Nottingham it is :-)

Yes, I will actually be going to Nottingham with my sister and I'm very excited about it. I have booked a flight from Arlanda to Heathrow and then train to Nottingham from London St Pancras Intl. I have to book a taxishuttle from Heathrow to St Pancras though but that I will do when it gets closer.
The hotel where everyone is staying was of course full already so I booked at Hilton. Then I went to Tripadvisor and when I saw the photos and read the stories from that hotel I cancelled my reservation. Dirty, mould on windows and bathroom, bad views and not at all Hiltonstandard. So I booked at Crowne Plaza instead and hopefully it will be allright. It's closer to the venue and closer to the hotel where the others stay.

I have been working now for two weeks already and it's fun. I really like it. This Monday it was my turn to cook for the others. I think I have told you about our "competition". Every Monday one of us cook for the others and then we got to grade the different dishes after each 10-week period. You don't win any price just the honour.
I made a "small crayfishparty" consisting of pie with Västerbottencheese (Jo and Marv it was the cheese I brought last time I was over) and fresh potatoes. On top I had crayfish tails and shrimps garnished with fresh dill. To go with this a big sallad with avocados, fetacheese, red onion, sallad, tomatoes, cucumber and squeezed lemon. They really liked it and so did I :-) Sorry I don't have a photo but I have at work.

Also this week was Helen's birthday on Sunday. We went to Mom and celebrated her so that Mom also could join in. We bought cake and had coffee and chatted away. Very nice.

Yesterday I was in Norrtälje and visited my good friend Anne for our usual lunch and treatment. It's always so nice to meet her and we always have a lot to talk about.

Today I went to the hairdresser and had my hair cut because tomorrow I'm going to attend the Christening of Mandy's sister Johannas babyboy who will have the name Love. I'm driving Jonas as well. Speaking of Jonas and H.E.A.T - no news about new singer yet. Hopefully they will have a new singer shortly. I will let you know as soon as I get the news.

I hope you all will have a wonderful weekend with lots of sunshine and NO WASPS!!!

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
