Getting Back Into the Rhythm

jaceyGetting my head into the right space after Number One Daughter's wedding seems to have taken me longer than I expected. It was like trying to come round after jet-lag. I seem to be back in the rhythm now, though. What have I done since the wedding...
Cleared up at the village hall and drove home (Sunday)
Saw off Number One Son to the USA to start his five year PhD at Princeton. (Monday, early.) And he even remembered to call me to tell me he was safely arrived and settling in!
Slept for two days - off and on - and read a couple of books, wrote a couple of reviews for my book log and slept some more.
Went to the Village Hall committee meeting. (Tuesday.)
Did a bit more family history research after four birth/marriage certificates arrived in the post while we were away at thew wedding. (Wednesday and Sunday.)
Started writing a short story. (Wednesday.)
Took Mum to the local market. (Thursday.)
Helped out at the Village Hall tea dance. (Friday.) Yeah, it may sound a little weird, but now we have our lovely new grant-funded village hall we are experimenting with all sorts of community functions. We only got a dozen people (average age 70+) but they had a whale of a time and I remembered how to dance a Valeta.
Helped out at the village BBQ (Saturday) serving burgers, hot dogs, salads and cakes.
Watched Season One of Moonlight (it was OK but I wasn't enormously impressed) over the weekend.
Harvested runner beans from the garden (Sunday.)
Watched Season One of Doll House (Saturday and Sunday). More in a separate post.
OK, so looking at all that, maybe it wasn't enmtirely a wasted week... And today I'm getting my head around the day job again. Have done two Certificates of sponsorship (think electronic work permits) for two incoming American performers. Just gearing up to do a big mailshot.
