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 :-)

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
