Thumbs up

A sunny day at Lord's, watching the cricket with good company and a couple of bottles of wine.

Tolkien Florida! And Tolkien! And Lewis!

Summer camp. I'm having an absolutely wonderful time, even with the heat. Plus, the classes are really fun and the people are extremely nice.

Mountains! Okay, so they might be a bit misplaced in the Shire.

But Bilbo liked them...

It doesn't occur to you just how big mountains are when you live amongst hills. Yes, I've seen mountains. Heck, I've sat in a ditch at midnight with friends after we slid off the road during a freak blizzard on a mountain in Vermont.

But it does not compare to flying above the clouds, the ground being blurrily far away, and having the cold, jagged tip of a really big mountain thrust through the layer of floating water before you. Sure, I knew that mountains are really big. And I knew that mountain ranges, by definition, contain a really lot of mountains. But I didn't quite get it until I was looking at them from above.

Jumping from a mini trampoline into a paddling pool knowing full well that at least half your dress is going to get soaked and not caring because you know you can go lie in the sun on the big trampoline afterwards.

Ah, summer.

I assign digital radio.

I don't know what it is called in english, but we call it DAB Radio.

Because of that we now have a station called DR(Denmarks Radio) litteraure and on sunday they are reading the Hobbit! I for one am going to listen to radio all sunday. . .

The timming was perfect, as I was just about to start reading the Hobbit my self.
