Done!

Now I'm done for today. I have made the Christmas meatballs, baked 2 different kind of cookies, shovelled snow in between and while I were at it I cleaned the downstairs bathroom. Hasse came home from Gavle and Emil came shortly after so we have had 4th Advent coffee with glogg, coffee, safronbuns and newly made cookies. Very, very nice.

Are you finished with the Christmas preparations? Has the peace come to your house? Or are you stressed out and not sure you will make it in time? Don't worry, take it easy, relax and find your peace. Then everything will be just fine. Tomorrow I'm off to the hospital, Ersta hospital, to finally check my stomach and what's wrong with it. After that I have nothing planned until Christmas Eve. Take care and enjoy the holidays :-)

You would have thought with that name the music should be nice and tender and waltzy ;-) But you couldn't have been more wrong. This opera is so intense, so passionate and yes scary. The music makes you feel so much and many time my heart beated so fast like I was watching a horror movie. The scenography is really just a big red wall and in fr
