Examinations

Well son number 1 finished his GCSEs today and is going around like an inebriated toddler - permamently on a high, made worse by drinking Red Bull or some such vile concoction. He thinks that is that but, assuming (!) that he passes each stage and wants, of course, to continue, although he does at the moment, this is just the first part of what could be a very long haul: GCSEs, AS, A2, first year uni, second and last, but not least, finals. Even with a potential gap year that is still a formidable challenge which he must surmount and I hope that he, who is so laid back that he is horizontal, realises that.
