Deadlited 100Kg this morning which is way above my body weight!  Tried 110 Kilo but failed miserably! 
The main thing that has made me happy though is that big yellow globe in the sky!  I have travelled to Stanhope with Motoerhome and took Kato on a long, walk along the river and wore him out! He is now sleeping on his 'Blankee'
It's a glorious day fotr the time of year and just made myself summat to eat and a brew. I have my new sea fishing gear on board so will sleep here tonight then travel to Blyth Harbour early tomorrow and try it out. My eldest Son lives at Blyth and I haven't seen my newest grandaughter yet,so if they are home I will get to see Ella May.

The Silver Submarine passed her MOT. The new one should arrive end of next week. Had the SS failed I would have been a bit discombobulated without a car.

Spending the day outdoors, some gardening and messing around with the caravan.

YS bargains for the garden! I bought a kit of 5 Paperwhite narcissus, ready to be planted in a plastic-lined, wicker basket, with compost for 80p. Original price £8.
Don't rush to my Morries to buy them as there were only 6 and I bought them all !! I'll plant the bulbs in the garden and use the compost for tomatoes. Probably give the baskets away as they're too much faff to water.

The news that we could be two weeks away from selling our house! Then realistically, we could be three weeks away from buying this house! OMG, the relief that would be! Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Well, with everything good, something bad happens. We went to the tax office today for Jay to show his passport. They're the ones that get you registered in this country, so you can access health care, pay tax, get pensions etc. We sent through the application last week, and it usually takes seven weeks for a decision to be made.
When we got there today, the lady said they'd already made a decision, in fact they had made the decision the day after our application which is unusual by her reckoning. They have declined Jay getting registered here.
The lady and her colleague recommended we apply again and explain one particular bit clearer, so we did that there and then. Lots of paperwork for me now, to upload all the evidence again.
I don't like bureaucracy one bit.
