Monday and workday

It seems like the weekends go so fast. It's Friday and then it's Monday. We have had a standstill at my work now, on the computer program I work in, since last Tuesday! It's crazy and I haven't been able to do hardly anything. That's really a waste of workforce I think. I mean why couldn't they have done that in the summer when noone hardly uses the programs. No, in the middle of hectic work they (the head office) decides that we shall upgrade. I certainly hope the program will work tomorrow because my work has been building up.
It has been a very warm almost day almost like thunder in the air. I woke up with a heahache and haven't been able to get rid of it.
There is a lot of action going on right now. Both here in Upplands Väsby but also at my work in Rosersberg. This is due to the big conference on Iraq which is held here and the reception afterwards is held at Rosersberg's castle which is where I work. Well, not at the castle itself although I used to sit in the Frökenflygeln (the Miss's wing) which was very special. In my room I had a tile stove made by the famous Marieberg. It was just lovely with all the atmosphere that was between those walls. At nights when I worked late I could even here someone walking around (no one left except me) which was kind of scary.
It used to be the home of Queen Desideria, who was the first Queen of the house of Bernadotte. It still is the King's castle although he doesn't use it that much but on the reception for all the delegates he will attend.
There are so many polices both there and here and the security is very high. For instance they will shut down a road and a bridge and we will not be able to drive where we usually do. Well, I hope everything goes well.
My lucky moment today sitting outside having tea in the afternoon enjoying the beautiful weather.

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...

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 ...

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.
