Thought I'd just clarify that as some of you were not aware that Alba is the ancient name for Scotland.
Slange Var (Cheers) !

How I feel today

Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People people
Throw your love around
Love me love me
Take it into town
Happy, happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine....................
Just the beginnings of a song that is in my head today. Thought I'd share it with friends. xx

Bewitched

I have heard a lady this night,
Lissom and jimp and slim,
Calling me - calling me over the heather,
'Neath the beech boughs dusk and dim
I have followed a lady this night,
Followed her far and lone,
Fox and adder and weasel know
The ways that we have gone.
I sit at my supper 'mid honest faces,
And crumble my crust and say
Nought in the long-drawn drawl of the voices
Talking the hours away.
I'll go to my chamber under the gable,
And the moon will lift her light
In at my lattice from over the moorland
Hollow and still and bright.
And I know she will shine on a lady of witchcraft,
Gladness and grief to see,
Who has taken my heart with her nimble fingers,
Calls in my dreams to me:
Who has led me a dance by dell and dingle
My human soul to win,
Made me a changeling to my own, own mother,
A stranger to my kin.

Malazan Book Of The Fallen
Posted at 06/06/2008

For those that read and adore Fantasy novels on a grand scale, this currently 8 book series by Steven Erikson is a modern epic of grand and sweeping scale that almost dwarfs Tolkiens seminal masterpiece and is a must in my opinion.
Having read the opening salvo Gardens of The Moon and am promptly whipping through the books at a decent rate of knots they are very hard to put down.
On Book 4 - House of Chains and still enthralled. Only 4 more books to go but another 2 books being written as we speak.
Masterful and has a real sense of mythic power in all that he writes!
