Enjoying myself. As usual on the first day of my vacation I was awake early. I pottered about until the supermarket opened. The cottage is nice, though at night the thermostat is temperamental. I think it's because of the light sensor; it switches to 15C twenty minutes after it detects it's dark. As with almost all rental cottages (and hotels) I've been in lighting is low and the thermostat is in an even darker corner. Will have to experiment with a flashlight tonight.
The supermarket and other central ammenities are less than 5 minutes by foot, which is nice. There are a lot of birds outside and also a lot of squirels, so I'm going to get some nets of birdfeed tomorrow to put up.
Tomorrow evening my sister will be joining me, until them I'm going to enjoy my alone time. On Thursday we're going to have lunch in the nearby village of Holten and get some things the supermarket on the park doesn't have.
Now I'm trying to decide what a good time is to light the fire and how to actually do that (I've only used parafin blocks until now).
