It's been a little while, so I guess the headline is I got married! We had a lovely time up in Scotland with the family, and then just the two of us for a minimoon in a little cottage on a farm. It's been really joyous to just revel in the feeling of having no big thing to plan, and the glow of finally being married. The pace of things has slowed right down, and it's come as little surprise as to how much that was needed! As a result, there's not been a vast amount happening, other than just taking life easy for a while. That said, we're both already getting slightly itchy about not having any big plans to make, so there are already a few pots on the heat, though turned down very low for now.

I'm slightly out of the groove with working out, after two weeks off for wedding-related activity, and now factoring in recovery from a hand tattoo. I've a chest piece booked in for the 20th as well, so I might be somewhat out of action for a few more weeks yet. My vague intention is to step up the amount I'm walking, and try to at least get my steps in every day.
