HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Tonight, Swedish time 23.59 PM, is the last time to vote for H.E.A.T to win the Rock Bear. Take the chance, they are so worth it but is up against hard competition and more well-known bands. VOTE 23.59PM is in American west coast time 2.59 PM if you want to help out. I have voted every day more than once and I know that some have voted very much because of the great price you can win - an exclusive gig with H.E.A.T. Tomorrow I'm having, I think, the last meeting before the big jubilee dinner. Now some people have come back and said they can't come :-( They have known and planned for so long so why say no with no explanation!! That is so bad and rude. Since we are so close we have to pay for them anyway. One couldn't come because of a death in the family and that of course we understand. Or if you get ill but to just have a change of heart is not OK. That's my opinion anyway. I really have to go to bed now. I have been awake since 3.30AM and it's now 10....

There is still time to vote and now H.E.A.T has thrown in yet another spice to it: Do you want to spend a night with H.E.A.T and one of your best friends, get free H.E.A.T CD's and Tshirts, have a few beers and watch a private H.E.A.T gig in Stockholm? This is how you do it: Vote for H.E.A.T at rockbjörnen.se everyday (click the "We need you" profile picture for info) and everyday post a reply comment that it's done on our "We need you" profile picture. We will randomly choose 3 winners who can bring one friend each.   So now there is no excuse not to vote. You remember how you do it? VOTE!    Now to other things. Tomorrow me and my sister Helen is going to Elite Marina Tower to stay until Sunday evening. They have recently opened a SPA at the hotel. Actually they haven't opened officially but we have booked two treatments each. Looking forward to that and to spend some time with her. It's far too seldom we meet although we live in ...

There are still time to vote for H.E.A.T (until August 22). See link: VOTE FOR H.E.A.T For my English speaking friends and family it's a bit hard, maybe,to understand the Swedish so here's an explanation how to go about it: Fill in "H.E.A.T" down to the right (where it says: Årets hårdrock/metal) För-&Efternamn = Firstname & Last name. Epostadress = Email address Mobiltelefon = Phone number (you don't have to give this) Ålder = Age Kvinna/ Man = Female/ Male Kontrollfråga = Security Question "What is 5 + 5?" (different numbers all the time but math is international, right?) I do hope you vote because they are so worth it and this is the next biggest music price in Sweden (only the Grammis are bigger). But in some eyes this is even bigger because it's us the ordinary people that vote and not some jury. The announcement will be made at Gröna Lund, the amusement park in Stockholm, on August 29. So I will, and many with me, ke...

Yes, H.E.A.T is one of 5 groups nominated which is a great honor but now we need to vote so they win as well. Rockbjörnen (The Rock bear) is a big prize here in Sweden and it's founded by the biggest evening paper here. You can vote here: VOTE H.E.A.T What more? Well, I worked last week with enormous pains but managed until Wednesday (I'm off work Thursdays and Fridays) but that evening pain struck more than ever. I have no idea what's wrong. I had so much pain in my right groin and it was so painful I could hardly walk. Not to mention sleep. It was almost impossible even to lie down. I once had bloodpoisoning in my foot and this felt the same in the groin like that time. The only thing I could see was my damn achilles tendon that looked inflamed. On Friday it was worst than ever and I had a meeting with the jubilee committe. They both had cruches and I borrowed one while they were here and it felt much better :-) I started eating anti inflammatory medicin (which I ...

  Sunset at sea First day at work after a wonderful vacation. The centrum of the ship at Captain's welcoming party We returned home on Saturday after our gorgeous cruise around the Baltic Sea where we got to visit Helsinki, St Petersburg, Riga, Gdynia, Sopot, Gdansk and Visby before returning to Stockholm. The Winterpalace in St Petersburg, Russia  Gorgeous house in Riga, Latvia   Dinner in the sky (I just wonder how they do if they need to go to the restroom)   Submarine outside of Gdynia, Poland   Lech Walenskas house, former president of Poland Me and Hasse on the tender boat to Visby I love the Vision of the Seas, one of the smaller ships in RCCL's fleet. We had, just like last time, a junior suite with a big balcony. Compared to other ships this balcony is huge and was in frequent use by us, both mornings and nights. Breakfast on the balcony I love the sound of the waves at night when going to sleep and the ...

Tomorrow there are two big events going on. First and formost it's H.E.A.T on TV4 progam "Sommarkrysset" which airs 8PM (Swedish time) Unfortunately me and Hasse will then be onboard the ship Vision of the Seas and might not be able to see it. We will watch it when we come home on TV4 play :-) I'm so looking forward to our cruise where we will go to some interesting places - Helsinki, St Petersburg, Riga, Gdansk and last but not least Visby :-) Some we have been to before but some are completely new to us. This is the kind of suite we are having onboard. Nice don't you think? I do hope the weather will be a bit better than it has been the last days. Thunder, rain, thunder, humid, a little bit of sunshine - my head doesn't like this at all!! Nor does my body and my Sjogren's :-( I will bring my IPad and maybe I can place some photos on FB if I'm lucky :-) Until then have a great time and take care!

 View from our friends paradise in Dalarna   Me and Hasse in front of his old home in Ludvika Since I'm on vacation at the moment and moving around a lot it's hard to keep up with blogging.  Me and Pär our friend and also father to one in H.E.A.T Hasse and Brita (Pär's wife and accordingly mother to a member of H.E.AT Since last I and Hasse have been visiting good friends in Söderbärke, Dalarna and after that we went to "our hotel" for a 3-day stay which was very nice.  The entrance to Artipelag   Hasse on the walkway from the boat to Artipelag   Me and Hasse on the bridge  As usual lots of cruising ships in Stockholm this time of the year . Then I took off to Malmö to visit my Mom's cousin who is 84 and very vital. We always have so much fun togheter and this time I cooked for her which I promised I would do.  My Mom's cousin, Kerstin I made cold avocado soup with shrimps to start with. Then a cod with win...
