Winners...

Watched the first half of Hull City's victory over Barnsley in Blackies club, in Brough. Lots of oohs and aaahs and applause as the game unfolded on the big screen. And lots of comments about the tufty unkempt turf over at Oakwell Road. I listened to the second half on the radio in the car - the Tigers coming away 1-3 winners and shifting up to second place in The Championship. Father would have been overjoyed, having suffered a lot of barren, frustrating years as he slavishly followed a club that rarely repaid his faith. Three games to go. Lots of twitchy bum moments for fans between now and the end of the season, I should think. The prefix to the game was a meeting about the new play. I felt like a writer again for a short while, as I feverishly spluttered out my barely-formed plot, ably supported by several pages of notes. Anyway, a positive chat that made me feel good. Keep the whole of 2009 free for now - if all goes according to plan the play will be performed at some point next year.

I journeyed to the match with my dad and brother, but unfortunately we didn't make it to the game, we ended up in the traffic jam just down the road from where that poor young lad was killed! We ended up listening to the game on the car radio! Hope all goes well with the new play!
