Swedish National Day June 6

I know I have been bad writing my blog but you have to excuse me since my new job takes a lot of my time (of course). So much to learn and I really want to do the most of it while Rose is still there. It's such a blessing to have an experienced, both in routines and economics at this firm to help me get into things as quick as possible.

But it hasn't happened that much since I wrote last time ;-) Or maybe it has? I went to the hairdresser and dyed my hair darker. I have also been to Norrtälje to my friend for lunch and treatments which was high time and I felt so much better afterwards.

Swedish flag, a wonderful sight this day

Mandy graduating

Then on Friday Jonas girlfriend Amanda graduated so we, Jonas and me went to her reception and I met all her relatives for the first time (or most of them).

Today it's Sweden's National Day and I went to our local celebration here in Upplands Väsby and you can't guess who was the 2009 Honorary Väsbyresidents? Hard one, hey ;-)
H.E.A.T!! And this is really a great honour. It's almost like getting the key to the town from the mayor (to compare with USA)
H.E.A.T played in Copenhagen, Denmark last night and had no chance to get to the festivities in time so
their driver Kent was there to receive the award on their behalf. Of course I was there too :-) And the chief of Information of our municipality spotted me and wanted me on stage as well so I went up.

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...

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 ...

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.
