There's none so strange as folks

Before Christmas I made mincepies for all the tennis people, putting 6 mincepies each into several plastic containers.  Some players, mainly the men, ate them all straight away, they are very popular.  Others ate a couple and took the rest back to share with their families.  Today I was given four empty plastic containers back by the players and not one had been washed.  Nearly three weeks have gone by and they haven't managed to wash them out, or maybe they don't recognise common courtesy when it stares them in the face.

My neighbour keeps chickens and so I buy my eggs from him, usually 6 at a time but whenever he sees my youngest son around (he is 2 metres tall) he increases the amount.  On Saturday, the day before my son was leaving he gave me 24 eggs.  Now I have to eat them myself.  Egg bound comes to mind.

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.
