Weekend in Stockholm, True Talent

Beautiful view of Stockholm early Saturday morning

Back home after a weekend in Stockholm and you can never guess which hotel?
Yes, right it's as always Elite Marina Tower although this time we weren't as pleased as before. The location is still great and this time we took walks along the seaside which was great. The weather really was on the right side, that is sunny and beautiful. Temp. around 12-13C which is very warm this time of the year.
You could even see people on surfboards. I don't know what this sport is called but I bet it would be cold if they fell into the water.

We had a suite this time, very pricy which I didn't know when I said yes to it. I show you some photos from it so you get the idea.

And the bedroom

We went for walks along the sea which was great. I just love the sea air! I wish I had the money to buy a flat here but I don't. They cost from 3.500 million SwCrowns up to 12.500 millions Sw. Crowns. On top of that you have to pay a monthly rent! So this is only for very wealthy people sadly enough. I think if I lived like that I would never get bored. So much happening all the time on the water. I just love it!

This one I wouldn't mind living in at all - flat by the sea. What do you think? Isn't it lovely?

Oh, I almost forgot. We have a TV-show here in Sweden called True Talent and if you remember in August I was jury voting for the best voices to be in it. Since then there have been a lot of shows and today there are 6 singers left and they are all great I think. I have a hard time knowing what to vote for. Now it's the TV-audience that votes and choose the best True Talent. These 6 singers are staying at "our" hotel and has been for almost 2 months. Last night I sat down and talked to 5 of them and also took some photos. It was so funny because after we've been talking for a while it turned out we had a lot in common. For instance one of the girls was friend with Anna or Birgit Bidder who is a friend of Jonas and has often been with us both at home and in Gotland. She, Anna or Birgit Bidder as she's called when she plays is a singer/songwriter who is so talented.

Dimitri and Paula singers from True Talent

Ida, Emilie and Sara also from True Talent

They were all so very nice and I wish them all luck. I think I have to vote for each of them. They sing in very different genres and they are so good in what they do.

I'm really glad we had this weekend because last week we had a lot of work done here at home. We did some changes in the bathroom. Installed new pipes, new shower, new furnitures etc. I'm very pleased with the result. Thank you G so much for all your help.

Tomorrow we will have our windows changed. So we will have craftsmen here for a couple of days. I have meetings in the evening. On Monday with the Rheumatic assocation and on Tuesday I will learn more about my pension which is very good.

On Saturday I and Helen will go and watch Carola's show at Tyrol. I'm very much looking forward to that.

I hope you're all safe and sound and I wish you all a very Happy Halloween!

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.

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...
