The biggest cinema event this summer was the final part of Harry Potter, without a doubt. After a couple days of mental preparations, I was sitting in the cinema, with high expectations, waiting for the big finale of the ten-year-long adventure. I wasn’t disappointed. The movie was even a little better than I thought it would be.
This is the first of my five concert reviews from the Hanson week in London, June 2011. We were a big group of girls from Sweden who travelled together and stayed at the same hostel. On the first concert day we met in the line outside King’s College, where we patiently waited to get our tickets and The Story-VIP card. We made time pass quickly by dancing… After many long hours it was finally time for Middle of Nowhere!
I couldn’t stand sitting inside the whole day when the sun was shining outside! So I took my boyfriend with me for a walk to the waterfall just beneath the mountain some mile from where he lives.
We went out geocaching tonight as well. But we weren’t as successful as yesterday, we didn’t find as many caches. But we did see a beautiful church that I didn’t know about before, and a beautiful area where I would like to go on a day off with a picnic basket!
My sister’s fiancé introduced me to a new hobby – geocaching. Short summary: with the help of GPS coordinates you search for hidden jars and boxes (caches) where you put your name on a list. I was fascinated that there are so many who do this around the world. Tonight I went out with my siblings and previously mentioned fiancé for our first geocaching trip together!
Tomorrow I’m going to London! I’ll be away for a week. Why? Hanson! My favourite band of all time is finally coming back to Europe for some real concerts – a total of 5 concerts in London. One album each evening. There are many songs that I’ve waited for 14 years to hear live, so this will be a journey I’ll never forget!
On Thursday evening I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The day before I read a review that wasn’t very positive – which to me sounded good, because usually I have the opposite opinion of movies than the experts in the papers have. My own thought about the movie: It wasn’t at all too much of Jack Sparrow.
Sweden didn’t win the Eurovision Song Contest this year either, even though we were in first place for a while during the voting. But Eric Saade ended up in third place (which could have been a second place if Italy hadn’t passed us with the final country voting) – and that is Sweden’s best result since we won in 1999! Really well done, Saade!
(Svenska) 1996 sändes en av tidernas mest omtyckta julkalendrar på tv, en av mina personliga favoriter: Mysteriet på Greveholm. För den som inte vet vad det är, så handlar det om en familj på fem personer som hyr ett slott på landet att fira jul i. Det blir en minst sagt annorlunda decembermånad. Gissa om jag blev glad när jag nu fick höra att det kommer en uppföljare!
Eric Saade has released the dates for his summer tour, “Made Of POP”. I think I could get to Eskilstuna, and maybe even Munkedal. I’ll have to wait and see how the summer turns out to be. Here are all the tour dates:
