Today we went to the Ashmolean. There’s a new Ancient Egypt section that has not been there before. (Amelia is writing this, Dad typing.) There’s a very weird cat mummy and snake mummy. It is kind of queer to have animal mummies. In another section we saw a human mummy. It had three sarcophagus’s. The first one was very boring. The second one was a bit more detailed. And the third one was pretty cool. (sorry ,we didn’t take any photos.)
Elizabeth: It was very fun. I really liked the jewels and the rings.
Dad: Mother dropped us off and went with Faith to a party Eve H. was having at her house in Headington. We took a break in the middle and had some Genoa Cake and cheese potato chips from Sainsbury’s for a snack, eaing them next to St. Michael’s Anglo-Saxon church, the oldest building in Oxford, and then bought light bulbs at Boswell’s. Afterwards, we waited for Mother next to the Randolph Hotel. Ben and Lilli had fun trying to perch on slanting windowsills, and Lizzie and Amelia played a sort of hopscotch. Then we all went to a Burger King in Cowley, far away, but a nice car ride and an easy meal.
