PT

...So back to the wedding :)

It was great. Very touchy. Traditional with a bit of crazyness. Very elegant and extremely fun! So it all started in my favorite church- The Östersundom kyrka, where the bride walked the aisle with her father and where the groom showed a thumbs up to the parish when the bride answered "yes" :)


In a sea of soap bubbles the happy couple walked to the groovy car and drove off.



At the party we ate delicious food, had games, danced a lot, took funny pictures, listened to Armin van Buurens greeting for the happy couple and experienced half of the guests dancing a dance routin for Pyre & Teemu.


Oh, and I catched the bouqet ;)

Madrid

Hälsningar från Madrid. Jag är här på arbetsresa. Vad det var långtråkigt att flyga i 4 timmar! Började nästan önska mig turbulens bara för att något skulle hända :) sorterade och organiserade mina iPhone appar i färgordning istället :) superviktigt, jag vet.

På konferens

Vi har haft konferens nu i flera dagar på Högberga gård, ett helt fantastiskt ställe! Från konferensrummet kan man nästan nudda de stora fartygen som passerar, så nära är de :)

Magic Mike


I went to the cinema on Sunday to check out the movie Magic Mike; that I have to admit that I have been waiting for for months. I had thought (based on articles and trailers) that it would be much more a comedy than a drama. I was wrong.

First I was a bit dissapointed that it was not as I had expected and I couldn't really say if I liked it or not... but now afterwards I would kind of want to see it again.

Have you seen the movie? What did you think?

I think the movie was actually quite good but the trailer has been made to get a lot of women to have girl's night out at the cinema ... as the trailer does not show anything of the serious drama part that actually rules the movie and actually makes it really good.

Block Party


På lördag kväll var Fra och jag tillsammans med Jerry och Nicola på Grolsch Block Party på Södermalm. Vi köpte fina svenska öl och drack dem på gatan lyssnandes på musik först från Pet Sound Bar men sedan överröstade Midnattsloppets partymusik så vi gav upp och dansade istället. Annika dök också upp lite senare :)

Geocaching Update

We have been geocaching lately in Italy, Finland and Sweden. In Italy caching took us to a wonderful little city called Robecco Sul Naviglio. We couldn't find the cache there but instead we could listen to wonderful music from a wedding on the other side of the river and enjoy the very beautiful city. A perfect little place to make a motorbike trip to and eat some icecream :)


We also found a treasure in Lecce, a small box attached with a magnet behind a rain gutter, close to a very beautiful church in baroque style.

In the city of Aosta we found the cache in an old stone wall close to a roman time theatre that archaeologists were still "digging up".

In Abbiategrasso we saw a beuatiful castle:



In Finland caching took us on a 2 hour rowing trip in the rowing boat but the cache was still too far to reach. We found a travel bug in an other one though- which kind of made my day.

In Sweden I have had a cache in mind for a long time- because it is on the way to work. Every morning and every afternoon when I have passed the place I have been eyescanning to figure out what the hint could mean. Until yesterday, when I saw a small box, covered in brown tape in a tree.


So I am still very much into it :)

Rajatonta musiikkia


Eilen kävimme Ellin kanssa The Real Group festareilla Rajattoman ja Swingle Singerseitten keikalla. Zero8 oli lämppärinä. Zero8 oli mulle uusi tuttavuus, mutta mukava sellainen :) Mieletön määrä nuoria puvuun pukeutuneita miehiä ei nyt yleensäkään ole oneglma ;) Rajaton oli seuraavana ja lauloivat vaan niiiiin hyvin. Iho oli kananlihalla ihan jatkuvasti ja Ellillä taisi tulla tippa linssiin. Esittivät kappaleita edelliseltä albumilta ja ekaa kertaa livenä seuraavalta lastenlaululevyltä jänö-jussin mäenlaskun ja se vasta olikin hauska! Saimme nauraa oikein kunnolla! Vaikka Rajaton yritti lopettaa keikkansa niin yleisö ei antanut. Seisten taputettiin ryhmä lavalle ja joutuivat esiintymään sen verran ettei jäänyt aikaa tauolle :) :) Swingle Singers oli seuraavana. Eilen en vielä tunnistanut, että ryhmähän on se, kenen lauluja mulla on iPodissani. Ups :) Eivät olleet mitään verrattuna Rajattomaan mutta hyviä ja hauskoja kumminkin.

Hauska yksityiskohta festareista; kierrätys oli teemana ja jokainen esiintyjä oli ostanut esiintymisvaateensa kirpparilta ja näyttivät erittäin 70-lukuisilta :)

Ferragosto

bild lånad av visitstockholm.com och modifierad.

Igår firade vi Ferragosto, som är en italiensk tradition. Den 15 augusti firar man mitten av sommaren, lika som vi i norden firar midsommar. Dock har italienarna alltid semester i augusti och då blir den 15 augusti ju på mitten av perioden :)

Så vi som har blivit vana att fira Ferragosto (vi var väl en 10-15 st) samlades på Mosebacke för en liten After Work.  

Det var riktigt mysigt för platsen var fullpackad, vi såg en massa varmluftsballonger stiga upp i skyarna och solen lade sig bakom stan. Mosebacke är en av mina favoritplatser i Stockholm.

Tillbaka


Så, tillbaka i Stockholm efter en alldeles underbar semestertid. Nu är det full fart igen med jobbet och med massvis med fritidsprogram! På jobbet har jag ett nytt fint rum också med en likadan stol jag hade i lågstadiet :) På fritiden blir det en hel del konserter, grillfester och bröllop i både Finland och Italien. Och så borde man ju hitta lite tid också att köpa alla fina möbler som spanats in före semestertiden...

Vacation 2012 Italy, The North

In the past week we have kept our base in Milan. We have been meeting millions of friends, gone geocaching, done some shopping, had several brunch meetings, common dinners and drinks and just been enjoying to full extent.

We also did a really nice motorbike trip arond the lake Maggiore, where we also stopped for some hours to swim. The lakes surrounded by mountains are just so beautiful!

One day we drove to Aosta to check the ruins from roman times and went nearby for a hiking trip in Parco Nazionale di Gran Paradiso, from where we could also see the top of Europe's highest mountain, Monte Bianco (situated in France and Italy, french name Mont Blanc).

But then it was time to change Italy to Finland and enjoy an other kind of heat: sauna!
