The End of the Tale

This little fella has taken up residence in our downstairs bathroom. There's no heating in there, so he's quite sluggish. Also no flies so I imagine he's quite hungry. At some point I will take him outside and suggest to him that he'd be happier wintering under the decking by the barbecue - warm and dry with more chance of passing invertebrates. Perhaps his tail will grow back.

One particular tale ended today with a visit to the notaire's office to sign the sale contract. With everything crossed, that's it done. Subject to the buyers pulling out in their 7 day cooling off period, or at any other point on a whim, the house is sold. We will no doubt open some fizz, but after all the heartache, and with many hurdles still to overcome with our local Mairie, it feels a little underwhelming. More a feeling of relief than of celebration.

Raining all day today.

EDIT: backblipped a different kind of portrait for yesterday
