Sunday and it's November

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.
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!

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.

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
