Opera, surgery and walking

This Friday my brother-in-law was operated and we really need all good thoughts and prayers because it didn't go as planned. He's now i ICU and they couldn't complete the surgery as they wanted to. He and my sister lives in California so it's very far away and I'm here in Sweden frustrated cause I can't do anything.
I would probably not be able to do anything if I'm in place either but at least I could be to some comfort and also helping out with the things you don't really want to do in times like this - like cooking, cleaning and shopping.
I am happy though because their girls came and has been there the weekend so at least they have each other.

Otherwise here in Stockholm things are really back to normal. We have had some snow (not much) and below 0 degrees so it's "nice" and icy outside which means I don't go out. I'm scared to fall again and hit my head or even worse ;-) break something. I hate it when it is like this. Last weekend Hasse and I were out walking several days in a row but then it wasn't this icy. Let's hope things get better either with a lot of snow or no snow.


Friday me and my friend C went to the Opera and saw "The girl from the West" by my favorite compuser Puccini. It was a fantastic opera and I loved it!! When sitting there listening I suddenly recognize a melody in the opera and that was from Phantom of the Opera so now I know where that came from.
Also some of the notes are wellknown from Western movies. If you get a chance go and see it - you won't regret it.


Listen here: The girl from the West

This week starting tomorrow we have a walking competition at work. That means we wear a step counter all day and see how many steps we take. Then you register the steps each day on the competition site. This is also for a good cause. Every 7000 steps our employer gives 5 SEK to the organisation Save the Children. So we better walk a lot :-) The competition is on for a month. I can also see on my page how far I have walked. That should be interesting :-)

Hope you have a good week and especially to my family in California and SLC a warm thought and hug for you. Love you!

Magic numbers 111111. Think about it - it's 100 years til next time and then none of us will be here. Other than that nothing much happened today. Had a meeting and then I went to the opticians and my sight was not what it used to be so I will get new glasses next week. I have also cooked prime rib in red wine the whole afternoon and it's so tender and smells delicious. Danniel and Emil is coming over for dinner tomorrow since Sunday is Father's Day here in Sweden.

A special big congratulation to my niece Monica in Barcelona ...

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here.  On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...

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.
