Meeting cousins

I must share with you when J met his Spanish cousins for the first time.
They live in Barcelona or rather just outside the city. I started talking to them on Facebook since I have never met them either nor my sister in Spain.

I then told them about H.E.A.T coming to Barcelona and play. They at once said they wanted to meet him so finally we could arrange for them to be on the guestlist and also meet J before the gig.
From what I have been told both from S and from J and A they got along very well. If you look at the photos I think you can see the family resemblance especially on the photo of J and S.











I wish I could have been there too but having been in London last week and going to New York Thursday morning I couldn't afford it. I could gladly have been to every place they are playing. Mom like a groupie, how about that? :-)

As I said I'm going to New York Thursday morning and we have to be at the airport around 5AM which is very early!! So tomorrow evening L is coming here to stay over and then we are off. I must say it will be wonderful. It has been a lot since I came home from London.

Just today I was told that the course I was going to attend in Gothenburg the first week in February had been cancelled. Panic! I had already booked and paid for the hotelroom as well as for the trainticket and they are not refundable. So the whole day I have been on the phone and on the net trying to find something else. I also had an interview today with a recruiting database which went well.

I did manage to find education! Which was passed by the foundation that pays. So I'm still going to Gothenburg on February 1 but only for 2 days. Then I found another course in Stockholm with the rest of the course 3 days. This is an intensive course of 5 days.

I hope to one day soon go to Barcelona and visit my nieces and sister but I would prefer if my other sister J in USA would come too. We are having a bit of languageproblems and I think it would be easier if we all met at the same time. So how about it J? Will I see you here this summer?

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 ...
