Get Me Big Mac, Fries to Go

Do I need to take my computer to the cottage? There's no internet, but there are a few hotspots in town I could use. Will I live with just my iPhone, pen and paper? It's huge and heavy, but I could watch DVDs without interference. And I have my music, and somewhere to write. I think it is coming with me. But then I'll have to find some smart way to pack it.

All this leads up to us leaving for the cottage today (we're already late, though it's not my fault for once). Summer holidays, so I'll be gone approximately three weeks. Swimming, wine, reading and long walks with the dog monster. One of my favourite things is swimming just before bed: running down, dropping my robe and diving in naked. It doesn't compare to anything. I'm taking Karenina, DeLillo's Underworld and Bolaño's Savage Detectives with me.

See you in three weeks! (Or perhaps earlier, if I go mad with cabin fever.)
