Another rubbish weather day. Annoyingly, Meteocat predicted that it would be snowing/cloudy in the mountains as well as here, so we didn’t bother going skiing, but on looking at the webcams it was sunny at Masella all day. We worked and on making a cup of tea, Geoff excitedly shouted me to come down to the kitchen. On the floor was a tiny baby gecko. We’ve rarely seen them in the summer in Castellfollit, never mind in winter. We also have no idea how he got in. I felt terrible turfing him out, but indoors he’ll starve to death, so I scooped him up and put him on the window sill. They’re great climbers, so he’ll find his way down.

And the other news is that I am an aunty to a baby boy. None of us have any experience of those (we’re a family of nearly exclusively female children), but I can’t wait to meet him week after next.

See photos of today.
