HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Today H.E.A.T started their European tour together with the Poodles and Treat. The tour is called Sweden Rocks Europe tour 2010. Due to the Islandic vulcano and the ashcloud they didn't want to wait too long and maybe not be able to be there at all so today they started the tour by bus. They are going to Madrid where the first concert is on Friday. Saturday in Pamplona and Sunday in Barcelona. My niece Sonia, her fiance Eric, Aida and her boyfriend Nacho Losada are going to see them in Barcelona. I'm so envious of them to see H.E.A.T but also that Jonas, once again, get to meet our relatives who I have never met. Well, not envious because I think it's great but I would have loved to be there too. My bonusdaughter Gunilla, her boyfriend Per and Klara were supposed to go to Barcelona to see Zlatan play at Camp Neu but now with all the uncertainty they decided to cancel. My bonusgrandchild Linnea is supposed to go to Turkey to work as activity leader for Ving in Alanya...

OK, I didn't write for a week but you didn't have to be that sour blog so you removed my bloglist of friends! This week started out with me and my friend Inger went to see flats for her daughter who is in Australia at the moment. We saw 3 apartments, 2 rooms with kitchen and we absolutely fell in love with the first one. A big, big balcony, a big bedroom, fresh bathroom, big livingroom and a kitchen/diner. The other two wasn't any good so Inger decided to bid on the first one. On Friday she won the bidding and her daughter has a very nice flat. Tuesday I went to Södertälje Rheumatic association where we had a wonderful 3-course lunch, were taught about makin jewellery of stones and also got to try paint on silk. All in all a wonderful day. Wednesday I met with a former workcollegue from SRSA for lunch and update of what's happened to everyone. She just received new that she has got a new job - as night portier at Scandic Infra city. Congrats Lotta. Thursday eveni...

 Jona, Polina and Daz I'm back home from Sweden Rock cruise and I had a great time :-)  Me and Pär (Eric's Dad) We embarked the ship and I was actually the first one onboard said the security later that night. After installing in the cabin we went for dinner. I had booked for 2 but we ended up being 6 which was very nice. We knew a lot of people because parents, siblings, in-laws, cousins, aunts, girlfriends etc etc was onboard. Great fun to see everyone again. Especially the fans from England, Norway and Russia. Shortly after dinner it was time to go to the Starlight where the show was to be. While waiting we drank drinks and for the first time in my life I had vodka and Red Bull. It tasted so good, not at all like it was alcohol in it ;-) Dangerous things. I believe it was that which kept me up until 4 - 1/2 5 in the morning. Not like me at all but we had so much fun. When the security sealed off all the public places we ended up in cabins partying :-) or in the corrido...

I know, I have been so bad in writing this week but as usual full speed ahead and to tell you the truth I also have a blog in Swedish which takes a bit of my time too. Anyway I felt it was time to fill you in what has happened. Today me, Helen, Bianca and Danniel have celebrated mother's 86th birthday. We took her on a tour with ferry on Lake Malaren and then to a restaurant that litteraly was on the water. Mother loves water and has talked a lot about going on a cruise. She is not able to obviously but this was the closest thing to it. The restaurant Jungfrusund was very nice, the food excellent and I can certainly recommend it if you are in the neighbourhood. After a long lunch when mother also had her presents, a necklace and a perfume (but she seemed most happy about the wrapping paper) we headed home with her but first we went to the house where she used to live. She really appreciated it even though she didn't remember it properly. We saw the first "tussilago...

Changing your clocks I mean? I hate it! I think it's because I'm an evening/nightperson and have trouble getting up in the morning. I do get up but I'm halfdead until 10 AM or something. When I go to USA it's much easier for me to adjust to the time even though it's 9 hours timedifference. But when I get home it's awful. Weeks of dizziness, sick to my stomach and falling asleep everywhere. This can lasts for a week or more. But it so much worth it!! To be able to see my sister, brother in law, nieces, T and the rest of the family. When one has found once sister this late in life like I have I really want to grab every opportunity to meet even though we live in different continents. I'm gonna let you know about my week. Wednesday boardmeeting with the Rheumatic association and after that directly into town for the annual meeting with the district. Thursday met my doctor. I'm not doing that well. He wants to send me off so I can get some rest and also ...

Does the title sound exciting? Well, H.E.A.T might and why I wrote that is because when I read the paper today I saw that H.E.A.T is to play on Gröna Lund, our amusement park here in Stockholm, July 27. Guess who's gonna be there? Was it hard? You're right, it's yours truly :-) Not long now until the cruise. I hope we will have great fun. This is the ship we're cruising with, M/S Galaxy We were supposed to have had a lecture today from the mortitians but they called and said they had noone to send because of illnesses and education. Maybe it's deadseason, hahaha. So I decided we should have the meeting anyway and inform about the Rheumatic association for those who cam. I had a hard time reaching everyone because I didn't have phone or e-mailaddress to everyone. We had coffe and chatted for a good hour and we all enjoyed it so a good afternoon. Tomorrow we have boardmeeting and directly after that we head to Stockholm for the annual meeting of the District. I...

I woke up at 5.50 AM this morning and I have no idea why :-) Maybe it was the beautiful sunshine and the blue sky. It's not like me but and I don't need it either since I'm still out of work. But I got up and went ahead and made breakfast for me and Hasse. A very good one I might add. We have a habit now since I became unemployed and that is we eat breakfast for an hour or more, chatting, reading the newspaper and eating in a calm mood. This is the way to start the day! But I'm so angry because I have gained so much weight since last year which I discovered today when I cleaned my wardrobes. I had to throw away a lot of clothes and this makes me so sad and so angry. I'm not the one that talks about weight, mine or others because that is not important to me. The important about a fellowhuman is the inside and the heart. The first thing I notice about a person is his or her eyes. Then I see the rest, but if the eyes are kind and friendly the chance is that the per...
