Thank goodness the first show is now over and I thought it went quite well. I was rather embarassed when the boys attacked the docka on the bed though.
With regards to the newspaper article on wednesday, the journalist has every right to express her opinions. HOWEVER, I think being so personal was completely out of line. I would have thought as a professional courtesy she could have asked us, for example, if our dogs are indeed accessories. I thought the remark really quite graceless and silly.
It is on the same level as questioning someone who has a baby if they had it because they liked buying babies clothes.
I wonder if the article says more about her than it does our show. It is afterall TV not real life.
Have a good weekend and thank you for all the nice comments about show 1.

Ikväll har det alltså varit premiär på säsong 2 av sveriges fulaste hem - oj vad det har varit nervöst idag och som extra krydda till premiären har vi blivit totalsågade av en viss Malin Roos på expressen som verkar ha gått runt och verkligen avskytt oss och allt vi gör hur länge som helst………och tycker att hemmen var snyggare innan vi varit där. Vi måste såklart köpa dålig kritik det följer med jobbet men när hon kallar våra hundar för acessoarer, och säger saker som “jag ser gärna Lulu Carter puffa lila kuddar” så är det inte kritik mot våra program och smak längre utan ett förlöjligande av vårt och våra kollegors (Lulu bl a) yrke, och Simon och mig som personer. Skulle ge vad som helst för att få titta in i Malins hem, för det måste ju vara sveriges snyggaste, för vem som helst kan ju puffa lite kuddar och kalla sig inredare ????? och behöver hon lite möbler och prydnadssaker att inreda med så är jag övertygat att våra familjer gärna skänker henne det vi plockat bort.
I alla fall har vi precis avslutat inspelning av program 6 och vi har lämnat en överlycklig familj - teamet har slitit som vanligt med ett näst intill omöjligt byggprojekt, filmat mer eller mindre dygnet runt, burit, släpat, städat o s v. Det vore riktigt, riktigt konstigt om alla gillade det vi gjorde det är ju trots allt extremt subjektivt. Alla medverkande har själva sökt om att få vara med i programmet, de får hantverkstid och inredning för stora belopp, de får vara med i tv och Simon och jag Jobbar stenhårt med den lilla tid vi har med familjen att verkligen försöka ge dem något som de vill ha, vi ska ju inte bo där. I tv måste vi bara ta i lite mer för att före och efter ska synas ordentligt.

Thursday 2000 on TV3 begins the new season. Must confess to always being very nervous when it starts as we have so little control over what finally comes out.
Do not really know why they changed the time, I think it might be because they are pushing the Anka woman.
Busy day filming today, Percy gloriously behaved and tomorrow is calzone with extra cheese day as we call it.

Well……..we have now done bingo lotto which was great fun. As I thought Lotta was really fantastic and the whole evening passed off with out a major incident. What was really amazing was having 2 people on the show win a million kronor. It really was quite amazing to be so close.
Up at 0530 this morning to catch the train back to stockholm and filming.
T & I are utterly exhausted but is feels nice to be able to pack in so much at our advanced age.
I am going to bed!

Just arrived at the Bingo studio and met Lotta who seems very cool, professional and pleasant. I think we will enjoy working with her this evening.
Went to a great party last night out at Telegrafberget. left Nybrokajen by boat as the sun was going down, really beautiful. Lots of fun people, drink, good food and music. This morning though was a little rough.
Thanks for the tips Josie, will certainly have a look…….it sounds quite dreadful.

Now back in stockholm after a fun week in Sundsvall and the weather is glorious. The boys were so happy to be out in the snow before work today and it really felt like there MIGHT be spring in the air.
T & I had a sneak preview of show one of the new season that will be shown on thursday 18th at 2000. They have changed the time and we are before Lyxfällan. I must confess that the editors, loggers, sound and camera guys have done a great job. I had tears in my eyes because of some of the scenes.
Tomorrow T & I are off to Göteborg for Bingo Lotto. Now I am nervous as we have not done so much live TV………in front of a million people.
I am worried I might say something I should not…I already want a martini but think that might not be a good idea. Anyway, lets see how it goes.

Just a quick round of Friday Q and A:
Mr Perswall
We loved the wallpaper gift. Thank you.
Lotta
We were in Märrgård outside Sundsvall. We will actually be back at the end of April at the Vårmässa.
Angelica
No, no one who participates in the television show pays. In regards to the chairs - “mysigt” means different things to different people. The leopard chairs are by one of our favourite designers William Haines (he was also a Hollywood star of the 1920’s and 1930’s). I agree though, the chairs are not suitable to sip tea in. I much prefer to enjoy a gin and tonic in them.
Ulrika
Many hotels in Sweden actually accept dogs as guests. I hope it was not just because it was us that Percy and Pooter were welcome. I think anyone should be able to bring their dog along.
Melissa
Thank you. It always nice to know that people like you.
Completely beat. 2000 and have just finished filming having been in the loppis barn all day. Boys have been very badly behaved and spent the day trying to talk to the pigs and chase the cats. All very stressful.
Sundsvall has been melting all day which means spring MIGHT be on the way. I hear stockholm has been glorious all day, has been gray as hell here.
Tomorrow back to the city and reality………not sure I am ready for the bright lights againm.

Gorgeous day yesterday, today gray and a little rain…….which is when we went skiing.
Millions of kids on the slopes all waiting for us to fall over and break something but we did not. Actually I am rather proud of T and myself as I do not think we made complete fools of ourselves.
Now back at the hotel and can feels my muscles getting a little stiffer, I am sure tomorrow will be hell. very lucky that I have a sauna in the room so I might take an hour with a few beers.
Alternatively I could try these
or maybe not……….

Woke up this morning to glorious sunshine and warm, about +1 degree.
Staying at the First Hotel and have a great suite overlooking the water. They even left 2 dog bowls in the room with some dog treats which I thought was such a good idea. Nice to be welcomed with dogs rather than having everyone having an allergy attack and trying to get rid of you. Well done First Hotel!
We are off in a few minutes to see the family, they have the most enormous Grande Danoise, the boys should find this an interesting experience.
Tommorw we will go and do a skiing scene. I was thinking about this and realised I have skied for 3 days in the last 25 years. If I drop dead at the bottom of the slope you will know why.
That is it from here.
