Madness

Can Trump become even more unhinged than he has been?  If he got his way over changing Article 14 of the Constitution my son will lose his American citizenship.  He is now sending 15000 soldiers to the southern border and if the immigrants throw a stone at them Trump expects the army to shoot them.

Meanwhile the Crown Prince, who Trump believes is telling the truth when he says he knew nothing about the death of Kashoggi,  has told him that Kashoggi was a dangerous Islamist terrorist.  No doubt Trump will believe that too.

I decided to go to a ladies lunch that was advertised in English.  It was in a village south of where I live, an area I know nothing about.  There were 30 British women, not one of them spoke any French and they all live either in the same village or in villages close by.  In this environment they have a great social life, mostly to do with alcohol as far as I could gather and are totally ignorant about French life, mixing only with each other.  None of them had applied for a Resident's Permit because they have convinced themselves that they won't need one and anyway they don't understand what papers are needed because they can't read French.  They said that the French nothing will change after Brexit because the French love having the British here.  Really?

I have been doing some research on couples who are going back to the UK or are thinking about it.  Of the 12 couples I have asked, all the wives want to return to the UK and only one of the men wishes to.  What does that tell us?

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.
