Nobody saw that coming, did they?

Lots of colour co-ordination of masks going on at the inauguration :wink:

Aren’t people wearing purple to show that red and blue can mix? I’m sure I have heard the colour mentioned for at least three of the dresses being worn by important women at the event, and some of the ties.

Probably. Not an idea that stands much scrutiny, imo. But I thought Carinthia would appreciate the masks…

Well, the FLOTUS has one to match her dress or coat, whichever it is, only with added butterflies to go with a big bow tie at the waist. I haven’t seen the rest.

Not many with nose wires though. There was a lot of hitching up going on.

Colour coordinated is the way to go, IMO… :wink:

Well, I would say that, wouldn’t I?

I notice that The Orange Idiot & Fambly/Outlaws didn’t bother wearing them…

Amen to this, Fishers. Beyond the pale doesn’t come close. I have had a 'phone call with a Good Friend who listened to the Inaugeration just to make sure nobody got shot and I have to admit that I placed Mr Bee on sentry duty so I shouldn’t have to hear it.

I think that letting it be Fauci who told the WHO they were back was a kind gesture; Fauci must have suffered all last year.

Apropos of the wee dears* being educated at home and how horribly affected their mental health is by the home schooling - am I the only one who thinks that them as can’t deal with their young should not breed?

They bred on the understanding that schools were available, so they didn’t have to be full-time child-carers. (That they are expected to be that and full-time workers is clearly daft.)

They also assume that every child is going to be a brilliant physicist or doctor of medicine

Never going to happen and the world needs mechanics plumbers electricians cleaners health carers and sundry other jobs for day to day running of the planet

I look at our neighbours who are only delighted to have their childer at home and teach them with zoom classes and hands on learning - farming cooking sewing knitting and so on

The world needs more practical folk
