HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Today has been a rather calm day which is nice. I started my day fasting since I was to take all these bloodtests on an empty stomach. So I came to work as usual at 06.40 and our nurse at work came 07.30 so I went down 5 minutes early that way I was the first in line. Afterwards I took a walk back to my room and had breakfast. Isn't it silly really that you can't, at least I can't, go without having breakfast. I always get a headache if I don't eat in the morning. Anyone else has the same problem? You should think it doesn't matter but it does. I don't know if I have told you about my work place. It's not one building where we all sit but we are spread over a large bit of land. We used to be even bigger but we left the castle itself a couple of years ago. OK now I have been trying to copy a map over the area into my blog but I haven't succeded so I will try to describe it instead. Our area is about 3km and we have 2 schoolbuildings, 2 hotelbuildings, one...

I'm back home again after the cruise. We had a wonderful time although a bit windy yesterday so the ship rocked us to sleep which is nice I think. We ate a wonderful dinner. You can see what we had to start with here on the left. I was a wonderful toast Skagen on wholemealtoast. Very delicious. ' For main course we had what you can see on the photo to the right. It's a pork fillet, very tender, with a bearnaise sauce and a kind of mushromssauce served with root vegetables and potatoecake. Also very very good. And to finish it off this wonderful plate with assorted desserts. Brie cheese with crackers, starberries, chocolatecake, toscacake and some chocolate thing and some fruitfromage. Very good. I'm afraid I can't give you the recipes for theese dishes (or I maybe could but I won't). Tomorrow morning I'm going to do my usual bloodtests so I'm not allowed to eat after midnight and until 8.30AM when the tests are drawn. I hate it because I always get a bad...

Soon I will be off to the ship and go on the 24-hour cruise. I'm looking forward to that but hope it will be nice weather. Just a while ago we had the first snow. I really don't like this season with snow and ice but it's OK for Lucia, Christmas and New Year. After that and before it should be green. The cruise is a working cruise and we will have conference the whole day tomorrow but tonight we have the evening off. Of course we will have dinner together and probably share some good times in the showbar. H is so nice and he's giving me and one other lady lift to the ship. Hopefully he will fetch us tomorrow night as well :-) I'm glad though that I'm not in LA now with the big fires going on. J had a photo on her blog on which you could see the sun clouded by the smoke. It must be awful especially since it's not that far away. We are soon off so I'd better finish this and wish you all a lovely Sunday evening. I'm really proud of S who is so close to ...

We are back again from Gavle where we had a wonderful stay, as usual. Good food, nice company and wonderful sleep. Yesterday and today H had hockeymatches and this weekend there has been an agent there to watch him and tonight they were to sign contract I think. We haven't heard yet but it was almost ready. That's so nice for him and it means that someone is marketing him in USA for instance. He is very good and I hope his dreams come true. After we got back I went shopping and then started washing. I have to wash the clothes I'm going to take tomorrow and also iron them. So tomorrow I will have to pack and then I'm off to Cinderella with the Rheumatic association for a conference. I hope it will be fruitful and benefit all members. Then start this crazy week with tests on Tuesday (bloodtests before doctor visit), Wednesday information from employment centre, Job security foundation and others at work, Thursday the big farewell party at work with, so far, 185 people acc...

OK now we are here and we have just had dinner. The rest of the gang is at Lakerol arena where H is playing icehockey match tonight. I stayed home with Hilma and because of that I can also watch Idol which I like. H.E.A.T is playing tonight in Halmstad together with Sabaton. Once again Nils Molin will sing with them since Kenny isn't fully recovered yet. Hopefully he will be back this coming week. L had made a wonderful dish for dinner and here's the recipe: Chicken with mango chutney 1 kg chicken fillet 3 dl cream (lightly whipped) 1 dl mango chutney original 1 tablespoon sambal oelek 1 tablespoon curry 2 garlic clover 1 sliced pepper (can be excluded) Wholemeal rice Fry the chicken fillet (or use a ready grilled). Boil the rice and mix the rice with the sliced chickenfillet and pepper. Stir cream, mango chutney and the spices and pour over. Cover with cheese and place in 225C oven for about 15 minutes. I promise you that this is delicious. Now it's time for Idol so I'...

We are ready to go to Gavle now so I won't have time to write as much as usual.

Well, it's supposed to be fullmoon tonight but since our weather is, like it has been forever, grey,cloudy and rainy you can't actually see it. This weather really gets you down but I try to stay positive. At least I see some daylight every day. Most people don't since they work all day. Nothing much happened today. At work we had a meeting and we talked a lot about what is going to happen next year. I and many with me has one year notice with full pay but we do have to be available for work. They want us, of course, to get a new job asap so they won't have to pay us salary. It's Goverment money you know. It's different with us working for 28 years against the ones sitting in Parliement. If they don't get elected at the next election they get to receive a pension even if they get a new job. So you see it is a big difference. I'm not bitter as our Tony Richardsson used to say :-) For dinner today I made pasta with a baconsauce and here comes the recipe: M...
