GREENMANTLE by Charles de Lint

The weekend was nice and hot. Too hot to do anything else but relax in the garden and read in the shadows of the enormous trees of my home-town park.

Finished reading "Greenmantle" by Charles de Lint. This is a novel that Charles wrote a long time ago but I hadn't managed to read yet. It's a wonderful story with the usual mix of brutal realism and ancient forest magic. A very sweet love story as well. A book to treaure for ever.
I started reading his other work "Someplace to be Flying" now. Again a tale from that magickal
city where magic flows into the lives of ordinary people.

Anyway, I'm back in the office where the work is piled high and the Airco is on the highest setting. So, work now...

Listening to Juanes to go with the tropical weather that hits Brussels. My new Iaito has arrived from Great-Brittain and it looks and feels wonderful. This should motivate me to do some more training.
