Sleep on sofa

Hi all out there!Hmm this morning it was cold to bike to work, brrrr. Well the sun was kind half up but not warming at all. I was quite tired but not as much tired like the tuesday morning. Well I have a tendency to fall into sleep in the sofa with the television on, and the laptop too :-)). Well it was like that in this case. On the monday evening I watched the TV, answering some mails, chatting a bit and then "bonk" or what you say, I was suddenly fall to sleep and wake up in the night at 02.30 (swedish time). I was very clearly wake i could hardly fall to sleep again. So that is the reason why I was so tired. This is so typically me always falling to sleep in the sofa and having the tv on. The tv is the most perfectly sleeping pill in the world :-)):-)).

Like right now :-)). I´m doing the blog, chatting a bit with my sister, answering mail (yes I have several windows open, I have a widescreen:-)) and at he same time watching the football match between Sweden and Albania, right now they have half time breake and Sweden is in the lead for the moment. Hmm maybe i should not do so much at the same time but I´m like that want to help and have really hard to say no. But I like to help, that´s me in a nutshell (don´t know if you can say so but I do).

On the book front I´m right now doing the setting on two books, two totaly different ones. I´s fun to do the setting o n so different books. It´s one poem book and one about horses. Well we all like horses here :-)) and we have two just outside the office door, Ofelia and Sunny.

Ohh the football starts again, I must end this or else it disapears :-)).

Until next time, have a nice week

Mixed stuff

Ohh, now my time to blog again!
The week go so fast I think, well at least it felt like that today. Todays blog will be about some different things.

Last saturday my sister and me was at a tracking test with Ubbe (honour office dog) up in Hällefors, about 6 swedish miles from here. It was quite early so I was up already at 06.00 in the morning. The test is a working test for hunting dogs as daschhound is. He did rather well and got a second price, hmmm he missed a bit in a angle but hasen't he done that he would have got a first price. It is the first price you want and for that you get the CC:s (certifikate). But it was ok because the time was excellent, 32 minutes :-), he has been quite slow before. After that we stayed an watch when they had the badger tests, Ubbe and Molly has only tried it once but will continue with it next season. It was a good day and long day, we was home at about 16.00-16.30 something.
They day after (sunday) I was really tired and fall to sleep on the kitchen sofa (it is a hard one) and sleept there for about 3 ours!! I was kind of "after tired". But it's no good to sleep in the afternoon, I couldn't sleep in the night instead!

In the evening the other day, i think it was on monday. At round 21.00 or something it started to blow and storm quite a lot! It sounded much and then it started to rain also, hmmmm - grrrrrr I just say. This is a typical autumn "thing", autumn storm. I don't like it at all, neither do my dogs! Hopefully it was just this "storm" but I know it will come moore :-(.



Yesterday evening Gun has arranged a "Wellness" evening here at the office. It was one of her son's that came and tell us about some good stuff that you can eat and drink to feel good both in mind and body. We also got to taste a lot of things, like a herbal tea, that tasted quite good actually :-). It was nice so, Thanks Gun!

A normal day in my office room start with me putting on the computor and then I check the mail, answer some, send some further. Then I check if there is some book that I have to start the setting on or continue with one. Maybe I do some corrections on a picture and so goes the day.
Today for exampel it was a short breake when I helped Mattias outside at the stable, I just hold some board. Then some school friends to Josephine came and took a short ridning tour on Sunny. At the same time, Ofelia entangled in the tail in one of the wacky spring gates, they are rubbish and now Mattias understand why I think that :-). Well it did go well and I hold Ofelia so Marianne could take it out from her tail. Then me and Mattias fixed a new normal rope gate instead.

I have in the evenings a bit hard to go to bed, I am an evening and night "owl" :-). I look at tv, internet or fixing with some other stuff on the computor or maybe anything craft things, it depends on my mood at the time.
Quite late, I was actually on my way to bed:-) I got a nice sms on the mobile phone. That made my evening and I was really happy about that :-).
So you all out there make your friends happy with some "small" words, it does not need to be much, just some nice words. Perhaps a few words that you know would make that person happy.

a few barely audible sounds
can link up people

Use nice words to each other!

