Hull (like you care)

[tamaranth]

Have been to Hull and back. The various roads did not seem to be paved with good intentions, but neither were they paved with traffic jams. A long day, nonetheless: 17 hours door to door, of which about 7 were spent in the Glorious North, where it rained. My digital camera is still in the back of Designated Driver's car, so artistic shots of the Humber Estuary and photographic evidence of various imaginary internet friends (amazing what you can do with computers) will have to wait.

It's very strange meeting imaginary internet friends: these are people who know more, and different, things about me than do those of you 'real life' people. At least there's none of that tedious social circling: we know we like one another or we wouldn't, for heaven's sake, have gone to Hull. Strange, though, to find that Nina's eyes are a peculiar shade of green, and that Lizzie's bookshelf juxtaposes Einstein and Larkin, and that Lou's collection of geek-books is way better than mine.

We discussed literary theory a lot. No, really.

From Hell, Hull and Halifax, good lord deliver us...

Well I've been to Hull, and Halifax, so two out of three ain't bad.
I found the train journey to Hull from Leeds was quite magnificent last time I did it, as it ran along the side of the Humber for some time, with excellent views. Last time I went there by car it was a disastrous weekend with nothing but a crazy anecdote for it.
Quite a nice place, I recall.

I am reminded that I had a plan to write up my recent day trip to Hull, under the heading "Hull Freezes Over".
