Rosenburgs


Just finished watching an excellent programme on BBC 4 about Julius and Ethel Rosenburg executed in June 1953 accused of being spies, reason for Blog being late. Programme was done by their grandaughter Ivy daughter of their son Michael and was very poignant, brought a lot of kith and kin into it, and friends who the Rosenburgs refused to name. These were the dark days of McCarthyism in America, and although , papers were produced from the CIA in 1995 showing Julius may have been involved in "something" it had nothing to do with what he was accused of, ie giving secrets of the Atomic Bomb to the Russians! It appears Ethel was innocent!.
Through to Glasgow yesterday to visit Graham's mum, a good visit. Journey there and back ok.
Baby Bella had her first batch of immunisations done yesterday wee sausage, hope to see her today or tomorrow, her mum is starting to make her some little dresses.
Ruaridh's paw is improving, though he is still walking on three legs bless him, trying to keep him out of the mud! Takes his antibiotics well in a big blob of jam!
Dinner by Graham last pm couscous and a tagine of vegetables delicious. Goodnight.
