visitors

It is that time of year when I have people çome to stay.  On Thursday we went to Puy de Fou, which is a great day out.  For the journey there the gps took us on a mystery tour through small french villages and narrow country lanes. On the way back, and without changing any of the settings, it took the usual more direct route along wide dual carriageways.  This makes me wonder if machines are developing into wilful independent beings because they know they are more intelligent and that we have been lulled into a false sense  of thinking that we are in charge.

The other visitors are the house martins who  sweep in, building nests under the eaves,  and leaving a mess, but clinging on to the walls until their young are ready to fly away.

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.
