🎞 Watched: True Detective – The Long Bright Dark

Linn and I have been wanting to find a new show that we can both get into and this one seems very promising.

Great acting by McConaughey and Harrelson and nice chemistry between them. Also very nice work by the make-up department.

📖 Read ”Kvinnan på tåget” by Paula Hawkins

Judging by the reviews on GoodReads, this is a really divisive book. Either people love it or they hate it. To me it was quite middle of the road. I watched the movie a few years ago and liked it and the book was okay.

I mainly have two problems with it.

  1. The characters are unlikeable. All of them. The closest I cqme to caring about either of them is that I pity Rachel.

  2. It’s too long. If it was shortened by about 20% all the necessary points in it could still be hit, but it would be a quicker read.

And lastly, I don’t get why this gets compared to Gone Girl.

The second summer project, privacy screens for the deck, is halfway done. Working on a second one for the other side of the deck as well.

🎞 Watched: Lyckligare kan ingen vara (2018)

I watched this one yesterday with Linn. Seems like it was quite some time ago that we actually managed to get the kids to bed on time and watch something together. So the experience of watching the movie was great. The movie as a movie, was not.

Want to watch a Swedish movie about a well-known Swedish person to celebrate National Day? 🇸🇪

I highly recommend Borg or Borg vs McEnroe as it apparently is known internationally, about tennis player Björn Borg.

Hans Rosling, internationally famous Swede. 🇸🇪

Why so happy about Sweden 🇸🇪, all of a sudden?

Mostly I think it’s superficial things that make me appreciate it right now, and thereby also think about the truly great things as well.

Superficial things like that summer is here. That it’s 30 deg C. That I led my final seminar for the school year yesterday. That my kids are happy and playing in the kiddy pool. That it is my beautiful house, and my beautiful wife. (Well technically my fiancé.)

I’m feeling unusually patriotic today, so there will be a couple of posts celebrating Sweden coming up. 🇸🇪
