Happy? New Year

Well I am an optimist and always happy regardless of what life throws at me so despite Trump and the pile of laundry facing me now the family have left, I am positive.  I collected all the dirty sheets, pillows, duvet covers (king size) and towels and divided them  into 5 loads.  So far so good.  So why what was I thinking when I grabbed the settee cover that I bought in India and threw it in with the pillow protectors, pillow cases and table cloths?  I now have blue pillow protectors, blue pillow cases and a wonderful swirling blue pattern on the table cloths.

I had coffee with an Italian friend this morning who is looking forward to her first grandchild being born.  I have grandchildren almost in their thirties and little grandchildren past the baby stage.  Catherina is looking for baby stuff, a cot etc.,  (Surely my children have done producing children now), so I offered her all my baby things.  It will be s..'s law that those grandsons in their twenties start producing. 

I am a year older and yesterday I played a three set tennis match and won against someone half my age.  Happy New Year indeed.

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.
