Exams and uni visits

Well we have survived all the AS exams, J says they went ok but then he always says that. Since last blogging we have been on a couple of university visits. Last weekend we were in Bristol where we inadvertantly ended up at a 'Residential Home for the elderly' by mistake - could happen to anyone and I definitely blame the satnav.

Anyway J liked the uni and he's going to apply there although not his first choice. While he was at his Maths and Physics lectures P and I looked round the city which is lovely. P had a bit of a struggle pushing me up and down the steep hills and as we went back up to the uni for the last time he was definitely a bit short of breath. There was also an interesting moment when a wheelchair handle came off going downhill. P popped into a mini-supermarket for some superglue and the shopkeeper came out looking very concerned to make sure it worked. People in Bristol seemed to be very friendly.

P and J headed off to Imperial College yesterday which they really liked (this was where my brother went and er didn't like it very much but he says it was him not them). J's a bit worried about the accommodation costs though.

Just two more visits to go.
