American liberals are tearing hair and gnashing teeth. Everyone fears that a Trump presidency is next, given the unexpected vote in the UK. I hear strong arguments for both sides, but also realize that there is a protracted period of negotiating what this means for the UK, and in the meantime, there is space to back away from this vote. I'm just contemplating upping my tea supply, given the good exchange rates. It's hard to get Fortnum & Mason in the US, and frankly, it's usually worth it just to order a lot and pay shipping costs. The exchange rate has been pretty steep for us as of late. It's now down to 1.36 (dollars to one pound), whereas when we were there 5 years ago it was more like 1.75.
I'm having a quiet afternoon, having just produced an apricot tarte and it's cooling in the kitchen. I contemplate going out to get some vanilla ice cream to have with it, but perhaps that would be overkill.
