The sun is shining

A beautiful day in Umeå today, the sun is shining and the temperature is a barmy 1 degree! Friday is by far my favourite day of the week because it means I get to spend 2 whole days not worrying about work and being with my family.

It is the final of Melodifestivalen tomorrow and I am really quite excited! That being the competition in which Sweden chooses it's entry to Eurovision this year!! SO camp, although without Alcazar in the final it is a slightly more sombre occassion! It is such a fun competition and the songs in it this year are actually really good. The songs in the final are good anyway, the others were pretty damn rubbish! I am going to drink beer and sing badly, even to the Swedish songs, thanks to lovely teletext! Poor Sandra!

I took the dog for a walk this morning and fell in the evil slush/ice flurrys so have hurt my knees, I will survive though. The weather is warming up so the ice melts in the daytime, gets trampled on and driven on so gets all mushy then freezes again overnight when the temperature drops...makes walking an extreme sport - especially with a slightly hyper hound! Hopefully this afternoons walk will be incident free, I have offered to take her again today as Sandra has a lot of pain in her ankle for no reason at all - seemed mean to make her take the dog for a walk too!

I have done some more work on my secret project today, am going to do some more so I can reveal it next week...fingers crossed people will like it, I am a sucker for needing reassurance.

Well, best get to it. Jag önskar er en trevlig helg! Vi ses!
