Happy New Year 2010


We had a very quiet and traditional New Year celebration with our good friends and their kids (our adopted grandchildren).

They arrived at 6PM and we had a welcome drink, of course Champagne which was good. Then we had asparagus soup with broschetta and main course was fillet of beef gratin with mushrooms, whinesauce, västerbottencheese and mashed potatoes (everything homemade of course) Til that I served mixed sallat. For dessert I had made my famous cheesecake which tastes like vanilla icecream.

After coffee time was almost 11.40 and we had to prepare for the stroke of 12. Glasses had to be carrid upstairs, champagne had to be opened and everyone had to dress warm. It was around -8C and we always stands on our balcony where we have the most gorgeous view over Upplands Väsby and all the way in to Stockholm. This year it was a bit snowy so not that good view but quite enough. We never have any fireworks ourselves. There are plenty to see since we have 180 degree vision.

I don't know if any of us gave any New Year resulotions. Did you?
The only real one I ever gave was to quit smoking which I did on January 6, 1997 and haven't tasted one since. I think it's a bit like alcoholists or any addiction for that matter. Once you stop you can't taste it again without getting back. So I call myself a nonsmoking smoker.
For all of you who did gave a resolotion I wish you luck and hope you succeed.

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.

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here.  On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...

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...
