Felicia has won the Swedish Melodifestivalen, and now the Eurovision Song Contest awaits in Vienna. The Austrian Embassy and the Austrian Tourist Office took note of this – with a thunderous party.

Send off party for Felicia
We were invited to a ”Send off party for Felicia”, and to be honest, we didn’t really know what to expect. The party was held at Historical Museum (a museum we really like!) and included lovely, lively entertainment.
The moderator created a really nice atmosphere, as did everyone who sang or presented in other ways.
For example, we heard ”Euforia,” which, at least for us, is a special song with specific emotions attached to it.
The main act was – of course – Felicia, who will perform her (and Sweden's!) entry at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna. Felicia gave a wonderful performance and we wish her all the best on location in Austria!
A time when everything changes...
The event at the Historical Museum was a highlight this week, but otherwise it has been a changeable week. We are booking and rebooking, so to speak... We will be back!
This week: Grateful for ...
This week we are grateful for all the friends and acquaintances we have. When we were at the Eurovision event, we met many great friends and partners. This network of contacts means a lot to us!
Your turn: What are you grateful for this week...?
The week ahead
We have a lot of plans, but this year the plans are changing all the time for some reason. May seems to be packed with different trips and events – we will be back!

What a fun and different idea to hold such an event at the Historical Museum, which is absolutely my favorite museum in Stockholm.
I laughed a lot because I didn't recognize a single artist on stage, except for Felicia, who is the same person as Fröken Snusk. I have a feeling that you didn't know who was performing either, or I'm wrong ;-)

Yes, it was a fun place for an event!! 🙂 So, I know very little about celebrities. But I recognized Felicia anyway 😉 And some Hollywood lady who was there … 😉 There were probably more celebrities there, I think, but like I said, it's a bit outside my "expertise" … haha

Historical is fun and interesting. We'll see how Felicia does and if she feels comfortable traveling and performing there, but she has a team that supports her and maybe her mother. It's hard to understand the mask yet, everyone knows who she is, all her classmates and families, but people are very discreet or they don't care.
The week has been very exciting and interesting and today with the wonderful weather I am so grateful.
