TONIGHT I START SINGING

I will start singing at LEWINSKIS tonight.

They say it´s no people out and about in the nights, but 
if we anyhow get some in I will continue singing 3 nights a week during

Preparing For The New Season

The summer is soon over and I have already started preparing for the new season.
As you can see my blogg also has got a new look with an theme of autumn.

At the moment I´m busy looking for new songs to take into the repertoire.
Walk alone, Paradise Hotel, Raggle Taggle Gypsy, The boat to Liverpool, Timber are a few of the backing tracks/dances that I´ve got so far, but I can´t yet promise that I finally will sing them when I must try out the key first to see if they fit my voice. If not we can play the original tracks in the breaks if somebody like to dance them.

If there is a popular line dance that you think I should start singing please tell me on my Facebook or send a mail to susanne@susanneholm.com.

I don´t know yet when I will be ready to start, but I will for sure be on before the end of August... maybe earlier? During the month of September we will have line dance 6 nights a week.

September is a "line dance month" here on Tenerife. The other months we mostly have line dance 3 nights a week, and 3 nights we have mixed country music/ couple dance nights.
 
Please get over here if you can and meet up with all the dancers that come back every year in September.If we get teachers here from England I will ask them to teach the new, most popular dances, if they like to do it. It would be nice if we could learn at least a couple of new dances every week, but like I said it depends on if somebody like to teach.

We will start "the line dance month" already in the end of August when some of the dancers will arrive earlier this year.

I look forward seeing you soon,

The Wild Cats

Do you remember the wild cats that showed up at my mothers house last year?
Cariñosa (the grey-white cat) has got three babies this summer. 
We think"Abuela" is dead when nobody  have seen it.

Brito gives them food three times a day or more at the moment, and they all get close to him now even when some of them were very afraid in the beginning.
We counted them to be 9 cats that visit here this summer so it´s quite a lot of food for him to prepare. And an other thing is that a Magpie bird that is living in one of the  trees in the yard has also got a lot of babies and it quickly rob the food so Brito must watch it.
Or they are actually 8 cats at the moment when the "Yellow cat" was hit by a car outside the house last week. We have not seen it since that so we think it probably died even when it run away after the accident. 

Here some photos of the cats, but many are missing.

 Gato feo, was here last summer too.

 Cariñosa, was here last year too.

 Baby.

Fiesta


Brito barbecuing on the island.

It doesn´t matter if we have been out on the  island or if we have been at home on the mainland, we have made party dinners every day! So many nice dinners that I start feeling a little bit tired of eating.
I think I have gained about 3kg so far, even when we have tried to stay LCHF (Low carb) as much as possible.
But the worse bandit is for sure Tupla Chocolate bars and ice cream? As soon as I return to Tenerife I will get back to my real diet. Sugar, potatoes, rice and bread will then be banned.

If you are in Finland I recommend you to by the chocolate fondue below.
I bought it on Lidl in Vasa. So easy to use and good tasting chocolate.
You just dip different pieces of fruits and biscuit in it and have it together with a glass of cold champagne. We had it with Flexinet-Semiseco champagne that is my favorite drink when it comes to stronger waters.
