You have seen the trailer. You have read the news. You have seen the pictures of the young wizards. Now it is the time to watch the movie: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. We are familiar with the story, but the movie is still amazing. It is harder to face girls who travel in packs than fighting fire-breathing dragons.
The movie theatre is packed with children and parents. It is really crowded. I come out of the theatre feeling unwell and rigid.
I have spent most of the weekend reading The Lord of Silent by Elizabeth Peters. Why does Egyptology facinates people? Is it because of the treasure and the gold promises buried in the sand? Is it because that the stories on the wall in the tombs are interesting? Is it because of the mummies? Maybe it is about all of the above, and so much more. It is also about the people who are excavating and stealing the treasures.
The weather improves on Sunday so we set out tramping on the Riverside walkway. We identify some of the trees beside the river. Letting the bikeriders pass safely is not easy. It is a great exercise for the body and the scenary is great. We have seen three groups of people on boats, and several koi carp fish in the river. Dad has never been able to catch them, though.
