4th Advent



It's getting closer to Xmas by the day and today I wrapped all the Xmasgifts. That's hard work but fun and I put on Xmas CD's to get in the mood. It worked.

My sister J wrote yesterday and wanted me to have photos of the dishes I make but we ate it too fast I didn't have time but I did manage to take a photo of some of the things I have baked. It's safronbuns, chocalatecookies, oatmealcookies and gingerbread biscuits.

This is also the shortest day of the year and the longest night but we actually had sunshine today for the first time in a very long time. I went out with Hilma for a walk which was nice. It was high fresh brisk air. Wonderfully easy to breathe.

Tomorrow work again then home to put up the Christmas tree and decorate it. Because on Tuesday our adopted "grandchildren" T and T is coming over with I and K. We are having coffe and my homemade cookies and buns and then of course Christmas gifts for the children.
In the evening the big boys will come home. I don't know about D yet but J and E is certainly coming and staying the night so they can have their first Christmas gift in the morning. That is tradition. Another very nice tradition we have is that J always they day before Christmas make our toffee for Christmas. He is so good at it! I make the last preparations with the ham and then - we have the best meal in the night when you have the newly baked ham with a Wasa bread or Leksand with lots of mustard and to go with it - julmust. That's heavenly.

But for now it's going to bed early that is the goal so I will wake up and go to work - last 4 days now.

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 ...
