Hej kära bloggläsare!
If your name is Hubert or Hugo, then today is your day!
Weather is wonderful!! It was 64F today, no clouds, light breeze. And it is november. Unbelievable.
I had a dr appt in Wichita today. I was running late and surprised my blood pressure did not show that!!! And they were running behind also. Good appt. Nothing special. But I did say ‘Merry Christmas’ for the first time. Won’t see any of the staff and my doc unitl february. Nice group of people.

My nurse did explain to me about who gets the H1N1 shot and why. She said that people over 50 have been exposed to the swine flu many times in their lives. It is not a new disease. We have a bit of resistance to it. Young people have not been exposed to it very often and are more apt to get it. My doc said that wash hands or use sanitiser often, don’t touch your face, gargle, drink hot liquids.
My friend David Friday saw that I tweeted I was in the city, so he responded that I could come get the painting I bought from him. Thank God for GPS!!! I had no clue how to get to his barbershop but no problem. I drove there like I lived in the city. It may not always be the most direct or easiest route, but if you are clueless, it is a God-send. Love my painting. He painted it from a photo I took. I am so honoured!

Then I needed some lunch. But where to go??? I do not enjoy eating alone, but I can do it. I had a sandwich place in mind but………..next door is an ice cream place. What a dilemma. I could not have both. The ice cream won. And I ate it outside. It was pretty good, but absolutely not even close to GB Glace. The best thing in Sweden, next to the people!!! I would kill for one of their ice cream bars now.


I did some shopping and then came home. I had my iPod in the car. What a joy!! On the way home I listened to Peter, Paul, and Mary: In Concert. I maybe don’t sound like Mary, but I can sing with vigor and lots of feeling!! On the way to the city, I listened to Sting – If On A Winter’s Night. It is an awesome album. It is quiet and peaceful, like hot chocolate by a warm fire. Both of those albums had the same song on them — A Soalin’ or Soal Cake. I love it. I also listened to some wonderful Swedish folk music with touches my soul. The In Concert album is very special to me. I saw that concert live in Emporia Kansas. Wow. (A Soalin’ is about Wassailing.)


Today was a really good day.
‘An apple, a pear, a plum, or a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry’.
