Weekly recap

I just came home from a conference with my local Rheumatic society. We stayed at a hotel in Nynäshamn, Nynäsgården, which was awful.
 You can't see it properly but this was really nasty. Broken and not clean
 Mold in the shower
 Very old TV and you couldn't see much on it so I'm lucky I had my Ipad with me.
 Break in attempt on the door
The conference was great and we came to great deciscions but the hotel wasn't.
I had been there before so I knew what I was in for but the others didn't. I tried the first room - the bed hard like a brick. I went to the reception and got 3 more keys to 3 different rooms. 2 of them with the same brick matrass the third was OK. The receptionist said she didn't know what rooms had newer beds (which is strange) but admitted that the other beds were from the 80's! I mean over 30 years old beds in a hotel. Imagine the rest....
To top it all I had mold in the bathroom which smelled awful. Lucky I wasn't there that much. And maybe worse there were signs of break-in attempt on the door. The elevator was scary and you never knew if it was going to work. When we took the connecting way under the house because of icy terrace the elevator was broken so we had to climb (yes very steep stairs) stairs to get to the dining room.

The chairs in the dining room are so bad I can't describe them. But what happens is that you are totally numb  after sitting for a while, not to mention a 3-course meal. Instead of being a nice time together you try to eat as fast as possible to get off the chairs.
The elevator wasn't safe enough to go in, although repaired, so we got a conference room on the ground floor the next day.
This place used to be a home for elderly which you can tell from many of the rooms.I would never go here if I had to pay myself.
 It could be such a good hotel because the setting is great
 The conservatory where we had the conference day 2

Thursday I had a meeting at Rosersberg where we also had lunch. That was very nice and we planned the coming Christmas cafe which we are going to have on November 29.

 Tomorrow it's Father's Day here and Emil and Danniel is coming over for dinner. Jonas is on tour with H.E.A.T and at present in Gothenburg. Next Friday though they are in Stockholm and of course I will be there! Did you think I wouldn't? 

Helen, me, and 9 more are going out for dinner before the gig. I'm really looking forward to this.

Now I'm just chilling and soon will be watch TV for a while. At present I watch X-Factor US on the computer.

Take care and have a great weekend.

  1. That hotel doesn't sound at all like Sweden! Not a VERY NICE EXPERIENCE.

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.

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...

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 ...
