Alone again

My family left yesterday and the house is quiet, too quiet.  The tell tale signs of living alone pervade the house. 

I put something down and an hour later it is still there. 
The kitchen is always clean.
I talk to myself - and to the radio, and the television.  In fact I argue with them, which is fairly satisfying as they don't disagree.
I don't close the bathroom door and I can go there in the night in the nude.
The days have twice as many hours in them.
I don't have an excuse not to do all that laundry and wash the floors.

I have good memories of their visit and hopefully my daughter in law will send me some photos as once again I forgot to take any.

French railway workers are striking 2 days in 5 for the next few months in protest against Macron's reforms.  To launch these strikes huge protests were organised in Paris but oh dear the strikers couldn't get there because the trains weren't running due to strike action.

stormy weather

Last evening there was a huge storm, lightning,  wind and torrential rain in Agra. This morning the devastation was clear. No power, 50 dead and hundreds of trees down. On the way to the taj mahal  I could see crushed cars, flooded streets  and so many trees.   Then out of all this destruction I arrived at the taj mahal. It doesn't matter how many pictures you see  they cannot compare to seeing this exquisite building rising up above you.  I have waited so long to see it and  it  is far better than I could have imagined.
