Thanks much..shade amount and reading a bit has formed a very recent (today/yesterday...move em'!) reconsideration with many i've had left to the new blazing sun.
Shade up..made me think of this book..
...."It was unlikely, for folk do not like to venture into the night when things of horror stalk the earth. Hild clutched at her crucifix, but I was comfortable in the dark. From the time I was a small child I had taught myself to love the night. I was a sceadugengan, a shadow-walker, one of the creatures other men feared.
I waited a long time until I was certain no one else was on the low ridge, then I drew Wasp-Sting, my short-sword, and I cut out a square of turf that I laid to one side. Then I dug into the ground, piling the soil onto my cloak."...
The Lords of the North, Bernard Cornwell
