Can Trump get any worse?

The States have plumbed the depths of immorality, led by the most immoral man in its history.  His 'America First' policy has meant that his government has hijacked vital medical supplies ordered by and destined for Germany and France, and had them sent to the USA.  Never mind that more Europeans will die as a result as long as the States is ok.

The mind boggles that, also in the States, essential services, which include food shops and pharmacies has now included gun shops.  They have been deemed to be critical to the well being of American citizens.  I am sure the person who receives the next bullet does not feel that his or her well being is a priority.   Meanwhile Dr Fauci, the only sane voice at the White House, has had to have his protection increased because of the number of threats against him.   This is just three examples of the slippery slope that America is on.  I rest my case.  Don't worry though.  Trump has put Jared Kushner, his son in law in charge.

Meanwhile countries are beginning to think about how we recoup normal life and I have to say it does not auger well for the oldies.  First they imprison us before anyone else, to protect us and then when others are allowed out we will continue to be imprisoned to protect us.  Whatsmore, no-one is sure whether the hot weather will help to kill it, whether it will return in the autumn or whether those who have already had the disease can catch it again.  So just to make sure we will remain imprisoned indefinitely - to protect us.

Playing by ear

My father could play the piano.  Not an unusual skill but he was deaf.  He lost his  hearing fighting in the army in India in the 30s so he was an adult when he lost it and therefore remembered tunes, even though he couldn't hear him.  However he didn't have the skill to learn anything new so  either you liked the old music or you didn't.  He used to say that he played by ear and then would roar with laughter.  He would have struggled in many ways with modern living but most of all during the pandemic, he would have lost his ability to communicate as he always lip read.  There must be thousands of people like him today who still rely on reading lips to understand,  in fact all of us do it to some extent, so please be patient if someone is struggling to communicate while you are wearing a mask. I went to the supermarket today and at the check out, the cashier asked me to move the trolley into a particular position.  As I manoeuvred it ...

Mondays

 Last Monday my son and daughter in law were due to catch the 8.15am ferry from Portsmouth to Caen.  It was 6.45am when I stepped out of the shower and heard my phone  going.  I snatched it up.  It was a video  call.  'Mum, we have big problems here,'  and before I could speak he thrust the phone into the hands of a Brittany ferries' staff member and said, 'Talk  to my mum.'  Barely conscious of my wet, tangled hair and trying to cover myself up with a  towel which thought gravity was fun, I asked what the problem was.  Apparently they had the wrong vaccination certificates and were being refused passage.  I asked what I could do and she said they could go and get a test and take a later ferry.  'Where is the nearest test centre in Portsmouth?'  I asked.  'There isn't one,' she replied, 'there  is one in Southampton, or Havant.'  What!  No test centre in Portsmouth?  They both have learni...

Oops!

 The air conditioning has broken in my car so it was some relief when the temperature dropped  back to the 30 degree mark.  This gave my neighbours fresh enthusiasm to clear up overgrown vegetation.  At my request my American neighbour climbed down to a flat bit of ground where a tree had grown about 6 feet in as many weeks, to lop it.  My job was to clear all the debris when it fell and drag it to a parking space in the courtyard.  The system was working well with another neighbour and her granddaughter joining in to help me clear the debris.  Meanwhile. up above us the American was in full swing, not stopping at 'lopping' the tree but cutting it right back to its roots.  Soon great big branches were hurtling down and that is when it happened.  One branch, instead of coming straight down to the ground decided to take a detour onto his garage roof, creating a big hole right above where his precious car, a Tesla, was being kept safe and sound....
