First week completed

 5 year-celebration at work

My first week at my new job is completed. It has been a great and tiring week :-)
I started on Tuesday and left home at 8.05 AM and arrived 9 AM that is 55 minutes to go. So after talking to my neighbour I left the following morning at 7AM and arrived at work 7.17 AM. So from that day I will start early and miss the traffic, not that I miss it :-).
Our cook who grilled to perfection
 Anyway day 1 I just got to know the others and everyone is very nice and quite young. We eat at work all together between 11-12 at least those who are in. So now I bring my own food. It's much cheaper than buying. One funny thing is that each Monday one of us cooks for the others and then score the dishes. That's nice and I think a good way to get new ideas. God knows one need that from time to time.
Me and Rose, who I'm replacing, went shopping for the party we had yesterday. It was to be a playful party since the firm celebrated 5 years. So we bought beachtennissets, badmintonsets and napcotsets as well as frisbees. One of each we put in a bag together with a check for icecream and a lotteryticket. Then they had to fish the bags (like you did when you were little).
We also had coffee and cake but of course there were drinks for adults as well. Outside we had a popcorn-machine like in tivolis and we had funny competitions like basket, hammering, frisbeethrowing all in all 5.
Giftbags ready to be fished :-)
Today I have been home because I worked so many hours yesterday I had already filled my quote.
Just want to show you a photo of my room. I really like it and it's big and airy.
We are soon on our way to a surpriseparty for our "grandchild" that returns home after 5 months in Australia and New Zealand. It will be lovely to see her again.
Have a nice evening everyone :-)

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 ...
