Los Angeles and La Mirada

I arrived to Los Angeles later than supposed. We were almost an hour late and then the customs and immigrations took forever. But luckily Norbert were there waiting to pick me up and drive me home.

I was tired, of course, after 20 hours of travelling and before I hit the bed I had been up for 27 or something hours. So after chatting, watching American Idol I went to bed and was asleep I think before my head hit the pillow :-) After 10 hours sleep I was good to go again.

Thursday I spent at home relaxing, enjoying the sunshine and the warm weather. Today Friday I went with Jo to her school in her great car. It was an interesting day with 24 kids that had a hard time being quiet for more than 2 seconds :-) As the day went on it became warmer and warmer so mid day we had 28C and sunshine! How about that? It was a bit hard for me not being used to those temperatures so shorts and tank top on.
Sat out in the garden listening to a book. Took an orange from the orange tree and ate :-)

I will try to put some photos here but not today. Have fun and take care :-)

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.

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 ...
