Penguins, Hockey and more Penguins

(I posted this on Imzy yesterday morning but LJ was down for me most of yesterday)

Yesterday we went to The Deep in Hull for a slightly delayed birthday trip. I'm always a bit nervous about driving somewhere I've never been before but it was actually a pretty straightforward drive. Bill asked to listen to Hamilton as he'd heard a lot of people talking about it but didn't really know what it was. I need no encouragement to listen to Hamilton but the songs are going to be stuck in my head forever again now :D

I do love going to The Deep. I have an annual pass so it didn't cost me anything to get in and I got to flail over all of the penguins. We learned from the guide that one of them is called Stanley which amused me no end.

*Yawn*

Had to get up at 5am this morning to drop Bill off at the station for a 6am train. I don't think I've been up this early since I stopped working night shifts. It's good though. It means I'll go to bed at a sensible time tonight ready to be back at work tomorrow. It also means that by 7am this morning I'd done all my chores so the day is now mine. I'm feeling kind of inspired to write at the moment so I think I might spend today finishing the editing on my fic.

I'm enjoying the fact that the hockey world cup has matinee games. Usually all the hockey games are in the middle of the night for me so I barely get to see any. I've watched Sweden play three time already which is nice. Tonight is Finland vs Russia. On the one hand I want Russia to win because Geno but on the other hand if Russia win then North America get eliminated and the baby hockey players have been playing REALLY WELL. Ah well, what will be will be I guess.

Yesterday was fun. I took Bill into York city centre and introduced him to Patisserie Valerie aka best cake ever.
