[/quote][quote=""Susan""]Misfit, I like your picture of Moscow!
Martinique, 1777 with Josephine. This is actually where she was born.
I like hunting down images like this to put in my book progress updates at Goodreads. This painting was a very lucky find.

Misfit, it looks more like a photo than a painting!
Annis, I read the first of these and I know you did too. I'll be interested in your overall impression when you're done.
Me - Having just survived a swordfight and a hand to hand battle with a giant, I've now sat down to wager my life on which one of the two cups I'nm sharing with an enemy is the poisoned one. Great fun!

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
