Hmmm late blog

Not Wednesday but Thursday.

Well I'm late to blog this week, I know I should have done it yesterday (Thursday) but I totaly forgot it, hmmmrrffff. The truth I don't have clue what to write. But I put in a picture, as usual :-) and talk a bit round that.



Well this is my two much loved dogs. They are of the dog race Basenji, one of the oldest races in the world. It is an African dog race from the Congo area, central Congo. I could talk a lot of the history but that will defenitely be to much :-). So if someone is intrested to know more just google "basenji" and you get a lot if info :-).
The tricolored one is my 12 year old "Luppe" his real name is Lucky Swede's Mr Lupus. The red one is my little sweet bitch "Sunny" her full name is Triad's Summer Dream, I actually got to choose that name :-). Well she is hmmm not that funny right now because she has just started her "season" thing!
They both love the sun and as soon as it is a sunny spot outside or inside they are there. Like in the picture it was one of the first sunny and warm days this summer. So this turning to autumn and winter we all three have the same thoughts about, brrrr. We want sun, warm and nice weather.

I will end with two quatations that fits so good to my dogs. First the one that fits "Luppes" spirit in his youger days. Then one that fit "Sunny" when she was a puppy (she is 8 years now).

"Only the tame birds have a longing
The wild flies"
~Elmer Diktonius

"A single sunbeam is enough to
drive away many shadows"

Hmm maybe my translation from Swedish to English in these two is not that correct but I hope you understand it anyway, hmm maybe I already have put it out once but sometimes the memory is a bit short :-).

bye bye for this time

Working man

Hi all

Well my time to blog again. Last week my thought was to show some pictures of when Mattias (our right-hand-man) did some work. But we couldn't find the card reader to the SanDisk card. So it comes this week instead :-).
Well Mattias is doing a lot of things, both possible and impossible things. And he is always very helpful and try to help if he can. He always makes up when he can! And he is also good at massage!!!

He has in recent weeks, with some help has his hands full of finishing making the horse boxes ready for Ophelia and Sunny to move in. The boxes are ready now and they look nice :-). Well done Mattias!


The nice new boxes.

The boxes are big and nice just waiting for the horses to move in. Well there must of course be some soft straw, sawdust or peat on the floor. And then it´s ready for the horses! Well Mattias has to try them (the boxes) too. So his new name now is Ophelia :-):-):-):-).


Mattias our right-hand-man "as" Ophelia.

And now he has his hands full with making place for a nice little paddock (field) for the horses to be out during the days. Well he must first take away some old asphalt. Hmmm wrong first we had to set fire on the old rubbish pile, that was fun :-). We, well me and him just put some paper and then he poured on some kind of fuel and then............. pooooooof it said. Sh........t wich blow it was and it did get really warm also. I couldn't be near it any longer!


The fire, look how high the flames became!

So things happens on the Bombadil office ground. And soon the horses will move from the place where I have my old "Maxen" to the office area :-).

Will end with these words:

"It is a consolation that autumn is so beautiful."

Hmm I'm not liking the autumn but these words are pretty nice :-).

Bye bye until next time

Foggy day, "foggy" head

Hello

Well today my head feels a bit dizzy or perhaps you could say "foggy" :-). Im not sure what to blog about (again)! So as usual I take some help from pictures when I feel like that!

The other day when I biked to work and the morning was quite cold and the ground still warm, then the fog turned up over the lake just outside the office. So just look at the pictures and feel good about that the autumn is here, or feel bad. Hmmm Im not so fond of the autumn as you might have understand. Ohh by the way the pictures is taken by the mobile phone so not the best quality on them.





Enjoy the pictures or not :-). I will end with these words.

does not weigh up to a friend"

Bye bye

Nature and water

Hi you all out there!

Well this is that kind of day that I don´t know what to blog about. So I just looked after some eventually picture to put in the blog. Hmmm maybe say something around them, came my thought. So here are some pictures that I took about 1-1½ week ago on a marvellous Saturday at a small lake with some very good friends.

In these small lake you could actually fish if you had this "fishing card" for the area. It was several small lakes like this and a lot of people out having a nice time and of course fishing :-). We just went out there to have a nice time, a relaxing time and day. None of us had any fishing gear with us but we did barbecue some sausages (Hot Dog) over an open fire. The sausages said "wheeeee-kaboom!" when they where ready to eat. Hmmm well they kind of cracked a bit by that sound :-).

And of course the first reason that we went up there was to see these funny bird houses that a man had done and put up in the trees. There where a lot of them in different sizes and shapes and they had also names, well some of them. It was really funny to see these and that actually some man just doing them and putting them up for just his own pleasure, and letting other people see them. It was a lot of them and I really want to go up there some more time and take some more photos of these funny bird houses. And hopefully have a nice time again with my marvellous friends.

have a nice night

Seeing things, small words

Hello out there

In the last blog I wrote I mentioned something about confusing days and weeks. Well I´m still confused in an strange way! A bit the Spanish books that I´m setting (soon finished) has a little bit to do with it too. I don´t know what it is, but it is a strange feeling. In some way I will sort this out (I hope).
As everybody (I think) when they have this kind of strange feeling they need "small" words or maybe a nice picture as encouragement. Well I at least need/want that and I do get it also :-)) from my very best friends here at Bombadil :-)). It is really nice and I appreciate it a lot, maybe more than you might understand. Thanks to you all and a special one too.

The other day when I came home from work and went to the backside of our house I saw it!! A nice thing in the nature that really "hit me". It really caught (fångade) me and my mind. It was a Sunflower that had taken support to rise up, by the apple tree, it was totaly tangled in there! It was so simple and so nice and beautiful, it made me Happy :-)). It is strange that this simple but very nice thing caught me like that!


The sunflower and apple tree that "hit" me. Taken by mobile phone.

So you all out there take a look around you and try too se a bit more than just the thing in front of your eyes. It is just amazing what you can see and will see!

To imagine is everything"

Mari, that hopes you all have good friends out there

Heat and thunderstorms

Hello all of you out there!

Well today here at Bombadil there has been some difference in the weather. I'm right now sitting in a very hot office room, almost like a sauna. Outside it has been changing weather, everything from amazing sunshine, to thunderstorm and rain :-)):-)). But it´s better this way than having constantly bad weather. I really love sunshine and warmth. And the sky can really be amazing at this time, with all the different cloud shapes and colours. Just look at the picture John took at a another time when it was thunderstorm, it was early in the spring this year. It´s just amazing.


It was at this jetty I took a swim yesterday and some other days.

Today one of our authors came for a visit. It was John Lomborg who has written the book "Leos Rike". It will be released sometime later his year. "Our" John took the opportunity to take pictures for the cover to John L's book and even filmed a bit for some use. I don´t know exactly for what but something it will be :-)):-)).

And today we also sent another book for printing, that will also released later. Well it will be later because a lot of peoples are going for their summer vacations. So have patience out there if you are waiting, it will come :-)):-)).

Ohh it´s just so lovely these sunny days. I´m so happy in this weather even when it´s warm like these past days. And as I have mentioned before I´m also having some excellent/perfect co-workers that does it too. thanks too you.

have a nice weekend
Mari
