I did try to narrow down today's photos- but i've still got 8, sorry ;d
First day of Download! It was so cool (and at time, just plain cold xp) and we got to see loads of bands today x3 The ones I've got pictures up of are CKY & Pendulum, though we saw many more.

Free Monster on Arrival, niiice!

So it was time to go home today, we went out for Sunday dinner first at a place Mel liked but his mind changed as we were waiting over 40 minutes for a simple dinner XD As a chef i guess it's hard to be on the other side of the hotplate! I thought it was funny we sat on this table though, as it's 10/10/10 today XD
After that we set off back home pretty late. We meant to set off at like 1 but stuck around a little bit longer chatting and stuff so didn't leave till 4.30, nevermind.

Today sucked. We drove to Hull to go see Tony's Great grandad as he has wanted to talk with him for quite a while, but when we got there, he was in an ambulance Xdd The doctor had rushed him in as although he thought he was fine, the doctor thought he had a bloodclot in his lung. So Tony didn't really get to talk to him and was quite upset as he was afraid he wouldn't get another chance to see him (his Dad died of a bloodclot, so its quite raw). So we chatted with one of his grandads friends who happened to be visiting and she reassured us, he does things like this now and then, and then to Mel's sister who turned up, and we left about 4 and went back home for a little while.
As it was our last night there, me and Tony told Mel to take us out to a place he liked and we'd get dinner, so that's what we did, it was really nice too.
I'm not 100% what the thing in his great grandads lung turned out to be, but he is out of hospital now so it seems a bit like a bit of badly-timed bad luck! Hopefully we will go up again soon as Tony really wants to talk with him.

Current Mood: disappointed

Tony was still pretty ill today so he stayed home after we'd nipped out for some rock and me, Mel & Mel's mate went out to the sealife centre. I'd wanted to go all week and cause Tony was sick I think Mel felt he should take me, I felt a little bad about that as he didn't enjoy himself much, his mate seemed to think it was fun though XD
Everyone knows what's in a sealife centre, so here's some of the better pics I managed to take. The weather was awful today too with mist, the first pic is a photo of the fancy huge hotel XD

It's there, honest!

Today we went to York! It took a bit of fussing as we meant to get the train, but then we found out the station was only running buses while they repaired the lines. Mel was not happy and refused to pay train fares for a bus, so we went by car XD York is such a beautiful place! It has some tiny streets and lots of modern things too, it really is a lovely city. First we went to the Minster, I kept calling it a cathedral but apparently you should not, because it is a minster....as it turns out it has a sodding cathedral built into it and to me looked like a massive church anyway! It was really beautiful though, luckily we went on a day when they were only holding minimal services so we didn't have to worry about avoiding those (Not that it's a problem for me, I'd just rather not get in their way!) so after a bit of an explore there we went on to get some foods & find a pharmacy as Tony wasn't feeling well, he seemed to have the same thing Mel had only was taking it a little worse. After some lunch we went to look at a small round castle, I climbed to the thing and took some pictures, but didn't go in. When I met back up with the other 2, Tony wasn't good at all so Mel thought it was probably best if we went home. So we shall have to visit York again sometime! I would like to go with my big camera & take some pictures that aren't skewed (I don't know what was wrong with me at the cathedral but every. single. one. of my photos is off one way or the other xdd) and explore the basements & tower some more, I would also like to maybe climb the castle for the view and then look at the roman walls which we only saw a tiny bit of XD Next time then.

Tudor houses everywhere

Current Mood: cold

Today we went on a bit of a tour about even though Mel wasn't feeling very well. First we went to Whitby to have a look about, it's the town Bram Stoker's Dracula is based in :] We got breakfast and had a look about, took some photos of course and that, even played on the slotties for a little while but didn't make it up to the castle for some reason, I think it was because Mel didn't feel good (he didn't tell us at the time) after a couple of hours we went onto Pickering. It was further away than I realised but was still a nice town. We got there just in time to see the steam train come in :] This is the place where Heartbeat films it's station scenes.

Today we went to Yorkshire with Tony's Grandad, Mel :] It took us quite a while to get there, but I fell asleep for most the way so I didn't notice too much xp
We went back to Mel's first and had some tea and a bit of a relax, then went out to explore! He lives about 5 mins from the beach at Scarborough, so cool x3 So we walked along the beachfront and Mel pointed things out to us that were of interest, a lot has happened in Scarborough, I hadn't realised what an important town it used to be.
First is the giant hotel in Scarborough built in Victorian times I believe. Then I was lucky enough to be there when they were setting out a lifeboat for practice. The third some should recognise? And lastly is Scarborough lighthouse :]

Massive hotel

Current Mood: aggravated

Today was another of those days where I thought I did something but I don't have the photos to show for it so most likely just a trip up town, or more likely, dropping Tony off somewhere & dossing about at home till it was time to go to work. Work has been busy like woah lately and is one of the reasons my LJing is falling behind. Occasionally I can update at work on my phone but cause I take a while to type and correct typos on the phone often people notice me dossing XD I usually only update when we do the lates too, like till 2 or 3 in the morning else people get cranky about it.
Annnnnyway! Enjoy the pics, work is gonna be hetic again over the next couple of days so I hope they aren't too bad & th LJs arent too held up.

