I went down to my grandparents last wednesday. I've not seen them for a while, I was supposed to go down over christmas, but I was ill so didn't make it.

Granddad has been quite ill recently, and was in hospital when I spoke to my dad just a few days before. I was pleased to see that he was back home again when I was down. He's got lots of things wrong, but his mind is working well and he seemed to enjoy having me down to visit.

I also saw some of the other people I meant to see at the new year.
