Back to Italy briefly (Trieste photo) and from there a flight to Birmingham for a blind conference. Managed a canal tour (in preparation for Venice) and some superb Indian curries (much missed on this trip). The potato cart reminded us of some person we knows idea of making money from one herself.
The conference was more of a trade fair, so plenty of opportunity to look at and try out some of the adaptive technology around –some that I had never heard of. Loved a little Braille notetaker, basically a mini laptop that Braille users would use and ¼ of the size of a laptop. Met a number of people too who were suppliers of the equipment. We enjoyed socializing with English speaking people again for a couple of nights.
We had a game of table tennis while we were there (not us in the pic), as there was a push activity thing on and something like 500 table-tennis tables (my figure could be well out!)with bats and balls all over the place so that people could just have a hit - so we did!! World champs for us next year!!
