That summer temperature sounds quite like Finland. And now to the topic.

-----thinking of something meaningful to write--------------------------------------------------

When rereading the Hobbit, the end of this chapter always makes me a bit sad. There's no Gandalf anymore to help them. I think he (Gandalf) has a bad way of doing that. Leaving when he's needed. Of course you can argue that his leaving is essential for the other characters to grow up, but if we don't think of character development or anything like that outside the world of the books, he really has a bad habit on that. But on the other hand, he's always needed. So maybe I'm just babbling nonsense.
