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!

Current Mood: rushed

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 :]
