Snowstorm


This is how it looks just now from our window at the back of the house. As you can see we are totally snowed-in. But now since the sun came out it's beautiful.
The last 24 hours has been filled with snow, snow and more snow!  This morning there were no buses in traffic in the whole of Stockholm. The subway didn't work on some lines. The commuter train was delayed or withdrawn. Consequently peopel wasn't able to go to work. Even schools had to close because the teachers couldn't come, of course. You couldn't even go by car because the roads weren't cleared and even if they had been able to the wind was so strong that it would have been no use.
So there you once again were told how vulnerable we are against the forces of nature. Luckily we see some sunshine now and the wind has settled.

Otherwise nothing special has happened since I wrote last. I have been ill since last Wednesday really. Sinusitis, a sore throat and fever. I have been working though until Tuesday afternoon, mainly because the annual closing of books and meeting with our auditor. But then I was sent home with orders not to come back until I was feeling well :-)

I do feel better and tomorrow we are going on a 90-year birthdayparty. It's our friends that turns 50 and 40 thus 90 :-) That will be fun.

Hope you all have a great weekend. See you soon. Hugs

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.

On popular demand

I have on popular demand decided to start writing again. I haven't had time to do this blog for a lot of reasons mostly lack of time. There is so much to do and so little time. Since I last wrote there have been a big change and it's my grandson. Yes, I'm a granny now to the most adorable boy, Eddie. He's now 19 months old and I love him to the moon and back. He's my joy and I'm so happy I can see him grow. I have really been there from the moment he was born (almost).  Always on the piano the first thing he do. His parents called me the morning of April 23 last year at 0415AM and said it was time. So I just rushed out of bed, drove to them and then drove them to the hospital. It was a long day before we they called and told us that Eddie was born in the evening. Only 1 1/2 day later I fetched them and drove the new little family home. Since they don't have a car I have driven them where they want to go. The first 6 months were quite difficult wi...

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 ...
