You should all experience the summer in the north. It's 3.30 AM and it is light outside! The sun is about to come back making it even lighter having not been completely away as to allow the darkness to set...

It sure is something one could assign to Shire!

It does that where I live to, The Land of the Midnight sun... In the middle of the summer at midnight it is light outside! It's nice to live so far north!

Well, it's not QUITE that far north in Edmonton... but Dad wants to return to Canada's north country some day, so I might get to go up there and experience it with him, if he wants company.

Though it does get light early enough that I had light in the sky for every hour of my drive down to Brinniel's, despite the very early hour (5:00 am, just north of Calgary) of departure.

On the subject of meeting Downers, though, if experiencing it in Finland is a prerequisite to a full life, I'll be glad to tag along on some future summer.

I assign...

...laughing at a Chinese actor who looks like David Bowie, shocking your friends, staying up all night long talking, almost falling asleep on soft grass, walking a couple of kilometers barefoot (and wading through all the dirty puddles) and various tricks to stay awake (energy drink, coffee, swimming in the sea - which is absolutely best of those, btw).

I assign– getting my mid-year results back and finding I did pretty well... which I more-or-less expected, and yet I'd been nervous because some of the exam questions were just weird.
