In recognition of how much we've got to do in the next couple of days, fate has decided to get heavy on us. I came down with some undefined virus on Friday, which I think I still have. (I've been oscillating between deciding it's meningitis and malaria, so far, but as I seem to be able to go to work, it probably isn't either). We've also not been sleeping to well because summer has arrived again, after a couple of months off, and it's been stifflingly hot.

I assume all of this is normal in the run-up to a wedding.

Steph's family arrived from the US on Saturday evening and then came around to visit on Sunday. We haven't seen them since Christmas, so it was good to see them again. Steph's gone out shopping with her mother today, buying odds and ends for the wedding and reception. At least that gets me out of it. :)

Our writing has probably suffered a bit as a result of the above. I didn't get any done over the weekend (I didn't do anything on Saturday, except lie around feeling ill), and this morning we were too tired to go into the coffee shop for our normal session. It's slightly frustrating, because we're both near the beginning of our novels, and at that stage you don't want to stop and lose momentum. I guess, though, that we won't be doing an awful lot for the next five days.

Wedding stuff is getting a little hectic. People are arriving. We're running around sorting out all of the small, complicated little odds and ends that you don't think about until the end. But it's all coming together without either of us being too stressed, and amazingly, despite what everyone says about getting married, without having any arguments.

Now, what was it I was supposed to sort out in my lunch break today?
