Spamalot and very hot

On Saturday my celebration continued with going to the theatre with my sister Helen and her kids Bianca and Toni. We saw Spamalot which is a musical built from Monthy Pythons film Monty Python and the holy Grail.
It's so funny and has great songs. I did see it in Malmö last autumn but this time it was a different cast and the leading lady is played by a friend Nina Söderquist.
She played the role in London after winning a TV-competition here in Sweden where the price was to get the role as Lady of the Lake. When I was in Malmö she was on maternity leave and it was another one playing that role. Very good but not the same as Nina.
She did a marvellous job and I can't imagine anyone else now doing that role.
Afterwards we met up with her to chat for a while before the next show - yes, they do two on Saturdays.

Bianca, Nina, me and Toni

As you can see from the photo she's still with make-up. I had bought champagne in a nice package with a card and also made a big photo of her the last time we saw her. She really seemed to appreciate it and asked me about H.E.A.T and what they are doing now.

After that it was time for dinner. I had made reservations at a nearby restaurant where we had a great meal. Back home again after a very nice day.

Monday-Wednesday nothing much just work.

But yesterday I went to my old work at the Rescue and Services college Rosersberg which is no more. Now it's Tre Rosor restaurang and conference. Me and two of my friends from the Rheumatic association went there for lunch and planning. It's here we are going to celebrate the 40th jubilee next year.

Anna and Lasse treated us with lunch and showed us around and of course I saw old friends in the dining room. I think it will be great. I won't write that much because a lot of it is going to be a surprise.

Tomorrow I'm going to see my Mom and then have lunch with Danniel. That's very nice.

Sunday I will spend cooking for my co-workers because it's my turn on Monday. Did I mention I won the last round :-) Then next week is full of activities.

Wednesday - boardmeeting

Thursday - conference

Friday - massage at work, check-in at the hotel, Opera at night

Saturday - hotel breakfast, the National Museum with champagne and lunch, in the evening dinner at the hotel

Sunday - a good sleep-in before eating hotel breakfast and then in the afternoon home again.

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.
