Happy Christmas World

So it is Christmas day and for the first time in my life I am completely alone, like millions of others I daresay, as this is an extraordinary year.  At least I have family, even though they cannot be physically here, and we will zoom and skype etc but there are many others who have no-one at all and under those circumstances why don't they put something interesting on the television?  Something funny we can laugh at, not sentimental Christmas films that either make you cry or turn the damn thing off.  Monsieur Toutee has the right idea, he is out there fixing his tractor.  If I had a tractor I would be too, although it is icy cold outside. 

I had my second cataract operation this week.  Has anyone tried to put cream in the eye without sticking it on your eyelashes?  And as for the eye bath I have become adept at washing eyes, nose, ears not to mention the amount that runs down the neck.  I assume they give you more of these things than you need to compensate for incompetents like me.

Boxing day brings new restrictions for all of us, whatever country we live in, except my grandson who lives in Australia, a part that seems to have escaped the virus mostly.  Do we all have to go out on our balconies and cheer Johnson for managing to isolate the UK completely or for saving us from the clutches of Europe?  And to all you cowardly Republicans over the pond, there is the 25th amendment.  For the sake of humanity - use it.  I can't wait for 2021 when I can read more books, walk a kilometre, as long as I have a mask and a permission slip and talk to myself.  The icing on the cake?  I turn another year older.  Merry Christmas everyone.

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.
