Vacation time

Me and Hasse on boat sightseeing

Time flies when you are on vacation. Don't you think? I haven't written since July 9 and I have been doing fun stuff since then. No long trip but shorter ones.

First I went to Malmö in Scania to visit my Mom's cousin which I try to do as often as I can. We had a wonderful afternoon/evening together first at her home and then at this beautiful restaurant almost on the water. We sat outside overlooking the Öresundsbridge, the sea and we could even see Copenhagen on the other side, so a very clear day/evening. Of course by the sea we had fish. Gorgeous and a glass good white wine to that. I stayed one more day and it was said that my cousins might be there but I never heard from them. But I had a wonderful day ending up walking 8,7 km, shopping, taking a boatsightseeing at the canals (always like to do that) and went home on the third day.
Wonderful little restaurant I found called the Alley. 

Then on Tuesday me and Hasse went to "our" hotel for a 3-day stay there which is also by the sea, litterally. Our favorite room wasn't available (although I booked over 2 months ago asking for it) so we ended up in a suite which was nice but didn't have the windows we want. It had these round windows and you have to stand up by them to see anything. We want the big windows where you can sit and watch out on all the boat traffic that is going on and even lie in bed watching the water, the city and Djurgården. Instead we sat on the quay where they have, this year, placed lounge furnitures and had servings. It was so nice to go there after dinner, just sitting relaxed and watch all the traffic including the big cruise ships.

Yesterday we had our good friends Anne and Johnny over for dinner. It was so nice to meet them and have time to sit down and talk. The weather was just beautiful even if it's too hot for me. I was in the kitchen almost all day with the oven on so I was melting ;-) I made an asparagus soap with serrano chips as a starter, followed by a dish with chicken in a wonderful sauce gratinated in the oven with Wästerbotten cheese (!) and for dessert fresh strawberries with vanilla ice cream and a home made caramel sauce. Very good! The dessert we ate outside in the garden because it had cooled down a bit and was "only" 24C.

Yes, we have H.E.A.T wave here now ;-)  I can't stand it because it's too hot to sleep. When it's like this you should have AC or at least be living by the sea where you have some sea breeze at least.

Speaking of H.E.A.T - yesterday they played in Padua, Italy as support, once again, for Scorpions. At the same time here in Väsby we have a rock festival which started yesterday and ends tonight. The final band playing is Europe! They will start at midnight and play until 1.45AM!!

Watch this video from Padua, Italy last night. Incredible!

A SHOT AT REDEMPTION - H.E.A.T
 
Monday I'm going to have my Mom-Son day with Danniel and on Wednesday the same with Jonas. Tell you more afterwards. Thursday I'm going to the archipelago of S:t Anna in Östergötland to go to a concert with Peter and Matilda. Looking forward to that too. And then next week my vacation is over and I start work on Monday 28.

As always - take care whereever you are!

    Really weird again, I commented in your last 3 posts and nothing shows. I will try again now. It seems like you had a wonderful vacation time, loved the pictures too. You look so happy and healthy! :)

    Yes, that is weird. But you never know with internet ;-) sometimes I think there is so much in the "air" floating around that doesn't reach the destination.
    Thank you! It's just an image I think. I'm happy but I don't like the warmth we have now. Today it's 32C in the shadow and that is way too high for me. It's hard to sleep at night because it's so warm and at night the temp goes down to around 20C which makes it very moist. So hot and moist. Not my favorite.
    We have the hottest temperatures now in whole Europe. Can you imagine? Up to 34C (that is 94).
    Love you!

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.

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...
