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 :-)

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
