Saturday August 31 - last day of summer?

OK here I go again :-)


Fireworks

Beautiful!
Where did I left off? Yes, at last weekends fireworks :-) Fantastic! And so unexpected. I started to see that something was going on around 830PM when several police boats came and sealed the area from other boats. I thought something had happened but as the time went on more and more small boats gathered and then at 10PM a big boom came and it all started and kept going for 15 minutes. And we were at the front row :-)
Hasse at Boule & Berså where we had coffee (me) and beer (Hasse) in the beautiful weather

I loved the ship - Brilliance of the seas - and I wouldn't mind going with her, at all. It was the first time that I've been on a cruise ship viewing and the guide have been Swedish! They usually have someone onboard, information/guestservices or something but this time a Swedish guy from Scania. He does work with RCCL and has done so for 8 years.

Then this week has just been work Monday-Wednesday, nothing out of the ordinary but fun :-) I'm planning something with my boss but it's a big secret and I can't even write about it here if someone from work reads this.

A beautiful and peaceful morning when the sun just came up

Thursday I went to my Doctor to see how I was ;-) All bloodtests regarding cholestorol and sugar was great. No worries there which is great. I mean I have so much else on my plate that I don't need that too. I have a lot of inflammations going on in my body but there is nothing to do about that except taking pain killers and anti inflammatory medicine. These things pops up now and then because of my diseases. This summer, though a very nice one, has been really bad. I think it's due to the hot weather and high humidity. Several of my friends have been worse too.

I was looking for a picture symbolizing pain when I found this. So true and something you tend to forget, don't you?

Yesterday, as I told you, I went to see Mandy and give her the birthday gifts. I bought her a very nice bracelet from New York, also a scented candle (kind of big), a glass votive and a potpurri. I think she really liked it.

Later she was to fetch Jonas at the airport. He's taken a break from the album recording to come here and celebrate both Mandy but also 2 of his friends that have turned 30. He will go back Monday morning to continue the recording.

Here's a video they have uploaded, enjoy:

H.E.A.T - studio diaries

Today it's Saturday and we are getting ready for "Melodikrysset" which is a program on the radio where you solve a crossword which consists of question involving music. All kinds of music from way back to this day. We always do that every Saturday but we have never won anything though I think we have sent it in for at least 10 years every week!

Have a good weekend everyone and I'll to write more but I'm afraid next week is also crazy. We have a conference Thursday to Saturday on a cruise to Helsinki and I'm partly responsible arranging the trip and also doing some education.

So wish me luck with that.

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...

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.

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 ...
