Back home again, H.E.A.T to Japan


I'm home again after a very rewarding weekend at Bommersvik in Sörmland. We were all in all around 60 people incl. children but in different languages so our Swedish group consisted of 8 wonderful people. In fact 4 of us was from our own Rheumatic association in Sollentuna-Upplands Väsby-Sigtuna and it was really good to experience and be given the same education.

Our leader, Janne, was just great and set the tone by doing a new thing, for me, at the presentation. We had to, with our "wrong" hand, draw a picture of the person in front of us - called a blindsketch. That is we went up to someone, presented us with our name and then started drawing but only allowed to look at the other person, not on the paper. Boy was this difficult and boy did that break the ice. We then sat in a ring and we had to choose two drawing - one that represented what we thought other saw us and one how we saw ourselves. Then tell the others why and also tell something about ourselves. Very good excercise that immediately "opened" up the group and from there it just got better.

The weather was also on our side at least yesterday and the views were stunning, look at the photo. We were really in the countryside and it was so peaceful and calm.
Thank you everyone that shared so willingly of yourself and made this weekend to what it was - a great one :-))

Tonight I went to Jonas flat and there were Sofie and Mandy as well. So nice to meet them and I got big warm hugs from them all. I just love them! The reason to why I wanted to go over was to first of all give Jonas all the washed clothes that Hasse had been washing all day and also to say goodbye before they leave for Japan. I wish them all a good trip and lots of fun.

Tomorrow it's time to work again so I'd better hit the bed soon. Sweet dreams and Bon Voyage

    Tvättar inte Jonas själv? Eller har han ingen tvättmaskin.

    Han har varit på turné och glömt beställa tvättid. Han kom hem i lördags natt och skulle vara färdig, packad och klar söndag och ingen tvättid. Därför hjälpte farfar till.
    Normalt sett så tvättar han naturligtvis själv (men han har ingen tvättmaskin utan går till tvättstugan) :-)
    Nu är han på väg till Japan. Kram

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.
