Sunday Afternoons on Thursday
Sep. 3rd, 2010 08:26 amSo, yesterday, between the rains, I went for a drive. I don't usually do this because it burns gas and that's both expensive and bad for the environment. But yesterday I just needed to get out of a cottage empty for the first time in weeks. Go figure.
I drove around Lake Rosseau. I've never done that before, as it's not on the way to anything, but I figured why not? Off I went. There weren't many cars about yesterday (weather, Thursday, etc.) and I only had one ass behind me on my tailgate, and then only at the end of it near Winderemere. It was a pleasant drive, until I ran out of paved road south of Ullswater. Then it was a bit less fun, because my car doesn't do washboard all that well. Still, it was manageable (not like I was going to turn around!)
I went around a turn on 141, or it could have been 24 south of Ullswater, I honestly don't remember, and found the best view in the world. I watch Top Gear a lot and they talk about the best driving roads in the world. Well, this wasn't the best road, not anywhere near, but this view was spectacular. The people who live on that turn may be the luckiest in Muskoka. I didn't realise places like that existed outside Italy!
I'm slowly making my way through City of Seven Walls as an audio, having read it once a long time ago. I think it's more enjoyable to listen to, though there's some really awkward moments 'on tape' that maybe work better on 'paper'. Still, I enjoy a good SGA every now and then. Only one chapter left to go! It has a good tone to it, and that makes for peaceful and slow driving, unlike most of the music I listen to which makes me want to go fast!
Today, it's off to the museum, probably for the last time. Home next Wednesday, it looks like!
