Well I'm sure you're celebrating the holiday more than we are. It's a bit difficult to celebrate in England, since really America is celebrating their independence from England! But actually they do mention it on the radio a bit so that's nice. So it's just a regular 'ol day in Oxford. And cool and rainy like it's been all June. Blah. Brian and I did grill out some yummy shrimp kabobs and I made a festive looking berry tart for dessert. Had to get in some sort of red, white and blue!
Went to a 4th of July BBQ last night (so really on the 3rd of July). Brian's advisor from the University of Oregon, Mike Raymer, has been over here this past week doing some collaborate work with Brian and other colleagues in the U.K. I'll blog more about his visit. But basically Brian's current advisor Ian and his wife and kids hosted a BBQ last night for Mike and other North American postdocs in the group. So we went to their house again (like we did for Easter) and had a nice time. Ian, Mike, Brian and the visiting professor Matt, all took turns jamming on Ian's guitars. Funny that all these physicists have the same interest in classical rock and blues music! Was a good time had by all and at least some patriotism was celebrated!
