Jonny,
Yes, it was one of the islands surrounding Stockholm but far away from the city. Usually the sea is freezing cold but I was lucky this time. It must have been at least 26 degrees C.

I was surprised to find the sea that warm. Usually the temperature is 20-22C I think. Too cold for me.

I heard on TV about the problems between Russia and Georgia, it's so sad ..especially when I remember Georgia's song in eurovision.

yeah it's sad. ironic but Georgia's entry wasn't heard by the president of Georgia. Pity!

Jonny,
Yes, a very bad draw for Sweden. I hope we will get some points at least.
I imagine you had good weather on your holiday. After a long period of dry and hot weather in Sweden it started raining this week. I do have a tan since I spent a weekend in one of the lovely islands in our archipelago :)

Mina,
Have a nice holiday :)

I'm leaving tomorrow actually ;)..I hope to have a good time..the problem is there's no sea there...oh well, I already have a tan (greek skin and stuff..lol).
Irrelevant but I heard on TV about the problems between Russia and Georgia, it's so sad :(..especially when I remember Georgia's song in eurovision.

I just saw the running order..Greece is after Russia once more, like the esc semi. I hope it will bring us luck again :P

I read on the official EDC site the following sentence:

"Couples from fifteen European countries will have the hard task to compete in the only Europe-wide dancing competition, the 2008 Eurovision Dance Contest!"

http://www.eurovisio(...)tv/page/news?id=1234

I can understand that they want to advertise for their event. But they really shouldn't do that with false pretences. Have no one of the EDC officials ever heard of European and even world championships in profesional dancing? Europe-wide dancing competitions are carried out for decades.

Just to say hi to all of you. I have new account.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is luckily going to be a part of EDC next year. I read that in our newspaper. Dejan Kukric, director of bh delegation for Eurovision, told that.

Good luck UK on EDC 2008!
