Parallels

I am beginning to draw parallels between the behaviour of Trump and Boris Johnson.  Some  of you will say I am a bit slow in coming to this conclusion but politics doesn't move as fast in the UK as it does in the US.  The philosophy of the two leaders is to ignore everything, deny everything, flout the law and, especially in Trump's case, lie about everything.  Dominic Cummings clearly broke the rules of lockdown and Johnson did nothing thus proving to the British public that the laws don't apply to him and his cronies.  So how staggeringly stupid  is he to defend the Housing Minister who has quite rightly been accused of cronyism, and in my book, corruption.  I am not a supporter of any party but I do want to know that our country is being run by honest people.

Having said all that, it doesn't matter what I think because as far as the voting system is concerned, I have been disenfranchised.  Under the fifteen year rule (you lose your vote once you have lived outside the country for 15 years) I can no longer vote in the UK.  Unlike thousands of others, I don't actually have a problem with that.  However it is a problem because the country I do live in doesn't let me have a vote either and since Brexit even local elections are  forbidden territory.   Therefore I live in a democracy but I have no rights to express my wishes anywhere.   And  that is the problem.

Having rejected the invasion of ants via my front door, I discover that they are thronging through the window of my upstairs bathroom.  Why?  What is in my bathroom that would induce them  to climb all the way up to the first floor when the back door is wide open?

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...

Equality

 I don't want to hear another person  say that women should be equal to men.  There is no 'should' about it, women ARE equal to men but they are not treated equally.  It has never occurred to me that I am  not equal to any man.  Am I treated equally?  Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  It requires a step change in the way women think of themselves as being equal before we can hope for attitudes, legislation, economics to  follow and that is my rant for the day. Ever since I have lived in France I have noticed a stark difference between the French and the British sense of humour.  The dry, irreverent humour of the British is completely wasted on the French, and the Dutch and the Americans sometimes for that matter.  Clearly the British humour is unique.  Yesterday I gave an article to a French friend to read.  It was a humorous piece, self deprecating about a woman suffering an attack by an insect on her face with hideous result...
