We went to look at another piano this afternoon, this time in Nice on the far side of the port. It was listed by a lovely couple; his mother-in-law had just died 2 days ago at the age of 98. She was a pianist and played up until 2 years ago.
It turns out that the couple are both archeologists, and they are friends with another archeologist who is a good friend & colleague of Eric's! Small world indeed.
I think we're going to buy the piano. They told us that they've had lots of inquiries since they listed it last night, but that they would prefer to sell it to a family who will appreciate and use it. We're meeting with a piano restorer this week because the finish is damaged and it could use a face lift. But the interior is in great shape and the strings and other parts were redone about 15 years ago.
What else? I just finished yet another big project--breech for first responders. I have some captions to clean up but otherwise it's done!
I got Eric's visa renewal off today. Now we wait...
