Dear me, I do hope my body will not do anything stupid this Saturday. This weekend, it pretty much thought, "Yay, weekend, let's have a holiday", which had me bundled up in a blanket throughout most of Saturday and Sunday. My head was up to nothing, I was even listless enough to not feel like drawing, let alone translating bits for Tibetan ( Read more... )

Hee! Not to worry - the images endure. That's the point of art, innit :D

For the record, an enlarged version of your Chairman and his patrician is currently serving as both my desktop and phone wallpaper ~cue lots of ohhs and ahhs from all who observe it~ The richness of the colour, and the superb drape of Vetinari's robe, look a treat on a 22 inch screen :-)

All I can give you by way of thanks is a sneak preview of the Hogswatch (or Hogswitch) carol by Weird Alice Lancrevic that's going out in the December issue of WOSSNAME next week. Enjoy ;-)

WE THREE HAGS: ANE HOGSWATCHE CAROL

NANNY, GRANNY AND MAGRAT:
We three Hags Lancrastian are
Straddling brooms, we travel afar
Hearth and privy, pub and smithy
Casting our spells bizarre

Ohh...
Stars of Lancre, stern in black
Dames in regal pointy hats
Hubwards breezing, nethers freezing
Witches three who've got the knack

VERENCE:
Born a Fool, yet destined to reign
Never cruel though sometimes a pain
King well-meaning -- New Age-leaning
Sensible, in the main

Ohh...
Star of Lancre, staunch and meek
Castle sanitation geek
Bells a-clinking, forward-thinking
Modernise your farm techniques

MAGRAT:
Frank but senseless, soppy am I
Wrinkled gowns and head in the sky
Sweet tomfool'ry, occult jewellery
"Wet as a hen," they sigh

Ohh...
Star of Lancre, star-crossed Queen
Star of herbal research scene
Keen defender, nappy-mender
Keeping Ynci's armour clean

NANNY:
Scumble mine, 'tis boozy perfume
Breath like fire can clear a big room
Girlish in spirit, bawling lyrics
Bawdy and rude -- boom-boom!

Ohh...
Star of Lancre, super-Gran
Head of matriarchal clan
Crude and chummy, Greebo's Mummy
Who can fix things? Nanny can!

GRANNY:
Hogswatch parties? Sausages fat?
Ha! I can't be having with that!
Bees I'll borrow near and far, so
I can patrol my patch

ALL:
Ohh...
Stars of Lancre, wyrd and wise
We've no need to advertise
Maiden, mother, and the... other
Guarding all 'neath Lancre's skies
