Christmas tree


Today we decorated our Christmas tree. Isn't it lovely?
I'm pretty pleased anyway.

I thought I was done shopping but no. I had to go out and find Mom a purse. She has been wanting that for a while so I found her one. I hope she likes it.

I have also done Stifado, a greek casserole, that we are going to have for dinner tomorrow. I also did chicken meatballs with bacon inside. I have never done that before and I made them up. They were actually pretty good.

Tomorrow my friends I and K is coming together with our "grandchildren" so you can call it "little Christmas". They are coming for coffee in the afternoon and in the evening J will come and make his famous "kola".
I don't know if D is coming tomorrow night or if he's only going to be here on Christmas Eve. He's welcome whatever he wishes to do.

I also emptied my safety at work today. Went to the bank and put all the money in so now that's gone too. I have to go to work tomorrow though but I won't stay for long.

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 ...
