I spent Easter with my family in north London. We sort of all converged on my grandmother's house in north London: my parents from Cheshire, Luke and Yan from muswell hill, and my cousin Cyril from Newcastle. It was great to see them, and I realised I had missed them. It was great to hear everyone talking again - they're mostly scientists so mostly the talk was about molecules and enzymes and NMR tubes. Mind you, after church last night, dad told us a bit of the history of the bible, and about how, far from being a rigid document, it used to change and was debated over by scholars for thousands of years. I'd forgotten how learned my father can be when he wants to.

I'm back now with Lyn, after having a delicious roast at my grandmother's. it was awesome to sit with everyone in her kitchen again, but now, with the sun shining over south London, it's time to spend some time with my girlfriend,
