Anomalies

I haven't played golf for about 7 years so it was with some trepidation and anticipation of humiliation that I set off from the first tee.  Amazingly, the ball didn't go in the rough, the trees, a bunker or out of bounds, it went straight down the fairway.  I did a few duff shots later but I didn't lose any balls, or go in any water and only one bunker so, having assumed I would be a disaster it didn't turn out too badly, which goes to show that all these people playing earnestly two or three times a week hoping to reduce their handicap, are wasting their time.  All you  have to do is play once every 7 years.

The chimney sweep came this morning, not wearing a mask, which is the regulation for any worker entering a client's house.  However, bizarrely La Rochelle is making everyone wear a mask when they are outside. 

Americans love conspiracy theories and these are some I have heard recently.  Wearing masks is a plot to convert us all to Islam.  When the vaccine is finally produced only Republican, white males will receive it thus getting rid of most of Trump's perceived enemies, or they will produce two vaccines, one for white people and an ineffective one for black people.  The best one is the Lord of the Flies scenario where children have immunity and take over the world.  That would probably be more fun than it is now.

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.
