Finally summer arrived!

But what kind of summer will this be? Living on the coast, I am sure that I will be globally involved in many global issues during the next months.

Consequences of spilling oil...

For instance, the BP oil spill that gets so much attention now adays. Scientists claim that much of this oil will be spread around the world with the Gulf Stream, and the Norwegian coastline population has been warned of oil in the water this summer. Well, the consequences have to be accepted and the guilt has to be dealt with later! What happens now is that there is a far too big focus on who’s blame the oils pill is. We forget that the most important thing is to stop the leak as quickly as possible. We should all consider our priorities…

Unease in the world

There are also numerous conflicts going on in the world. Kirgistan, Palestine and Gaza and Israel – these are just minor examples of what our world faces today. Riots and rebellions. Slowly, we all get immune for all these conflicts as we get more and more used to hear about them. I must admit that I do not know much from these areas, but I like to keep watch. This summer will be an uneasy one…

Norwegian Grand Prix 2008

However, I do not think that this summer will only bring unhappy and gloomy events. I am very much looking forward to things as well, such as Skjærgårds 2010 – a music festival taking place at Risøya – and Norwegian Grand Prix 2010 in Arendal July 16-18. The latter is the ultimate powerboat race, and Arendal is considered as being the boatsport’s Monte Carlo, because of its challenging track. If you want more info about this event you can go to NGP‘s websites.

I am quite busy this summer, as you can see. But I am looking forward to it. Working, festivals, arrangements and other. What my summer will be like depends on my attitude.

Think that you have fun, and you will have fun. That’s the trick.
