Is it the weather?

I was thinking of a good theme for a post but its forgotten by the real theme of the last 24 hours, the rudeness and anger of people. I took the dog for a walk and a man in his garden looked at her I was about to say a pleasant hello when he said is it pooing I didn't answer, she was doing her endless little pees,you don't give a shit he says. I just walked away as he came over to check it out.
Yesterday we went to a short early dinner with friends when my husband starts knocking my knee to leave. I don't feel so much the rudeness towards my friend seeing she ended one dinner we were having by tapping on her watch to her husband. But the rudeness to me. I was trying yet again to get my friend to see the situation with her in laws in a reasonable light and failing dismally. One mans reasonable is another's insanity.
In the morning at tennis one of the women started going at the woman doing the draw for not mixing players up enough, she was trying to explain it was because some of us had arrived late and we only had one court that day. She went on and on till the women said well you do it then, no says the complainer I do enough. Then she tells me I should arrive earlier, I said well I don't we stay up late. (I'm over the virtue of early rising, I've done all shifts, there's none better than another). And I should have said if that's a problem maybe I won't come at all.
Is it the weather? Which is quite lovely warm days cool nights.
I would like to live in France are they nicer there? I'm going to google the politest country in the world. I doubt its Australia. On a nicer note I'm going to make pork hock and lentil soup for dinner and not think about people for the rest of the day. I am reading a book by Robert Graves called the isles of unwisdom about the attempted settlement of the Solomon Islands in the 1590's by the Spanish those people could really do petty tyranny. I think it's probably out of print we found it on the net ex-welsh library copy. Amazing it is a great book.
