HOT HOT H.E.A.T

I have the last days found a TV-show on Swedish Television where Americans come to Sweden to find their heritage. It's a competition and they get to see many parts of Sweden and each week they compete and one by one is out until one is left. That person will meet with his or hers Swedish relatives. It's incredibly emotional, gives you a sence of Sweden and Swedes. It's called Allt för Sverige which means All for Sweden and here's a link. If you're interested you can click and watch (I hope) otherwise it's on www.svt.se/play -  Allt för Sverige . In this episode they are in a beautiful summer Stockholm. It's mostly in English so you will have no trouble understanding.

Once again a week has flown by and we are getting closer to Advent-time which is nice. This week I went to a TV-recording of the Swedish version of The Voice with 4 very well-known and loved singers. My "entourage" was my sister Helen, her daugther Bianca , her friend and Danniel. It was great fun but since it was very close to where my Mom lives it was a long way to drive and it's almost out on the country so when we went to fetch the car it was completely black! You couldn't see anything expect for a very shy moon. I did get to my car and drove home. On the top of this photo you can see Helen and Danniel with the spot on them.     Then Thursday night a friend of mine won the HMMA for classical song. This took place in Los Angeles and a big congratulation to Victoria Tocca for this achievement. The song is Dark Waltz. Click on the link and you can see and hear the song.  Victoria Tocca from the HMMA awards (Photos from Victoria's homepage) On Friday I ...

H.E.A.T has hit the studio and are recording. This is part one of their studio diary :-) Enjoy!

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!! Erik G in the studio The night before they went the guys and their girlfriends had goodbye-party in their rehearsalstudio (The photo taken by Mandy) Tomorrow I'm going to visit my Mom and then Danniel will follow me home for dinner. A special big congratulation to my niece Monica in Barcelona ...

Friday I went to the Rheumatic association to get a view of the new homepage and it's looking very promising. After the meeting I went to my favourite chocolate store here in Stockholm: Kungsholmens choklad & Café on Fleminggatan 45 (which is opposite S:t Erik's hospital). For you who knows Stockholm :-) She has the most delicious chocolate and so good coffee. If you ever are in the neighbourhood, don't miss out on a visit.  (She's also a H.E.A.T mom) Then yesterday me and Helen was at Tyrol which is a restaurant at the amusement park Gröna Lund (which is closed but the restaurant is open all year round). We had a great lunch and then a supershow with Carola who is probably the biggest star we have in Sweden. She has a show where she sings Barbara Streisand and Elvis music. It was absolutely great! I have no idea why the photos are the wrong way and I don't know how to fix it. Advice please! After the show we went to a charity event hosted by Victoria...

 Rehearsing before the TV-show You just have to watch this. This is such a lovely ballad performed by Jocke Berg singer of Hardcore Superstar (a big hardrockgroup from Sweden) and Jonas from H.E.A.T. It was on this morning on Swedish TV4 and here's the CLIP . Enjoy it!
