Getting ready for Breakfast at Wimbledon! Mom made clotted cream for our strawberries. You can't get clotted cream here, but you can make it by scalding whipping cream and separating it and getting all the thick cream at the top. Mom is from the West Country in England and we like to do our cream right. :D
I'm rooting for Novak Djokovic today, although I love Rafa Nadal and will be happy for him if he wins. But I really want Nole to get his first Wimbledon to go along with his shiny new number one ranking (as of tomorrow). Either way, I just hope it's a good match.
Having a lovely long weekend with the folks. We're watching Band of Brothers, since I only ever saw the first part when it came out, and I wanted to see Fassbender and McAvoy. Dad's always up for some WWII, and it's a really terrific mini-series. For the record, McAvoy is only in ep 4, and Fassbender is a very minor character who I'm always straining to spot in the background. (Just in case you wanted to watch only for them.) But it's a great show, and I'm enjoying it very much. Lots of great actors (Michael Cudlitz! Scott Grimes!) and I love Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston. I need some slashfic for Winters/Nix, stat. I mean, seriously, every time they're separated and reunited, Livingston asks, "Going my way?" Why yes, I think he is! At least in my mind. :D
Happy July 4th for tomorrow to all my lovely Americans! xoxo
