HOT HOT H.E.A.T

I'm sorry I haven't written since the party Thursday night but I have been on this course in Nynashamn and I didn't have access to a computer. I drove down to Nynashamn on Friday with two other ladies from the Rheumatic association who I picked up outside their homes. We came down in good time to get our rooms and gather before dinner which by the way is excellent at Nynasgarden. For starter we had a Gazpach o soup with grilled prawns on a toast. It was very very good. Main course was a vealentrecôte with baked potatoe and a winesauce. This was on Saturday which was a very long day with lot of lectures. Since we are many different associations represented among them blind, deaf, epileptic, heart- and lung disease, mental illnesses and more a lot of things can happen. And yesterday it did. Two of our participants had epileptic attack first one in the middle of class and the other in the evening. That was also more serious because they had to call ambulance and she was then t...

This is a photo of me and my coworker R. We are, as you can see, having a great time. OK, I'm not that sober but I missed the date with 50 minutes. I didn't have time to write yesterday with all the preparations for the party so instead I write now, not quite sober. It was really a wonderful party and it was so fun to meet everyone, former and present coworkers. Some who you haven't seen for a very long time. Lots of memories were shared but also questions like what are you going to do after this? I think we will stay connected some of us but I hope we will see each other. Anyway it's now 1.10AM and I'm tired so I really need to go to bed because tomorrow it's time for Nynashamn.

This afternoon it started snowing and it's really beautiful. It actually stays on the ground since it has been cold and icy all day. When I was out walking Hilma she went nuts. She just loves the snow especially eating it. Every winter it's the same she rather eat the snow than drink water. Isn't that strange? Does any of you have a dog that does the same? Today I started work late since we had this information all afternoon but do you think I got anything done? I slept in until 07.30 which was very nice. Then had a lovely breakfast. I was going to watch TV a favourite show I have that is called A place in the sun, but suddenly our TV didn't work :-( We have installed a satellite dish last Friday and it hasn't been working properly since so I got so frustrated. I was trying to get it to work and the clock kept ticking. Finally I had to take a shower, do my hair and makeup, eat lunch and then off to work so I actually ended up stressing. Oh, I forgot I cut H's ha...

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...
