It’s amazing how time flies when you’re busy. This summer has been a hectic one, with lots of stuff happening. Both me and Marianne have been busy at work, and pretty much all weekends since early May have been booked; Birthday parties, school reunions, wedding party etc1. It’s been fun, but also quite exhausting. That’s why we’re really looking forward to our summer holiday, beginning next friday!
We’re going to spend the first week up north, going to our family cabin in Senja, visiting family in Bardu, and then going to Marianne’s mum who will be dogsitting while we’re going to Mallorca for two weeks. Whohoo!
1Â seen a few of movies, only two worth mentioning:
-Â Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: brilliant movie, great adaptation of the book, lots of magic and well-made special effects. I think Chris Columbus did the best job in capturing the magical atmosphere from the books, so I find the first two movies to be the best, but this one still gets a 9/10.
- I also went to see Transformers, which was a mediocre movie IMHO. Special effects 10/10, but the story, dialog, acting etc: 2/10.
Oh, almost forgot (how could I), I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in just a couple of days, I couldn’t put the book down. Quite sad that this seven year journey has now ended, but at least we have two more movies to look forward to. The book left a bit too many loose ends, so it was great to read JK Rowling’s online interview where she gave a bit more information about the lives of the main characters after then end of the last book. Fantastic book that will stand as the culmination of a unique and magical coming-of-age story that will undoubtedly live on for years and years.
I know that the summer is coming to an end here in the northern parts of the northern hemisphere, but since this is the beginning of my summer vacation I would like to wish everyone a happy summer!
Happy summer to you, too, and have fun and sun!
\r\n\r\nWhere would I find that online interview with JK Rowling? I hope to get the book soon and afterwards I guess I\’d like to read the follow-up aswell.\r\n\r\nOh and you say you can go even further up north? Unbelievable 
Thanks
