  I had fun going to see my Uncle. Not many people can say they enjoy going to see their relatives. I guess I'm just lucky. You see my Uncle can fix almost anything, he's a compulsive hoarder of stuff and perhaps the most practical and knowledgeable guy I know.
He hasn't changed since I can remember. My cousin Tom is the only one of my 5 cousins who is still with him after my aunt shacked up with some other bastard and the others went with her. I never ever liked her. It was wierd seeing him again the last time I saw him he was only 13 and now he's a young man.
It continually amazes me how time changes people. Ah well nostalgia is not what it used to be eh?! I finally managed to get some reading done on the trains there and back. This time it's High Fidelity by Nick Hornby, a fantastic book. I'd seen the film before and thought it was great however after reading the book its no comparison. although It does capture some of the spirit of the book it doesn't match it, although if they'd left some of the cut scenes in (on the DVD bonus materials section) it may have made more sense. Steve said I'd find a lot of parralels in it and I did. I'll have to read it again, maybe a few years from now but I get the feeling I'll have read it at least the once before Christmas.
Also on the book front I managed to pick up a copy of Peter F. Hamiltons "The Naked God" for 99p at a little record stall in town today. Not bad eh? I'm still reading "Iron Council" as well and what can I say other than it is fab. Anyway I'm off
