fint i visby del 1

Första helgen i oktober tillbringade Lisa, David, Kristoffer, Mikaela och jag hos Johanna och Per på Gotland. När Lisa, David och jag landade mitt på torsdagen var Johanna på jobbet, så Per hämtade oss på flygplatsen på sin lunchrast - så rart! - och släppte av oss i Visby. Där promenerade vi lyckligt runt och ooh:ade och aah:ade hela eftermiddagen. Det är inte svårt att få tiden att gå när man är så förtjust i Visby som vi är!


Först köpte vi glass. Det var det absolut inte för höstigt för.

Såhär såg det ut i Visby den här dagen:










Svårt att inte ta extra många bilder på Lisa när hon är klädd såhär vackert och färgglatt. "Ja, jag har väl förstått hur man ska göra för att vara med på bild när det är du som fotar!" skämtade hon, men faktum är att hösten verkligen är Lisas tid rent klädmässigt och hon ser alltid fantastisk ut i de här mättade färgkombinationerna.




Här har Lisa precis fått syn på en tehuva (som hon också införskaffade och tog med sig hem från Kränku).


Och sedan fikade vi på varm choklad med vispgrädde innan vi åkte ut till huset i Dalhem och spelade Mario Kart hela kvällen. :)

oslo lindy exchange part II

Saturday night at Oslo Lindy Exchange! (Here is part I).

There was a showcase:



And there were mix & match finals:






And there was plenty of dancing:













This band - Jazzombies - are sooo goood. Definitely my favourite of the weekend (and the other bands weren't bad either). Can't wait to dance to them again at Winter Jump in February!


Mix & match winners & second place! (Yes, yes, Liam won, again. BUT I'M NOT JEALOUS. At all.)



On Sunday morning, we danced by the water at Salt (but most people weren't there to dance - they were there for the sauna). :)

And then later that afternoon there was a lovely tea dance at Bygdelagssamskipnaden:



With hot dogs! :)





The amazing organisers!


Thank you for having me, Oslo Lindy Exchange! I had a blast. <3

oslo lindy exchange 2019 part I

Two weeks ago, I was invited to Oslo Lindy Exchange as the official photographer. The weekend was a delight, with lovely dancers, a beautiful venue and brilliant musicians. I also didn't mind being able to lie in every morning - lindy exchanges (events that typically don't have classes) are amazing like that. :)

Here are some favourite photographs from Friday evening, with a taster class, mix & match prelims, a fab big band and lots of dancing:














The morning after we went to beautiful Kulturhuset for a taster class and daytime dancing.











And then we went for lunch with some good friends that I see too rarely, like Emelie and Dagrun.



We went to a food hall and I got a delicious burger (I'll always pick burgers if I can, as you know). This is the best photo I got while we were there. Ha! :)


After that it was time to go back to our hosts for some rest and to get ready for the evening. When Liam and I got there (yep I took my boyfriend with me to work this weekend :)), Sean was visiting, and he and our host Andrea were already busy drinking whisky. :) I found my way to my comfy bed for my afternoon nap, but Liam doesn't hate whisky, and he was soon sucked into the discussion (and the whisky drinking). The discussion revolved mainly around whisky barrels made of wood from trees that only grow in remote, very specific areas, where the villagers eat only strawberries for every meal, and then when the trees drink their strawberry wee from the groundwater, it changes the whiskey stored in the barrels made from the trees. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.


Speaking of hosts, every Oslo dancer who asked "so where in Oslo are you staying?" reacted the same when we answered that we were hosted by Miriam and Andrea: "Ooooh! You got the luxury hosting!!!". Apparently they are famous for being the best hosts Oslo can offer. We don't disagree!


And here's Miriam again, because she's beautiful!

Saturday night + Sunday coming soon!
