Aye!

I've been bloody wrung and beaten, I tell ya!

And he's fixin' to further render me!

That rascal deGroot - Eee's always watching, and waiting - toiling away at 'is
infernal schemes, I tell ya.  It's black magic, it is - forever pounding "keys"
to craft his dark "code" - to _shoot rays_!   No good came come of it!





But 'is landscapes, aye - they bring a calm an' beauty to the eye that make me
screen seem like it's been brushed by the wings of angels.



Nice work, as always, Thomas.  :)   Looking forward to seeing your additions and
improvements.

I presume "drakkar" is the boat?  I can't find the word in any 
dictionary, and a Web search turns up nothing but perfume ads.

The proper English term is 'longship' indeed. However, see 'Drakkar' in:

I'll buy you a shot of your favourite fire water to amend. That should 
be enough sorcery for you now I suppose. :-)

I don't think this land is their Valhalla, but that drakkar might be leaving to
find it.
The fog is nicely laid out.

Cheers
Ton.

Initially, the Vikings where traders. It's just after they realized how 
bad things where in the rest of the world that they started raiding. It 
was often easier to just raid a place and take what they wanted or 
needed than to conduct business.
