Christmas shopping

So now I've worked all week and have only 4 working days left at my job. Sad but true. This week has been bittersweet in many ways. There have been a lot of goodbyes probably for the last time but also promises of future gatherings. Today the last class of our college graduated and that was also the end of an era that has lasted for so long. The first school at Rosersberg was the Defence fireschool from 1879 then it turned into Civil defence school from 1961 and 1986 it became SRSA College. So closing down something that has been functioning since 1879 for me seems idiotic but I'm not the one making the decisions.

Today I started (and this is early, I normally shop the day before) Christmas shopping. Both gifts and food! How about that? I managed to shop for our "grandchildren", my sister's son, O and some of my son's gifts. That's an achievement don't you think?
I also bought most of the food and especially the most important item, the HAM. I choose a ham from a small farm in Vaddo where the pigs is outside and they live happily, until they die.

Finally I have to share H.E.A.T's holiday greeting. I love this photo. Thank you H.E.A.T Street Team Scotland for the nice work you're doing.

  1. Jag som tycker att jag önskat mig så mycket! Men jag skulle vilja ha aromamassage också, och det har jag inte sagt till mamma. Finns här i Gävle på Brynäs iaf. Så ni kan ju fundera på det :) Vet inte hur mycket det kostar, men tror inte att det är alltför dyrt. Annars kan jag tänka mig ett bidrag till det. Inga smycken iaf, det tycker jag är så tråkigt :P

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 ...
