Ok, here we go and new events on G! It's Friday and the weather is nice! This is great! We will today when Helena has finished working to sign on the sailing ship Gratia in Nynäshamn, and follow around the archipelago and we dock in Djurgården in Stockholm on Sunday. First I will tell you a little about Tallink Silja Line and new ship wines. Stay tuned!

Tallink Silja Line and new wines
They said that every two years, Silja Tallink selects new ship wines to be available on their ships. It is everything from champagne, white and red. They get about 100 of the bubbles, 100 whites and 100 reds. They sit down with 10 people for a whole weekend without labels and just taste and see which variety can fit in, without being too expensive but still with class.
Happiness
Getting a contract like this is happiness. The suppliers were there and were very proud and got to present their company. We are talking about 1.2 million bottles in two years. It was a great atmosphere and we got to try their new wines with good appetisers. I think they have made good choices as ship wines. These are not 400 krona wines, but more what can suit many people in the right price range.
Gratia
I'm more likely to put my camera on the shelf for filming. I now have 29 films on Youtube and there will be much more. I am not a professional, but I will be! We expect to have a whole bunch of films/photos from the archipelago and the ship in Stockholm, and we will of course report. I also think that Helena can cool down a bit!
Highlights of the week
As I sit here sipping a glass of red, it's quite nice to look back on the week that was. Red Monday and we got to be together with the sun. Tuesday and I got to switch to summer tyres and sun.
Wednesday with press lunch at Operakällan with SCR and in the evening course with Youtube Sweden and sun. Thursday and ship wines and in the evening meeting with travel bloggers and sun. Just changing to summer tyres is joy because then we know what to expect.

Haha! Just couldn't resist 😉
The sailing sounds wonderful - and the food on the boat... Now I'm drooling on the keyboard again, even though I've just had breakfast.
For my part, I have received two incredibly funny messages this week. Or actually THREE pieces of joyful news out of the ordinary. So here I have been walking around with a big smile on my lips most of the days 😀.
Have a great sailing trip now!

No! Or yes!
I've had a tough week with eyestrain and not being able to read blogs, so barely at the screen. Fyy.
But, I am happy for you and I have a little joy myself, because I am slightly better and have cleaned my sunny balcony! 😀
Happy Friday Hugs!

Tallink has really improved compared to 10-12 years ago. I just say class. Glad that you / you got to be there.
Sipping a glass of white and enjoying 21 degrees on the balcony and the hottest day of the holiday with 24 degrees. Add to that the world's most fantastic lunch and four days in a row with heat and...:-)

A long working day ended with good food and nice company on the sun porch at work! Hope you have a good weekend, here is the Corvette club with about 50 cars tomorrow, guess if I should take pictures?!? Fun with wine tasting, and all the food looked good! Happy Friday was when the youngest son texted: thanks mum for the money, Stockholm here I come! Concert in November, but the tickets were released today, and the stock exchange is always empty?/Anette?
