3 days left......


 Today it's only 3 days left to Firefest in Nottingham and me seeing H.E.A.T with their new leadsinger Erik for the first time. I'm very excited since I have seen some videos from the gig in Germany and it promises to be very good!!

But first things first. On Friday evening me and my good friend Carina went to the grand opening of Andrea Chénier at the Royal Opera. Many celebrities enjoyed together with us this wonderful opera. I had never heard of it before and I wasn't pleasantly surprised. It's set during the French revolution and in the first scene there is a big party with the nobility when suddenly lots of poor people come and they take the servant Gérard with them and he becomes one of the leaders of the revolution. Andrea Chénier who is a poet falls in love with the daughter of the house and of course Gérard also are in love with her. You get the picture. Beautiful music, a great tenor and soprano and a devine conductor. All in all a wonderful premier.

The day after I was off early to see Mom. She wasn't at her best and didn't recognize me at first. It's hard when your mother doesn't know your name or who you are. But I chatted and told her about my visit to her cousin and talked a lot about old days and gradually she started talking. We laughed a lot but I'm not totally convinced she knew who I was because when I left she said: Bye my little mother.

Tomorrow I have a boardmeeting with the Rheumatic assocation and then Thursday I really need to pack.
Helen is coming over and she will stay the night because we need to be at Arlanda at 6.15 at the latest.
So a weekend full of rockmusic awaits me, Helen and everyone else. Great!!!

I will of course try to take a lot of photos as well as film the event :-)
Take care and I'll talk to you later....

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...

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.

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 ...
