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!

Magic numbers 111111. Think about it - it's 100 years til next time and then none of us will be here. Other than that nothing much happened today. Had a meeting and then I went to the opticians and my sight was not what it used to be so I will get new glasses next week. I have also cooked prime rib in red wine the whole afternoon and it's so tender and smells delicious. Danniel and Emil is coming over for dinner tomorrow since Sunday is Father's Day here in Sweden. Jonas is in the studio in Kungälv with H.E.A.T recording their first album with Erik Grönwall as singer :-) We are so excited to see and hear the outcome of this. I'm totally sure it will supergood!! Erik G in the studio The night before they went the guys and their girlfriends had goodbye-party in their rehearsalstudio (The photo taken by Mandy) Tomorrow I'm going to visit my Mom and then Danniel will follow me home for dinner. A special big congratulation to my niece Monica in Barcelona ...

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...

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.
