Finland 2007, ? 2008, Iceland 2009

As most of you will know by now, Suomen Dekkariseura will be hosting the AGM and the awarding of the Glass key next year. What not so many of you knew, until now, is that we are ready to host these events in the spring of 2009! Yes, I know, it's still a long way away, but anyway...
I reckon it's okay to go public with this information, even if it's not officially official as yet, but our boss, Kristinn, committed the Icelandic crime society to host AIEP's AGM in 2009, so we'll do a double since we're at it... Start saving up for the trip now, it'll be worth it - even if it keeps raining.

But: Do we have a candidate for 2008? Norway? Sweden? Anyone? Somebody mentioned Barbados, but I'm not sure they're up to it.

Cheers,
Ævar Örn.

The worst summer

This is a warning - if anyone of you out there were planning to visit the south, west or, particularly the southwest corner of Iceland this summer: Forget it!
The weather in the northeast has been o.k. but over here - where people actually live - this has been the rainiest, coldest, most miserable of icelandic summers as far back as I can remember - and believe me, I remember a lot of cold, wet and miserable summers and this one tops them all.
Guess I'll just have to stay indoors and write. A crime novel, maybe. Or something.

Cheers,
Ævar Örn.
