December and soon 2 Advent

Some of the safronbuns. I make them like cinammon buns but with safron and almond icing. Delicious if I may say so myself :-)

I know, I admit I have been a very bad blogger lately ;-) I don't know why I don't have or rather take the time to write down things even though they aren't that special. I know I love to read others who think their blogs aren't any exciting but I love to follow the day to day life even the boring days. We all have them don't we?

Today for instance. I started out baking safronbuns for the second time in two weeks! We now have almost 200!
No, we are not going to eat them ourselves. I think we would gain too much if we did ;-) No, we are having a 3rd Advent glogg mingle with H.E.A.T families, my co-workers, family from all over and if the guys get ready in the studio they will come too. I do hope they will but they now say it will take yet another week so not sure.
I have also baked a lot of other things, of course :-) And we will treat them with glogg, coffee, buns, other stuff I can't write here because some of them may read this :-) and I want some things to be a surprise. I can tell you afterwards.

Jonas baking safron buns. He's almost 3 years here and he's such a good baker.

What has happened since last then? Except for baking. We had service on our car and on Monday we are changing the cam-belt. We were not supposed to drive at all because the whole engine could collapse or something. Scary!

We have also done some Christmas decorations and it's starting to feel like Christmas although we have no snow at all. It hasn't even been cold up til now.

This is our back garden November 27 last year. And now, no snow at all!

Well, we have to wait and see there will be any snow this Christmas.

I have also been to my doctor and my blood tests were all well but I have this pain in my stomach now and then and it's so painful it's starting to effect my daily life. For instance I had to go during the interval when we were at the Opera last. It was Carmen, one of my favourites, but I couldn't stay because of the pain. So now I will have a CT done and see if they can figure out what is wrong.

I also had a lunch meeting with some friends on Wednesday. Very nice with good food, chatting and even singing :-)

Sunday I'm off to fix my hair, yes Sunday. My hairdresser is great and have time even on Sundays.

Then next week I will go to Gavle and me, Gunilla and Lena are going on a Christmas concert with Peter Johansson and his cousin Matilda. He is the singer who played Galileo in We will rock you in London for 7 years. Great singer! And so is his cousin. She has performed in Vienna in musicals. So we are in for a treat I think. It's my birthday gift for Gunilla and Lena (Lena is December 30th and Gunilla January 15).

Take care now and have a wonderful 2nd Advent everyone :-)

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 ...
