Having a few troubles with downloading our photos, but just got it cleared up. So I wanted to post some photos and tell you about our first outdoor British BBQ. One of the guys in Brian's group hosted a BBQ at his flat with his fiance. Adam is British and is nearing the end of his graduate work at Oxford. He'll continue on still at Oxford for a postdoc. His fiance is Maggie, a beautiful blonde from Czech Republic. She does some type of land surveying outside of London. Her English is adorable with a very strong Czech accent (where sometimes I can't quite understand her!). 
So how it worked here, was that Adam and Maggie went to store and bought a bunch of different meats to grill, hamburgers, sausages, chicken, etc., along with the buns, sauces, etc. They also made a nice large salad. The rest of us were to just bring about 5 pounds and BYOB. So it was nice and laid back, with about 10 of us there. 3 gals, 7 guys, so at least I had some ladies to chat with. After the BBQ, we hung out inside at their flat and the guys got into a game of Risk.
I've never played it before, but wasn't a bit fan to be honest. So Maggie and I had fun just talking in the corner. I think I had a bit too much British beer though as I didn't feel too perky the next Sunday!
