The living singing Christmas tree

I just came home from Stockholm where I saw the living singing Christmas tree in Filadelfia church with friends from the Rheumatic association. I had no idea until yesterday that I was going there but one of the girls called me and asked if I could go because her daughter that would have gone couldn't. So I said yes because this is a thing I have wanted to see for so long. This year it's 20th celebration and both my boys saw it when they were in school.

And it was all I expected! All the wonderful songs of Christmas both old times and modern. They had the story of the birth of Jesus, of course, but they also had a figure skater on stage, hiphop, rock and of course little children. It was wonderful and just what you needed the 1st Advent.

I came home and H and E had som glogg and gingerbread to go. I didn't want to have any since I'm going to work tomorrow.

This is the last day of November so what happens now when the Nablopomo month is over?
Is there time in December to write every day? I doubt it but I will try to keep it up and I hope my other family members do that too.

Early bed for me today. My new medication makes me sleep for so long so I have to go to bed at 9PM to be able to wake up at 5AM.

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 ...
