HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Today I saw big streamers in 4 places in Upplands Väsby. It's in every entrance to Upplands Väsby from south to north from east to west. The local hairdresser has dedicated a whole window to H.E.A.T complete with guitar, the Globe and CD. Our local shop has also decorated the shop with posters of H.E.A.T. I'm moved by the dedication to them. The first streamer says: Congratulations H.E.A.T to a place in the final in the Globe The second says: The final countdown - H.E.A.T in the Globe and the third says: Don't go any further - go H.E.A.T (that is here) The fourth which I haven't taken a photo of says: Welcome H.E.A.T (here) Very witty! Earlier tonight I drove Jonas to Stockholm city and the Town hall (from where they broadcast the Nobel dinner every year). The town is giving a party to all participants in the Melodifestival there. I think they will have a rockn' roll time.

I haven't written for a while since I managed to slip on an icespot last Thursday and fall so bad that I fractured a rib. I didn't realized what had happened until Saturday because I also hurt my shoulder and my knees in the fall and they hurt the most at the beginning. Saturday night Jonas, his girlfriend M and Dave from H.E.A.T was here for dinner. We had a very nice and relaxing time and after dinner, coffe and lots of talk and remembering I drove them home to Jonas place. On returning it suddenly felt like someone stuck a knife on the left side of my chest. It hurt so much I had trouble breathing. I couldn't cough and absolutely not laugh. And whenever I bent forward I had that knife there again. Despite that I drove up to Gavle on Sunday but I could only sit in one position. I first went to see S and L. L was home for a couple of hours from her job and had made coffe which was nice. I stayed for a couple of hours before going to G. I stayed the night at G's place a...

Last night the last 3 acts were selected for the big final in the Globe on Saturday. After that the starting number of each song were revealed. H.E.A.T got the same starting number as in Skelleftea which is good for us since the number already is in our cellphones :-) Maybe it's a good sign in other ways too. Last time it went well and we hope it does on Saturday too. We all have to keep our fingers crossed. Well, maybe not, we need to vote as well :-) Like the last time you in other countries will be able to see the final on web-tv so enjoy. You're welcome to share your thoughts with me afterwards. Well, not directly afterwards since we, the whole H.E.A.T entourage, will be going to a after party held by their manager, bookingagent and recordcompany. It will be awesome I think. Even if they don't win they have achieved a lot by participating in the Swedish Melodifestival. A lot of new gigs and more money (hopefully). But of course we do hope they win but there is some comp...

H told me this morning that it was a long time since I wrote anything in my blog. I said: So you read it then? Yes I go there every day he said. I didn't know that because he hasn't told me before. I then realized I hadn't written anything since last Thursday and it has happened a few things since then. Last weekend we went to our very good friend's house in Marsta where we met with our other friends that we travelled to Greece with. All in all we were 8 people having a wonderful dinner, not Greek oriented, but still. Champagne, of course, to start with. Then an entrée that was simply delicious, followed by a wonderful main course and a simply gorgeous dessert. After all that food we all went (except for K and B that didn't have a ticket) to a theater nearby to see the Train of life based on songs by Hasse och Tage. We were also served a flowery falusausage and beer (we could hardly eat it after all that good food). Very nice and entertaining a Saturday night. We we...

Today I was to meet my former co-worker for a coffeedate. Well that is we wanted to meet and chat about what has happened since we saw each other the last time. We decided to meet outside our mall and while I stood there waiting for her I suddenly saw Eric and Stina. Eric is guitarist in H.E.A.T and Stina his girlfriend. I knew the band was going to rehearse so Eric was on the way to that. While we were standing there chatting Lotta came and a few minutes later another of our fomer co-workers came. We had no idea she was there but when she heard we were going to have coffee she wanted to come too. I presented them to Eric and Stina and then Eric was off. Stina was to wait for Jossa who is the girlfriend of the other guitarist, Dave. We went to Waynes coffee in the mall and had a lovely time catching up with peoples whereabouts. One was pregnant, two had got married, one had got a new job etc etc. Very nice and a lot of laughters too. Suddenly Jossa and Stina came and they sat down a co...

Yesterday we had our annual meeting at the Rheumatic association of Sollentuna-Upplands Vasby-Sigtuna and I was elected chairman. This is a big and important task but with the board elected yesterday I think we have a wonderful team and can work for our members in a good way. One of our biggest events this year is our 30th anniversary which will be celebrated on April 18. Another is a trip we plan to do to Gota Kanal . I have to place a photo of M here on this blog. I think she's beautiful and this photo is taken at the Melodifestival in Skelleftea. She's my son J's girlfriend and I'm so happy that he's found her. They are happy together and I see that J feels good when he's with her and I see that she really cares for him and that's all that matters and it warms a mother's heart. As a bonus I have gained a new friend in her mother S who is a wonderful person with whom I shared a lot of laughter in Skelleftea. -9C and sunshine today, brr.

And today it's Saturday again. Where did this week go. Well, I do know since I slept most of it. Last week this time we were in the arena in Skelleftea waiting for the whole thing to start. Today we are watching next partfinal this time from Leksand, Dalarna. We have to see who the competition will be for H.E.A.T. It's a nice way to spend a Saturday evening especially since I love the Melodifestival. This partfinal is said to have no good songs. So we have to see if we agree with that too. Our main problem now is tickets to the Globe. Of course we all want to go there and cheer like we did last Saturday. But the thing is that the Globe is sold out or almost anyway. There are ticket to get by at ridicolously high prices but perhaps we will get some at least. We don't know that yet. It is also quite expensive since the tickets aren't that cheap. But this is once in a lifetime and I'm sure this will never come back again so better make the most of it. Carpe Diem, I say...
