Hi, good to see you back on the site! I have lots of sympathy with this. I have not yet reached the level of resisting all upgrades, but I do tend only to replace if it breaks. Perhaps indeed it is an age and experience thing - the only thing...

Hello! Welcome to ABC Tales

Hello! Welcome to ABC Tales - lovely to have you here.

What a lovely story! Glad that it all worked out in the end. I love the idea of having that chant as a ring tone. Currently I have The Beatles' 'Don't Bother Me', which has always seemed appropriate, but you've given me something to think...

I loved that last line. Sometimes there is simply no other way to put it!
I really like the rhythm of your writing - I see that you're a lyricist and the musicality definitely comes through.

This is a lovely piece. We have been reminded recently of how powerful poetry can be at times of national grief. I like the way this reads as a declaration of (all kinds of) faith, a credo for getting through terrible times. Really touches the...
