Home again

The photos are from Gotland. The first one is our house from the beach. The other ones is me, Jonas, Emil, Mandy and Hasse in our house or at Majstregården, at Hoburgsgubben and one is the beautiful sunset at our beach with Hilma and two swans. Peaceful and relaxing, don't you think.




We are home again after 10 glorius days in our summerhouse in Gotland. We have had the best weather I think. It only rained for a couple of hours last Thursday of course when we were in Visby but otherwise sunshine, the sea and calm.
I love to hear the sounds from the sea. For me that is so relaxing. I don't know what it is but a sea or an ocean is always fascinating be storm or calm. I never loose interest of watching it. Maybe it's because I don't live near the sea all the time. Maybe it's because one of my biggest dreams is to live by the sea. I hope I will in 5 or 10 years time.
This time we didn't do much, I mean in terms of going around the island to explore. We did that when Jonas and Mandy was with us but then we have just been relaxing. I have read 6 books, 5 of them being mystery novels taking place in Gotland. They are by Mari Jungstedt and I really loved them (can you say that about murders?)

Tomorrow me and Helen are going to the cemetery to lay Olle's remains to rest. We will be there at 0930 AM and a janitor will meet us by the grave with the urn.

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...

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 ...

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.
