Last evening I played a tennis match against an 18 year old. I suppose it was a miracle that I won the first set as I am three times her age.
When I was little my father used to wake me up about 4am to make tea for all my siblings and to clear out the fire. Yes a true Cinderella. Other tasks fell my way too so when I was an adult I asked my father why it was always me. I was after all the fifth child of six, lost in the shuffle of a large family. His reply was simple, ' You were the most willing.'
I have been selected to play in the tennis club team, which plays against the other clubs in the department. Why would they choose me when there are plenty of young fit women in the club and the matches take place on Sundays so they don't interfere with work, college etc.? I was given the answer, 'You are the most willing.'
Can world politics get any worse? Or can Trump get any worse? Can Brexit ever be worked out? Will Putin ever be held to account for murdering people left right and centre and will the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia be held to account for murdering Kashoggi? Which will win, economic factors or moral standards?
