Sunday September 4, 1983

 14th Sunday after Trinity

Linthorpe Hotel, Middlesbrough

Marie gave us some of the Barnes pork joint for our lunch. We ate on trays and watched TV. Pork shouldn't be pink, and this was at the centre. One can easily get the shits, but we escaped attack. 

What are we to call our son? Samuel is still touch and go. I like Oliver ... but Oliver Lawrence Dixon would make him OLD Rhodes. Would that be a dreadful cross to bear through his life? How about Oliver Dixon Lawrence? As for a girl ... Clementine has never been in question since that hot day in Ios in 1981.

A warm, gentle day. Ally and I took off to town with Samuel at 1pm. We didn't take the pram and I carried baby for two hours, by the end...
