We went away for the weekend to a hotel made of wood. I saw a bear. I went in a canoe. I did not die. I went to a Buckwheat Pancake festival, and stuffed one with a sausage.
I fulfilled a life-long ambition and saw a beaver (called Carlo) - thanks to a magnificent Beaver Safari, the enjoyment of which was marred only by a ghastly German woman with gigantic teeth running through the undergrowth in incomprehensible trousers.
The French-Canadian veterinary research histopathologist with whom I share my life (and fleas) was coerced into driving action by an ancient trapper in a hat covered in Fleurs-de-Lys.
Trapper: Can you drive a jeep?
Pathologist: Yes.
Trapper: Good. I have 14 Spaniards. I will take them. You will take the Germans and the Canadians.
Here are some photographs. You may like them. You may not. Fingers crossed!

The 'art' is magnificent.
I like them and I'm quite desperately jealous. I want to go on a Beaver Safari.
I liked the one with the water and trees reflected in it very much! Nice to see you back.
WV = bakeesse. Am now thinking even more about cakes...
I am impressed you got the German woman to stop and pose, although she is a bit more monochromatic than I expected.
Also, I think I really, really need to purchase that most excellent painting. Then I need to give it to my sister for Christmas. Then I need to tell her that if she loves me she will hang it over her bed.
I love the art. It's very 70s porn...in fact, isn't that Big John Holmes?

My enjoyment of the sausage stuff pancake was distracted by the injured finger holding it. Have you tried to dismember the SH-CF-CVRH again? Or did you just shut it in a card door?
Dearest Monkey,
Great podcast with an interview with Steve Hackett of the Genesis.

I miss the Non-Working Monkey. Where could she be? Surely not busy working?
