Cold and snow

Yes I have a terrible cold and it is cold as well outside. This morning I woke up to winter! When I went to bed last night it was raining and then in the morning the world was white. I woke up very early, at 4AM, and since I have a cold I couldn't go back to sleep so just as well I went up and made myself ready for work. Despite the weather I was at work by 05.50AM and started working at once. Sneezing and with dripping nose, not a pretty sight ;-) I worked on in my room. I have to blame but myself. I started feeling bad on Thursday but since the weather was so wonderful then with sunshine and mild temperatures I just thought it was my allergy kicking in. Saturday I went to Karlstad, something that I had planned a long time ago. My friend Anna is singing in the opera L'Orfeo by Monteverdi there and I and my opera friend had decided to go and see the opera. My opera friend's Mom lives in Karlstad so she went up on Friday and stayed with her. I stayed at the Elite h...

Back home again

Sunset in Stockholm (taken from our hotel window) Now I'm back home again after celebrating holiday in various places. I haven't had access to a computer when in hotels but for short periods of time that's why I haven't been able to write on my blog either. Anyway we have had the most wonderful time. After Dalhalla we went to Helsinki on a cruise with Silja line, of course in Commodore cabin with a balcony :-) Then we stayed a couple of nights at the most gorgeous hotel, hotel Haven , very close to the city center and right beside the market square. After waiting for a long time we finally got our room (the room wasn't ready due to peopel not leaving in time but we got complimentary wine and beer while waiting) which was beautiful. Facing towards the market square, the harbour and the sea we had a great view. The loo had a big window so we really had a loo with a view ;-) Our toilet in Helsinki :-) One of the days we rented a car and drove to the old town of Bo...

Monday - Saturday ?!

  Norrtälje in wintertime. Beautiful isn't it? I wrote on Monday and now it's Saturday! What happened in between? This work to be out of work is really exhausting because I really try to find a job and that takes time and effort. On Tuesday I was supposed to go to my medical central and take bloodtest before I see my Dr next week but instead I stayed at home writing applications for 2 jobs and also placed my CV on several recruiting companies. That took almost all Tuesday. On Wednesday I went to my friend Anne in Norrtälje and we had a delic chantarellesoup, lots of chat, I had some wonderful treatment, zone therapy and that always relaxes me to the extent that I almost always falls asleep or if not asleep very very close. After that we went shopping at Flygfyren which is one of the best stores I know. It was a bit hard driving because it was very icy on Wednesday. The weather has changed and it's no longer that extreme cold we have had and when it changes it has a ...
