For breakfast and lunch, we had brunch. Specifically, we went to Matchbox in One Loudoun. I had a mimosa made with tequila (I regret nothing) and Eggs Benedict with a salad and side of potatoes.
Then we went to see Fantastic Beasts at The Alamo. I was super excited because they had a special menu item for the film: treacle tart. Which they were out of. Laaaaaaaaaaame. Anyway, the movie (and there are no spoilers here) was pretty good. Not as good as the Harry Potter movies, but since there are more to come, I'm sure they'll become more interesting. (Just like how Sorcerer's Stone was kind of 'okay, here's the beginning of the story' and then they got darker and more basilisk-y.)
For exercise I did 90 minutes of yoga. It was a yin class, and we held some of the poses for 3 minutes. Now I feel like Gumby.
Dinner was leftover veal bolognese with ricotta garlic toasts. Fun fact: spell check does not think bolognese is a word. It was me to change it to bologna. Not gonna do it, spell check!
Lastly, happy anniversary to these two crazy kids: Lillibet & Phil! If you haven't watched The Crown yet on Netflix, you should--it's great!
To celebrate, here are some of his, um, more "memorable" quotes:
 |
| Brunch without mimosas is just a sad, late breakfast. |
 |
| Nom nom nom nom nom. |
 |
| I liked the niffler because it liked tiaras. |

To celebrate, here are some of his, um, more "memorable" quotes:
- “If you travel as much as we do, you appreciate the improvements in aircraft design of less noise and more comfort – provided you don’t travel in something called economy class, which sounds ghastly.”
- "The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. If we could just stop the tourism, we could stop the congestion."
- To a Scottish driving instructor: “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?”
- Asking Cate Blanchett to fix his DVD player because he was told she worked in the film industry: “There’s a cord sticking out of the back. Might you tell me where it goes?”
- “People think there’s a rigid class system here, but dukes have even been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans.”
I suppose there's hope for me yet! Have a good short week before Thanksgiving, errybody!
