Marie Wintzer: The Kidney give away

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

     Well I have to thank Marie for more work than most blogs.  Thinking this was Finnish, I ordered a Finnish Dictionary from one of those on-line book shops in Finland.  After two weeks it arrived and the package still had snow on it.

     I was excited and started to translate word by word.  Some of the words were not in the dictionary or not spelt the same.  The first sentence started "You ist a wiener of das kidney Disco."  Too many Japanese mushrooms again for Marie, I thought.

    Then I noticed it.  It's not Finnish, it's Swedish!  Yes, I broke the code and it really reads;  "You are the winner of the disco ninjas Kidney give away. Pick up your present on your earliest convenience at the Wennergren Center, Sveavagen 166 Stockholm. Unfortunately we can not provide flights or accommodation.

No change, I still thought "Too many Japanese mushrooms again for Marie"  Thank you for all this research, but the best is yet to come.

And just in case you thought I made up the whole thing.And I thought that this was ABBA's summer home.

Yes, strange that Marie did not meet Abba on all the cocktail parties at the WG Center. When she was not working (as a tele operator) it was always a cocktail party to go to. Anyway, the telecom bubble in the late 1990's burst and Marie went to Japan...

Thanks for a fantastic blog and for breaking the code, Dean. And big thank you to Marie - a real disco ninja!

Look for something that looks like a large bean, and another sign is that it can be opened and read like a book. A bean boekie!?

Omg, in the freezer, thank you :D

PS: Yes, Marie said she lived in the Wenner-Gren center for awhile, but never saw ABBA once.

What does a kidney look like, and how will I know it's Marie's?

PS Now what can I do with a Finnish Dictionary?  So far I'm keeping it in the freezer so it feels at home, but we want to buy ice cream for the weekend, so something is going to have to give.

Wwait a minute... Ha ha, I knew it!! Marie learned Swedish in Stockholm. All makes sense now. Dean, you have to pick up the kidney, there will not be a second one!
