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 :-)

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.

Hello December

This month started with a tax education, yeah :-) in Uppsala. Since we don't have a goverment yet due to the chaotic political scene after the election, no one actually knows what's going to happen with taxes. It's just guesses. The day after we had Christmas celebration at the Rheumatic district of Stockholm. It was a lot of fun, good food and nice to meet everyone :-) And on Saturday it was time for Christmas lunch with my own Rheumatic local association. We were around 30 members incl. Eddie and Mandy. We had a lot of good food and we had the party at a local hotel here in Väsby in Bredden. There were two other children there so I bought them each a Christmas gift and they were very happy for what they got from the Rheumatic Santa Claus. Me decorating a board member with a honoray sign Eddie and the palm tree Some of the Christmas bord I haven't been feeling well for a couple of months. I have had fever now and then, headache, runny nose, ey...

NEW YEAR

I left you in December just before Christmas with a beginning cold. And of course it bloomed the rest of my leave from work. So I decided to stay home another week so my first day in the new year was yesterday :-) Even if I felt ill we had a lot of fun during Christmas and New Year. The day before Christmas Eve Jonas, Mandy and Eddie came. We did the last Christmas decorations, ate together and had a good time before going to bed. They slept over so in the morning we all had a wonderful Christmas breakfast which, of course, included Christmas porridge (which we only eat once a year) made of rice and to that we had the obligatory Christmas ham sandwich with mustard. This is so good and when you have this you know it's Christmas. Of course I bought the ham from an organic farm where I have been myself. They actually also have a recording studio on the ground so Jonas has been there several times recording bands. Therefore I know the pigs are well kept and have the best lives t...
