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.

Oh my God

The Christmas smorgasbord I just realized I haven't written anything since November 23! But I can tell you I haven't been lazy but there has been so much going on that I haven't had the strength to write. I had meetings that week and I was supposed to be at a conference hotel for lunch that Friday but I was to tired I had to cancel it. So instead I baked safron buns (!) and made chocolate troufles with ginger.  The ferry On December 1 it was Staffan's birthday (Hasse's oldest son) and I worked and worked at my job. Thursday I and Hasse were supposed to go to the theatre and see Come again Charlie, which was one of my birthday presents - thank you Pär and Brita. But Hasse wasn't feeling well so instead I asked Linnea, my bonus grand daughter if she wanted to go and she was very happy that I asked. We had a really good time and the play, which was a comedy, was funny but also with a message which made you laugh and then stop. It was about the si...

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.

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 ...
