We'll start by telling you that more people have made their tablets work with 360 photos. It's all about upgrading that you shouldn't forget. I have the first edition Macbook which is 8 years old and Helena's computer is 7 years old and she has Microsoft, and everything works.
We don't have broadband on the boat, so it's a sim card and we can still see everything. Computers can be a scourge when they show their worst side, but there is something wrong with them when it is not possible to see, when others can. Before the boat show, I was there yesterday, and I'll tell you about it here. Stay tuned!
Check in
There are a few things to organise when going to a trade fair. Where should I unload? Access card, exhibitor card, press card? You run around trying to get to grips with everything, but as usual it works out in the end. The fair has cut down on time so the whole fair has to be set up in one day, or 24 hours. It's good that you have so little to carry around because others don't!
Good week
It's been a good week again and just the fact that it's brighter makes me happier. We have lots of projects in the pipeline which I'll tell you more about after the fair. Those of you who have been following us on the blog know that I would never sit down for the rest of my life and be satisfied with that. We're building a whole new movement and it's really exciting, but it's not possible if we both work full time. I expect it to start in the middle of 2018.
How has your week been? Happy Friday and lots of hugs.

Nice to see some behind-the-scenes activities! Good luck to you!
For me, it has been a calm and pleasant week and the weekend will continue that way.

Hugs back Lena! That sounds great and we are slowly whisking away the dull weather.

Motorhome Helge says:
We like motorhomes better than boats even though we have the entire west coast on our doorstep.
Right now it's the Algarve Cup, shouting cheer cheer cheer so we lose our voice.

Peter says:
What fun with the Algarve Cup. Boats can be nice to look at and they are needed to fill out the surroundings. Have a nice weekend.

Ditte says:
We have had some boats over the years, mostly sailing boats, so we have visited the fair many times over the years when boating was relevant. This year I'm not sure how interested I am. But we have tickets so everything is open.
I'm glad you have a lot going on and I'm excited to hear more in the future.
Good luck at the fair!
03 March 2017 - 9:12
Peter says:
Thank you Ditte. What boats there are today, my God. You think you are entering a luxury apartment in Östermalm. pictures are coming. I have just come home from the fair and I am completely empty in my head. I send you some hugs.

Mr Nils-Åke Hansson says:
Have a great fair!

Peter says:
Thank you, Nisse. I know it will be heavy but not how heavy. 10 days is a long time and a lot of noise. We do the best we can. Have a nice weekend.

Ama de casa says:
I can forget about watching films with the unstable network we have here at the hotel campsite... 😉.
Right now I am most happy that it worked not to bring paper tickets to the airport but that it worked with the phone. I do not belong to the more modern types and preferred to have paper with me, but Anders refused this time 😀.
Have a very happy Friday!

Peter says:
I didn't realise the internet was so bad at your place. Of course you don't need paper anymore. Into the future with you, haha.

It's kind of fun to be there "from the beginning" at trade fairs and see what you show in the film, how everything is built up. Then how the room fills up with expectant visitors and another sound of voices spreads.
We have previously worked at trade fairs with the Stockholm Marathon stand in Berlin. Fun but tiring for legs and feet, comfortable shoes are an advantage and chairs.
The past week and my day off, has been all about cakes and cookies, which have been baked. It is soon birthday with us hihihi. Now four days of work await, which means that on Monday I will miss Magnus Reslow's lecture at the boat show, too bad.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the boat show.
Hugs

Peter says:
Wow, that's a lot of baking. We're not the kind of people who eat cakes and sweets, so if we get strange, it will be something else. Maybe it's that we've never liked to bake either, but with food I can stand for hours. Have a nice weekend and many hugs.

BP says:
Having worked at Suzuki (motorcycles, boat engines, snowmobiles) once upon a time, I recognise the environment you show very well. It was great fun to build trade fairs, but then you had much more time than 24 hours.
The polishing job was always done by me, I wonder why.
Today is press day at the fair or has it been cancelled? You know, only journalists and no cretins. Up in the press room, the best sandwiches in the world were served to the journalists...
Great to see so many new things happening. Can't wait to hear about your new movement.
Quite an okay week here. Fun to have lunch and coffee with my old boss and favourite colleague yesterday.
03 March 2017 - 13:26
Peter says:
How wonderful it is to read that it is good and it is contagious. The lunchtime sandwiches are still there and it was only for journalists and special invitees today, but it was still a good time. I wonder why you had to polish? Have a nice weekend and many hugs from me.
03 March 2017 - 15:51
BP says:
Hahaha! Not because I was the only girl in the gang anyway;-) The guys assembled / built the stand, which I was happy to avoid. But polishing boat engines shiny clean - I liked it and the guys hated it so ...
PS. Have also worked at a company that sold wheel loaders and excavators. The tyres were "painted" black and the machines were also polished (Elmia in Jönköping). Loved it! But it took a week to "build" this outdoor stand;-)

You are a man-woman and I am a woman, haha. It's nice to be 50/50 because it goes easier then. Hugs!

Ruth in Virginia says:
Good to have a SIM card, in case you fall out of the craft. 🙂
Nice busy weekend it seems to be! Hugs!
03 March 2017 - 14:39
Peter says:
Haha Ruth. I haven't thought along those lines, haha. Of course we have a swimming licence on the boat, haha. The weekend will be very tough, I already feel after one day. Now I will sit all evening with all the photos, 360 photos, and films that I have taken today and start delivering for tomorrow, Puh. Many hugs and nice weekend.

Husis blog says:
Many others are slowing down now that the weekend is coming, but Peter is stepping up...?
Nice to see the film about all the preparations that the owners may not always think about when walking there among polished motorhomes/boats.
Wishing you a really nice weekend, despite work
03 March 2017 - 18:25
Peter says:
Thanks Husis! It's so much fun but so frustrating when you feel you can't quite keep up. It's obvious to us that we want to entertain ourselves and you with everything you can't do. We've actually been given a gift to do this and we're not going to let it go. Have a great weekend!

Mr Steve says:
Fair time again and new fantastic creations. Nice to be able to look in on the fair and see some of the preparation work.
Here at Getingstorp, the past week is overshadowed by the fact that Nelson is no longer with us.
Have a nice weekend!
