrow we are off to Gavle where Oscar (one of our grandchildren) will graduate.

And today I have summerlunch with my work :-)

Take care everyone and have a great weekend!

Magic numbers 111111. Think about it - it's 100 years til next time and then none of us will be here. Other than that nothing much happened today. Had a meeting and then I went to the opticians and my sight was not what it used to be so I will get new glasses next week. I have also cooked prime rib in red wine the whole afternoon and it's so tender and smells delicious. Danniel and Emil is coming over for dinner tomorrow since Sunday is Father's Day here in Sweden. Jonas is in the studio in Kungälv with H.E.A.T recording their first album with Erik Grönwall as singer :-) We are so excited to see and hear the outcome of this. I'm totally sure it will supergood!!

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here. On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.
