A small town in Yorkshire (part 1)

[mrph]

So, here I am in Whitby. It's been a bit of a curate's egg so far.

It's a bit quiet. The Elsinore was mostly empty at 5:30 on Thursday.

A lot of familiar faces aren't here - and even though the Spa got reasonably busy by the end of Friday night, it still wasn't amazingly social.

Whitby itself is still lovely, of course. And it's been great to catch up with the people who are here - Batty, Alex, Lee, Dave H, Suz, Fuzzy, Giolla and some of the other usual suspects.

Mostly, though, I've been socialising with the Coventry contingent - Vicky, Col, Elaine and Huw. Which is generally more fun in the day than in the evenings, I think. The Spa isn't a great place to socialise in that way.

Possibly I just need more dancing. Or perhaps I've finally reached the point where the idea of a nice cup of tea, a slice of cake and a comfy chair appeals more than standing in the Spa with a plastic cup of passable booze, a bit of background noise and cold feet. :)

I reached the cup of tea and comfy sofa twenty five years ago. Now I want the dancing :D

Keep an eye out for Andrew as he'll be around this evening with Inertia.

I've been noticing the increased appeal of the cup of tea and sticky cake too. It's the voice of experience speaking, I think ;)
