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!

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.

On popular demand

I have on popular demand decided to start writing again. I haven't had time to do this blog for a lot of reasons mostly lack of time. There is so much to do and so little time. Since I last wrote there have been a big change and it's my grandson. Yes, I'm a granny now to the most adorable boy, Eddie. He's now 19 months old and I love him to the moon and back. He's my joy and I'm so happy I can see him grow. I have really been there from the moment he was born (almost).  Always on the piano the first thing he do. His parents called me the morning of April 23 last year at 0415AM and said it was time. So I just rushed out of bed, drove to them and then drove them to the hospital. It was a long day before we they called and told us that Eddie was born in the evening. Only 1 1/2 day later I fetched them and drove the new little family home. Since they don't have a car I have driven them where they want to go. The first 6 months were quite difficult wi...

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 ...
