Historic. Interesting. Something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.
Alex Salmond to become First Minister. As expected, 49 votes to 46 votes.
Ms Goldie has developed a wry and effective humour in her speeches. Nicol Stephen was as prosaic as ever. Jack McConnell was somewhat graceless - no surprise there. But Mr Salmond was humble, self-deprecating and witty. It will be interesting if he maintains it.
And, finally, yes I got it wrong - I didn't think that they would nominate a First Minister within 28 days. I'm glad they did.
So now - on to the selection of the cabinet.
