Day 13 - And now we are four again

Desney got up at 5:30 in the morning to take the Eurostar to go fetch Alex and I slept in. I didn’t get up until about 08:30 and slowly got ready.

My throat is hurting more and more and it hurts to swallow. Yawning hurts particularly. But it’s bearable and I can eat.

Jessica got home about noon looking as pale as a sheet. She apparently averaged about 3 to 4 hours sleep per night while she was away which is generally a sign she had a very good time. She’ll be spending the next 4 days catching up on her sleep before going back to school on Thursday.

The two of us went out for a quick Japanese lunch and then I went shopping at the market for more mushy food and such. Lunch was good, especially as we both love sushi, and the Japanese green tea went down quite well. Jessica spent the entire meal telling me all about her trip and it sounds like it was wonderful.

Desney was able to get an earlier train back and she and Alexandra arrived at about 16:30. Alexandra spoke English for the rest of the evening which is exactly what we wanted to hear. It sounds like she had a great and very adventurous time at Camp Beaumont with absailing and climbing and jumping from ropes to ropes and ploughing through the mud…

It’s great to have the family back together again…

Finished the evening watching the Breeder's Cup Turf race... live from Belmont Park in New York... our horse came in fourth which was a sad and painful end to the day... it was a great race to watch though...
