Upplands Väsby under siege, TV4, H.E.A.T

This week and especially yesterday and today we are under siege. Why? Because there is this big conference on Iraq that is held here in Upplands Väsby just a couple of hundred meters from my home. The general secretary of UN, the foreign minister from Iraq and USA's Condoleesa Rice is here together with 600 other delegates from 90 delegations. It's total chaos in Stockholm and here. Street has been closed down and are now guarded by 1700 polices (at least that's a figure they mention here). I'm going down to do my shopping and hopefully I will be able to but you can't be sure because there are also demonstrations going on. Tonight they are all going to Rosersberg's castle (where I work) for dinner or maybe just mingle, I really don't know, with the King. They will close off the area around the castle at noon, which should be right about now. So even we who works there need permission to go inside. They have built this huge floor as well as a house on the back of the castle at Hogland's terrace. They (I don't know who they are) have also placed so called "Bajamajor" which is a kind of toilet that can be moved. But they are not near the onces we "ordinary" people uses on concerts and so on. These ones are huge and smell good.
It's kind of fun that our little tiny suburb are being in the middle of attention like this although it does influence your daily life.
Yesterday I was at an interview for a job. I put out my CV on some jobsites on internet and this Monday one recruiting company called and wanted me in for a jobinterview after seeing my CV on one of the sites. I put it out there because I thought it would be hard for me getting a new job. As I've said before my job is closing down December 31 and I will get notice so I thought I'd better do something now if it would take long before finding a new one.
Anyway I went there and she was very nice and they were very interested. In fact she wanted me to have that job but I hesitated. I wasn't really prepared yet so I said in the autumn. She will call back then. The pay they offered were 3.500 SEK more than I have now (I only work half-time due to my Sjogren's) which is very good.
H.E.A.T is rehearsing now and next week it's time for Sweden Rock festival. I hope it will be their breakthrow on a big front. I so much would like to see them on TV perhaps Sommarkrysset on TV4. That would be great!! A tip for you TV4 :-)
My lucky moment today was really yesterday after being on the interview.
Now I'm going for a walk with Hilma in the lovely weather.
Just wanted to show you this photo which shows the kind of light we are having now at 10PM. But it's still getting lighter so I will take a new one in two weeks time so you can see the difference. Isn't this light though?

Magic numbers 111111. Think about it - it's 100 years til next time and then none of us will be here. Other than that nothing much happened today. Had a meeting and then I went to the opticians and my sight was not what it used to be so I will get new glasses next week. I have also cooked prime rib in red wine the whole afternoon and it's so tender and smells delicious. Danniel and Emil is coming over for dinner tomorrow since Sunday is Father's Day here in Sweden. Jonas is in the studio in Kungälv with H.E.A.T recording their first album with Erik Grönwall as singer :-) We are so excited to see and hear the outcome of this. I'm totally sure it will supergood!!

A special big congratulation to my niece Monica in Barcelona ...

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here.  On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...

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.
