Visit to the cemetery and a wonderful Magic flute at the Opera

A scene from the Magic flute

As I told you in my last post I was going to the Royal Opera to see Mozar's The Magic flute.

What a performance that was! The Opera was sold out, not one seat left. The opera itself was so funny and with some twist and turns you wouldn't expect.

For instance, the opera started with a sleeping Tamino - in the audience front row in the stalls. From there he, after pretending being asleep for a good 15 minutes, went through the orchestra pit and up to the stage via a ladder. And it went on from there. I had some good laughs as well as just enjoying the beautiful music.

Me by the grave

Then today me and Helen visited Mom and Dad's grave. It's not All Saint's Day until next weekend but then the cemetery will be packed with people which means no peace, quiet and time to reflect. Today it was very peaceful and we placed candles by the grave as well as a little wreth with flowers and cones. Also Helen had bought a couple of stones that said Mom and Dad and with a heart. See photo.

Doesn't it look pretty? I think especially Mom would have loved it!

Have a good Sunday, tomorrow it's Monday and time to work :-)

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...

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 ...

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.
