What a day.. first a great lunch with “my person” – pasta – which meant salad and meat for dinner. We need to see each other more often – once per month isn’t enough!

Then on my way home something scary happened – I had to get off the sub and go to a mall to pick up a few things and when I was waiting for my next subway someone all of a sudden crashed a window behind me and before I knew it glass rained down all over me. The crash was huge since the window wasn’t supposed to be able to break but the young man was MAD so he managed anyway. I had my guardian angel on my side because I didn’t get hurt or cut at all, but obviously I was a bit chocked and people came up to me and asked me if I was ok.

Tonight it is the second part of the ESC to try out for the final on Saturday. 10 more happy countries are to be selected. So tonight we are cheering on Finland and Norway.

Result from Part 2: Switzerland, Slovenia, Poland, Romania, Norway, Greece, Malta, Belarus, Finland and Austria

 

 

Long day at work and the bus had left before I arrived to the station. I hate that. 29 minutes until the next one.. so I took a walk home.

It’s really not that far – about 2,5km – but with stuff to carry and semi high heels on it’s quite a challenge. But I made it and hopefully lost some calories in the process.

Tonight our Melodifestivalen winner is competing in the first round of competitors to try for the Eurovision Song Contest final, which takes place on Saturday.  Keep your fingers crossed for Sanna! 10 songs will go thru from tonight.

PS! She made it!

Result from Part 1:  Armenia, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Iceland, Montenegro, Russia, San Marino, Sweden, The Netherlands and Ukraine.

The day has come – after 4 events with 2 songs straight to the finale and a second chance round with another 2 songs to the finale – we now have 10 songs competing tonight ;

1. Helena Paparizou
2. Linus Svenning
3. Anton Evald
4. Alcazar
5. Oscar Zia
6. Ace Wilder
7. Sanna Nielsen
8. Panetoz
9. Yohio
10. Ellen Benediktson

All of us three families will start out the evening with a great dinner and my surprise cake.. a red-velvet cake – and then we will enjoy the competition and cheer on our favorites.

 

I think top three will be; Ace Wilder, Sanna Nielsen and Alcazar.

And the winner is – Sanna Nielsen, 2nd Ace Wilder and 3rd Alcazar – wow I should have played on the lottery…
