Sexist AND Ageist?

While waiting for our tennis match one of the men challenged us all to a skipping competition.  I haven't skipped since I was at school but I found that it was easy and really enjoyable.  A few days later I went to Decathlon and asked a young man if he had any skipping ropes.  'How old is she?' he asked.  'HE is 85' I replied, and left him with his mouth open.

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.
