HOT HOT H.E.A.T

I haven't written since August and I can't believe why really or yes I can. There is so much going on and the time never seems to be enough. The last time was when I had been to the Hadiraja festival and places some videoclips here with Erik and Jona. Since then if I just take August there were boardmeetings both at work and at the Rheumatic association. Mandy turned 25 and had a party with family to celebrate. She later also had a party with friends of course. At the Rheumatic association we had a big trouble when our newly elected chairwoman said she was immediately leaving her post due to doubts about the mission. We then had to discuss how to deal with this which took a lot of time. We also had a chairmen conference planned in September with a set program that we suddenly had to change completely. This also took a long time. In September I turned 62! Yes you read it right. I can't believe I'm 62, It doesn't feel like it, at least not in my head but my bod...

I promised to tell you what happened yesterday. Me and Kicken I had, without knowing it, been in a contest called the "Skrapyran" can't really translate it but something like scratchrave. It's when you scratch a lottery online. I had registered on the Postcode lottery site because I have one Postcode lottery and I don't have time to check that, so I registered for them to check it for me. Anyway while doing that I got some bonus cash on my page there and I scratched some lotteries until the money was out, maybe 2 or 3 lotteries and of course I didn't win but the money was almost down to zero. Some of the crew and winners BUT while doing this I was in this drawing for "Skrapyran" and this time my postnumber was drawn but unfortunately not my postcode. But I won :-) So this woman called me last week. I was on my way to put down the phone (always think it's sellers who wants you to buy more lotteries) when she said I had won and they wa...

Me and Hasse on boat sightseeing My Mom's cousin Kerstin - a wonderful lady. The Öresundsbridge in the background My suite - the wedding suite Time flies when you are on vacation. Don't you think? I haven't written since July 9 and I have been doing fun stuff since then. No long trip but shorter ones. Boat sightseeing with Turning Torso Me at the same restaurant with the Marina behind me One of the bridges we went under First I went to Malmö in Scania to visit my Mom's cousin which I try to do as often as I can. We had a wonderful afternoon/evening together first at her home and then at this beautiful restaurant almost on the water. We sat outside overlooking the Öresundsbridge, the sea and we could even see Copenhagen on the other side, so a very clear day/evening. Of course by the sea we had fish. Gorgeous and a glass good white wine to that. I stayed one more day and it was said that my cousins might be there but I never heard from...

First of all I wish all of you my family and friends and readers from the USA a happy 4th of July! I'm sorry I haven't written for so long but I have been on holiday in Gotland and we have almost no internet connection there :-( Sometimes we get throgh but only for short periods which means I can't write my blog only make comments on Facebook. We did have a wonderful time in Gotland. When we arrived it was a thunder storm but the rest of the time we were there we had sunshine even if it was cold when we were out of the sun. But we had the best weather in Sweden anyway because there were rain- thunder- and halestorms as well as some tornados (which is rare for Sweden) and we had sunshine :-)  Visby harbor Most of the time we rested, just relaxed around the house but we also did some excursions. Like me and Emil went to Visby on our Mother-Son Day, something I have every summer with each and every one of my sons. It's a nice tradition and you get to talk to th...

I realized today that I hadn't written since August 31 and now September is almost gone! I have no excuse but I'm exhausted and when I get home from work I just want to relax, which I'm not very good at. But this last month I have really been in need of that. I have been worse in my Sjogren's probably a relapse. But as you know I'm not the one staying at home on sick leave so I have worked although not feeling on top. I have a great work where there is room for flexibility so if I'm very ill one day I can stay at home and rest and then work that extra when I feel better. Not everyone has so understanding work. It has happened so much since last and I can't write it all because then you would fall asleep ;-) I try to write as much as I can on Facebook and also place photos. Long story short: September 5-7 Conference with the board of the Rheumatic association. At sea to Helsinki, Finland. Good conference with great ideas and what a great team we ar...

There has been a lot going on lately even more than usual and I haven't had the energy to write my blog so here's an update. Fondueset Since I last wrote we (my job) have been to a wonderful dinner together, after the Annual meeting of shareholders. I had suggested a couple of restaurants and we choose one called "Restaurant Shvejts", yes that is how Suisse sounds in Swedish. So the dishes were Suisse. We had a wonderful fondue of fillet and others also had cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. Very good, very familiar feeling and very small! Good choice :-) We were supposed to go to dinner at our friends house last Saturday but unfortunately they got sick so it was postponed. Train 1 class Then on Sunday I went to Malmö by train which is always nice. I attended an education in administration of salaries and personnel. Very interesting. But on Sunday I met up with my Mom's cousin, 85 years old but so much younger in mind and spirit, and I treated her ...

H.E.A.T got great reviews last Friday in Malmö and so well deserved it is!! Here's the article - read and rejoice: På-toppen-av-sin-formaga

Ok, I finished recap 1 at then end of June and here's the rest: JULY: Started nice with a trip to our very good friends who has this magic summerhouse in Söderbärke, Dalarna. It has become a tradition that we visit them for a weekend during summer and such a wonderful one :-) Beautiful view in Söderbärke When we returned home, we just repacked and went to "our hotel" again for a 2 night stay. Always nice and we had a wonderful weather and could sit outside enjoying our dinner at the waterfront.   View from "our" hotel against Stockholm. Dramatic cloud Back home again I again repacked and went by train to Malmö for a 3-night stay at "my" Malmö-hotel, always Savoy. I try to go there once a year to visit my Mom's cousin who lives there. She's just amazing and we are truly soul spirits and have so much fun together. She turns 85 now in January and lives in a house by herself, her mind is clear and she's very active.   My...
