Down but not out

 Running uphill, racing and playing tag at high speed is all part of looking after an exuberant 7year old.  Yesterday I took my grandson to the field to play football, which was competitive with no allowances made for age, on either side.  At one point I went in to tackle the ball but somehow our feet became tangled up and there I was crashing face down in the mud.  With neither of us being able to control our fall, my grandson  landed on top of me.  As he rolled off we looked at each other and burst out laughing.   I was covered in mud from head to foot.  We went on playing for a while before heading for home.  My son opened the door and exclaimed 'what have you two been up to?'  Oh dear, I remember asking him and his brothers the same thing when they were children.

Boris Johnson has recommended his father for a knighthood.  Which planet does he live on and didn't his father move to France to escape Brexit?

Electioneering has already begun for the 2024 Presidential election. What a scary choice for the world, Trump or de Santis, a racist, who doesn't accept that gay people should exist, or that books that he doesn't like should be in schools. Can't wait.

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.
