I see that Donald Trump is in Scotland, visiting his golf courses and he's unhappy with the 'welcome' he is receiving from the locals. What does he expect? The Scots are the last people in the world who would treat him politely just because he's the US President. You would hope that he would be self-aware enough to realise intelligent people, even from another country, might take exception to his behaviour. But, apparently not. I can't work out whether he understands the reasons he is so universally reviled or genuinely believes he is being unfairly treated. And I still can't believe a country which so often claims the moral high ground in world affairs can elect such an inappropriate leader, nor just once, but twice with the threat of a third term still being bandied about. 'He,. whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.'
Jamie and Nera are still in Hobart this morning and will be driving home later today. They will call in to collect Archie and, no doubt, will have a supply of goodies from Hobart to leave with us.
Otherwise, not much is happening today. I'm close to finishing the Deborah Crombie book I have been reading but I think there are another dozen or so in the series for me to get on with. We're watching a series on TV called the Madame Blanc Mysteries; a bit lightweight but they help to pass the time. In last night's episode a character appeared played by Tony Robinson who I remembered as Baldrick in Blackadder' and was also in a series called, I think 'The Time Team'. He visited Launceston a few years ago and I bumped into him in one of the local parks. One of my very rare brushes with fame.
