HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Here's a link to a TV-interview made with H.E.A.T this afternoon regarding their participation in the Swedish Melodifestival. It's in Swedish but at least you get to hear and see them live :-) http://www.expressen.tv/noje/Melodifestivalen%2B2009/1.1381707/h.e.a.t-tror-folk-ar-trotta-pa-discopoppen Enjoy and sleep well. We have -5C outside now and lots of snow but they say it will melt away in a few days. I just have one question - why?

From left to right - Crash, Dave, Jimmy, Kenny, Eek and Jona - H.E.A.T Finally, I can tell you that H.E.A.T is going to compete in the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest in February 2009 with a song titled 1000 miles written by David Stenmarck (Martin's brother). I have known this for quite some time but haven't been allowed to say anything with the risk of disqualification if it came out earlier than the official announcement. I'm a big fan of the Melodifestival as you who know me knows. I think I have watched everyone for as long as I can remember. Even the day E was born I watched the Eurovision final the same night at the maternity ward. He was born at 11AM and the final was at 8PM. That's a true fan :-) http://www.svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=79702&lid=puff_1324650&lpos=lasMer Here's a link to Swedish television where you can see them but they are in all our papers and on TV as well. I'll try to write more later but now I have to cook dinner. Until l...

This past 24 hours has been filled with snow and more snow and on top of it very strong winds both full storm and in some cases hurricanewinds. I took some photos earlier and I post them here so you can see for yourself. They are taken on our frontyard, on our street (so you see they haven't plowed yet) and in front of our house and as you can see it's still snowing! I both love and hate the snow. Well, not the snow itself but the concequences that it can cause. Especially in traffic. When it snows this much they can't manage to keep the roads clean from it so for instance yester day and today Norrtalje was almost isolated. No buses could go to Stockholm and they warned people to go by car. But if you could stay inside or just go for a walk it's actually quite beautiful. I'm going to my Mom tomorrow morning in rush hour and I'm not happy at all about this weather then. But she has an appointment with the Rheumatologist and I have to go with her because since sh...

I'm sorry I haven't written since the party Thursday night but I have been on this course in Nynashamn and I didn't have access to a computer. I drove down to Nynashamn on Friday with two other ladies from the Rheumatic association who I picked up outside their homes. We came down in good time to get our rooms and gather before dinner which by the way is excellent at Nynasgarden. For starter we had a Gazpach o soup with grilled prawns on a toast. It was very very good. Main course was a vealentrecôte with baked potatoe and a winesauce. This was on Saturday which was a very long day with lot of lectures. Since we are many different associations represented among them blind, deaf, epileptic, heart- and lung disease, mental illnesses and more a lot of things can happen. And yesterday it did. Two of our participants had epileptic attack first one in the middle of class and the other in the evening. That was also more serious because they had to call ambulance and she was then t...

This is a photo of me and my coworker R. We are, as you can see, having a great time. OK, I'm not that sober but I missed the date with 50 minutes. I didn't have time to write yesterday with all the preparations for the party so instead I write now, not quite sober. It was really a wonderful party and it was so fun to meet everyone, former and present coworkers. Some who you haven't seen for a very long time. Lots of memories were shared but also questions like what are you going to do after this? I think we will stay connected some of us but I hope we will see each other. Anyway it's now 1.10AM and I'm tired so I really need to go to bed because tomorrow it's time for Nynashamn.

This afternoon it started snowing and it's really beautiful. It actually stays on the ground since it has been cold and icy all day. When I was out walking Hilma she went nuts. She just loves the snow especially eating it. Every winter it's the same she rather eat the snow than drink water. Isn't that strange? Does any of you have a dog that does the same? Today I started work late since we had this information all afternoon but do you think I got anything done? I slept in until 07.30 which was very nice. Then had a lovely breakfast. I was going to watch TV a favourite show I have that is called A place in the sun, but suddenly our TV didn't work :-( We have installed a satellite dish last Friday and it hasn't been working properly since so I got so frustrated. I was trying to get it to work and the clock kept ticking. Finally I had to take a shower, do my hair and makeup, eat lunch and then off to work so I actually ended up stressing. Oh, I forgot I cut H's ha...

Today has been a rather calm day which is nice. I started my day fasting since I was to take all these bloodtests on an empty stomach. So I came to work as usual at 06.40 and our nurse at work came 07.30 so I went down 5 minutes early that way I was the first in line. Afterwards I took a walk back to my room and had breakfast. Isn't it silly really that you can't, at least I can't, go without having breakfast. I always get a headache if I don't eat in the morning. Anyone else has the same problem? You should think it doesn't matter but it does. I don't know if I have told you about my work place. It's not one building where we all sit but we are spread over a large bit of land. We used to be even bigger but we left the castle itself a couple of years ago. OK now I have been trying to copy a map over the area into my blog but I haven't succeded so I will try to describe it instead. Our area is about 3km and we have 2 schoolbuildings, 2 hotelbuildings, one...
