Second Christmas in Gavle

Yesterday we returned home after being in Gavle for 3 days celebrating both Christmas and birthdays.

We had a lovely time. When we came on Christmas Day we had to split our family into two different sleeping arrangement. We are quite a big lot. So me, J and M slept at G's place and E and H slept with St and Le. But we all had our meals at St's and Le's place. First day G had made food and we had a wonderful Chili con carne followed by a chocolate cake with whipped cream. Yummie! The younger ones of the family played card and had a lot of fun because we heard lots of laughs.

After that we had glogg and gave gifts which was popular of course. Everyone seemed happy except for O who I had bought a sweater for and it was way too large. Wrong size! I don't know how that happened because I know his size. I blame it on the Christmas stress, lol.

Time flies when you're

having fun so at midnight we went to G's flat to sleep. Next day Boxing Day it was sale all over Gavle so we all went down to do some heavy shopping and yes I ended up buying three tops and a very nice perfume.

In the afternoon G gave me chiropractic treatment and massage. The first part hurt because as usual my pelvis was rotated but she managed to get it much better. The massage afterwards was dreamlike. She's so good at it.

Then back to St and Le's house for dinner which was minute steak casserole with pasta. Very good! And then we celebrated everyone that had had birthday or will have in a near future. That was 3, St had birthday December 1, Le December 30 and H their son on January 4.
So singing and cheering for them.

Then our tradition took place. We almost always plays TP when we are all together and this time was no exception. We were 3 teams - girls, the young boys and the older men. Lots of laughter and fun and who do you think won?
After a hard match the girls was winner of course :-)

Yesterday we came home at 1PM and immediately changed to go to the theater with our good friends K, Ja, A and Jo. K and Ja fetched us by car and we went to the city of Stockholm where we first had dinner at London restaurant. After that we headed to the theater Stadsteatern at Sergels torg where we had coffee before the theater. We saw Cabaret with Helena Bergstrom, Richard Wolff, Siw Malmqvist and Sven Wollter. Very good and very long.

Today a quiet day before work tomorrow.

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.

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here. On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues.
