Jumping hurdles

 Yesterday I went to the hospital (again) to see the radiotherapist and hopefully get dates of my treatment but that was not to be.  They need my records from when I had radiotherapy 19 years ago in the UK!  They have left me to try to find out how they can do it.   'Just get an email address and we can put in an official request,' she said.  E mail addresses from the NHS?  You must be kidding.  The first task is to get them to answer the phone.

Someone must have read my plea to remove the mask wearing outside because they have, at last.  Some people have taken it a step further.  On the tram yesterday I spotted 9 people not wearing a mask at all, numerous people with it down below their chin and most of the others with it under their nose.  I felt like ripping  mine off too, they are hot and uncomfortable, but I am British, I obey the law.

My son was supposed to come in July but EasyJet have cancelled all their flights.  It is plain cruel.  June is the month for invasions - thunder flies, ants, beetles and some strange creature that looks a bit like a centipede but isn't.  I managed to catch one the other day,  which is not easy as they move like lightning.  I put the glass over it, slid the cardboard underneath, placed it flat on the freezer and watched it whizzing round and round inside the glass.  My grandson likes photos of insects so I went to get my phone to take a photo before I released it outside.   When I came back it had gone!  There were no gaps between the glass and the cardboard so I am completely nonplussed.

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.