Mixed things

Hello out there.

Well we have had some nice days now, with sunny weather. And that is so inspiring to me you get more energy, well at least I do. So yesterday I took my lunch outside by the lake and at the same time took a couple of pictures. It is so calming and kind of quiet at the lake, well you can hear the waves but that's it! Sometimes it is nice to be alone for a while, you kind of getting some new spirit. You recover from a lot of noise and other stuff.

And this afternoon I actually took the little Mac outside doing some work on a book. And I actually did a lot on it, nearly finished it. You get more done when you sit outside and don´t have anything else disturbing you! And it was also nice to sit outside and work. It is not on ever place you can do that.

By the lake "Vikern" in Gyttorp, Sweden.

This morning we had a meeting about Graphical profile, our webb site and the social network. It was a lot of talk and some presentations. It was really good and it gives a lot to have these Wednesday meetings, you learn a lot too. Soon you will see the result of it.

Ohh and this Friday it is Midsummer eve. That is a Swedish tradition having a big and high midsummer pole with leaves and flowers attached to it. And you also dance round it (if you want). We here at Bombadil are actually helping to get the arrangement ready in Pershyttan. And that has Marianne arranged, she can get people to do anything, she has big persuasive powers :-)). We are helping with that tomorrow Thursday and on Friday the event actually is. That will be fun and let´s hope for nice weather.

P.S dont forget to look at Author school, part 2

have a nice evening

Late blogging

Well I´m kind of blogging late today. The reason is that I had ½ day at the office. Taking some time to do something for my self, well I was also company to my sister. Everyone should do something for themselves from time to time, it doesn´t need to be much but just something. I have actually had my hair cut today, it was really a long time since I did that about; 1½ years so it was definitely time for it. It´s nice to go in to Örebro (the nearest big city from Gyttorp, about 4 Swedish miles) to do something fun or just go around looking at people, studying them. And it was also nice weather :-)):-)) a bit windy but okay.

Nice weather bring forward some animals like bugs (not so pleasant) and some other creatures that are not so nice. But some week (weeks) ago I actually manage to catch a frog on a photograph (with my film camera). Well the truth is that it almost jumped on me when I was going up from the ground. I had been lying down trying to take some close up pictures at some flowers. It is fun to take pictures and I´m still trying to learn how the digital camera works, and I´m not pleased with my self on how it goes. But that is me in a "nutshell".



At my last blog I was mentioning that I hoped we should send another book for printing. Well that was a bit wrong but not much. It took a few more days to get it ready for printing. But it is now sent for printing. Sometimes it takes a bit longer than you think but that is a thing that happen to everyone and everything.

Hopefully we will send another book for printing in a short time, the first one for our sister company Gandalf Publishing. That is a bit special and it is a very nice book. That kind of book that you want to have in your bookshelf, well I want it :-)).

over and out

Cold but sunny

Hello everyone

Today it was brrrrr in the morning when I was going to work, 13 degrees cold. I don´t like that att all, but one good thing was that it was sunny outside :-)):-)). And it snowed again on Monday afternoon and through the night. John was going by car to the airport at Arlanda in that snowy weather, as he was going to Geneva. But he arrived safely!

Look at the picture taken from my office window and how it looks like with all the new snow.

Right now I´m setting an English book, and are doing some small changes. It is funny to do this and it will even be more fun when we get the book in our hands :-)). This book is a new print book.

Today there was a lot of people here to visit Bombadil and the Moon-Mine project. It is always nice when people come to visit us, wherever they are from.
Sara is working with a lot of things and specially with "The world book day", look at the homepage to see more info about that. And all of you out there send us your stories!

Today I will go home earlier because I will go to a knitting café in Nora, it will be fun to meet some other people who also like to knit.
Tomorrow I will bring some apple pie for us so I must not forget to bring the apples with me home.

Have a nice day.
Mari (Pixie is not here right now)
