Its nice to have a day not electioneering, it is even better to jump on a train and visit my niece Emily. I haven't seen Emily for a few months and she has grown so much (small people to that I believe!), and whilst I don't see it so much with kids I see more often (Edwin and Rupert spring to mind) it is very noticeable when you don't see someone for a while.

I had a good time playing with Emily, my parents were also visiting so they will babysit tonight whilst I go out with Peter and Claire to see Mission Impossible 3, its not often they get to go to the cinema anymore so they are looking forward to it.
