Good and Bad

Yesterday I went out with the walking group.  The good things were beautiful weather, warm and sunny and the route, which took us through the woods with the birds singing merrily.  The bad thing was that we then went to a restaurant and ate an enormous lunch, undoing all our good intentions of getting exercise.  The good thing was that the company was interesting and friendly.

When I got home I turned on CNN  because the Mueller report was out.  The bad thing was that there was nothing definitive that would immediately oust the worst President in US history.  The good thing was that he wasn't let off the hook and he did not come out smelling of roses.  Not that that will make any difference to his followers, nor it seems to the Republican party who know they have the most stupid, dangerous leader ever but are so keen to cling to their jobs they follow  him blindly.

An immediate poll had the majority of voters wanting to move on rather than pursue the obvious obstruction of justice.  I give up.

Meanwhile back in Europe, everyone is still in limbo waiting for some progress to be made with brexit but unfortunately the politicians in the UK have all gone on holiday.  Is this why Theresa May asked for an extension?

I was pulled over by Customs in Caen.  As I opened the trunk of the car one of the officers asked me if I was carrying goods.  'Yes,' I replied, ' French Champagne and French wine'  They nodded approvingly and waved me away. During my 3 days in the house, I have cleaned, filed all their paperwork, mended the shower, cooked dinner and tried watching television, the latter being totally uninspiring.  The news consists of covid, travel restrictions, forbidden Christmas parties...

D day lasts 3 days

 This morning, with my head full of things I still have to do, I got on the tram and forgot to scan my ticket.  The inspector got on 2 stops later and said I had to pay 45€ for this lapse.  Why can't I scan it now?  a reasonable question in my opinion, was met with scorn, so I  paid up.  On the tram back from the hospital there she was again and checked my ticket with glee.  While she was doing that a young man got on, sat down  and did not show any sign of even having a ticket, let alone scanning one.   The inspector passed him by without a second glance.   Today is the last day for packing and organising.  Tomorrow the removal company will arrive at 6am to take it all away and put it in storage.  Tomorrow night I will sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor and Thursday I go to the hospital to be nuked for the last time.  The sleeping bag is the one that saved me from hypothermia when a friend and I were lost for ...
