No more snow :-) and of course as soon as we switched to winter tires the snow and ice was gone and now we have around + 6-7 C. It's very dark though. When I go to work in the morning at 5.45 AM it's completely dark and the sun doesn't rise until around 7.15AM and down at around 4PM and it's grey.
The positive is that we now can light candles inside, snuggle up in the sofa watching TV without feeling guilty that you're not outside :-)
Last Saturday we have good friends over for dinner which was very nice. I had made Creme Ninon for starter which is a green pea soup with champagne. Main course was my salmon gratin with a delicious white wine sauce and for dessert a chocolate fudge pie with rasberries and icecream. We served a White Zinfandel, Beringer to drink and that wine is so good.
Then on Tuesday I was on a board meeting with my Rheumatic society locally. It was very nice to meet them all since it has been a while since. We started with a good lunch and continued with the meeting. I will go with them on their conference next weekend where they will plan 2013.
I worked a bit different this week since the 1 and 2 of November was a Thursday and Friday. Every month the first days of the months is very important at work since everything needs to be invoiced. The good thing was that I worked a Friday which is the day we have massage at work so I had a wonderful and much needed massage.
And of course this weekend was All Saints Day when we remember all our relatives that has gone before us. I remembered my father Ricardo, my Dad Olle, my beloved grandpa, other family members and friends. I lit a candle thinking of them all.
I also visited my Mom yesterday and as you know she has Alzheimer's and have hardly any words left. She's often very tired when I come and also wondering who I am. But yesterday she, after I woked her up, was so happy. We listened to the radio and "Melodikrysset" and she was so alert. She started moving to the music, she's in a wheelchair, like dancing and she clapped her hands and laughed. I was so happy to see her like that. She has always loved music and she really loves when you play to her.

The soup was so good it was over before I had a chance to take a photo ;-) |
Main dish looks a bit pale but was truly delicious |
Dessert was yummie! |
