Busy, busy....

Long time now since I blogged properly but I have been keeping busy :-) Last weekend (Thursday) I went by train down to Malmo, Scania, to visit my mother's cousin Kerstin.
I always stay at Elite hotel Savoy when in Malmö and this time as often before I had the corner junior suite. I stayed there for 3 nights.

On Thursday I went out on town and walked around for a couple of hours adn then on Friday I also was out walking and shopping ;-) Then Kerstin came and fetched me by car and we drove home to her house in Limhamn. It's so nice to meet her and we have so much to talk about and discuss every time we meet.
Considering she's 83 years old she is so with her time. She uses computer, mail, Facebook you name it. She also just recently bought a smartphone HTC.

We started out with a glass (or two) of pink champagne. Then we had dinner which was smoked fish with new fresh potatoes a very good herbsauce and vegetables. To that we had a delicious Chablis. For dessert we had fresh strawberries with whipped cream and a portwine to go with it.
We then had coffee and sat chatting until I suddenly looked at the watch and it was already almost midnight so we called a cab and I went back to the hotel. We had been chatting constantly for almost 9 hours so no wonder we were starting to get tired :-)

The next day I went out walking again. I wanted to find a special kind of shoes and to get to the place took me over an hour walking. I thought it was much closer :-) Anyway they didn't have them there so when I walked back I stopped at a shoestore much closer to the hotel and there they had them! It was also Malmö half-marathon which I saw some of from my window


I wanted to treat Kerstin to dinner so I had booked a table at the Rådhuskällaren and we had a lovely dinner, once again fish and a really good white wine and for dessert their icecream with strawberries. And once again we had so much fun together.


I went home on Sunday and had a great trip home and then work all week except Thursday when I went up to Norrtälje to see my good friend Anne for treatment, lunch and shopping.

And one more thing. As I told you last time H.E.A.T has signed with GAIN Sony and now it's determined that they will record in Studio Bohus in November.

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.