( Its a cut! )

Today I have no clue what I did...I think my memory is getting worse xd I know it was Sunday? I seem to think I spent most the day at home anyway and my photos encourage that. So, since I obviously have nothing to say onto the pics! Paisley is with the other mini plush I won off ebay the other day, and the other is where Aunty Betty went on holiday recently, she gave me this nom fudge when she got back yesterday x3

Today we spent the morning about the caravan (got some more reading done :3) and then we went to Aber again as planned, but this time with Tony's little brother Edward as he had some money he was having trouble looking at and so wanted to get rid of it XD We parked up and watched some surfers for a while (it was sunny, but not that sunny brrrrr) and then went along to the arcade first. We wasted some money there, and I got my thumb smooshed on the air hockey table :c We 'earned' some tokens from various machines and gave them to Edward. We then went along to the ruined castle that I hadn't explored enough of yesterday. I still didn't get a proper exploration in as we were halfway round and I got distracted by an attractive looking street leading from it, which then turned out to lead to the high street. We walked down it looking at this and that and went to the Spar for lunch, where we finally conviced Edward we weren't going to pay for his lunch and nothing is cheap in a Spar, or on the beach. Anyway, everyone got lunch, but I had a blonde moment and bought myself some tea for later, but completely forgot about lunch xD We had actually taken a while looking around the town so we went back to the car and I glanced at the hill tram which I will explore better next time I go, then we went back to the caravan. Tony's Grandad was arriving today too, that's why we stayed the extra night, and so we said hi and the others watched TV while I read some more. At about 7 we went to the club again (not much else to do it seems) and i took some pics around the club bit before going in though. We actually got a bit drunk tonight, I had various Red bull + alch and then before we left I tried all the flavours of the weak shots (the 15% ones) and let everyone else have a taste too cause we wanted to know what they were like XD Cherry was the best XD When we got back I got the noodles I bought in the spar while everyone else had toast and listened to stories that the adults were telling. Tomorrow we're going back home.
Oh, the restuarant pic may want explaining...it's a sushi and noodle bar! I reallyreallyreally wanted to go in and try but the menu was so expensive and I didn't want to get any skinter, so this is a wish for next time XD

Huge ruins at Aber, pretty too

Today I wanted to go to a butterfly farm just outside of Aberwrystwith (Google tells me this is how it's spelt? It still doesn't look right) Before we went we had lunch in Aber, and helped out a couple of bikers, one of the bikes wouldn't start just popped whenever they bumped it (name a car similar? Xp) after watching it not starting a bit we remembered we had a bump starter with us, so we lent it to them and it actually worked! Not sure how long for, but hopefully it got him where he wanted to go.
Anyway when we got to the butterfly place we found it was over a fiver a person and we could see the greenhouse wasn't that big...i don't know if this is the standard price for butterfly houses but they should bring it down some Xp Anyway, the place was based in an out-in-the-countryside place which turned out to be a hydro-power station as the visitor centre there informed us. We spent a bit of time looking in the centre and playing with their interactive screens and such and looking at the calm lake and hills (typical Wales view) before we went back into town as i wanted to have a look about the town. We wandered the streets and the beach a little, and late on we discovered the castle there but didn't really have time to explore it well, so kept it in mind for tomorrow.
We went to the club again in the evening but left after the bingo again (which I majorly suck at...you can't win if you don't join in they say, but I just can't win period....XD) We went back the the caravan and watched a DVD and had nibbles before going to bed and I read for a while while Tony finished the mechanics DS game I mentioned a couple of weeks ago :3

Nice pub decorations

So today we got everything together and set the stereo back up in the mini, fueled up and away we went :3 It was a pretty easy trip, stopping once at McDonalds in Newtown for lunch- though we were actually pikeys and took our own sandwiches, which we ate in their car park XD
Got to the caravan at about 3ish, and waited for a short time till Tony's parents came back. We said hi and all that and had some sandwiches for tea too (x.X) and then I went out and took some pics around the campsite, finding a peacock and annoying it a bit with a grass-pheasant whistle, didn't put it's tail up though.
We went to the club in the evening, and Tony's mum played bingo, I got one board thing and used it for all the games that were played, cheapskate, but I never win so it wasn't a problem for me XD I took some more pics of the interesting building, it's really old and the club is actually based in the old cellar. Creepy ;p We went back to the caravan after a bit to watch a DVD and eat some chips, much better than sandwiches!
