turpsFinally the weather has turned to summer-like, and I had a very lovely day on Thursday.
We went to see Now You See Me 2, which I enjoyed so much more than I was expected, walked around Metrocentre and checked out all three of the shops I buy clothes in, came home and then went out to eat with Pauline. She wanted to go to a local Indian resturant, one that used to be one of dad's favourite places to go. Pauline hadn't eaten there since, so this was a big step in terms of going back to much loved places.
After that we dropped her off at home, and as it was such a lovely evening decided to head to the beach, and it was so beautiful there. One of those calm, warm nights, the sun slowly setting and the water looking so inviting. I did end up going for a plodge eventually, so ended up going to nanna's and then home with damp trousers and sandy feet, but it was well worth it.
It was the MiL's birthday yesterday, but as James was at work we took her out on Friday. She finds it really painful and difficult to walk now, so we ended up at the coast -- though a different part from the night before -- and she, James and my FiL had fish and chips in the car while I got a salad from Subway. We eventually ended up at St Mary's Island at Whitley Bay, so while James stayed with his mam and dad I went for a quick mooch about.
And this last one was St Mary's Island.
Corey had been staying in Newcastle that week, so once we dropped off the in laws we headed over there and brought him home for the weekend. He was supposed to be going back today but that didn't actually happen.
James had terrible nerve pains in his stump leg just before he was due to go to work. We don't know if it's because of his new leg, the insole he's started to wear throwing him slightly off balance or what, but the pain hit suddenly and he was in agony, saying it felt like his stump was on fire. There wasn't a chance he could go to work, so all he's done today is sit with his legs up and wait for the pain to ease.
Thankfully it's started to do so, so hopefully all will be well tomorrow.
