Inauguration Day Menu


I ran out of steam last night, blogging wise, but dinner had a distinctly American theme - Chilli Con Carne, Cajun Potato Salad and Corn on the Cob followed by Apple Pie and Ice Cream.

Biden Harris Inauguration - January 20th 2021

I plan to watch today's events as they unfold on TV and celebrate the occasion with friends and family on both sides of the Atlantic - via Zoom and WhatsApp.

And just for fun I plan to share some of my favourite Trump posts from the blog going back over the past four years.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
