Walpurgis and May 1

Can you believe it's already May? So much happens so fast. The days are getting longer and so much lighter. We have even had a touch of spring and this Walpurgis night was beautiful. Just as often it snows but this year we had sunshine and nice warm temperatures. The Japanese cherry trees in Kungsträdgården was in full bloom and it's just gorgeous. Here's a photo of the one outside my job.

Me and Hasse went to our favorite hotel where we stayed until May 1. We had a wonderful room with views over Stockholm and Djurgården. We had calculated that we could sit in our window, watch the big Walpurgis fire and listen to the choirs singing in spring. And we sure did.

It was really a wonderful weekend or rather I was off work almost a week since Walpurgis night this year was on a Monday and then May 1 Tuesday so I just worked Wednesday and Thursday :-)

H.E.A.T went on tour the whole Walpurgis weekend and they had great success!! Next week they will be on tour again. Things are going great!

So if you haven't bought their album "Address the Nation" I suggest you do so :-)

On Sunday we are going to our "granddaughter's" confirmation (communion in church). I can't believe she's already 16. It's my very good friend Inger's daughter who together with her brother and older sister "adopted" us as grandparents since they didn't have any. Isn't that cute. We said, of course, yes to this honorary title and ever since we go under the name grandma and grandpa :-) And on top of this I'm going to be a "oldgrandma" because the oldest daughter is expecting :-)

Happy news indeed.

Well, I hope you all take care, enjoy these precious spring days and I'll write back soon again.

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.

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...
