昨日は結婚式に参列し、その後のパーティーにも参加し、今日は家に帰る前に泊まったところの近くのパブで義弟夫婦、姪っ子、義妹の弟ご夫婦と６人でランチをしてから家に戻って来ました。それについては、後ほどまたアップしようと思っていますが、とりあえず、今日の夕食のことを。ランチをしっかりといただいたので、夕食はごく軽く、チーズ、クラッカー、セロリやリンゴやナッツや干し葡萄などをいただきました。

Yesterday we attended our nephew’s wedding, then the wedding party afterwords and today we had lunch with my husband’s younger brother, his wife, their daughter, his wife’s brother and his wife at a pub near where we stayed.  I’ll be blogging about both later, but as we had a big lunch we just had a small cheese board for our evening meal (3 kinds of cheese, cheese biscuits, celery, apple, nuts & raisins).

何をしたわけでもないのに、なぜか夫もわたしもぐったりしています。ランチの時は普通だったのに家に戻ったらやたらと疲れが出ました。結婚式とその後のパーティーは結構長丁場ですごく暑かったというのもあるかもしれませんが、わたしたちは夜１０時ごろにはお暇したのでなぜそんなに疲れているのやら。

It’s not as if we did anything much but for some reason we are both feeling quite tired.  We were feeling OK at the lunch today, but once we got home and did the washing etc we started to feel exhausted.  The wedding and the party went on for quite a long time and it was very hot, which might’ve been why, but we left the party around 10:00pm so it seems strange that we are feeling so tired.
