HOT HOT H.E.A.T

I woke up at 4.30AM of the rain. It hit the windows hard and I had to cloose mine because it rained in. I then fell asleep again and woke up at 8, still raining hard and it was so dark that the streetlamps still was lit. This is not good when H.E.AT is to perform outside in the afternoon but around midday the rain stopped and it become lighter and lighter. So by the time it was time for them to perform the sun even tried to show herself :-) It has been and is still rather warm though which is nice. At Fadderbyn I met up with Sara from the studio, 2 of the guys in Tension Grace, all the girlfriends except Anthea and also Mike and Mickan. It's always nice to meet everyone and we do have something in common :-). Then the guys came on stage and they did an acoustic performance. Great stuff and it really shows how much musicality they have. During one song they really got feeling and started jamming. I loved it and so did many more. You could see they really had fun up there. I hope yo...

Today we had the first boardmeeting with the Rheumatic association after summer. We planned the whole autumn with activities for our members and we will also take part in a big exhibition in a mall where we will present our association and hopefully get more members. It was nice to meet everyone again although many are still on holiday. A good meeting which resulted in many good decisions. Tonight Hasse and I sat down and planned. What did we plan? Well, I won't tell you yet but you will know in a couple of weeks ;-) Tomorrow we are, or at least me, going to Fadderbyn where H.E.A.T will play. It's their way of paying forward. They have their rehearsing studio there at a very low cost so they play there every year or at least have so for 2 years at least. Next week I will start my course. In Stockholm!! I hate going on public transportations especially now with this Swineflu. It isn't good for neither me nor Hasse to get that. Especially Hasse who has lungproblems must be ca...

This is where I want to be right now!!! (Las Vegas of course) And where I think H.E.A.T would love to play :-) Today I have been to my former work for a meeting. I really don't know why we should meet because nothing new was said and I still don't have a new job :-( I don't know what to do. One side of me thinks it's rather nice to be home and do things when I'm feeling well and have the time whether it's at midnight or 5 AM. Another side, my more realistic one, says I really need to get a job soon because it's that need of money that talks and I do need a job for that. I mean the bills have to be paid no matter what, isn't that right? But it's hard since I can only work 50% because of my rheumatic diseases and if I tell them that when I apply for a job I don't stand a chance. But on the other hand isn't it worse if you got to know that after you have employed someone? I think so, and I really have a hard time lying, or rather not telling. Is...

Don't forget: KEEP ON DREAMING (borrowed from H.E.A.T's homepage) Since I put the flagcounter on my blog I have actually realized how many outside of Sweden that is reading it. It is awesome that you want to read and I wish you all a warm WELCOME. I hope you will find it interesting and return. As you might have understood by now I'm Mom to the keyboardist in H.E.A.T, Jona Tee, and this band is just great. I hope you all had a chance to hear their music. Their homepage is HEATSWEDEN and if you want to see them and listen to them check this out: Sommarkrysset with H.E.A.T It's from a live TV-show at Grona Lund on Saturday. H.E.A.T is actually going to Tokyo, Japan, in October to play at Loud Park09 with among others Judas Priest. I saw someone in Japan reads this so spread the word. Also I have my Mom at a home for elderly since she's suffering from Alzheimer's. Yesterday me, my sister Helen, her daughter Bianca took her for lunch to Hågelby Inn which is a be...

Yesterday I had a blast seeing H.E.A.T at Gröna Lund in Stockholm. I arrived at 4 and met the guys and most of the girlfriends who had just arrived from Gothenburg where they were on Friday listening to Europe's free concert at Götaplatsen but also to play at the afterparty at Hard Rock café. The girls were pretty tired but the guys were ready to rock. I waited for Mandy, Johanna and Minna to arrive and when they did I hugged Mandy and accidently smacked Johanna's nose, sorry Johanna. After that we went to the restaurant where the other girls were eating. So Mandy and Johanna had a bite to eat while I went out again this time to meet Anders and Kicki. We dediced that we would eat at Tyrol and they went in and took a table. I then walked with the girls to the entrance we should use, as we were on the guestlist :-) On the way all they guys came and also Suzan from their record company and we got a chance to talk to them. We went in and we had guaranteed seating so I went to Tyrol...

We have just come back from our little minivacation in Helsinki. We had such a wonderful time maybe not for a party-animal but for those who wants to relax, rewind and stress down (get the picture?) We got this wonderful Commodorecabin with balcony which we sat down on with a cup of coffe (complimentary) when we came onboard. Together with a bowl of fruit and a whisky. We changed clothes and went down for dinner at Maxime. Very good and so much to eat, but we drank a wonderful wine too. After dinner we went for a walk on the ship and I, of course, did some heavy shopping in the perfumshop. I always do because it's the only time I really have time to try and to see what's right for me. Boring as we are we then went up to the cabin where we sat on the balcony drinking beer (that is Hasse) and watching the archipelago go by. We had had rain and it was a lot of clouds but suddenly the sun came and we had this gorg eous sunset (look at the photo). We arrived in Helsinki at 10AM and ...

Today me and Hasse are going on a cruise to Helsinki. This time with Silja line. We have booked a Commodore cabin with balcony. Why not have the best ;-) Then we are staying one night at a new botique hotel, Hotel Haven, one night to be able to walk around Helsinki also by night without stress. I will tell you afterwards if the hotel is as good as they say, 5 star. Then we are going back on Thursday, of course in a Commodore cabin with balcony ;-), and will be home again on Friday. I will certainly try to remember to take photos so I can share with you when we come home. I just hope that the weather will be fairly good. It doesn't look that way judging from the weather reports so we have taken umbrellas with us. I also don't hope we will have a stormy and windy boattrip but a calm and wonderful trip just as it can be in Sweden archipelago in summertime. Saturday, of course, Gröna Lund and Sommarkrysset. I'm really looking forward to that too because I haven't been to Gr...
