Sunday September 5

Only 10 days left to my birthday. Not a big deal, I will be 56, but I love celebrations, gifts and thoughts. The more the better :-) I think we all do deep inside even though some say they don't bother.
I was taught by the greatest - My Mother. She always celebrated us both birthdays and namesdays and she too, of course, wanted the same back. So we really had, and still do, to remember her names and birthday, which we did, of course, with joy. When I was little I used to lie in bed waiting for my family to come in and sing. It was so hard going to sleep the night before and I always woke up so early. Then I could here them whisper before opening the door singing Happy Birthday. Breakfast in bed with cake and presents. Those days were the best.

Nowadays I don't like eating breakfast in bed. Too many crumbes and not nice to sleep on. I do want to be celebrated with a nice breakfast, presents and much love. For me this is so important so I try to see to it that I remember to congratulate everyone I know. If only with a greeting via email or sms. My friends and family I give gifts of course and that depends on how many years they will be and what they are interested in.
The best is to finding out the perfect gift for each person and then see how happy they are when they open them. It isn't the most expensive gift that is the most dear to my heart. It's when the person really have tried to give something personal. That shows real love and interest.

I didn't make the crayfishparty yesterday because I woke up with fever and a sore throat so I stayed in and took it slow as I have today. Feeling better now and I will go to work tomorrow. Can't miss a Monday and a good lunch :-)

I can also tell you that H.E.A.T have recorded some demos with their new singer Erik G. I haven't heard it yet but I'm sure it sounds great :-)

Have a good week and I'll talk to you soon

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.
