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!
