HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Matilda sings this beautiful song - without your breath together with Peter and the choir. The lyrics says in the chorus:  I can't even walk without your air in my lungs I can't even stand if you doesn't watch What would I be  without your breath

I''m sorry I didn't get the whole song but I couldn't sit still more and I needed to clap so this is what you get. This is Peter Johansson in Sankt Anna church in Ostergotland in Sweden. To go here each summer has become a tradition and it's so nice. Like a mini-vacation.

On July 9 I promised I would write more frequent - now it's July 30 and I haven't written since. So bad Mia. But on the other hand you may take it as I have had a lot of fun and haven't had time. Isn't vacation all about relaxing, doing things you want to but don't have the time to do the rest of the year. Or rather you probably have the time but then there are so many "musts" that you don't take the time. For me at least it is like that. When I work I go up at 4AM, starts working at 5.15AM and are home again around 3PM. By then I'm exhausted and I just crash in the sofa in front of TV and instantly falls asleep for around 20 minutes. Then on to cooking and other stuff. Go to bed by 9PM to be able to go up at 4AM and so it goes. So when I'm on vacation I just want to take it as it comes but I also wants to do things, se things, experience things but without stress and pressure. So what did I do then? Well, I went to Malmo July 10 and sta...

What a wonderful start to my vacation. Yesterday me, Hasse and Emil were so excited about the nice weather that we decided to do a little excursion. I wanted to go by boat in lake Malaren to Drottningholm but H and E didn't want to go by boat but they did want to go to Drottningholm. Emil couldn't remember if he had ever been there. Me and Hasse haven't been there for, I think, almost 30 years. We had the most glorious day which started with some "fika" (coffe with a bun) in the castle café when we arrived. Strenghten by the coffee we started our tour. We didn't went inside but just watched the castle from the outside and walked in the beautiful garden. Drottningholm's castle is actually the castle where our King and Queen lives and now also Prince Carl-Philip, Princess Sofia and little prince Alexander. What a wonderful enviroment for them. Parts of the park is therefore not allowed for us to enter and there are guards watching the castle...

I have to work this week and then it's holiday time :-) I only have 3 days this week to do everything at work like invoicing, wages and more and on top on that I (silly me since I do the schedule) had the Monday lunch today.  And as I put photos on Facebook there has been a demand to get the recipe so OK I will place it here as well because it's not many of you that will receive our cookbook.  This is an example from 2014. It's called at 11 o'clock with us and that is because we always eat lunch at 11AM. The recipe for Teriyaki chicken with potatoe roll and salat.

  The hotel or rather B&B Last weekend we went to the beautiful little hamlet Svardsjo in Dalarna to celebrate Gunilla who turned 50 (in January but since it's so cold then she wanted to have the party in the summer). We were 24 people gathered, all the closest family members, which was Hasse (father), Gittan (mother), me (current wife), Staffan (current husband to Gittan), Gunilla (of course), her sambo Per, Gunillas 3 girls Lisa, Malin and Klara with their spouses, Malin also have two girls (our great grandchildren). Then Staffan (son), Lena (his spouse) and their 3 children Linnea, Henrik and Oskar with their spouses and of course our own Jonas with his sambo Mandy and Emil. Beautiful setting We had booked room at a little hotel, more B&B, by the lake Svardsjon and the only ones in the hotel were we! So we owned it :-) So nice and very picturesque, chicken happily picking around in the garden (and their egg we had for breakfast).  The days starte...
