Sa Majesté Louis Catorze, Le Roi Soleil, supreme ruler of Le Château, sworn enemy of canine foe and scourge of Ocado delivery drivers.

Le portrait ressemble au modèle 

I managed to capture an uncharacteristically wistful Louis Catorze for his Official Yuletide* Portrait, which is very appropriate as the winter solstice is a time for calm reflection. It’s not often that we experience this feeling here at La Château, so we will gladly accept it despite it being highly misleading:

Appearing to be deep in thought. Trust me, he isn’t.

*I had originally called it his Official Winter Solstice Portrait but, when it became doubtful as to whether he would deliver on time, I changed it to Official Yuletide Portrait. “Yuletide” feels like a whole season, which absolves me/Catorze of the responsibility of being on time.

We will monitor the portrait closely, and let you know if it ages and deteriorates.

    Indeed, to put it in the vernacular, Catorze IS “a whole season.”

      Catorze says, “Merci, mon gars! Has the new recruit been successfully initiated? If so, the 3am plan is still on.”

        Understood! What the young Recruit lacks in experience, he certainly makes up for in bouncy, pouncy enthusiasm. We await your instructions. Purrs, DV

      Little sod, as always. And, naturellement, since this photo was taken, he’s produced a few better ones. 🙄

    M –

    Yuletide as a season is so appropriate and I hate time tables, too. That’s a beautiful photo of Le Roi.

      Merci! He’s been a right little shit since the solstice so I’m a bit worried about what this year will be like!

      Yuletide joy to you, too! Catorze snapped out of this wistful moment pretty rapidly and is now back to being naughty. 😐
