A Trip To Goole - Sunday 9th October 2000

Had my seasonal covid booster and flu jabs on Monday. On Sunday I'd had a call from Danny asking me if I fancied a trip to Goole this week. A bit short notice and not too convenient so I tried to put him off for for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately he couldn't do that so I agreed to go. Andy and June came round in the afternoon. Got the train up on Tuesday (there was a rail strike on Wednesday). All went well until I got to Doncaster and due to a problem on the line at Saltmarsh got stuck there. Had to get a train to Brough via Selby in the end. We were staying at Cave Castle in South Cave so it was actually better than going to Goole. Met up and had a pleasant meal at the hotel. On Wednesday we went to Goole for a wander round. Couldn't get on the docks unfortunately as the footoath was closed. Went to the museum in the library. Got chatting to the curator chap and it turned out his father used to work with Danny. They chatted on the phone. Tried to get to a fishing pond we used to go to called Oak Hill but couldn't. Its now a nature reserve. There isn't a hill. We went to Beverley next to try to find some of Danny's old neighbours from North Cave. He didn't have there address but I found it on Google. We couldn't get in the restaurant in the evening so ate in the Bistro. Plain sailing on the way back on Thursday. Had first Thursday drinks in the Greyfriar but just me Dave Kirkham and JR. M had her covid booster and flu jabs. Unfortunately unlike me she had a bit of a bad reaction with a temperature and sleepless night. Finished my animation on Friday. It was Tom's birthday on Saturday, we'd sent him some vinyl.
Had a call from JAM on Sunday. Madeline is pulling herself up to standing quite a lot now. Did some gardening. Cooked a chicken tikka masala.
