Back on track :-)

I'm finally back home again - timewise that is. I had jetlag until Saturday which means I had trouble sleeping at night. Woke up several times in the beginning once every hour but fewer as the week progressed.
Also dizziness, a tendency to fall asleep which wasn't very good since I started working on Monday.

Anyway went on and on Friday I once again packed a bag to attend a conference with the Rhematic districtboard at a little hotel in Gustavsberg called Blå Blom (Blue flowers). It was a good conference and the first time I met everyone of the board. Then on Saturday I headed home in the afternoon, shopping on the way because we had all boys including Mandy and my sis Helen and her daughter over for a BBQ since it was Emil's birthday on Monday (9th). Very nice and very good.

Then Sunday I had a couple of girls over for a make-up course. That is we get to try on ourselves to put on a make-up and we had a blast and we were so beautiful afterwards :-)
I made a rhubarbcake with vanilla sauce which we had with some coffee. A very nice way to spend a Sundayafternoon.

So yesterday it was Emil's birthday and he turned 24! Can you believe that my youngest is 24? And I'm still 29 ;-) How does that work?

Tomorrow I'm attending a course in Uppsala with my job. It's about insurances and pensions :-) Should be fun to learn more about that area.

Then Thursday I'm invited to dinner by the Rheumatic association in Sollentuna (as I'm no longer their chairman)
And finally on Friday I'm off to the Opera to see Don Pasquale. So a week filled with work and pleasure. As it should be.

And the weather has improved and the last 2 days we have had nice temperatures around 20-24C.
Hope it will stay that nice.

Have a nice week and weekend and take care!

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.
