We were called this evening by our letting agents. They have found some potential tenants. This is not the first time that people have expressed interest, but it's the first deposit we've seen. Well, OK, we haven't actually seen it, what with cheques being practically invisible at 10,000 miles.

We were at a restaurant when they called (yes, it is also a notable local purveyor of beer - thanks for asking). This led to some frenzied telecoms stuff. Rather than go straight home, we used our google-fu to look up our mortgage lender's phone number, phoned them to confirm their terms and conditions, and then called the letting agent back. How people did this sort of thing 20 years ago is a mystery.

Nothing is certain until the lease is signed, but it's encouraging.

Later, we played the deer shooting game again. Afterwards, the microscopic remains of my ego were handed back to me in a small gift-wrapped container.
