Dramatic Hairspray and putting up Christmas decorations




Yesterday me and my sister Helen went to see the musical Hairspray. It was Helen's birthdaygift to me. It all started with me getting my teeth fixed and polished. No cavity in any tooth :-)
Then I took a strole through Kungsträdgården and then NK while I was waiting for Helen to come back after taking her dog home.
Then we met at Berns for dinner. It was asiatic theme and very good 3-course meal. After that we went under the street (!) and reached the theatre which is situated just beside the restaurant.
We were so looking forward to the musical which we had heard was hilarious.
A bit into the first act people suddenly started to stand up just two rows in front of us. We thought, what are they doing in the middle of the act. They were blocking our view as well as everyone's behind us. First one woman stood up and a man went out of the row. Then another woman started to walk out as well. Of course their places were in the middle of that row so they had to pass many. The second woman were just leaving the row when she started to vobble and then just fell out and flat on the floor thus loosing her glasses, her shoes and just layed there. Many people rushed to the scene, at least 10, and even staff came. I said to Helen no need for us to go as well, that might be too much for her.
Then one man rushed out and said they had to call an ambulance. She was still lying still unconscious. All the time this was going on the musical, dancing and singing continued. Rather macabre if you ask me. We couldn't concentrate on the musical at all.
At last 6 or 8 people carried her out of the theatre in await of the ambulance.

The play continued for about 10 minutes, then came someone up on stage and said there was a tecnical problem and they had to pause the show for a while.
During this pause came a woman and collected all the belongings from the woman and her company. And then a couple of minutes later the show continued.

I have never ever experienced something like that in a theatre and the thoughts were with that lady and her company long after they were gone. Eventually we could enjoy the performance again and in act 2 we had some very good laughs and at the end everyone stood up dancing.

Today we have been decorating and putting up Christmas stuff. It's so nice and everything get so much brighter although it's dark outside. But today we actually saw the sun, for about 10 minutes, then she was gone again.
I have also made safronbuns and they were very good :-)

On Thursday I had lunch with my very best friend Inger at her house. She had made a wonderful dish with chicken and vegetables. We had a long, wonderful talk. She's such a positive person though she has been through more than many. We can talk about everything even hard and deep thoughts as well as giggle over jokes. You can be yourself in her company and that's really what you need from a friend. I have a few friends like that and I treausure them so much.

Tomorrow we are going to eat Christmas smorgasbord at Rosersberg's castle together with our friends Kitte and Janne. It's Janne's birthday gift from us. We always do that whenever some of us have birthday. But you who read my blog knews that by now, don't you?
This time we thought since it's 1 advent tomorrow it would be nice to eat at the castle. Below is a photo of the castle like it looks today (minus the snow but possibly rain)
To everyone I wish a joyful 1 Advent :-)

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 ...
