After 5 weeks my car is finally fixed so tomorrow I make the trek back to Le Havre to pick it up. I could have taken a mechanic's course and fixed it myself in the time it has taken the garage to do it.
Yesterday I played a 40 year vet in a tennis tournament and won. I felt slightly guilty as she had come all the way to my house to pick me up and then having lost had to bring me all the way back.
I have learned a few things during my forced imprisonment. You don't do more housework, you don't spend hours doing anything intelligent, you don't clear out messy drawers and cupboards and in fact the less you do, the less you want to do. I prefer going out in the sunshine or riding my bike to being indoors and as much as I like living in the country, next time I move I am going where there is a bus, and shops, a library, a cinema, the odd museum - oh bliss. Of course I would hate the noise.
Even Trump has had to admit that the Saudis killed Kashoggi, although he hasn't accepted that it was premeditated. The lies he tells are increasing each day as the mid term elections get closer. The jobs at risk (20000) if the US cancelled their arms sale to Saudi have gone up each day until yesterday he claimed it was a million. It is time for the Republicans to stand up to him, and preferably get rid of him, and for the Democrats to be more vocal and visual.
As for Brexit and British politics I despair. Meanwhile Macron has dropped in popularity so much that it is below Hollande's and that is saying something.
The good news is I won 2€ on the lottery.
