Rheumatic meeting for new members

Yesterday we had a meeting for new members with the Rheumatic association but there weren't that many that came and noone really new :-( This is kind of sad. You try to arrange nice social meetings so we can get together and talk thus strenghtening us. We who came had a lovely time chatting, eating sandwiches and drinking coffee. I also had a brief information about our association and activities planned during the springseason. Next in line is a lecture from our local morticians. It's sounds worse than it is. Everyone of us will sometime in life experience the loss of someone loved and closed ot us. Are we then ready to deal with everything around the funeral? Do we know what to do? Had the departed told his or hers last wishes? Can I myself write down how I want my funeral to be? Insurances? And many many more questions will be answered. I think it will be very interesting. I have not yet got a job and it sucks!!! I have applied for numerous but haven't heard from th...

H.E.A.T on National Radio

Did I forget to tell you that H.E.A.T was on National Radio yesterday? Well, they were anyway. They did an interview due to the fact that their song BEG BEG BEG was song of the week last week. So this week they played both 1000 miles and BEG BEG BEG as well as interviewing the guys. I think they did a great job. http://www.sr.se/webbradio/webbradio.asp?type=db&Id=2242070&BroadcastDate=&IsBlock= You can listen to it on the link above although it's in Swedish but the music is of course in English.  They are mostly talking about how and if the Melodifestivalen have changed them and also about their new album "Freedom Rock". You can hear Jona, Eric, Crash and Jimmy. Otherwise we have had a wonderful sunny day today and what do I do then? I fall asleep in the chair and after 2 hours Hasse wakes me up so I missed most of it :-( Here are some private photos from the afterparty after the Eurovision tryout last year. Hasse, Jona and Mandy  Me, Jona an...

Did you think the snow was starting to fade?

Think again ;-) Today has been a day of sunshine and heavy snowing, not at the same time though. I went to Norrtälje this morning to meet with my coach and I had a lot of thoughts when going there. We talked it through and now I might be changing totally - workwise that is. I have for the last 30 years worked with economy in different ways. But now I'm into working with people - as a jobcoach. And maybe in a specific direction which is with disabled or with people with some sort of handicap. This is a big group that wants and needs to work and often have more difficulties to overcome. I have contacted my contact at the Employment office to get more details on what I need, education, job opurtunities, salary etc. And of course what you are expected to do. I have a rough idea and I have seen my jobcoach in action of course. It's very exciting and hopefully I will get some positive answers and then when I meet with my jobcoach the next time we can hopefully choose the path ...

Nice Sunday with birthday dinner

  Me and Hasse Today we had a nice time first visiting Mom at the home for elderly. It was me, Hasse and Jonas. Emil was home with a bad cold. We brought candy, which was good because she was out of it, cinnamon buns, magazines and a present, a very cute little teapot and cup. She was very happy for that. She actually spoke very good today and I understood most of it. Danniel and Jonas Afterwards we went to Danniel invited by him to have birthday dinner. One week late but better late than never.We had a delicious starter - toast with shrimphotchpotch and avocado. Great since we were really hungry. Main course was a wonderfully marinated porkfillet with potatoegratin and sallad. Everything tasted excellent. For dessert we had bought a chocalatecake which was very good but very filling. We chatted a lot and Jonas told us about the gig they had last night in Norrtälje which was great. They had a lot of fun and I think it was because they hadn't played in a long time since they have ...

H.E.A.T's Beg Beg Beg song of the week in Swedish National radio :-)

 Thank's Daz for the poster. Great job! I just have to share this with you. As you can see the song is the best new song this week according to 86% of the listeners and 2 professional musicians, and they are big in the business, Bengt Palmers and Gunilla Backman (who among other things has played the role of Ellen in Miss Saigon and Fantine in Les Miserables in London) They both loved H.E.A.T, the song and the singer. Listen to the broadcast on this link below. You have to go a bit into it and I suppose if you are Englishspeaking you won't understand much ;-) http://www.sr.se/webbradio/webbradio.asp?type=broadcast&Id=2229159&BroadcastDate=&IsBlock= Tomorrow H.E.A.T will play at Havspiren in Norrtälje so be sure to go if you are nearby :-) Have a nice evening and Saturday whatever you do.

Spring anyone?

  A totally wonderful photo of springflowers by Sonja Cygnel I tried to write yesterday but something was wrong with my Blogger and I couldn't write anything so now I try again. Monday evening we had the annual meeting with the Rheumatic assocation. We had 42 people announcing that they would come but only 27 showed up. We all believe it's due to the weathersituation we have right now here. Specially on Monday the commute situation was chaos, totally chaos. No subways, no trains, people stood in line for hours waiting for buses and when there finally came a bus people got crazy. Imagine one bus and hundreds of people waiting in - 20C for hours. You get the panic, anger and all feelings between. So if some people didn't show up I completely understand.     Ritva who was our guest chairman But we that did show up had a good time. We had Lars-Åke playing the accordion, then we had long open sandwich and beer (lightbeer of course) and water. Then the meeting and afterwar...
