Day 87 - Tired, but happy.

Afetr all the emotion and excitement of yesterday, we awoke after a less than perfect night's sleep, both still tired, although I am not sure we would admit that.

The girls were staying at a hotel with their uncle last night, and they arrived home about 10am. I had to return the hired suits and cake stand, and the house needed a tidy up.

James at physio this afternoon was surprised, after the wedding and all the walking that cleo had done, that her hand and wrist were not more stiff than they actually were. He spent most of the physio working on the fingers and wrist, and noted a rather stiff single joint in the hand, by the first and second knucle, which he thought it may be worth working some more on, because sometimes a single misplced joint can cause a kind of block that stops other things working (at least that's how i understood what he was saying). Get the blockage out and the whole thing begins to work again.

On the way back from the hospital, to save cooking tonight we bought Macdonalds for the girls.

By 6pm cleo was visibly wilting and we got her in the bath, where she relaxed for nearly an hour. Once done, she needed to sleep, and went off to bed, and has slept since then. Thats some 4 hours now.

I have to say it has been a tiring couple of days, but all the effort was worth it, now we are married. We now need to focus on the handfasting in June.

Now that is going to be a special day!
