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.

    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 :-)

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 ...
