Wednesday again

Hello everyone

Well last week was kind of short and this week is too! So we are kind of mixing up the days here :-). I was kind of bored on Friday but the sun was nice. I have been out of work for some time so I really enjoy to work here at Bombadil with all the nice and fun people. That is the reason why I was bored!, I missed them.

The spring flowers are up more and more. I actually now have seen the blue hepatica (blåsippa) and the wood anemone (vitsippa) on the way to the stable. So it´s definitely spring in the air in many ways now :-)). Ohhh, John has taken a nice photo on a leave to a wild strawberry, so they are coming up too! Look at the picture.

On work I´m setting books as usual and doing some more templates. It is actually funny and you learn a lot while doing it. Soon we are sending some books for printing again.

Pixie has got a bit fat so she is not getting any treats if she´s not have done something really good. Like when she behaved very well when I trimmed her claws yesterday (and today). And she also have tried the leash I use on my dogs at the dogshows. Hmm she has to train a bit more with that I think. But she stands still very good on her own, that is not so many dogs doing. She is really great on that.

Bye bye for this time

Time after time

Recently, the time zones have been playing up. Sweden is traditionally one hour ahead of the UK, however due to a rent in the space/time continuum, Sweden is temporarily three days behind. Therefore I am not writing my Friday blog entry on Friday, you are just reading it on Monday.

Honest...

It's a very beautiful day in Sweden today. We had around half a metre of snow on Sunday with the result that I fell out of my house and into a large snowdrift this morning. I'm now in the office, but I am on to my third pair of socks of the day.

Our expansion plans are, well, going to plan, which is exciting. If things carry on as they are at the moment, we will have a presence across the globe before too long. In the mean time, Marianne experimented with dog charming...



Then the dog decided that it wasn't charming and got its own back on Marianne.



The flute that she's playing has an interesting history. Niklas was in a musical instrument shop when he happened to stand on it, hence it came into his ownership. It was completely squashed at one end, but he worked on it with a pair of pliers until it played naturals as well as flats.

We're currently working on the Bombadil website, generally updating the interface and adding an FAQ section. If you think it's lacking something, let us know.

In other news, the Bombadil dog currently smells like three-day-old kippers.
