Cottageing

I had a pleasant day at the cottage today. I did have three attempts on my life however. Three female assasins tried to make my death look like an accident on the road. Or maybe there is some truth to the rumour that women can't drive? Gender aside, I prefer the paid asassin theory. I prefer to think people are actually trying to kill me rather than acknowledge that people that oblivious can be granted permission to operate the steel and glass high speed human killing macines more comonly know as automobiles. But yes, really there are probably three women sitting at home completely oblivious to the fact that if I was not a defensive driver they would have been in a high-speed highway accident today. But I digress.

 I had a pleasant day at the cottage today. Perfect working weather and I got a lot done without working hard. The cottage you ask? Well, looking at my to do list for this year with the Boss out west I think it looks a lot more like puttering than working and so, combined with the comfort afforded by the bunkie I have decided that for 2012 it will be the cottage. And I shall go cotageing as if I well a real Ontarian. Ok, not quite, I still don't have running water, or electricity. Much less cable TV.

 So what did I get done? The Gazebo Unit water collection apparatus, the compost facility and I put an awning on the cottage. And then I cut some brush for fun. Oh and a couple of Robins built a nest on the back wall of the cottage. But I may have scared them off putting up the awning?

Hola amigos!

I know it's been a long time since I rapped at ya but I've have a lot going down. Mostly though I haven't had a home interweb connection so combined with being busy I haven't had much chance to post. It's definitely not a lack of mental wanderings with which to regale you so expect a torrent of posts in the next few weeks. Clear your schedule.

Tonight is my Bee course final exam and I hope I do well since I already bought me my present for passing. Maybe I should have done more studying and less shopping but I didn't. I'm not bring my present back in any case.
