The weekend again

Great sunshine with no wind although cold. Is spring around the corner ?
We went to see the new kids film “Bridge to Tarabithia”. A very beautiful story and great to see the hero of the film as a drawing guy!

I also have to recomend another film “Death in Gaza” a harrowing documentary about kids growing up in Gaza. The conflict is engraved on their faces and they are sucked slowly and surely into the mad logic of the struggle.

Meanwhile here in Iceland, we are able to go for an innocent walk on the bitter mountain. Out of the wind, in the secret wooded spots the pale sunshine warms the brittle grass. This is a good place to pause and warm up with hot chocolate. Games to play in this weather are to watch the mesmerizing patterns of the water flowing under the inch thick layer of ice. Even more fun is to smash the ice with rocks. Today on the bitter mountain, the ice smashed the rock.
