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

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.

On popular demand

I have on popular demand decided to start writing again. I haven't had time to do this blog for a lot of reasons mostly lack of time. There is so much to do and so little time. Since I last wrote there have been a big change and it's my grandson. Yes, I'm a granny now to the most adorable boy, Eddie. He's now 19 months old and I love him to the moon and back. He's my joy and I'm so happy I can see him grow. I have really been there from the moment he was born (almost).  Always on the piano the first thing he do. His parents called me the morning of April 23 last year at 0415AM and said it was time. So I just rushed out of bed, drove to them and then drove them to the hospital. It was a long day before we they called and told us that Eddie was born in the evening. Only 1 1/2 day later I fetched them and drove the new little family home. Since they don't have a car I have driven them where they want to go. The first 6 months were quite difficult wi...

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 ...
