Crazy oldies

Am I mad to play singles tennis in a temperature of 35 degrees?  It was hot this morning and most people my age don't even play tennis let alone in the heat.  I remember when we were living in Khartoum in the Sudan, I used to play squash.  A friend, Valerie and I, used to play at 4.00am when the temperature was in the 30s.  Ok I too was in my thirties then but if you can do it then keep going.

After all it is a privilege to reach old age not a right.

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.
