Torpa on conference

 
My beautiful birthday boy

We were all invited to Jonas and Mandy for birthday celebration last Saturday. They had invited US,  Mandys mom and dad, her grandmother and her aunt.  From Gävle came  Staffan and Lena and Emil and Danniel too. 
We  had all  chipped in to give him his dream present - a trip to  Rome for him and Mandy.
They are actually leaving tomorrow morning ( I started writing this on Thursday so they are in Rome now) and they have a blast.

I on the other hand went on a conference to Torpa in Sodertalje. A wonderful little boardinghouse from 1870. It's said that the house was given to Oscar II mistress as a gift. Who knows but his portrait hangs in the salon.

 I love this place with its interiour from the past, the host who is a young man that took over last year and the wonderful surroundings.

We worked very hard and creative, which is what a surrounding like that makes you do. So yesterday, that is Friday, we were finished earlier than we should and could go home a couple of hours before planned. This was fantastic since it was Friday. I felt very sick though and had a bad ache in my stomach, was extremely tired although I slept like a baby in my beautiful room. So when I drove home I had a very hard time trying to stay awake. When I got home I just went in, talked to Hasse, unpacked a bit and then up to bed. I slept for 3 hours and then I felt a little bit better.
The gorgeous bed in my huge bedroom, actually one of the wedding suites ;-)

In the evening it was the final of Let's Dance which is the Swedish show of Dancing with the stars. We had a singer Marie and a world champion in downhill skiing in the finals. Marie was outstanding! So good and with such a joy. She got perfect scores 90 points in 3 dances. She is the first ever doing that in the 10 years the programme had been on. 
Ingmar Stenmark the skier was very good dancing, all the steps were there but he hadn't the joy or showmanship and frankly was a bit stiff. He did it a bit mechanical if you understand what I mean.
And who won do you think? The perfect dancer with great showmanship or the mechanical dancer with little emotions but a world champion? Yes, the world champion (although it was in the 70s) I don't know if it is a dance competition or what?

Spring has sprung here :-) and we are feeling it both Hasse and I. Lot's of pollen and we have blocked nose, runny nose and sneezes :-)

Today we will take it easy, relax but first, of course, Melodikrysset.

Take care everyone and have a wonderful weekend!

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!!

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.
