Friends, musical and sick

On Saturday we had our good friends over for lunch. Since she doesn't eat gluten I made Swedish hamburgers glutenfree which means I didn't have any breadcrumbs in it but instead egg and cream and of course seasoning. They were delicious. I served roasted sweet potatoe and Jerusalem artichoke to that and also a gorgeous sallad, if I may say so myself.


For dessert and coffee I made a Pavlova but also included crusched Daim (a good chocolate).
We sat for several hours talking about what had been going on, how we were and how our children and grandchildren are. Because of their illness we haven't been able to meet so much this year so we had a lot of catching up to do. It's so nice with good friends. You don't have to say that much, nor explain because we understand. We have been friends now for 34 years so a very long time.
We also laugh a lot when we meet. All in all a wonderful afternoon.

Work as usual Monday. On Tuesday I started feeling "funny" that is feverish and chilly. On Wednesday me and Helen went to the theatre to see the absolutely amazing musical Så som i himlen which translate something like "As in heaven". Wonderful story, fantastic music and the actors/singers were truly amazing. Before the theatre we had dinner and talked and had time to catch up. Although we live in the same city we don't see each other often. That is due to Helen working a lot, me working a lot, Helen's "babies" are moving. She recently lost her dog but whenever we have the time we try to meet and have some alonetime. She, Bianca and Toni will celebrate Christmas Eve with us as well as Emil, Danniel, Jonas, Mandy and Eddie. (And on Christmas Day we go to Gavle.)



Anyway as the musical continued I froze so much we had to get my coat in the pause so I could use it like a blanket. And yes I had fever when I came home. And in the morning I woke up with ophtalmia. Couldn't open my eyes and when I could they were all red. Second time in a  couple of weeks.
So yesterday I canceled all my appointments and stayed home. 
Today I went down to get my B12 shot and my nurse was so nice and she fixed a time with my doctor, not until December 12 but that was good since he's so busy. I think I need to be checked and I suspect I'm in a deep relapse. We have to wait and see what he says,


Other than that it's all good but as you know this is the darkest time here in Sweden and we don't have any snow yet.

I wish you all a very happy 1st Advent

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...
