The SwedishLadies enjoying Picasso

The Picasso, the Figure exhibition has attracted a lot of attention since opening. I have already delivered a bunch of tours of it, and this week it was time for the SwedishLadies-group to come.
It's always different to deliver in Swedish, as it happens so rarely. But this time it went rather well. These stories are so much fun to tell, I enjoy every part and every room of this exhibition.


A rather big group this time! A great morning!

Livin' la vida loca

Linda got 2 tickets to Ricky Martin for Christmas from her husband, and he told her she could bring "anyone", not really offering to go himself, ha ha! I put my hand up of course, who wouldn't like a latino evening!
Furthermore I was invited for dinner at Mamsha prior to the concert, as my birthday gift from Linda - so spoiled!


The concert was at the Saadiyat Nights venue, where we went to Michael Bublé last year. It's a really cool venue, and we were excited.


The concert was... ok. He did put on a show and seemed to enjoy himself, but there was no in-between chit-chat, and the stage went dark after every song which lost the vibe momentum a bit. 



We enjoyed the hits of course, but also some of the slower songs. He sure can sing, has a beautiful voice.





Fun to be out for a night, and really nice to hang with Linda. Work, visitors and life has been busy lately, so we haven't seen each other as much as we used to.
