HOT HOT H.E.A.T

We have celebrated Midsummer's Eve here on Friday. It was a lovely day with sunshine and kind of warm around 22C daytime and 12C at night. As the vikings we are we sat outside shivering but if it's summer you sit outside regardless. We were invited to our good friends I and K and our lovely adopted grandchildren Ta and To. All in all we were 18 friends that had met up. I made potatoesalad and brought. You can imagine the bowl. It was huge. I made potatoesalad out of 6 kg fresh potatoes, mayo, sour cream, garlic, italian saladspice, leek and dill. It was very good and all said the same. To that we had grilled meat which K had marinated all day. He had also made this delicious sauce that had been cooking since 8 AM that morning that is almost 12 hours. The first thing though we ate was, of course, sill (herring) in all forms and fresh potatoe with "nubbe" vodka. And of course we sang to every nubbe we took. I don't like and can't eat sill so me and the kids had

Had a very nice day today. My whole work went to Skansen and Grona Lund to enjoy ourselves. First we were teamed up in 10 different teams, ours being the best of course. We named ourselves STTG which means Sjutusantillgäng (kind of hellofagang but not quite). We got a map of Skansen and on that was written, and photographed, 11 or 12 questions that we had to solve by looking them up thus being given the answers. It was really funny but hard. After that which took 2 hours we headed to the amusement park Grona Lund and there we first of all had something to eat. Then we started our fight in 5 different events. This was only a competition amongst the team but we had a lot of fun and laughter. I didn't end up last at least, in fact I won one of them - the bowling. I'm feeling very tired now because it was a long day and we walked practically all the time for 5 hours. So I'm ready for bed and I did skip the dinner and the party tonight at work. I wouldn't have managed other

(The photo shows a wonderful sunset in Varberg) Time really flies and it has been a while since I wrote mainly because since I last wrote I haven't had any time at all to sit down and collect my thoughts. Now I take time although I'm not feeling 100% well. I actually came home Friday after helping O move to his new and permanent home for elderly. While there I had to go shopping a lot for him since the home required that! I felt very dizzy and not my usual self and also when getting back I had to mark all the things I had bought with O's name and also make his bed. I started sweating and couldn't understand what was going on. I snapped at H and he was only being nice. When we returned home I went down to the store to get some things and I started shiver. More so when I returned home and I just took my clothes off and went to bed without dinner or anything. Woke up a bit later hot like a stove. I got up and took the temperature and it hit F 104/C40 so pretty high. I went

Above is a photo of me at the Opera terrace during intermission of the opera Cinderella by Rossini. Me and my friend C went on the premiere of the opera this Saturday. It was really funny and I both laughed and cried (I'm so easily moved both by the music and of course with happy ends that I can't help crying). It's already Wednesday and Sweden Rock festival has started, without me though but of course with H.E.A.T. They will play on Saturday which is great. J went down yesterday with JJ. The rest of the band is coming down today. Don't you know what SRF is? Check this out: www.swedenrock.com. Almost all of the other parents are there but I'm going to Varberg Spa with my sister H and her nurse C. I'm so in need of this. It's like I never was away, although it isn't that long ago I was in LA.
