Long holiday

Here in Sweden we have an extra long holiday now. Starting Thursday when we celebrated Ascension Day, then Friday we were off work because it was day between two holidays and tomorrow it's the Swedish NationalDay and we're all free from work.

So Friday Hasse and I went on a cruise to Åbo. We really had a great time. Having booked an executive suite we got to go onboard before everyone else and we also had a huge cabin and the biggest balcony ever. We love this suite and have had it before and once you have been in it you don't want anything else :-)




Some photos from our cruise. I actually got to meet a longtime friend on Facebook, Scott, who lives in Australia. He's a big H.E.A.T fan and was here in Europe in 2008 or 2009 watching them gig several times. He's now visiting again and of all places he was onboard the same ship as I. The chance of meeting him with
20000 people on board wasn't big BUT when Hasse and I was standing in the bar chatting about what drinks to buy (I did buy a coco Margarita :-) ) I suddenly saw him and said Scott? and he said Mia and then we started chatting. He was so nice and we had a really good long talk.
As we stood there talking this photographer came and took this photo. I think it's quite good. We all look happy and cheerful, and we were.
On the way back we mostly sat on our balcony enjoying the sun and the archipelago but at some point we had lunch and what a lunch. We had halibut with fresh Swedish potatoes and a asparagusbuttersauce. Delicious. And for dessert: Crema catalana with fresh fruit and berries. Oh so good.

Today I've been visiting my Mom but sadly enough she wasn't that well today. She was in bed and very tired. I sang to her and she almost fell asleep. It was a lulluby and her favourite song. I hope she will feel better next time.

Tomorrow morning I will go, once again, to the terminal. This time to fetch Jonas who has been in Tallin, Estonia since Thursday together with H.E.A.T. And it is Swedish National Day so I did bake a rhubarbpie :-)
well no it's actually a rhubarbcake and we will have that together with vanillasauce tomorrow.

The coming week is filled with stuff. Tuesday boardmeeting with the Rheumatic assocation. Wednesday party by the pool with H.E.A.T-family, Thursday summerlunch with my work and Friday Oscar will graduate in Gavle.

I hope your week will be nice and filled with fun stuff. Have a good one :-)

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.

NEW YEAR

I left you in December just before Christmas with a beginning cold. And of course it bloomed the rest of my leave from work. So I decided to stay home another week so my first day in the new year was yesterday :-) Even if I felt ill we had a lot of fun during Christmas and New Year. The day before Christmas Eve Jonas, Mandy and Eddie came. We did the last Christmas decorations, ate together and had a good time before going to bed. They slept over so in the morning we all had a wonderful Christmas breakfast which, of course, included Christmas porridge (which we only eat once a year) made of rice and to that we had the obligatory Christmas ham sandwich with mustard. This is so good and when you have this you know it's Christmas. Of course I bought the ham from an organic farm where I have been myself. They actually also have a recording studio on the ground so Jonas has been there several times recording bands. Therefore I know the pigs are well kept and have the best lives t...

Hello December

This month started with a tax education, yeah :-) in Uppsala. Since we don't have a goverment yet due to the chaotic political scene after the election, no one actually knows what's going to happen with taxes. It's just guesses. The day after we had Christmas celebration at the Rheumatic district of Stockholm. It was a lot of fun, good food and nice to meet everyone :-) And on Saturday it was time for Christmas lunch with my own Rheumatic local association. We were around 30 members incl. Eddie and Mandy. We had a lot of good food and we had the party at a local hotel here in Väsby in Bredden. There were two other children there so I bought them each a Christmas gift and they were very happy for what they got from the Rheumatic Santa Claus. Me decorating a board member with a honoray sign Eddie and the palm tree Some of the Christmas bord I haven't been feeling well for a couple of months. I have had fever now and then, headache, runny nose, ey...
