Happy Friday! Remembering last week's party in Finland, enjoying the winter, and suddenly holding a book from the Catholic Church. I might admit that we mention the Catholic Church in the title to make you curious, but it's actually true that we have a Catholic children's book in the kitchen right now.

ShareParty in Finland
Our visit to Helsinki last week ended with a party at the Clarion Hotel. The hotel wanted to highlight its campaign, which involves a blogger staying at the hotel for an entire year (!). For us, it meant bubbly, and chatting with journalists and bloggers. Fun with a party!
Book from the Catholic Church
As bloggers, we are used to being approached from time to time by companies looking to collaborate, buy or sell services. Yet we were little surprised when we were contacted some time ago by the Catholic Church in Sweden.
It turned out that they wanted to buy a photo of us, taken at the Easter processions in Spain, to use in the new edition of a children's book about the Catholic faith. Now we've got the book and it's a bit "happy", not least because it's called "The Good News".
Glorious winter!
I know that not everyone likes winter, but I (Helena) love it. At least when it's real winter, like now. The snow makes it bright and beautiful, and from our houseboat we see both skaters (on Lake Ulvsunda, where the ice is thick) and lots of ducks (in the marina, which is almost ice-free due to propellers).
What has been the best part of your week?

Great party and cool that your picture was included in that book 🙂 .
This week has rolled on as usual with many nice meetings and meetings. The fact that the weather has been a bit dull for a couple of days does not go under the name "happy", the more happy it was today when the sun is back again 🙂 .
Have a good and happy start to the weekend!

Lena - good for the soul says:
Yeah, right. Pretty nice with winter. Real winter!
The best thing for me has probably been that it has been so quiet at work that I have caught up with a lot of do-it-yourself stuff! And that I got to the gym yesterday evening.
Have a nice Friday!

How nice that you were included in the Catholic children's book 😀.
I don't like winter, but I try to endure it anyway and find joy. Fully occupied almost all the time so there is no need for me. This week is not over yet so if we go back a week to last Saturday, I was in Stockholm and sang Gospel with a whole bunch of others in Berwaldhallen. It was really a highlight! And last Friday I was on a happy bus up to the capital.
Tomorrow I'm going to a party 😀.
Hugs to you two, from Gerd

Gospel in the Berwald Hall sounds fun! And not wrong with a party either! 🙂 Nice weekend!!!

Hello, I have been working on improving the winter snow in Åre, importantly worse now in World Cup times. Last week with the snow production and next time for wading so the competition slopes will be hard and icy!
Free weekend and heading to Järvsö for skiing with friends from F&S outdoor sections Stockholm, as part of F&S Sthlm turning 40 in 2018.
Greetings Åke in Duved

Ah, but so good to hear that there is someone who keeps track of the snow up there! 🙂 Wishing you a nice weekend!

Can't help but laugh here. The reason is that I am surprised (positively) that the Catholic Church actually wanted to buy your picture and not get it for free. Kudos there!
Snow is nothing for me, not cold either, but soon it will be spring again;-)

The discussion with the Catholic Church has been very good and they have been very nice. I'm sure they wouldn't have minded getting the pictures for free, but the discussions were good and I think we were both satisfied 🙂.
