Ignorance is not bliss

This weekend has brought out the worst in people.  Large groups gathering together with no attempt at following the rules or guidelines.  They are selfish and ignorant.  Even my sister, although being ultra careful herself, thinks that in a few weeks the virus will just disappear.  Young people believe they are invincible, that's nothing new, but now their ignorance is endangering the lives of others.  They probably think it doesn't matter because it is only old people who will die but the young die too and the virus can leave lasting damage to the body.

Considering I live in a hamlet with only 5 houses, it is full of drama at times.  A lady came to my door this afternoon saying she was the mother of my neighbour.  Had I seen her and did I have her telephone number?  I thought that was a bit odd and wondered if I had misunderstood.  I said I hadn't seen her but the shutters go up and down so I assume she is alright.  Marie Jo, from the house opposite came across, being nosy of course.  She had the telephone number and so went to fetch it.  I walked to the neighbour's gate with the mother and was waiting for Marie Jo to return when the door flew open and a young woman in a dressing gown appeared, waving her arms and shouting.  'Why do you keep bothering my neighbours?' she screamed.  ' Friday, I told you to come on Friday.'  I beat a hasty retreat.  That would explain why the mother doesn't have her telephone number.

Boris Johnson thinks that by behaving like Trump he can get away with anything but I suspect the British people are not as tolerant, nor as gullible as Trump's followers.  The only person publicly agreeing with Johnson's decision not to fire Dominic Cummings is  Michael Gove and we all know what a turncoat he is.  He won't get away with it; Cummings will have to go and let's face it he could do with the time to shave and buy some clothes.

Temper, Temper

I played tennis with Yvette today.  Yesterday I asked if we could play early before the day gets too hot.  She suggested 9.30am.  I was thinking of 8.00am but Yvette has been married 46 years and her husband still brings her breakfast in bed every morning so 9.30 is probably the crack of dawn. I thought I had got used to Yvette's little antics but this morning she behaved like John McEnroe.  I was 4-1 up in the first set when suddenly she announced that the score was 4-3.  I am used to these little tricks so I stood my ground.  She argued, she shouted.  I ignored her and took my position ready to receive serve but her shouting got louder, calling me a cheat and then using some choice words.  Her ploy worked.  I lost concentration and started to lose, eventually losing in a tie break.  I was not happy but said nothing. At the end of the set Yvette asked me if I was angry with her, using the expression 'tu me fais la tete?'  I sa...

What is normal?

The UK seems to be operating on the basis that there is no virus.  Masks are rarely seen, little is being reported in the papers,  it is not the main topic of conversation in the street and social distancing doesn't exist.  I did see a testing table set up in Chesham high street but it was for one day only and they didn't seem to be doing much business. I went to Brighton on Sunday with my son and sister.  The old 'Lanes' have been reduced to a few jewellery shops and lots of cafes and the town was packed.  Openly gay people walk hand in hand through the streets in great numbers while others stroll around in gold lurex dresses. As we were heading back to the station the police arrived and blocked the road for an approaching cycle rally.   Living in France I have seen many cycle races go past but not quite like this one.  Here were 200 totally naked cyclists pedalling by while people cheered them on enthusiastically.  Some of them had put on s...

The problem with language teaching

I volunteered in a French school yesterday.  The aim of the day was to engage French children in English conversation.  The children had questions written down which they had to ask in English.  They were aged between 12 and 16.  Faced with 2 pupils aged 15 I answered the first question clearly and simply but they didn't understand the answer.  A rapid conversation in French passed between them and they then asked me in French if I would write down the answer. 'If I write down the answer you won't learn anything,' I said in French.  They asked the teacher what to do. 'Of course you can write down the answers for them and they can study them  later'! Listening skills?  Speaking skills?  I give up
