gentle ben? never heard of it, will have to google...
there's plenty of wilderness though. and animals. last week dd2 got told off by the neighbour for letting the dogs 'chase the deer'. they weren't chasing the deer, the poor child had let them out of the back door for a pee, and two voluminous labradors bounding down the steps with their legs crossed had startled the deer, which legged it into the woods. the dogs are so thick they hadn't even seen the blardy deer. (and they don't chase anyway. they are terrified of the things, yelp, and run behind you. they are quite big deer. mule deer and elk, fact fans.) we also have bear and cougars and wolves. but i don't like to think about that too much.
not a cabin, though. sorry. 
(there'd be too many spiders for a start). but i do own a red plaid shirt and mukluks and dh wants to buy a canoe, which i am resisting. i suspect one will turn up any day.
righty. have been driving all day. literally. 8 blardy hours. and am knackered and eaty. but i've had a large bowl of salad with cranberries, pear dressing and two poached eggs. the rest of the day was a write off - i had a couple of mouthfulls of melon first thing and got in the car with a cup of tea, and had a bagel at about eleven. so i was starving by 5 and ended up pulling into a gas station and buying one of those small pots of pringles. gah.
and no exercise. sitting on my fat lardy driving arse all day. tis no wonder, really.
tomorrow will be soup (it's largely orange. courtesy of the carrots and squash. but with a reddish tinge from the peppers. it also has swede, because i had some left over. and a few other odds and ends. quite tasty. but i had forgotten that with soup i always want more soup. and then more soup. hints for filling up that don't involve large amounts of bread???)
i'm going to have to make bolognese tomorrow night, but will have no pasta and salad instead. is it wrong to be fantasising about it already?
