Luckily, I have amazing flatmates to get me through these long, hard Springtime days (oh, so difficult to sit on the grass and enjoy the flowers!). For example, the other day was the birthday of a fine gentleman - we call him Australian Dave. Aussie Dave loves the Lewis Carrol classic of Alice in Wonderland. Thus, his birthday party was an Alice in Wonderland theme party, and everyone came:
(Back row: Tweedle Dee, Playing Cards with the Queen of Hearts, the Caterpillar, Dave as the Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dum, the White Rabbit, a Flower.
Front row: Tranny Alice, Knave of Hearts, yours truly as the Dormouse, my boyfriend as the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat, more Flowers.)
We ran around campus dressed up, garnering wolf-whistles in the square and stares from the students sunbathing in England's rare sunshine. It was absolutely epic. We had tea and cake, then the Queen of Hearts, the Knave of Hearts, the March Hare, and
I had a dinner of Southwestern Pulled Brisket, ala the SmittenKitchen.com, with a homemade coleslaw and a dessert of Ginger Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote on vanilla ice cream. I know I made it myself, but can I just say... YUM! Probably the best dinner I've ever made (besides Valentine's Day's black pepper encrusted steak in a mushroom sauce!).The days seem so easy and luxurious... I don't want them to end!
