VA Wimbledon Day Seven and Eight

Second Monday is known in the tennis world as its greatest day. Every single man and every single woman plays on this day and it is overwhelmingly epic! It's almost too much in a way because unless you watch matches after the fact via DVR, you are going to miss something awesome. Today I focused on seeing the following players as much as possible:

Murray
Azarenka
Wozniacki
Sharapova
Keys
Simon

Now, because of the scheduling, I saw minimal of most of those players except for Murray. I watched his entire match, of course. So, while waiting for Murray to come on the court, I watched most of the Gasquet/Kyrgios match and then almost all of the Djokovic/Anderson match.

It was a good day, though, because Murray won. YAY!

British food-wise, I did well again. I had a lot of tea, of course.

...but was especially excited for my first day of strawberries and cream, which was so good I was tempted to dive into my bowl.

Lunch was some banger rolls and croquettes:

Day Seven was the traditional Middle Sunday of Wimbledon when there is absolutely no play. It kind of sucks, but I used my day to go see Jurassic World and to hit up Total Wine for British brews and then spent a fortune at Wegmans in their international aisle. And for dinner I made a very basic beef shepherd's pie and had a Newcastle afterwards. Yum!
