Vasalopp Sunday

 Here's some of the skiers on their way up the first hill

Nothing much has happened this week. Just ordinary stuff like working, cooking etc.


I did go to my hairstylist, Suzanne Clausen on Wednesday and you might have seen my new hairdo on Facebook. I really liked the new color. I have very light highlights in
the hair which makes me look very goldy blond.

The night to Wednesday Jonas, Mandy and their friends returned from Thailand. They were supposed to land 0.55AM but didn't arrive until 01.55AM. I was awake until 1 AM watching if the plane would be more delated.
Hasse was the one going out to Arlanda fetching them.
They had had a great time and Jonas strongly recommended us to go there.
I don't know, I'm more drawn to going west :-) Wonder why ;-)
From Thailand - doing faces :-)

Anyway today is one of Sweden's big days. Vasalopp day. I'm not sure you have heard of it?
It's a skirace over 90 km! Yes that is the longest skirace there is. It starts in Salen and ends in Mora. It's said to be the way Gustav Vasa went to warn the Dalkarlarna (men from Dalarna). That's why it's called Vasaloppet (loppet=race).
It's a mighty view to watch 15 000 skiers start at the same time. Always 8AM.
Some of them haven't come to Mora yet at 7PM. Think about that 12 hours skiing! I had 2 friends skiing today and they did great. One did his 32 (!) race and the other one his 6th I think.

  1. Marty really wants to go to Thailand. When I told him Jonas was there, he was jealous.

    The ski race looks wild!

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.

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...

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...
