I despair of the American political system. President Trump has had proven financial dealings with the mafia both Italian and Russian, he lies many times every single day. He is unfaithful and has no respect for women. He is surrounded by sycophants and he is being played by the leaders of the Republican party, the Saudis, the Russians and the gun lobby but he gets to choose whether he is interviewed by Mueller and even gets to choose the written questions he is asked. It is obvious to an idiot that his lawyers will just make up answers on his behalf. So now do the parents tell their children that if you get to be President you can lie about anything you like, hide your tax returns, alienate your allies etc etc and nobody will do anything about it? That is my rant for the day.
Talking about Americans, I met one in the market on Friday. I haven't seen him for about 8 years but he remembered me, my name (first and second), where I lived, how many children I had, that I played tennis and golf and goodness knows what else. It put me to shame, I struggled to recall that his first name was Bob and I only managed that when he told me.
I am in week 3 of having no car and the positive is that the weather has been wonderful, blue skies, temperatures in the middle twenties and dry.
A friend picked me up for tennis on Thursday evening. When we had finished playing someone said 'let's play follow the cow'. I looked puzzled to say the least and whatever way I tried to translate it, it came out the same, follow the cow. They patiently explained it to me and it was fun and very fast, which confused me more. I mean why not a greyhound or a cheetah? But a cow? Then one of the players asked me what was the equivalent expression in English. Mm I shall have to think about that one.
