Yesterday was nice. First of all, I did not have to get up and go to work. Mao let me sleep in until 6:50. I made brownies in the morning. Yummy! At about 1:00 I went outside and cleared branches from the yard, pulled up the dead eggplants from the garden and moved the geraniums and pepper plant to the front entryway to protect them from the possible frost last night. After I came back in I baked a packaged Apple Brown Betty. It was OK, but could have been a lot better had it been entirely homemade. For supper we had baked Acorn Squash, always a favorite.
We watched Survivorman. It is quite interesting because he is left all alone for seven days in a remote area and he has to film the show on his own, no camera man. He was in a remote area of Northern Ontario. They brought in an old plane wreck by helicopter, so he had that for temporary shelter. He also had wool clothing, an all-in-one tool, a hatchet, a wool blanket and a wire saw (the saw broke the first time he used it). For awhile he tried to act as though he was surviving an actual plane crash with an injured arm. He put one good arm in a sling, so he could not use it. After a few rough days, he got tired of using only one arm and decided to just concentrate on surviving. If you have never seen it, you should check it out sometime on the Science Channel.
