Weekend is over

Saturday I went to my good friend I for dinner with her, K and T. Their son (our "adoptive" grandson) stayed overnight with H and I was suppose to stay overnight at their house after being at the club.
We had a wonderful dinner which K had made, homemade bearnaisesauce, grilled vegetables, grilles oxfillet and pomme duchesse. It was gorgeous and to that we was served wine.
For dessert crepes filled with berries stirred with chocolate. Topped with chocalate and grilled in the oven and served with icecream, yummie.

After that around 10.30 PM it was time to go to the club which is just a couple of hundred meters from their house. Inside there were so many people and I think I knew most of them. Why did we go there? Well, it was H.E.A.T's gig in homage to their hometown.
They had support by a band called Denied who played metal and it was very hard and I didn't like it.
Finally around midnight H.E.A.T took the stage and it was so crowded and so warm. I had a big man standing next to me and he was heavy on me, on the other side was another guy and I said to him. Don't move becuase if you do I will fall and everyone else will fall over. It was that crowded. You had to use your muscles to stand otherwise it was so hard.
The concert was great and even though Kenny was ill, he had a cold, and had slept just before he outsings most rocksingers anyway. That's really an achievement. Below is a link to them performing Feel the heat

I didn't get home until 4.15AM ( we changed to summertime that night and lost an hour)
So yesterday I slept a lot and just chilled.

Today I've been to my former work for a meeting with all of us that hasn't got new jobs. We were quite a few actually and you can tell the job market isn't that well at the moment. A consequence of course to the present crisis.

It's really hard. There have been head hunters that have called me and told me I have just the competence they need and they have talked about the job and so on and when I asked how many percent it is they sound very surprised and says fulltime of course. I then have to tell them that on my CV and my personal letter it says I can only work 50%. Everyone up til now have then said that I'm not interesting because they need people on fulltime :-(
So it seems very hard to get a job with only 50% worktime. They don't know me so they don't know that my capacity is very high and on my 50% I can manage almost 75%. They also don't know that if I work 50% I stay relatively healthy but as soon as I increase that I get worse in my diseases.

People often ask me about H.E.A.T's CD if I have it at home and can I get it autographed. I think I see less of them than the ones attending their concerts. I maybe see one or two of them but all 6 at the same time is rare. Although I'm mother to one of them I have to stay in line like anyone else to get my CD's, posters or t-shirts autographed. I don't even see much of him now either since they have a lot of gigs. That's the hard truth. So I'm sorry if I can't help you.
It's better if you write them yourself. Go to their website: heatsweden.com and send them a mail asking them if they can sign for you.

In some rare cases I have taken my own autographed copies (which I have stood in line to get) and given them to the person. It has been to a very sick child, or someone that has done something extra and is a big fan but mostly I have tried to help children that are big fans.
But my stock is nearly empty now so I have to buy some new ones and try to get them signed :-)

Take care all of you out there and be nice to each other :-)

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 ...
