Sunday was very quiet as Ray was feeling rough still and I started the sore throat so I'm in for the cold now.
We did walk round the beach in the sunshine and then I came back and watched the Catherine Cookson Film on The Yesterday Channel.
I love all her books that describes the era so well of poverty against wealth and love and wonder how much is based on her own life--Catherine Cookson was born in Tyne Dock, Co. Durham in 1906. She started life out as Catherine McMullen, the illegitimate daughter of a poor, alcoholic and violent mother, Kate Fawcett. Catherine grew up believing Kate was her older sister but soon found out that she was really her mother. and always so full of Romance. http://uktv.co.uk/yesterday/item/aid/536014
As my father's side of the family came from South Hylton Newcastle and his Great Grandmother and her Mother worked in the fields Im always imaging them as I'm watching the films. Dads Grandfather was Illegitimate as well, his life must have been hard when he was a boy, so he made a better life for himself by moving to Chatham Dockyard as a Shipwright.
I made a wonderful Roast Dinner --yes with Roast Beef. mmmm mmmm.
Monday
I'm doing Ok with the cold as I was worried as what this first cold I have had since being ill, would be like.
I have to so careful not to have any chest infection or in the lungs as I will end up in hospital if my breathing is difficult and also I'm so scared what might trigger my Tumour off again.
Its like knowing you have an Alien inside your Lung and what ever you do --Don't wake it up.
But I'm still very strong and we went to Tankerton slopes with Louis where he had a great ball game, he is so mad on football games but I used his little tennis ball today and he was worn out.
I'm so amazed how he is walking past big dogs with no fuss, we really are seeing such a big change in him.
I think he feels he cant dominate large dogs and knows his place but small dogs he must feel superior and tries to dominate them.
We came home had lunch and tidied up, they had forecasted rain but I was able to get the washing done and it dried fast in the wind.
Dinner was Salmon and Broccoli with cheese and baked in the oven with new potatoes.
