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!

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 ...
