Swallow pride, ask Dad, listen…
I was a teenager, age about 15. I’d learnt to float happily when we regularly visited the beautiful quiet cove at Cwm-yr-eglwys in north Pembrokeshire. But I couldn’t swim.

Posted on Thu, 05 Sep 2024
You subtly show the inadequacy of really trying to 'receate' a person in film-image and real-time AI-generated dialogue, and his confused unease, leaving the reader to contemplate how unreal any further contact with such a 'hologram' would be....

So sorry you are going
Posted on Tue, 03 Sep 2024
So sorry you are going through such a time, Jenny. A bit like a tunnel in itself. I know what being confined is like, and some difficult pain-pressures, but not like you are enduring at present. I suppose pain relief maybe brings a little easing...

He's reluctant to open the message, but then to open the link. That latter is what is dangerous, isn't it (as I've often been told!). So there's no danger to opening the message? Did he? And then hover over whether to click on the link, because...

Posted on Wed, 28 Aug 2024
So many memories there to be touched and remembered together and talked of, and still the delight of doing so together whatever ups and downs they had gone through together down the many years. Rhiannon

Posted on Fri, 16 Aug 2024
It certainly had a shape and completeness though stirring the thoughts of 'could it have been otherwise' and 'what brought it all about'. I think what was most shocking, but realistic, was the confession that he had deliberately provoked their...

I seem to have missed this before. You always write smoothly. I still think that the intrigue of claimed mysterious sightings, whether trickery, imagination or real are a distraction from investigating the mysteries of life whose sollutions have...
