What it did not have:
- a connection to the water main, ergo
- a loo that flushed (instead, my monkeyparts were refreshed by external breezes)
- a shower, etc
- the internet
- a telephone
None of these mattered one jot.
What it did have:
- electricity
- a massive wood-burning stove
- many old magazines
- Leonard Cohen (not in person obv)
- excellent friends down a track ("...and then a WEASEL popped out of the La-Z-Boy!")
Here are some photosnaps:

| The cabin. Many people think all of Canadia looks like this. They are (very) slightly correct. |
 |
| Detail of the print on a single pillowcase. Skating cats! I ask you. I dream of it. |
 |
| Gaping Bavarian shaving mug. Terrifying. $35. I did not buy it. |
 |
| "Deceptively Simple", priced at a deceptively optimistic $695 |
 |
| You couldn't make it up. |
 |
| The famous prehistoric stone circle of the Cantons de L'Est |
 |
| Do you know what this is? We thought it was a propeller. It is not a wing, we don't think. |
It was, 'ow you say, "awesome". Yesterday, we went to Abercorn, bought delicious bread and had lunch with our excellent friends and some people we had not met before, but liked very much. They had dogs. I like dogs. (I will be writing more about this in the week; if we do not get a dog soon I may die soon, on the floor, in a heap.)
In other news, I will wait until tomorrow to announce the winner of Friday's Caption Competition. In other words, it is not too late to be a "have-a-go-hero" yourself.

UPDATE: My friend and conspirator Asta IMMEDIATELY spotted that the thing is the blade of a wind turbine. I am not joking when I say it is fucking massive. Massive. I was scared, but then I have a thing about a) crustaceans with antennae and wavy legs; b) gigantic industrial machinery/constructions.

Please tell me you bought the Veterinary book.

I also recognized the turbine bit. They seem to take them out for road trips a great deal around here (when I say around here I mean quite a bit south of here actually. And when I say a great deal I mean that over a year ago when I was [unhappily] driving south of here, there were several ginormous bits being driven along in a convoy. Other than that, this statement is entirely factual).
I think the author of the Vet book should be treated kindly - being named Bud Ings probably causes one to perpetrate horrific acts of punning without even being aware of it.
Am so in awe of cabin in the woods. Lucky you. If you got a dog, what would Corndog do?
Alison - No, didn't buy the book.
Ragged Thread - Corndog would be fine - we'd get a puppy & if she wasn't we'd put her out in the snow to live off her bumfat.
You are also all clearly masters of technology with your ability to identify gigantic constructions at 10 paces.
