keeping cool

I am looking after my 2 year old grandson this month so no time to reflect, or write much.  The weather in the UK is unusually dry and hot but I don't mind that, although running after a 2 year old and pushing him uphill is challenging.  I sleep in the attic, which has 2 windows, one on each side and keeps up a nice temperature during the night.  It isn't the heat that keeps me awake it is a pesky pigeon.  It sits outside my window and repeats over and over and over again that same boring 3 note sound that all pigeons make.  What is it doing there in the middle of the night?  Don't birds sleep?  If I was a kid I would probably get the old fashioned catapult out and if I was Donald   Trump I would grab my shotgun, or order one of my lackeys to shoot  it.  What do I do?  I ineffectively go shoo, shoo, and then when it inevitably returns to my window I end up talking to it.

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.
