Healing and Helsinki


Beautiful sunset over the Baltic sea at 10PM

Since the operation I have been doing really good. The healing goes well and I have been a good girl not overdoing anything.


Cheers

On Thursday though Hasse and I went for a luxury cruise to Helsinki. We actually found out we haven't been there since 2011. We did go there last year on the cruise around the Baltic sea but we never left the ship. The harbour where the ship docked was so far from the town and it was a very sunny day so that's why we stayed on board last year.


Stockholm archipelago

I wish I had a better camera. The moon was full and red-yellow, just stunning


The moped veteran race. In the background the Market square


Here you can how many there are and half had already passed here.

Lunch at Fazer café

I also went to Helsinki in September on a conference cruise but never went ashore since we worked.


Dinner at the Italian restaurant on board

So this was actually the first time in 3 years. Of course something spectacular happened. Last time it was a Formel 1 race with international stars. This time it was a race with veteran mopeds through Helsinki. There were several hundreds of them and some from very far away like Japan.

This is taken 6.30AM

Hasse found a very nice sweater. He always finds something to buy when in Helsinki or on the ship. We have a lovely lunch at Fazer café. Soup and deliciouse bread. And we walked and walked! We were so tired when we returned to the ship so we had a rest.


The restaurant where we had our breakfast

I really love cruising and this time we had a balcony. We also had a calm and sunny trip and I sat on the balcony enjoying the archipelago while listening to a book. That's how it should be and it's so relaxing.


Me at breakfast

And yes Jo, I do miss the quiet beach days in La Mirada. The peace and calm and no musts. I also miss our talks, our laughs and just hanging out. I also, of course, miss Lulu but I suppose she has forgot me now. I miss sitting in the garden looking at the humming birds or be able to go out and take an orange from the tree. I wouldn't like the temperatures you're having now. That is way too hot for me.

This coming week I will cook for my job on Monday. On Wednesday I will go to my doctor to remove the stiches and to get my B12 shot. On Thursday I'm going to my friend Anne in Norrtalje and on Friday I have 2 meetings at the Rheumatic association. Saturday and Sunday nothing planned.

H.E.A.T is still on tour and having a huge success all over Europe. So well deserved. At the moment they are in England. Played London last night and Newcastle today.

Take care!

11.11.11

Magic numbers 111111. Think about it - it's 100 years til next time and then none of us will be here. Other than that nothing much happened today. Had a meeting and then I went to the opticians and my sight was not what it used to be so I will get new glasses next week. I have also cooked prime rib in red wine the whole afternoon and it's so tender and smells delicious. Danniel and Emil is coming over for dinner tomorrow since Sunday is Father's Day here in Sweden. Jonas is in the studio in Kungälv with H.E.A.T recording their first album with Erik Grönwall as singer :-) We are so excited to see and hear the outcome of this. I'm totally sure it will supergood!! Erik G in the studio The night before they went the guys and their girlfriends had goodbye-party in their rehearsalstudio (The photo taken by Mandy) Tomorrow I'm going to visit my Mom and then Danniel will follow me home for dinner. A special big congratulation to my niece Monica in Barcelona ...

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 a...

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.
