APRIL

Hi, 21.00 Thursday night. . .I just had a very nice bath. I definitely had to scrub off all the travel dust from a week in Finland! It’s so much fun to be on tour again and it’s actually not so exhausting that I remember it was? (Even though the bus broke down twice and we’ve spent, I don’t know how many hours, waiting for it to be fixed by our super chauffeur sound engineer Lasse “Kongo”)

I’m the only girl in the band and that worried me a little before we took off, but that has not been a problem at all. The guys are hilarious and they keep me in a good mood all the time. The only boring thing is that they are so tired very often and I’m not, and I know why . . ..

Anyway, I’ve made eight shows so far and most of them have been super! I’ve visited places that almost not exist. For different reasons these placesare the ones we have the best (or worth?) memories from at the moment. . . .I will spare you the details.Curious...?

I also made a short visit to the Finish part of Lapland. We flew to Rovaniemi (that’s where Santa lives by the way) and I did a signing session at Jack & Jill. In the evening at the hotel I made an acoustic performance  all  by my self to begin with. Then at midnight we did the show.

On the way home from Lapland, (on the ferry to Sweden) a very desperate, but nice cruse hostess asked me if we could help her out since she had booked a band that had forgotten one of their members in Helsinki and the boat was already cruising!!

I was really tired but said that we could try to help. It all ended up with my band (and my self) singing/playing covers and some of my own songs for the guests. They were even dancing! We had a fantastic time and the best of all was that we killed some travelling time. This hostess overloaded us with Champagne afterwards so of course we had another party going on together again. It can be quite frustrating to take the seventeen hours long ferry trip EVERY WEEKEND. This night was great though.

I did another acoustic performance last Thursday in Helsinki, (The Capitol of Finland). That was a Versace event so I wore my white leather gala dress and sang, Don’t Worry, If It Makes You Happy (Sheryl Crow) and I’m The Better Woman. It was fun but it felt a bit weird to play the guitar in a dress like that!

In Kokkola (quite close to Helsinki) I felt like joining the party after the show. I don’t do that very often since it always comes a lot of people who wants to talk (and of course this was not an exception). But, I was in a good mood and talked to ALL of them (between the drinks:) until two guys started fighting over me. Time to say good night. . .

I arrived home yesterday and today I have been working, guess where J?. . . .. .IN MY GARDEN!

I hope you’ll have a lot of fun watching my private pictures from the tour later on!



Love you so much!
