As some of you may know, before our UK holiday we managed to 'misplace' our driving documents, including driving licences and car insurance and log documents, this has meant that we are unable to drive here in China until we get them replaced. Today we started the recovery process, going to two local police stations, as one does the licences the other the car documents. For a change, it seems to be going to plan.... so far... I apparently have to have a medical test as I am over 60, well when I got the licence initially I was already over 60 and the only medical I got was an eye test, so what they want this time I don't really know as we have to trot off to the local hospital for it on Monday. We had to supply a new photograph of our car for the documents (your car docs have a photo of it here) this has to be taken at a 45deg angle and slightly high of the car, our first efforts were rejected but they seem to have accepted our second try.
There is some 'internal dispute' here at home as to how the documents became lost in the first place, I maintain that I put them where I always do with my wallet on the shelf in this room, my theory being that dear Rose on realising that we were going away decided to put them away in a 'safe place' and now cant find them!
I will not be surprised if they turn up after we go through the rigmarole of replacing them. We should be up and running again by sometime next week. Fingers crossed.
