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

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...

Oh my God

The Christmas smorgasbord I just realized I haven't written anything since November 23! But I can tell you I haven't been lazy but there has been so much going on that I haven't had the strength to write. I had meetings that week and I was supposed to be at a conference hotel for lunch that Friday but I was to tired I had to cancel it. So instead I baked safron buns (!) and made chocolate troufles with ginger.  The ferry On December 1 it was Staffan's birthday (Hasse's oldest son) and I worked and worked at my job. Thursday I and Hasse were supposed to go to the theatre and see Come again Charlie, which was one of my birthday presents - thank you Pär and Brita. But Hasse wasn't feeling well so instead I asked Linnea, my bonus grand daughter if she wanted to go and she was very happy that I asked. We had a really good time and the play, which was a comedy, was funny but also with a message which made you laugh and then stop. It was about the si...
