Saturday and GOLD for Sweden

Today Sweden took our first Gold in skiing and the one who cemented the win was the wonderful Kalla. It was her third medal in these games. She has two silver and now the GOLD. Great job!


Danniel around 1 year old, with grandma and the last photo is with my uncle Lars-Erik, my cousin Kicki, my aunt Gertie and my grandpa's housekeeper Ester.

Another Gold but for me was 39 years ago when I gave birth to my first baby boy at 06.51AM - Danniel. Now he's not a baby anymore. I can't believe he will be 40 next year. But on the other hand I can't believe I will be 60 this year!
Where did time go? But when you think about it so much has happened during these years.

The day Danniel was born used to be the day when everyone had to leave the yearly tax return and luckily that year I had done that. Now it's very different and there are several tax return dates depending on if you are a person or have a business.

I'm very proud of him and he has since last year lost over 88 pounds! Great work.

What else? Oh yes, yesterday I met my good friend who is my opera friend. We have been going to the Royal Opera together now for over 7 years! That is incredible and we still have so much joy from it. Yesterday we started the evening by eating dinner at Bagdad Café situated in the Mediterranean museum very close to the Royal Opera house. It was very tasty and a wonderful envirement that I can truly recommend. I had a spinach and fetacheese pie with sallat.

After that we went to see the opera Salome by Strauss. A completely sold out house watched and listened to a frightful story about Salome who in the end gets John the Baptist head but then she's killed too. A complete thriller but beautifully sung and the dresses were gorgeous.

Today is, as it has been this year almost every day, grey weather with sometimes snow, sometimes rain and even hail.
Tonight is also fullmoon and I have been feeling that all week.

I have trouble sleeping, my heart raises and I feel strange. Usually all this will go away now within a day or two. Strange but true.

On Wednesday we have a board meeting and on Thursday I will be secretary on the annual meeting with the Rheumatic assocation in my hometown. And then next Sunday we will all be going to Danniel for birthday dinner :-)

I hope you all have a good weekend and week. Take care!

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.

Weekend with H.E.A.T in London

I just got back late last night from London where I spent the weekend with rock'n roll. My main purpose was of course to see H.E.A.T play at O2 Academy Islington London on Saturday. But why not combi ne that with holiday I thought. So me, my sister H and her daughter B as well as Jona's girlfriend M all went. We stayed at this superluxurious ho tel in Holborn Renaissance Chancery court. We had clubroom which gave us a ccess to a Club lounge that offered complimentary meals like continental breakfast, tea/coffe, drinks throughout the day, evening meal and desserts. In our prize was al so an English breakfast in the Pearl restaurant which ordinary cost £24.50! But it was worth it. On Friday evening we went to see "We will ro ck you" with music by Queen. What a musical!!! They talk about Mamma Mia but this one - I don't know but I it's probably better. I got goosebumps all over when the audience at the end starting singing Bohemian Rhapsody, what a feeling. I co...

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 ...
