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!!!

Magic numbers 111111. Think about it - it's 100 years til next time and then none of us will be here. Other than that nothing much happened today. Had a meeting and then I went to the opticians and my sight was not what it used to be so I will get new glasses next week. I have also cooked prime rib in red wine the whole afternoon and it's so tender and smells delicious. Danniel and Emil is coming over for dinner tomorrow since Sunday is Father's Day here in Sweden.

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...

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.
