Lillejul

I'm just home from Lillejul, the last one, or is it? I have tried to put on a video here for you to see a little bit of the spectacular fireworks we had tonight. They have been competing in the World Championship for fireworks and they have had this tradition that every year they come and do this on our Christmas party in thanks of them lending our training field.

We had a wonderful time starting with "Xmas-gifts" which delivers to those who has stood out during the year. Always funny and lots of laughs. After that it was the fireworks and then we all headed up to the restaurant for more amusement and dinner. We had a lovely fillet with roasted garlic potatoes and wine sauce. Excellent! Then coffee. During dinner of course a lot of singing as always which is nice and also a short speach from our head of school. We also had this HUGE Christmas tree. I think it was over 4 meters high and wonderfully decorated.

It was both happy and sad to be here today. Happy because it's promised that we will have a summer party. 2 of my collegues are taking over the restaurant and will keep in touch. So we can still come for lunch in the future.

Sad because many of us won't see each other again. We have worked together for many years several of us and then suddenly it's over. It's like a divorce or a death. You must allow yourself to grieve if you feel you have to.

Tomorrow is another day and I have to get up and work. Last woman standing or something like that :-) As always sleep well and sweet dreams. Enjoy the fireworks.

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
