We won in Eurovision and H.E.A.T on TV4

What a week and weekend this has been!

On Wednesday Hasse and me "sat sails" for Tallin on a mini-cruise. We went in the most beautiful weather with sunshine and summer temperatures. We got this amazing cabin - a corner executive suite with the largest veranda where we really could take advantage of the gorgeous weather.
 Beautiful sunset
In Tallin we took a hopon-hopoff bus which I think is a great way to see a town and then get back to the places you liked and want to see more of. We had lunch at a restaurant with maritime theme. It was really nice. I had a soup that was very good but how on earth they can put anshovies in butter ?!?! I don't know. That really spoilt my lunch. I can't eat that because my stomach doesn't want to have it.
 The water in the background made it authentic since it moved all the time
 Here you really see the maritime theme coming to live. See the sail in the background?

 In Old town you can see that this is a medievel town with beautiful old houses

You can also see from the photos that the weather was gorgeus even here although a bit colder.
 I just had to add this because the napkin is in the same color as in the logo of my work :-)

Home again on Friday we had a calm day before yesterdays (Saturday 26th Whitsun Eve) events.

First up was the TV-show where H.E.A.T participated - Kvällen är din. It's a program where people that has done something good for others or have gone through something bad like illness, overcoming cancer or similar hardships. They are nominated for this show and their highest dream is granted. One girl - Amanda - had a dream to sing with H.E.A.T and that's why they were on.

H.E.A.T - kvällen är din  listen to this - it's great!!

When this program was over it was time for the next event - Eurovision song contest 2012 in Baku. I know we had a great song and a great performer but you can't be sure of anything when it comes to Eurovision but this time it was true. WE WON!! and by big numbers. It was so exciting I couldn't watch the drama with the result so when Loreen lead when 13 countries had voted I had to go and take a shower to calm down ;-) When I came out of it there was only 9 countries left to vote and she was still in the lead. What a night! We haven't won since 1999 so now the big question is - where to get tickets for next years final :-)

And today is Mother's Day here in Sweden so I'm hoping for a visit from at least one of my sons :-) One has already called me and congratulated.

Have a great day and take care.

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.

NEW YEAR

I left you in December just before Christmas with a beginning cold. And of course it bloomed the rest of my leave from work. So I decided to stay home another week so my first day in the new year was yesterday :-) Even if I felt ill we had a lot of fun during Christmas and New Year. The day before Christmas Eve Jonas, Mandy and Eddie came. We did the last Christmas decorations, ate together and had a good time before going to bed. They slept over so in the morning we all had a wonderful Christmas breakfast which, of course, included Christmas porridge (which we only eat once a year) made of rice and to that we had the obligatory Christmas ham sandwich with mustard. This is so good and when you have this you know it's Christmas. Of course I bought the ham from an organic farm where I have been myself. They actually also have a recording studio on the ground so Jonas has been there several times recording bands. Therefore I know the pigs are well kept and have the best lives t...

Hello December

This month started with a tax education, yeah :-) in Uppsala. Since we don't have a goverment yet due to the chaotic political scene after the election, no one actually knows what's going to happen with taxes. It's just guesses. The day after we had Christmas celebration at the Rheumatic district of Stockholm. It was a lot of fun, good food and nice to meet everyone :-) And on Saturday it was time for Christmas lunch with my own Rheumatic local association. We were around 30 members incl. Eddie and Mandy. We had a lot of good food and we had the party at a local hotel here in Väsby in Bredden. There were two other children there so I bought them each a Christmas gift and they were very happy for what they got from the Rheumatic Santa Claus.

I have had fever now and then, headache, runny nose, ey...
