Tuesday, 25th November.
Helen came up bringing something for my tea. She's off to London again tomorrow with friends on a theatre break.
Douglas's 11th Birthday today.He phoned whenever he came in from school to tell me he had a mobile phone. He was SO excited!Must send him a text.
Just before seven o'clock the doctor phoned to say my blood tests were inconclusive and I've to have more taken on Thursday morning. Honestly, all I know is that I can hardly walk and and every part of my body is aching. It would be very easy to stay in all the time, but I feel I must try to go out. It takes my mind of it a bit. Stephen gave me a lift and came back for me.
He asked me if I still had copies of the talk I gave to St Gabriel's P7 about the war and photos, ration books etc as Lara is doing that at primary just now, so I said I'd have a look.

Cannonballs
29th November, 2007
“Oh, what a beautiful morning” to quote the song. It’s just such a change from the dreary weather we’ve had all week.It made me feel more cheerful, but my back pain is just wearing me down. No matter what I am doing it is getting relentless, so it’s the doctor again tomorrow I’m afraid (If I can get an appointment.) I’ve so much to do, so hope I get a bit more help. Glad I managed to do most of shopping online earlier in the week.
Managed to Nan and Jerry’s on Tuesday with Kay. She comes in after being at the Pennypit helping at the Adult Basic Education unit. Everyone is telling her she could get a full time job as both boys are at school, but I think she feels this will give her confidence to get back into the workplace. She may decide to do a short teacher training course at Moray House later. Nan and Jerry had gone to such trouble to make us a lovely lunch, with a beautifully set table etc.
At night Jean and I went to the History Society. Very few members there, but we had one of the most interesting speakers we had ever had and she was local. Marie Connachan/Baillie had brought along a cannonball which her husband discovered in the back garden. It was surprisingly small, but very heavy. She’d found out it had been fired at the battle of Prestonpans from the sea or been brought up on a cart from Dunbar by Cope’s army! Seemingly,it was capable of going through three men and a horse. Horrible! This information was given to her husband when he went to Edinburgh castle to enquire about weapons of war. It was also commom practice to go round after a battle to retrieve the cannonballs as they were very expensive! She’s going to send me the website to get more information. She also brought an old cream jug which also had quite a history. Marie is quite an interesting character, with a good sense of humour, so it was an enjoyable meeting.
Margaret came yesterday and helped put up my heavy curtains, so the living room looks quite cosy. Jonathan coming at weekend. Says he’ll help to put up my little tree etc. Rita came in afternoon, then Lilian. She’s been away at Benidorm. She goes there all the time. Not my cup of tea I’m afraid, but at least it’s sunny! Looking after Vincent as Sandra away to London for a few days. Left me another Janet Evanovich book.
Al's Christmas exhibition starting this weekend.
