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?

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.

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 ...
