VA Wimbledon Day Four

Ugh, another tough day due to having to work. I'm sorry to report that I didn't have tooo many British things today. Just a delicious "English Fog*":

And then a repeat of last night's "fish and chips". Very good!

Tennis-wise, I missed most of it. I listened to it this morning while doing paperwork, but then could only check scores here and there. I saw, on replay, some of the McHale/Lisicki match as well as the Kulichkov/Keys one. And can you believe Nadal lost!? Craziness.

Only one more day of work until vacation!

Cheers!




*London Fog, but with English Breakfast

VA WImbledon Day Three

Day three has been really good...and I suspect it's because I didn't work. It makes all the difference!

I got to watch tennis ALL DAY, which was so amazing and a good preview of my vacation next week.

Breakfast was tea and scones, of course, which I didn't document with photos since I've already taken care of that.

Lunch was fun because I had picked up a can of potatoe and leek soup from Wegman's the other day. The can says "Made in England"-legit!

In the early afternoon I took care of my postings and then headed to a nearby village to hit the bank and hopefully an ABC store. I definitely had luck:

I had to laugh at myself when I deposited some checks and asked how many dollar coins the teller had. $15 worth! When I was in Scotland, I really loved the pound coins. I can't explain why, but it just seemed so natural to have that denomination in coin form.

After getting home and completing my tennis watching for the day, I put on some Bridget Jones and eventually got around to make my dinner of fish and chips...well, my version of it anyways:

Only two more work days until holiday!
