Sunday - again....

Snow

And more snow. This is our front yard
It seems like I've become this once-in-a-week blogger ;-)
The weeks ticks by so fast and before I know it it's Sunday Every night I think I'll write something but there are so many things I have to do first so when my eyes keeps closing I go to bed and by then I have completely forgotten that I had the intention of writing. Ah well, it is what it is.
I have to sum up the week instead.

This last week wasn't that exciting though. Work and work and also a birthday. Our youngest grandchild, Klara, turned 17! I can't believe she's so grown. It wasn't long ago she was a baby ;-)

Klara - Happy Birthday

I have also been very busy this week arranging the study trip to Copenhagen for some of my collegues. No, I'm not going myself but I have become the trip planner and booker at my work. I suppose it's after the successful London trip last year and also the study trip to Scania which I also planned and booked last September. I love doing this! I would rather go myself of course, but it gives me such pleasure trying to find the best flights, hotels, restaurants and more. But it does take a lot of time to get it as I want to have it.

Like the lunch I have been trying to book for a week. I sent 2 mails asking for a lunch reservations. Since they are 11 going it's not that easy to just walk in and have lunch. That's why I book everything in advance. Anyway I didn't get any replies to my mail so on Thursday I called. I sat for over 10 minutes waiting to be connected. I told what I want 2 times but were forwarded and in the end I only got signals in my ear so after 10 minutes I gave up and hung up. I tried to find other places but it turns out that next week in Copenhagen they have "dining week" which means that most of the restaurants are already fully booked.
By then I was so angry of the non-service that I decided to go to the top. So I contacted the hotel manager by mail and told my story. Within an hour I had a reply by mail with confirmation for lunch and excuses.
Isn't it kind of strange that you have to go to the top to get what you want when it's a service company we're talking about??

The weather this week has been awful! Not as in East USA but similar. We did not have the hurricane winds but we did get some major snow. Just as it had started to look rather good with melting snow we got this. It snowed around 30 cm in a couple of days. And they have "promised" we will get more today and up til Wednesday :-( Where is spring?

Happy Sunday morning :-)
Jonas, Mandy and two of their friends are going to Thailand tomorrow!! So they will, at least, get some warmth and sunshine. Envious? No, I would rather go west to California :-)
Jonas and Mandy are coming over for dinner tonight which is very nice and tomorrow I will drive them to the airport. The plane doesn't leave until the evening so it's OK.

What has H.E.A.T been up to then you might wonder? Well, they have booked some new gig. The first is March 16 in Nyköping so if you're in the region, don't miss out on a great gig!
I so want to go to Barcelona and see them on April 14 and I still hope that is possible but I have to wait and see.

H.E.A.T TICKETS BARCELONA

Possible I and my sis Helen are going to New York this autumn but that is still to be decided. She celebrates her 50th birthday as well as her 25th year as dentist with her own practice. I hope this will come true :-) But as I said about Barcelona we have to wait and see.

Well, have a great week everyone and I suppose I will write again next Sunday ;-) if not sooner. Take care out there!

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...
