Desert & camels!

A quick report!

Yesterday was great! Everybody performed well and we had a great day!
I had to pose on so many pictures and even wrote autografs... weird!!

This morning we was flying out in the desert with the Catwalk for photoshooting and filming! Wonderful!
We where flying really close to the sanddunes ans so many camels! Cant get enough of it, so fashinating....!

Me & Cerina is flying again a bit later! Looking forward too!
We girls are really popular here, haha! Cause we are nearlt the only girls! ;)

C ya!!



First days of show!

Yeasterday was great!
We started the day with a lovely breakfast buffe as always. Then of to the hangar and prepare airplanes.
Well the guys did, we where resting mostly on the wings of our 'catwalk' ;)

During the day we had some time to spend at the show arena, looking at the other teams.
Jacob did skywriting as his first display, flying pyhton in the middle, and wingwalking as last final display!
Me and Cerina where on the wings. It was an awesome flight!
Day before when we practised by lunchtime, it was so bouncy cause of the heated ground (thermals?), and I had a pretty hard time to stay good in 'lazy cat' and 'supercat', even sitting, but now at sunset it was perfect!!
Steady flying, wonderful view of the desert, loops and barrel rolls where amazing as usual!

Our driver Achmed Schumacher drove us back to the hotel as always, Henrik gave him his new last name, haha, cause his is driving quite fast sometimes! That was so funny ;)

Today Jenny is flying and I'm not. I'll be at the show arena most of the day.
Brought my camera so Im busy taking loads of photos! We are in so many magasines, Im taking photos of that also ;)

And Elise! I hope that sushi dinner could be soon again! Would be great fun to see you before Im off again!

Im gonna go and grab a Starbucks Frappuchino and keep watching the airshow!

Over and out! =D

Day 3! Like a moviestar...

Today was a big pressconferens where the show will be.
We 3 Skycats where dressed up in suits and cat makeup!

I never been posing this much in my life ever!
Everybody was like crazy about us and we had to pose next to airplanes and next to people, some famous who we had no idea who they where. Rich at least, like everybody seems to be here!

Crazy.... Im really not used to this kind of attention!

Now, me and Jenny will go and have a beer with Team Yak Italia!
They might be able to take us with them while training with there 4 airplanes formation ;)
That would be cooool.

I also talked some to the stuntpeople here, driving car and motorcykles in a crazy way...
Might see them when I go to Florida!

Tomorrow is last day before show starts =)

Take care!!




First day in Al Ain

We arrived last night in Dubai and it was heavy raining!
Surprised! Wasnt we supposed to leave bad weather in sweden?? ;)
It slowed down when we got of the plain luckily.

The flight was about 6 hours I think, and I was asleep before the airplane was taxing to start in sweden....
Woke up, ate a sandwich, fell a slepp again.Yeah... I was quite tired!

A driver for the airshow picked us up and drove us 1½ hour to our hotel. Starving, we ordered roomservice as soon as possible! Niiiice. Its a 5 star hotel, and quite nice. Not suuuuper fancy, but amazing food!!

We (The Team of Scandinavian Airshow) spent the day at Al Ain military base where the show will be. Unfortunatly its not allowed to take photos there =(
Jacob did 2 flights with Python. There is 16 teams I think here. We had a nice chat with the italian team, Yak Italia.
Got a cool little pin to put on my cap! Thanks!

Food is delicious! Big breakfast buffé at hotel, lunch buffé at the military base, and enormous dinnerbuffé at the hotel.
I'll must take photos tomorrow so you can see that! Dangerous with all that cakes and sweets....
I tried to loose a kilo or two for this show, the catsuit is tight! But back from here, I sure gain some kilos instead...
Its been to relaxed days, so I decided to visit the gym after dinner.
But I wasnt aloud cause I didnt wear shoes, haha! My trainingshoes didnt fit in the suitcase... Thought socks would be ok?? So I finally got to spent some time in their aerobic room! Yay!
I practised some ving tchun mostly and some playing around. My gymnastic talent isnt very strong! LOL!

4 of us went quickly to Al Ain Mall. At floorground between all shops there was a indoor iceskating arena!
I shopped to dresses! One just very pretty (black&white flower pattern) and a more fancy short black dress.
Cerina bought a nice orange shirt. Awww, need to go there again! Without hurry.
And you know what? They had starbucks........ =)

Now I'll try to uploads some photos!
Hang on!


Sorry... it doesnt seem to work. Or its extremely slowly.
I really need to go to bed, its past bedtime over here!
Tomorrow we do some wingwalking practising!! =D

Nighty! xxx
(Going to my big cosy bed, with 4 big fluffy pillows, mmmm)

Im off to Airporto! Have a great day all!

