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 and a car which blocked the way and it took so long to pass that.

Then yesterday I went for my usual B12 shot so now I'm fit for another 3 weeks :-) I also did a lot of shopping. We are having our traditional Advent celebration next Sunday so I have this weekend to buy everything, bake and prepare as much as I can. It's a lot of hard work before but I love this tradition and especially to meet family, friends and more that I don't get to see that often.


Today was "the big safron bun baking" and I also made soft gingerbreadcake with topping (but I forgot to take a photo)
Tomorrow I'm baking soft safroncakes.I'm not sure yet how many will come. I did ask them to tell before yesterday but so many haven't answered so I have to guess. So far we are around 20 but I'm sure there will be more, maybe 10 more.

  1. wow that's a lot of saffrom buns! do you use real saffron? because the real Spanish saffron is super expensive! Do you use it for flavor or color?

  3. I always use the real thing and yes it is expensive but it's so worth it!
    On the Advent celebration we're going to have these safron buns, gingerbreads with gorgonzola (which is very good) and also a lot more :-)

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...
