A lot + sun + bath

Hello everyone out there

Finally the summer has come to, with some warmth and a nice big sun :-)). That really does a lot to your mind. Today I actually took my second bath for this summer, it was actually a bit colder than the time Sara and I jumped in the lake a couple weeks ago. Brrrr, but I went into the water twice anyway. I just can´t let it be there for just looking at it :-)). The lake here at the office is so nice to go to and just sit down for a while and just take a calm moment.


The lake "Vikern" just outside our office.

On monday and tuesday we had one of our authors here for a visit, Tommy. He came on his motorbike all the way from Stockholm. Not just for a visit we also did some work on his book. Some layout stuff and choosing pictures, going trough the text a bit. Actually John took a new photo too, that will be in the book. That will be more personal than the other picture from a big photo company. I like it that way books shall be personal well at least the ones our authors is writing. The books they are writing is theirs and no ones elses!

Co-workers are good to have they are inspiring, fun (they always have a laugh for you), they are helpful in every way they can and that is worth a lot. It is worth a lot to me, I really appreciate them very much. Everyone should have co-workers like this!
Today was Saras last working day, she is going on holiday so I just want to say to Sara: -Have a nice time in Austria and send us a postcard or some photos :-)), say hello to Kristoff also.

Ohh I almost forgett something :-)). We have finally got some apple cake that John has done. We have kind off teasing him about apple cake that he had done at his house and not letting us taste it (Sara had, she has a room there to). Finally we all got to taste it and it was good:-)). Thanks John, you have to do it again!

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

Sunnny days, rainy days

Happy days

"Summerdays comes, summerdays goes.
And the weather is as volatile as life can be."

Small things like the sun, a nice summers day and getting wild flowers from your co-workers makes your life happy and nice, it makes the day :-)).


Look what I got from John and Sara.

As Sara mentioned we actually had our first bath in the lake next to our office. It was nice and warmer than I thought it should be! We were kind of warm after doing some work on the author school, well I just helped a bit and then the bath cooled us down. We will definitely do that some more times.

We all have our different interests. I love my dogs and old horse, Sara likes riding, John has his kayak building and so on. But on Saturday Marianne actually had persuaded John to take a ride in the forest with me on Sunday, big surprise when I got that sms :-)). But that is typical for Marianne, she can get anybody to do something strange or odd. And we did take a ride for about an our or so on Sunday, I had Ophelia (Marianne's horse) and John had Sunny. He did really well and did not fall of despite Ophelia's very fast turn to the right touching Sunny and him. Well done John. Me then ? Hmmmffrr I was hanging around Ophelia's neck with one foot in the stirrup. Ophelia is totally terrified of calves and sheep but it was something else she saw or heard this time. She will be better in time.

The first book for Gandalf Publishing is sent for printing now !!! Very exciting will it be when we actually have it in our hands. And tomorrow we will hopefully have another book in our hands, and another book is at the printers.

Have a nice evening and take care.
