Quick update.

Signed for the house yesterday, and the Notaire reckons (with a Gallic shrug) that we might be in by the end of November.

Better tell work I'm not coming back...

Hands are killing me: spent the weekend pulling up weeds, shovelling woodchip and bending wire at some friends place. Was rewarded by fantastic food and wine. Perfect! Wish I'd got a photo of K covered in mud and looking very pleased, but didn't.
