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 The commuter train was delayed or withdrawn.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

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 ...
