Some fairly unique lyrics from a song today. First one to get the right answer wins a prize. First one to get the right answer by actually knowing the song (and not by searching on the old Interweb) gets a bonus prize.

It wasn’t a very nice day today, weather-wise. Bitterly cold, strong winds, a bit of snow (yay! but not ‘sticking’ snow), hail, rain, and generally yucky weather. The boat was rather rough on the way back.

Got through all that history homework Mr Ewing set us… rather a lot of it. Still got some French to do for Monday though, I think… that Monday French lesson is quite annoying, as we have a different teacher for it who we only see once a week, and sometimes stuff gets forgotten about. 🙁

Going down to Edinburgh on Monday night – well, Monday night down to Inverness, Tuesday to Edinburgh, for a Young Enterprise conference, which might be interesting. Then back that night to Inverness, and back to Orkney on the Wednesday.

Currently listening to The Emperor Arrives, The Death Of Yoda, Obi-Wan’s Revelation from the Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi soundtrack. A very nice piece. 🙂

Anyway, that’s today’s ramblings over and done with. Ta ta for now.

1. The lyrics seem to be May It Be by Enya – got this from Google. I haven’t actually clicked on any lyrics sites as last time I went on one I got SEVEN popups in a row (we’d just got broadband, but we do now have a popup blocker!)

2. Yes, you would be correct. Bonus points for the English translation. 😉

3. “Darkness has come, darkness has fallen”. Interesting formation of perfect tense using prefix as well as suffix (I really need to get out more) Think I’d better stop reading the ‘Quenya Course’ now as I’m starting to feel a bit dizzy!
