ESC, Gondolen




Yesterday H and I had the most wonderful afternoon and evening. H, my sister, gave us a gift that included a 8-course meal including champagne and wines which we had at the Gondolen restaurant high above ground in Stockholm city (see photo). It was a beautiful evening with sunshine and Stockholm from her best side.
The 8-course meal was a tastemenu and we had a small version of them which was good. Everything tasted just wonderful except the veal liver terrine, which mainly was because I don't like liver. Otherwise it was a real gourmet experience both the wines and the food. In fact I got a bit tipsy of all the wine but it was worth it!
We ate for over 3 hours but we had so much to talk about and discuss so time just flew away. THANK YOU so much H for this wonderful gift.
Today we went to see Mom and O because it's Mother's Day here tomorrow and I had bought a lot of clothes for them both and a gift for Mom. They were so happy with the clothes. They thought they all looked very pretty and nice, which made me happy. After visiting them we went to see D and he had made a wonderful applepie with vanilla custard. Yummie!
Tonight it's the final of Eurovision Song Contest and of course I'm going to watch. I hope Sweden wins, of course, but there are some songs I like as well. We have to wait and see what happens.
H.E.A.T is doing well and is on Ginza's 20 top list of most sold albums!
They do need to make a tour because there seems to be a demand for that. So many different nationalities have found their music which is so cool. There are Australians, Brazilians, Germans, Spanish, Americans among others. I do hope things will turn out well and that they will be able to live of their music eventually.
My lucky moment today was that D had made that applepie specially to Mother's Day :-)
My lucky moment yesterday was of course when sitting with my husband, eating this wonderful meal while looking out over the most beautiful capital there is.

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

On popular demand

I have on popular demand decided to start writing again. I haven't had time to do this blog for a lot of reasons mostly lack of time. There is so much to do and so little time. Since I last wrote there have been a big change and it's my grandson. Yes, I'm a granny now to the most adorable boy, Eddie. He's now 19 months old and I love him to the moon and back. He's my joy and I'm so happy I can see him grow. I have really been there from the moment he was born (almost).  Always on the piano the first thing he do. His parents called me the morning of April 23 last year at 0415AM and said it was time. So I just rushed out of bed, drove to them and then drove them to the hospital. It was a long day before we they called and told us that Eddie was born in the evening. Only 1 1/2 day later I fetched them and drove the new little family home. Since they don't have a car I have driven them where they want to go. The first 6 months were quite difficult wi...

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...