This night was no sleep at all... Feeling good!

I must be the only one driving car this time of the year, It sucks!
My cute little car was supposed to have a nice winter rest, clean and covered up.
But noooo, its taking me everywhere, any weather, anytime. Bless him!

Its for sale, but noone wanna buy a cab now.... Maybe try again when Im back in june.... Anyone interested?
Its really really nice, I probably not wanna sell him when Im back, summer  and the sun is shining again...! haha!
I sold the jeep, luckily, so I can afford my usa trip, but if I sell this one... I could afford even more skydiving! :D

And if anyone fancy a Ford Escort to renovate, I got that also.

Hella Fashion! ;)

Hey all!

As respond to all this hot  and popular fashion bloggs, I'll tell what I like about style & shopping!
And I can tell you Im not in to pink expensive glowing outfits :P

As a former shoppaholic Im more in to waste my money on adveturesand and travels now.
(And bloody expensive equipment, like a parachute isnt very cheap...)
And got an economy thereafter.... wich means not so good! haha!

So Im a truly great shopper in secondhand and sale!
Specially if I shop in sweden, going abroad I buy much more expensive, its so much more fun not shop what everyone else got! Putting these clothes, acceoaries together it creats my own comfy and rocky style *smile*
Travelling inspires me a lot, a bit bohemian chick is really soft!
Dressing up, a bit 1950 style is awesome!

Let me tell you what lovely stuff I bought at second hand today!

  • Black & white striped thigt shirt, (10 sek!!) Perfect for black jeans, highheels and my super red shiny bag!
  • A black triangled shaped knitted scarf, BIG! Perfekt to top above (40 sek)
  • A black & white knitted loooong soft cousy scarf (30 sek, god, Ive got so much black&white.....)
  • A big beige (also) knitted hoodie, for a perfect travelling comfy style! (30 sek!) Will look very cool and relaxed to tiny shorts and flip flops.
  • Another knitted jumper for riding, black with traditional folklore pattern at front in yellow & red (30 sek). Will look proper when clients visits ;)
  • An awesome bohemic chick thin shirt. White with black embroidery. I'll just cut the sleeves a bit so it wont look to sweet, haha! (30sek!)
  • A black bag! (ok, I knooooow I already got like 100 black bags....) But this one had great details, and quite big, good for daytravel or shopping day! (60 sek!)
  • A smaller bag, white with blue & green big flowers. 2 big rings as handles. Nice for beach or just to lighten up a black outfit. (5 sek!!!)
  • A tiny rocky bag for parties! Cool pattern, like holes in the leather! (5 sek also! Its like free!)
  • 2 leather belts, 1 black with silver studs, 1 brown wide, very vintage. (20 sek each)
  • and finally a RED pair of braces! (5 sek) Wich was very funny 'cause just a day before I was wondering where to find that!

Now, where to put all that???
Closets are allready more that full, more clothes in bags and boxes...

Im really need to clean up, what to save and not.. dont like that!
I buy clothes often cause I kind of fall in love with them, haha! ;)

If I could I should upload photos, bu my camera and computer wont cooperate...
Not the big one, not my mobile, not the webcam. And the so called waterproof one wont even start!
Crap.

Well, clothes IS fun! So is shopping!  =D


I rode the new horse today, her very first time!

You should have seen the brave little 'Kakao' today!
Ok, she not little, bout 168cm high. Mare by Figaro - Gaugain de Lully. A beauty (with long fur...). 3yrs and came last saturday. First I longreined her, to get a good contact with her and also make her waste that extra energy. She is fresh!
And then I just did some practise with her standing still, beeing relaxed what ever I did , like going up and down on a stool, leaning to her, put some weight in the stirrup... Her eyes where getting more and more relaxed, putting her head low...
And then I slowly got up. Patting, keeping her calm, talking to her. Then we slowly walked around the arena.... She was looking back at me, tensed a few times, looking very sceptical... but she really trusted me to be on her back.
Quite a cool feeling! See how it works out tomorrow.

Its been a good day. I was at work today to see the clinic (showjumping, horses) by Jens Fredricsson. He's great as always. Tried my camera in the indoor arena. I might upload a few photos. The feeling to be back at work after Ive been away  ('cause of my sickness) wasnt the very best... Im really done with that place I think, cant try anything else now. See how next week will be, back to my regulary work. Only 4 days, niiice!

Gonna make another chai latte now... I bought it at expresso house today, so I can do it at home.
Kind of forgot how good it is, since I deeply fell in love with it during my australia trip!

