TV-recording HOT HOT H.E.A.T

 This is where I want to be now because it's so warm!

Yesterday I spent 5 hours in a very hot studio being jury in a new TV-show in Sweden that is called True Talent. It's kind of the same as the Voice but not. Let me try to explain.

People have been sending in suggestions of great voices or they have sent it themselves. After that 3 coaches has choosen, I don't know how many each, the best voices in their opinion.
Then it's our turn. We had to apply to be jury and then selected. The jury consist of 3 age-groups  - 0-25, 25-50 and 50+. In each group more than 50% must vote yes before allowed turning and see the artist and for the artist to go through to the next step all three agegroups must vote yes. I think it was around 10 or 12 artists yesterday and I really can't remember how many we voted to go through but I think at least 7 or 8. All of them had really good voices but in some cases they had that extra. I remember one of them that grabbed me from the start and that artist was a clear yes very early on.
As we were such a great audiencejury we had to stay extra long to applaud, cheer and smile. But after 5 hours in that H.E.A.T around 40C (I think) it wasn't very easy the 50th time around.
It was me, Helen and Bianca and we really had a great time though. Bianca was upgraded to the 25-50 group and was happy about that but Helen was upgraded to 50+ and wasn't too pleased about that :-) At least she and I got to sit together which was nice.
It will be interesting to see the outcome of this. The TV-show starts on August 23 and I will of course be watching.

Tomorrow we will have nightguests as Staffan and Lena is coming to stay. It's so nice and it's not that often they stay overnight so we will have a great time. I hope the weather will stay nice.

Sunday I'm going to Mom and there I will meet with Helen whose birthday it is on Monday. We will celebrate her, as we have for the past years, so Mom can be involved as well. I think we will have cake and coffee.
I only hope her present will come in time.

I hope you all have a great weekend :-) Take care!

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
