This weekend I visited my dad's uncle in Somerset with my parents. Bob doesn't fall into the same category as the average aged relative. The most common look you'll receive from Bob is a conspiratorial cheeky smile as he drops his latest lewd or controversial comment- so a visit is no chore. It was his birthday, and he'd organised a party at his local pub The George (where he's a regular, and known as "Young Bob"). We had to go for a short "walk" at lunch time prior to the party (which "happened" to swing by The George for a quick jar), and then on to the main event (at The George) where we stayed until 10:30pm, enjoying a very convivial dinner with his family and friends. Over the last two days Bob's discussed Wi-fi, laptops, politics, religion, education, cranked up his £4,000 hi fi and made breakfast and lunch for my mum, dad and I. All of this after organising his own party, and drinking pretty much the same quantity of booze as me.
He's my role model- I want to be that animated and having that much fun when I'm 89 too :¬)

Hooray a new blog entry! Your Uncle Bob sounds like a role model for all of us. Perhaps I can get him to explain WiFi to me!
Yeah, sorry about that (Blair?), been a bit slack on the blog front- not been carrying my camera around as much as usual. Photos of Bob aren't the best- but had to be taken surrepticiously, as he hates having his photo taken :¬)
