HOT HOT H.E.A.T

So

Me and my collegue Elisabeth in my room Since I last wrote so much has happened. This will probably be a long post. We started very early on Friday 23. I went up at 3.50AM and out to the airport at 5.45AM. We arrived safely to London before scheduled time which meant our transfer weren't there. So I had to call and you can imagine how astonished I was when the man in the other end of the phone said: Hi Mia, how are you today? Did your flight went well. It turned out he was the one I had been "talking" to when booking. After a while we got our cars and in a beautiful sunny weather we went to our hotel. As we were very early 10.30AM our rooms wasn't ready but I and one other in my group got ours so we could store are luggage there. My room was gorgeous. A big spacious room, which is rare to get in London. On the other hand my contact at the hotel, chief manager of front desk, had arranged an upgrade for all our rooms! She and I had been "talking" a lot th...

Tomorrow morning, very early, I'm off to London. I have to leave my house at 4.50AM to go to Märsta and pick up two of my co-workers. The plane leaves at 7AM but we are to meet at 5.45 to be sure to get through security, taxfree, passport and get to the gate where we are supposed to be 20 minutes before, not later. When we arrive in London we have a full day ahead. We start with checking in at the hotel and then lunch before going to Soanes architecture museum where we will spend the afternoon. In the evening we will dine at one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants which we are looking forward to. Saturday we are going on an architecture walk called Olympic London where we will have a practising architect showing us all the Olympic arenas that are being built or already finished. For those who want there are an exhibition called Don't move, Improve at NLA(New London architecture) and later we are having Afternoon tea at an awardwinning place. Then at night we are to see Pet...

How about this then? Well they are the best (according to me, a totally objective mother ;-) ) This weekend I had a great experience. As I have told you before I won a VIP-weekend with tickets to finale of the National Qualification for Eurovision song contest in the Globe. But not only that! It also included staying over night at Clarion hotel Stockholm from which you can see the Globe, also dinner with surprises. Well the surprise started already when we arrived to the dinner. We were greated like moviestars and photographed. Also we were filmed during the whole evening and interviewed on camera. The conferencier, and singer, was Jacob Samuel singer of the Poodles (H.E.A.T has played and also been on tour with them) Also entertaining was the twins Rongedahl. They have also been in the finale in the Globe a couple of years ago. Great musicians.   My beautiful sister Helen who joined me for the event   Me, happy as can be   The film crew that filmed us throughout the ...

Dirty Dancing was just wonderful. Did I tell you? I loved it as I of course love the movie. The week after, last week, I of course caught a cold. Our flu and colds are very late here in Sweden this year. Normally we are getting out of it by now but this year it has just started!! I hate this. It started out rather nice with fever and when that went I thought nice, now it's over. That wasn't too bad. What have I said in the past? Never even think the thought because it will, always, haunt you back. And of course it did. I missed out on the Opera last Saturday. My friend also had a cold and me too. So I decided to be a good girl and take it easy so I would be fit and healthy for this weekend. On Monday we had a board meeting with the Rheumatic association and luckily it wasn't that late but when I woke up on Tuesday my eyes were sore, especially the right one and very watery. Also I my sinus was clogged (too much information?) and it got worse. I did work but tried to s...
