Back home again, final of Clash of the choirs




Yes, I'm back home again after 2 wonderful days together with other chairmen/women from the Rheumatic assocation. It's always nice to meet and discuss matters that are of interest in our association. We also have class today to learn more and get tips about our role as leaders.

Yesterday evening we had dinner at 6.30. Not the best I've ever eaten I must say because the meat was so leathery and thus hard to chew. So no gourmetdinner. But after dinner we went up to the conference department and we had coffe when suddenly two Italian men started playing the theme from Mio my Mio. We had seen the loudspeakers, the keyboard and guitar but we had no idea what to expect. Then they presented Adele Li Puma and those of you that our Swedish I think know who she is. She is born in Sicily but lives in Sweden actually in Upplands Väsby! She sang the most beautiful Italian songs with help from one of the men. Everything from Volare to Gigi (oh I love that song). Then she had us all up dancing (!) and that is not bad if you think that all of us has rheumatic diseases and aches and pains.
I have had so much pain today especially in my neck and back but it was worth it. See photos.

So the rest of the weekend I think I will take it easy and relax since next week will be filled again when I go to Falun for the course and then lunch on Thursday when I get back and to my sister Helen for teeth checkup on Friday. So once again a week when I know what I have to do :-)

Soon the final of the TV-show Clash of the choirs is and I'm going to see it. I love the form this show has. It's actually a Swedish singer, Caroline af Ugglas, that invented the idea and she participated in this show but was voted off a couple of shows ago. Looking forward to this because it's not only the 2 choirs that performs but all choirs are back today to perform.
So I say bye and have a wonderful Saturday evening whatever you do.

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 ...
