We arrived in Glasgow tired but happy to see our friend Mairi. She met us at the airport and guided us through a cloudy day in Irvine that began with porridge and ended with a dram. Robbie Burns, who used to stay just up the street, couldn't have been a better host.
Porridge
Why is there no monument
To Porridge in our land?
It's good enough to eat,
It's good enough to stand!
On a plinth in London
A statue we should see
Of Porridge made in Scotland
Signed, "Oatmeal, O.B.E."
(Spike Milligan—1918-2002)
