HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Over 20 000 has read what I write. It's fantastic! I'm very happy about it and I will try to write more.  I really admire my sister and nieces in USA that writes every day this month. It's the month, where you are supposed to write something every day, called National Blog Posting Month. I love reading their thoughts, little anecdotes and follow their lives. It's hard when you are so far away but internet is a blessing in that respect. Not much more to say. I have been working Monday until today like almost every week and now I'm off until Monday.  Today was Emil's namesday and we celebrated him during coffee this afternoon. Just a little cake, nothing much. Emil when he and Hasse went for a walk in the sunshine (but cold) On Friday I'm going to H.E.A.T's first own show where they headline and have supporting bands. They had a great weekend in Gothenburg last weekend and this Friday it's Stockholm. They go to Kalmar very early the next m...

I just came home from a conference with my local Rheumatic society. We stayed at a hotel in Nynäshamn, Nynäsgården, which was awful.  You can't see it properly but this was really nasty. Broken and not clean  Mold in the shower  Very old TV and you couldn't see much on it so I'm lucky I had my Ipad with me.  Break in attempt on the door The conference was great and we came to great deciscions but the hotel wasn't. I had been there before so I knew what I was in for but the others didn't. I tried the first room - the bed hard like a brick. I went to the reception and got 3 more keys to 3 different rooms. 2 of them with the same brick matrass the third was OK. The receptionist said she didn't know what rooms had newer beds (which is strange) but admitted that the other beds were from the 80's! I mean over 30 years old beds in a hotel. Imagine the rest.... To top it all I had mold in the bathroom which smelled awful. Lucky I wasn't there t...

No more snow :-) and of course as soon as we switched to winter tires the snow and ice was gone and now we have around + 6-7 C. It's very dark though. When I go to work in the morning at 5.45 AM it's completely dark and the sun doesn't rise until around 7.15AM and down at around 4PM and it's grey. The positive is that we now can light candles inside, snuggle up in the sofa watching TV without feeling guilty that you're not outside :-) Last Saturday we have good friends over for dinner which was very nice. I had made Creme Ninon for starter which is a green pea soup with champagne. Main course was my salmon gratin with a delicious white wine sauce and for dessert a chocolate fudge pie with rasberries and icecream. We served a White Zinfandel, Beringer to drink and that wine is so good. The soup was so good it was over before I had a chance to take a photo ;-) Main dish looks a bit pale but was truly delicious Dessert was yummie! Then on Tuesday I...

Today October 25 the first snow this season (not counting the snow at the beginning of the year) fell in Stockholm. As you might remember I'm not a fan of snow. Well, that is I like snow but I don't like the consequences of snow like icy roads, traffic jam, slippery streets and freezing. I do like the crispiness and the light it brings to the landscape and it can be really beautiful as long as you are not in a car on the road or having too little on. Picture from Stockholm city photo courtesy to Anna Dansk I can also reveal that H.E.A.T is doing, besides the tour in Sweden, also a tour in Great Britain and more shows/countries is apparantly on the way :-)   I might have to take vacation in April and go to England :-) Well, we have to wait and see. Other than these news I don't have many but my stiches from the operation is not yet out. They are supposed to go away by themselves and apparantly it isn't healed yet (2 weeks since the operation now). I h...

So it's Sunday again and I, as usual, don't know where time flies. I don't remember if I told you about the operation I went through last Thursday? Anyway they did have to take a tooth, empty a big abscess and the infection was so bad that the bone structure was gone and replaced by the infected tissue. I know, not a very nice picture. I did see it afterwards :-( I think I had like 10 stiches, can you imagine that in this small place but now as I can see the total picture I see that they had to open up even further back than I thought. For a week I couldn't open my mouth properly and haven't, of course, been able to eat as usual. I can't chew on that side now either but on the other side is OK. This is how I looked 6 days afterwards. Bruised and swollen although the operation was in the upper jaw. I also bought a new car this week. Meet my new blue Citroen C1. A beautiful compact car which is much more economy in driving to my work in. As the petrol her...

Tonight H.E.A.T will gig at Sturecompagniet which is a very "in"-place in the city center of Stockholm. They are on at 0.30AM so if you are in the neighbourhood don't hesitate but go there! I was this morning to the hospital for an MRI, which I hate!! They wanted to check out my pelvis since my last visit when I couldn't walk that is I could walk but with crutches. The MRI gives me creeps. It's like laying in a coffin not being able to move or do anything. You are strapped to the thing you lie on because you are not supposed to move an inch. I also had my arms streched out above my head which was very uncomfortable after a while. I don't mind the sound and knocking at all, it's the feeling of being trapped that gets to me. Have you done it? What do you think? Do you experience the same or is it just me being silly? I got a severe migraine after that so I had to stay home, take a pill and go to bed. After a few hours sleep it's much better so n...
