Election day in Sweden

This morning Hasse and I went down to the polling place to do our civic duty and vote for those who's going to run Sweden the next 4 years. So it's done! I think it's in every persons interest that live in a society to perform their right to vote.
After that we went home and had coffe and some cake, leftovers from yesterday, and chatting about it all.

We had a lovely time yesterday when family and friends came over for coffee and cake. I got some lovely presents. The bling on the photo I got from my dear friend Inger and her family and Claes.

From Helen and her family I got a box. Yes a box with gift certificates for beauty treatments. That is so nice and I love it. I just have to find the time to do it :-)
From Emil I had received a cosy little bear with a card and the most wonderful text where he expressed his love.
Hasse gave me half the ticket to LA where I'm going next year (can't wait). That's really lovely. Then I got flowers from several friends and family too.

Today I also found out that a friends GrandFather had died. He was in a carcrash two weeks ago and at first it seemed like he would do OK but after a week or so they did a EEG and no brainactivity so they shut down all the equipment and last night they were called to the hospital where they sat by his bed until he passed.
There haven't been a day she hasn't been there and I have read her blog where she so lovingly describes her Grandpa and what he has meant to her. I couldn't help shed a tear, although I didn't know him, but I can feel her pain. All my thought goes to her in her deep grief.

    Sv; Tack Mia, du säger alltid så fina och bra saker. Självklart känns det hjärtskärande just nu, men jag kommer alltid ha otroligt fina minnen med mig. Sen är jag övertygad om att han kommer komma och titta till mig lite då och då. ;) Stor kram tillbaka!

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 ...

Weekend with H.E.A.T in London

I just got back late last night from London where I spent the weekend with rock'n roll. My main purpose was of course to see H.E.A.T play at O2 Academy Islington London on Saturday. But why not combi ne that with holiday I thought. So me, my sister H and her daughter B as well as Jona's girlfriend M all went. We stayed at this superluxurious ho tel in Holborn Renaissance Chancery court. We had clubroom which gave us a ccess to a Club lounge that offered complimentary meals like continental breakfast, tea/coffe, drinks throughout the day, evening meal and desserts. In our prize was al so an English breakfast in the Pearl restaurant which ordinary cost £24.50! But it was worth it. On Friday evening we went to see "We will ro ck you" with music by Queen. What a musical!!! They talk about Mamma Mia but this one - I don't know but I it's probably better. I got goosebumps all over when the audience at the end starting singing Bohemian Rhapsody, what a feeling. I co...
