Ahoy, the cottage!
It's a long weekend here in Canada, and I took this afternoon off to add to it. I'm catching the train to Belleville later this afternoon t go and join my friends D & R at their cottage for the long weekend. Real downtime!
This is the view from their back deck, where I sit and watch bunnies and birdies and chipmunks and rest my urban eyes on refreshing fractal images instead of rectilinear ones for a few days.
It may look grayer and damper than this, since it's not predicted to be a sunny weekend, but it's still time away, with D feeding me fine stuff (she's chef-trained) and both of them thinking I'm a great guest because I don't expect them to entertain me.
Speaking of decks, my kid sister provided me with these at the Mother's Day get-together.
Yes, the next seven books in the seafaring Aubrey/Maturin series, of which I've already plowed through one and a half since Sunday. I'm tempted to bring several and do nothing but read all weekend, but I'm also mindful of the great expanse of writing time the cottage offers, so I'll be working on the new novel, too. And rewarding myself with virtual turns upon the quarterdeck with Jack and Stephen.
We have all the conveniences up there except internet, so I won't see you peeps on Vox till sometime Monday. Take care!

I hope you have a refreshing, restful weekend, Laurie!
Those books look interesting...I'll have to check into them!
That little quay is just begging to be painted!
Have a great weekend!
