….I’m heading up to the cottage for one last long stay

It seems like I haven’t spent very much time at the cottage this summer and the fact is I haven’t compared to previous years. So I’m leaving in the next couple of hours for my paradise up North and as many of you know I don’t have electricity. That of course means that I won’t be posting for awhile.

I will however write articles and save them, paint and take photographs. Hopefully I will have a lot to share when I return next Saturday. If I’m really desperate I could go to the store in the village and pay $5.00 to use the WiFi but I think I may be too busy just laying back and resting up before the school doors open for another year.

Here’s what a typical day at the cottage might look like:

• wake up at 7:30 or there about
• go for a walk or run along the beach with my camera in hand
• make coffee and a ‘wheat free’ breakfast
• spend 20 minutes tidying up and filling the water barrel
• reading the next book for our book club The Head Master’s Wager by Vincent Lam
  
• rake around the cottage
• prepare a salad for lunch and enjoy it
• visit with my neighbour and enjoy a game of scrabble
• experiment with a new recipe that I can prepare on the BBQ (probably from my Wheat Belly Cookbook)
  
• go for a swim
• prepare dinner
• draw in my journal or set up for printing or painting
• do the dishes from the last two meals
• read for a couple more hours
• go to bed around 10:30

That’s pretty much it. I’m really looking forward to a week of healthy eating, walking, swimming, reading and exploring my creative side. See you in a week (maybe sooner).
