Opa Opa

slept in our very nice hotel last night. taxi from hotel at 0530. started lining up at 06 and got number 24. all familliar faces are here. it's pretty cold that time of morning even here. orion is high in the sky just before dawn and that is an impossible thing in september in sweden.

now almost 11 and sun is high in the sky and we have absolutely no shade to hide under. this is going to be a nightmare. met one swedish girl who is here by herself. met her before in helsinki.

we're like 500 m from the stadium and if they'll make us run that distance, people will pass out for sure. how i long for rain and winter, sooo far away now.

here are really people from all over the world and the media is here to catch up on that.

then we have the difficult issue, how much to drink. it's inevitable. if i have to leave my spot to get to the toilet inside the stadium I'm not sure I'll get back again. it's like the mentality of ppl here that makes me worried about that. ok now for the baloons. white and blue are hand out and the audience is supposed to wave them when the band enters the stage.

it's soon 1 pm and sun is really tough on us now. this would be so nice if we were at the beach but this is pure torture. there is not a lot to report on now than the heat. that's all there is really.
