a nice little quiet cottage in the middle of nowhere with electricity too!
So i took a wrong turn somewhere in the darkness and found myself driving kind of aimlessly down winding roads i recognised less than the roads i was supposed to be driving that i might not recognise anyway. In any case, a little while ago i found a cottage and i figured i'd stop and ask for directions there but as it turns out no-one is here and i know it's probably rude to stay at a person's place without their permission, but it's raining way heavy outside so i figure if i don't eat any of their food supplies or do anything really stupid then hopefully they shouldn't mind too much.
...
Actually, i'm beginning to wonder if anyone lives here at all, what with all the dust and the lack of any food anywhere and the not working water. It's a wonder there's still electricity actually, but once ages ago one of my uncles said that he'd gotten electricity somewhere then never paid his bills and somehow he slipped through and got his electricity for free so long as he didn't use so much that he drew attention to himself. Actually, he was a paranoid guy and so he used candles all the time anyway and never opened the curtains in his house and only watched television between the hours of 2:30am and 6:30am because he thought that saved power.
Maybe this house is a bit like that?
Ah, at least it is nice to be isolated for a little while, with just me and the rain and my thoughts spilling out onto this here blog which maybe some people read everynow and again and for whom i am very grateful. It is nice to be able to sit around and not worry about anything, even the small things because if only for the one night, i am going to sleep like a log and wake whenever i feel like it and then try and make my way back out onto the main road.
Even blakes need a little bit of time by themselves to gather their thoughts and meditate on everything and nothing at the same time. I'm not sure exactly what that means but a zen monk said it once and it stuck with me because it sounded profound but seemed simple and maybe even a little silly. He was a really cool guy actually, that monk. I can't remember what happened to him all those years ago.
I hope he is well though.
Blake out.

Enjoy some rest, you deserve it Blake!
Does this cottage have a fire place? if it does, and you can get your hands on some marshmellows, well, nothing more to say really.
