Work, work, work and a bit of pleasure :-)

The living room with work- and relax area
Me and my collegues hard at work

This weekend me and my 3 collegues in the working committé at the Rheumatic association had a conference at the Elite Marina Tower hotel here in Stockholm.

We decided that time is never enough to do what we need to do which, at this instant, was to plan 2015 and furthermore make a 5-year plan.
Another collegue joined us for a couple of hours to help out
We had booked a suite with connecting bedrooms which turned out to be great (and cheaper than if we would have rented a conference room instead). Now we had a big "living room" with a working area with table, flipboard, pens and so on. This meant we could be very effective and we just left to have dinner, breakfast and lunch. Otherwise we stayed in the suite. Then at night we could hang in the sofa area of the room, tired and just laying there before going to bed. 
We got so much done! And we did all, and a bit more, than we had planned for.

Tired and relaxed after a hard days work

Sunday we left at around 11.30AM. It was Father's Day here in Sweden and all the boys were to come for dinner. So away I went and on my way home I bought all the things needed for dinner.
It was so nice to have them all home again. Nowadays it's rare that they can come at the same time :-)

 
Father and sons
I made fillet of beef and pork, potatoe gratin with Wasterbotten cheese on top, sauce bearnaise and sallat. Very nice if I may say so myself. For dessert we had a blue (!) cake and coffee.
 
Jonas playing for Daddy

Jonas played the piano for Hasse just because Hasse wanted him to. So, so nice. We also got to hear a few demos of new songs they are working on.

 In just 2 weeks H.E.A.T will be out on the road again touring Europe. They won't be back until December 20, just in time for Christmas.
 
Birgit Biddder

 Tomorrow I'm going on one of my birthday presents namely a concert with Birgit Bidder at Sodra teatern (South theatre). Birgit aka Anna has composed the music, hired the theatre, sings, plays and have an orchestra on stage, all this by herself. I'm so looking forward to this. It was her gift to me :-) Helen is coming with me.


That's it for me now. Take care and be kind to one another!

    That's something we don't have in common. I used to dislike very much going to school meetings and make plans for the next school year etc. write a new curriculum etc. Even when I was in the leading team I just got bored, just looking forward to going out to dinner and drinking ;)
    It looks like Hasse had a very nice Father's Day with all the boys and your cooking. Enjoy the concert!

    That's probably my Swedish heritage, planning and meeting. It was a great concert and I'm just filled by it right now.
    Love you <3

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
