Everybody's at it

Trump lies every day and his supporters shrug their shoulders and dismiss it as not being important.  No-one challenges him, least of all the Republicans, who are pushed to exasperation, but they don't push back.  Americans live in a bubble and most of them have no idea how he is viewed on the world stage and they don't care.

Having said that even Trump has not killed someone in the White House and dismembered him.  How stupid and naive do the Saudis think we are?

There are no rogue people in a Consulate.  They are security cleared, including the locally employed staff.

Everyone of the security cameras was out of order.  Oh really?

15 men who must have had previous security clearance, flew directly from Saudi to Istanbul and  arrived at the consulate in a black van, leaving several hours later flying straight back to Saudi.

The Consul General and everyone else in the Consulate had knowledge and were witnesses of what happened to Jamal Koshoggi.

So all the walls suddenly needed painting.  Planned re-decoration was it?

Trump puts money before everything else but surely this time the Republicans will stand up and say enough is enough.  Trump wants to be a dictator like Putin, Kim Jung un and the Saudi royal family but he is their lap dog, their sycophant.  He may not have done away with anyone in the Oval office but his behaviour has given these monsters the green light to do whatever they want because they know they can get away with it.

It is 3 weeks since I had a car.  My body is keeping fit with the walking and cycling but I think my brain is atrophying.

I'm Free

 After being incarcerated in my son's house waiting for the results of the day 2 test I was finally allowed out today.  I went to Chichester and was saddened by the number of familiar shops that have disappeared from the town centre.  Bognor is the same.  You wouldn't die of thirst in either town though as the number of cafes has increased.  Both town centres were busy making it difficult to keep a safe distance from others but many people were wearing masks in the street. I was pulled over by Customs in Caen.  As I opened the trunk of the car one of the officers asked me if I was carrying goods.  'Yes,' I replied, ' French Champagne and French wine'  They nodded approvingly and waved me away. During my 3 days in the house, I have cleaned, filed all their paperwork, mended the shower, cooked dinner and tried watching television, the latter being totally uninspiring.  The news consists of covid, travel restrictions, forbidden Christmas parties...

D day lasts 3 days

 This morning, with my head full of things I still have to do, I got on the tram and forgot to scan my ticket.  The inspector got on 2 stops later and said I had to pay 45€ for this lapse.  Why can't I scan it now?  a reasonable question in my opinion, was met with scorn, so I  paid up.  On the tram back from the hospital there she was again and checked my ticket with glee.  While she was doing that a young man got on, sat down  and did not show any sign of even having a ticket, let alone scanning one.   The inspector passed him by without a second glance.   Today is the last day for packing and organising.  Tomorrow the removal company will arrive at 6am to take it all away and put it in storage.  Tomorrow night I will sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor and Thursday I go to the hospital to be nuked for the last time.  The sleeping bag is the one that saved me from hypothermia when a friend and I were lost for ...
