Vote for H.E.A.T

Once again you can vote for H.E.A.T at the Swedish metal awards. They are nominated in the catagory hardrock (of course) www.swedishmetalawards.com

It has been a quiet Friday and weekend which was nice. Well, quiet and quiet. I did most of the Christmas baking on Saturday so from 9.30AM until 6PM I made saffronbuns, lussekatter, different kind of cookies as well as making dinner.

Friday I went to the Opera for our final opera this season which wasn't an opera but a ballet. The Nutcracker by Tjajkovskij. A wonderful saga set in the Swedish Christmas and with Petter and Lotta and the aunts Green, Brown and Lilac as well as Uncle Blue (from a Swedish saga by Elsa Beskow). It was wonderful and funny and there were a lot of kids in the audience.
Before the ballet me and C went to the Opera restaurant for dinner which was excellent. We had beef for main course and for desert Oscar II cake and we had a glass of wine.

Today I was down visiting my Mom and O at the elderly home. I did some shopping for them. As always O wants me to buy the newspapers for him and also som beer for him to drink at the meals. I called D earlier asking him if he wanted to come too so when I was done shopping I went to his place and fetched him. I brought some lussekatter that I baked yesterday and D had made
soft gingerbreadcake which was very good. So first we fetched O at his ward and then we went to Mom. We had a lovely coffeetime and chat. Mom is getting worse and it's often very hard to know what she means. At least she recognize us although she often doesn't remember our names.

Did I say I had a quiet weekend? Now after writing this I don't know if I had?! What do you think?

Tomorrow I'm going to get my award for working 30 years in the service of the Swedish state.
Can you believe that? I'm going to get a goldwatch. I was thinking of a goldmedal but I will buy the smaller goldmedal which everyone who has received the NOR is intitled to.
It's quite sad though that I get it now when we are about to close down. This means that tomorrow everyone that has worked 25-29 years also receive the same honor and that is because when an authority is closing down different rules apply. We are also thanking and giving away the gifts you normally get when you leave our work and that is a painting after 5 years and a beautiful handmade glassbowl after 10 years and we are so many that have achieved that so the whole afternoon tomorrow is dedicated to that.
Normally it's very festive but this time we have to do it like this which I think is sad.

Then Tuesday it's time for the traditional Lillejul, the last one ever :-(, (little Christmas) and it will be the biggest fireworks ever. So if you are anywhere near Rosersberg December 16 at around 6.30-7PM you may see this.

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. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...