Nighty!

Calorie Day.......

Me and Maggan ate lunch together today....
We where dying for 'semlor'!!
(*semla *swedish bun with almondgoo and whipped cream, traditionally eaten at fatty tuesday, like last day in feb I think).

So I went shopping for those delicious 'semlor' and couldnt resist buying us a large Chai Latte....
Starting with this lovely latte, we made our lunch, homemade pizza! Actually very healthy ;)
It was really good! And for desert....  THE semla! Yummie!

Nice day! haha! ;)

Still horses to work.
Im of and out! brrrr (cold outside!)

 ----Eat me! Eat me!

Ving Tchun training today!

Feeling better than ever today I decided to go training today.
My plan was to just hang around and do some easy practising on my own. But... I couldnt resist to try a little bit more... and a little more again.... It ended up beeing the hardest trainging Ive ever done there!
We where fighting, kicking, hitting, grabling around on the floor like nuts! So great to finally get really tired and use those muscles again! They where like.... getting flobby by all this forced resting! ;) hahaha!
Hope Ill feel good tomorrow also.... Maybe was stupid of me. But damn it was fun!!

And Ive been playing with my new camera of course! Just love it!
I spent some nice time with mummy today, she showed me her new summertime cabin. It was so sweet! Then we enjoyed a luxuary lunch at a small restaurant/bakery.

Now Im gonna colourize an illustration I did today, and actually Im satisfied whit it!
Never are normaly.... And really good paid! Thats nice! =D

LONGING!!



Cant wait to go to Florida in february! Skydiving only for 2 weeks! =D

Late to bed again...

I havent been feeling this good for month! =D
And so me to be more awake than ever when night comes....
This afternoon, I got no drawings done at all. Tried to get this blogg look a little bit better, but know nothing about html stuff...
Might need some help, it cant look like this??

Time fly as always, lunged the big horsie with saddle, did very well!
Then fast shower, in to Katalin, a nice pub in Uppsala to meet a friend for a "safety chat", haha, bad translation! But to get my skydiving license for 2009 its needed to have a chat with un instructor to talk about safety and so on.

Then went to daddy to get my new camera! He´s a photografer and getting a new supercam so I bye the old one! Yeah!
Wanted a real camera for so long!! Im gonna take pictures of everything now!

Then to brother! He recent became a father of a so cute Joel! Just hang around there for a couple of hours, nice!
Tomorrow lll go to see mummy, better see my family as much as possible before Im off ;)

Now some the, more msn, more pondering over html....
time is nearly 01.00 am...
*eyes getting a bit tired*


Lovely weather! And feeling so good today!

Wakin up this morning wasnt to nice, I had a baaad stomach ache.... Everybody, take care of your stomach. Stress stomach is isnt fun. Well, 2 tablets, forcing my self to eat some porridge and 2 hour later I was fit for fight again!

Went out to the stables where Maggie just finished her muck out and so on. We went for a really nice ride in great weather! Shining sun and fresh horses =)
I rode the pony, named Suncatcher by the way, (brittish riding pony, good breed!) Fourth time riding him, and first time we went out! He was doing very well, a bit tensed in the beggining. Passing by the other stable at the next farm, he got so scared of the pretty fallabellas, he ran of out on a field! Haha!

Now Im of to do some drawings.
Tonight Im getting my new camera, that proffessional kind of camera!! wooohooo!

bye for now!

Airplane before shipping



Catwalk before it was put in container and sent over seas to UAE

Not so sick anymore....

Well, as start of this blogging... Im so tired! ;)

Time just passed midnight, ok thats not very late. Especially for me who got up like 8, let horses and doggy out. Did stables and then went back to bed.... slept for another 1 or 2 hour!
Its crazy how much u can sleep when u re sick... 3 month now.
Finally I got strong medecin and ordered to rest and its slowly getting better.
To add, Im very not a resting person.

Today I rode the pony I got for breaking in, we did canter today with just some bucking!
The bigger one just got saddle on, seems ok so far!

Then its been drawing hole day! And Im finally done with a load of them, releasing... So just next load to start with.
 Crazy, I got like a new email everyday last week about new jobs! Magasins are also waking up from xmas holiday?

Oh, and my friend Maggan stopped for a while, nice. We ate some candy... not allowed! :(
Its very lonely to home alone so much!
I dont really like that. Probably why I get stuck on msn at night ;)

Half of the Airshow Team arrived at Dubai today! They will start to put the airplanes together.... hope they do it well, haha!
Its so close now, next friday 13.35, me and the other 2 wingwalking girls will leave from Arlanda to Dubai!
