Spirits remain high, but the champagne is depleting

We appear to have found some really great house / pet sitters who send glowing reports of the pets each night. I will give everyone their contact details when we get home.
We are having a laugh in Whitby, we keep getting visitors who all come wanting fish and chips. The whole place is full of fish and chip shops and people come from  miles around for their lunch. We will be on our third fish and chip outing with different family members today, but we are rebelling now and have checked there are other dishes on the restaurant menu. It started well the fish and chip theme ... but just not possible everyday.
We were at a cafe in Sandsend this morning when Malc stood up and fell flat on his face, his knee has given up!! The lovely house we have rented is  on five levels and because the top floor has an ensuite that is where we are. To give you an idea the room is called " 199 steps" the same number as up to Whitby Abbey. We have yet to figure out how we will get Malc up there tonight. 
Crossfingers for us that the kneecharger arrives tomorrow. Spirits remain high and Malc was not hurt in his tumble although the two ladies he landed next to seemed amazed to have a good looking elderly gent throw himself to their feet.
