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 :-)

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
