Still H.E.A.T-wave and wasps!!!



I think it's not only me that have stopped writing or writes very seldom now. It's summer and time flies and you do other things but sitting in front of a computer. We have been on holiday in Scania and Denmark and returned Sunday evening which was nice. But what wasn't nice is that I yesterday discovered we have a wasp-invasion in our frontgarden and I'm allergic to the monsters :-(( Which means I have to spend almost all my time inside the house when we are home. I hate wasps!!! What good do they do? Nothing I think.
So despite this heatwave, still, we're having I have to be in the house. I have booked a trip to Åbo on Sunday so we will go in an Executive suite with big balcony and hopefully the weather will stay nice and the wasps won't be on the Baltic Sea.

We have had a wonderful week in Scania, a trip we have tried to go on for 20 years but never went on until now. We stayed 3 nights in Helsingborg, rented a car and went on trips alongside the Scania coust. Very very nice. We didn't go by car but took the train. Went in 1 class including food. We had tickets from Stockholm - Helsingborg - Copenhagen - Malmö - Stockholm. All in first class and to a fantastic low price. I paid SEK 594/person all the way. You can't go any cheaper than that I think.

After 3 nights in Helsingborg we took the ferry to Helsingör in Denmark and from there the train to Copenhagen where we stayed 2 nights in a very central hotel. We visited Tivoli, went for walks on Ströget and more.
Then the train over Öresundsbridge, my first over, to Malmö where we stayed for 2 nights at Savoy.
First night we invited my Mom's cousin for dinner at a restaurant by the sea. A wonderful evening with good food, nice company and wine.

So now back home and the wasps. I still have this week and next on holiday and I would have wanted to rent a little house by the sea but it's not easy to find and if you do you have to pay ridiculos prices.

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.
