Julfika med Anna och Jonas

Anna playing our piano.
Christmas coffee today with Anna (Birgit Bidder she's called now but to us she's Anna) an old friend of Jonas from Rytmus. She and Jonas were very good friends and she spent a summer with us at Gotland.

She tried to come here last Christmas because she had bought Hasse and me a Christmas gift (so nice of her) but it never happened but now we got it all together. It was so nice to see her again. It was like 4 or 5 years since we saw her and a lot has happened since.

She's very talanted, like everyone from Rytmus it seems, and has recorded a CD on her own record company (!). She also plays with Erik Hassle, keyboard. I'm very proud of her. She's like an extra daughter since she spent a lot of time here when they went to Rytmus.

Weatherwise it has been a very strange day here. After having had temp. well below zero it suddenly started to rain (!) today and the temp. was up to +3. Now they are saying it will be freezing cold like down to -16C starting tomorrow. What's up with the weather ?!

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 ...
