Conference and IKEA-day

Once again a week has flown by and we are getting closer to Advent-time which is nice.
This week I went to a TV-recording of the Swedish version of The Voice with 4 very well-known and loved singers.
My "entourage" was my sister Helen, her daugther Bianca , her friend and Danniel. It was great fun but since it was very close to where my Mom lives it was a long way to drive and it's almost out on the country so when we went to fetch the car it was completely black! You couldn't see anything expect for a very shy moon. I did get to my car and drove home.
On the top of this photo you can see Helen and Danniel with the spot on them.  

Then Thursday night a friend of mine won the HMMA for classical song. This took place in Los Angeles and a big congratulation to Victoria Tocca for this achievement. The song is Dark Waltz.

On Friday I went to a conference for all chairmen/women of the Rheumatic association. Very nice to meet everyone and to really have time to discuss problems, solutions and everything else.
 Before dinner, chatting with friends

Today I went with my gorgeous daughter-in-law (no they're not married but she's like a daughter to me) We went to IKEA, we had lunch together, looked at a lot of things there along with 10000 others (at least it felt like it) and generally having a good time.  She's so nice and we have fun when we meet. I really love her and I'm so glad that Jonas found such a nice girl. They are still recording and they will, hopefully, be done by mid-December.

Another big thing this week, actually yesterday, was the my niece in San Diego turned 40. Happy birthday Lizzie. I'm a bit sad because it's hard when you live so far away. You can't give her (or any of them) a big hug on their birthday so I have to send a virtual one :-)

I hope you all have a great Sunday and coming week. By the way, once again, I love reading your blogs (USA-relatives) :-)

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...

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.

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 ...
