Here I am, in the middle of the beautiful Swedish summer, writing songs at a song writing camp. It’s nice and loud around here when writers from Tokyo, Hamburg, Stockholm, USA and Espoo (to mention but a few) are runnin’ around from a studio room to another. It’s great to be here!

I’ve been in a good hurry for a few weeks anyway, after the album release. I just returned from my Paris holiday on Tuesday and immediately started packing for this song camp in Sweden. My laundry wasn’t even dry yet when I was packing my bags for this trip;) But I don’t mind, travelling is great!:) Oh, and before leaving here I had a couple of nice interviews, too..but I think I get the best out of me when I’m running around in a bit of a hurry and don’t have too much time to lay down. That’s when I get the best ideas and reach the highest energy level. And then when I want or need to, I think one of the best ways to relax for me is shopping (which I really did in Paris!!)…;)

It’s twenty to twelve pm now and I’m still getting some new ideas and melodies after today’s writing sessions. So this is a good time for me to right down my ideas for this diary/blog when the thoughts are still running fast. Otherwise, this day is now wrapped up and has been a very good one. It has been a good start for this camp.

I’m still gonna set my alarm clock for the morning and put my jogging shoes ready for the morning jog. My plan is to go out and do some easy running in the morning, right next to the water area and those green hills. It’s beautiful here.

Good night. Good morning. Good day.
