10-year jubilee done!

 
Here you see how sunny it was

The first of the events in May is done. It was my works 10-year jubilee which we celebrated yesterday.
It was the first real warm day of the year and one where we actually could sit outside in the evening without freezing. One is very greatful for those few precious days here :-)
The cake
There had been a lot of preparations, of course, before the festivities. I have worked with this for quite some time now. On Monday we got the news that the catering firm didn't have any table decorations in our company color which is orange.
I came up with the idea of having orange gerberas in glassbowls on the tables and so we did. I went to the flowershop and ordered 30 of them which I then fetched yesterday morning. So fresh! I cut them and put them in the bowls and it was really nice.
Look closely and you can see the flowers in the bowls
But everything went smothly. The tent went up, the band came and rigged everything and did soundcheck. The band is Vinylbandet and they play 60-80th covers. The drummer is father to the drummer in H.E.A.T so of course it was my doing we hired them :-) They were so great and there were spontaneous dance. I for one was one of them ;-) Which I might add I have to suffer for today when my back is killing me or rather my pelvis where I have inflammation. But when it's good music I can't sit still and I have to move with it. Here's some photos from yesterday:

Isn't this wonderful. What an enviroment we have
Did you hear about the earthquake in Nepal 2 weeks ago? One of my co-workers is from Katmandu, Nepal and her family suffered bad. Her immediate family is safe but have nowhere to live. Their house is destroyed so they live in a tent on a field. There are still aftershocks. Her cousin died and because of that she had to eat vegetarian food for 13 days. That is how they do it.
I have given money to her and also my friends and my sis Helen. We know that it will come directly to those in need.

Tomorrow it's Emil's birthday, my youngest, and we will celebrate him on Sunday. That is because Jonas is in Mallorca writing songs with Erik Grönwall and they won't be home until late tomorrow so that's why we postponed it until Sunday.

Take care and have a great weekend!

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...
