I had an early start this morning; I was expected at the hospital for a scan and they needed me there a couple of hours early to take some sort of preparation for 'contrast'. Parking at the hospital is impossible but, luckily, Jamie was able to drop me off and come back for me later. It's not something I look forward to but the staff at the hospital are always cheerful and efficient and things could be a lot worse.
It meant, of course, that I couldn't watch Mr Trump's inauguration. I scratch my head and wonder what brought that particular corner of civilisation to choose Donald Trump to be their leader ... again.. I often read through the Quora website and am regularly amazed at the narrow focus many USians have on their understanding of the world. I know their education system is sadly lacking, especially in the more rural states, but surely anyone of normal intelligence could see the flaws in the country they call the greatest.
It makes me glad that I live in this boring corner of the world - Australia.
