Yes, yes. I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the back-end and front-end of the company and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, I think it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify.

Hi, and welcome to Sleep Cove, the place to get a great night's sleep. Tonight, I'm reading a story that I've always wanted to read, and it's called Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. It's a renowned classic tale of Britain and it was recently adapted into a film a few years ago. The book I'm reading from is from my private members library I go to and is over 120 years old. check out my social media channels to see this book it's really beautiful and it's actually green itself with some gold inlays it's slightly fallen apart but the library have adapted it to help it keep going it also says that this story was written between 1350 and 1400 AD so I really hope you enjoy it and let's begin The Story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Part 1 The Coming of the Green Knight It was Christmas time at the court of King Arthur, that famous King of Britain, and all was joy in the halls and chambers of the Palace of Camelot.

Lovely ladies and brave knights danced and sang together and had a merry time until the hour of the great feast, which was held to celebrate the new year. To this feast were bidden all the lords and ladies of the court, and the head of whom sat Arthur's queen in a beautiful robe embroidered with gems. Lower down at the same table sat the squires and pages and ladies-in-waiting, when they had done their duty of attending on the wants of their masters and mistresses. One, however, among this gay company, sat at the board with a gloomy face and downcast hair, and this was King Arthur himself. He would not touch food, nor even sit still for long, but walked up and down with restless looks, Presently, he told the reason why.

For years, it had happened that at each new year, one of the knights had performed some marvelous deed. But this year, nothing of the kind had occurred. This vexed the king, and though he joined with his friends in talk, he would not eat nor rest till he had witnessed some strange or noble adventure. Beside his seat on the raised platform, sat his favorite nephew, Sir Gawain, who had lately been made a knight, together with others of his special friends. Still the king would not take his seat. At last, with a great blast of trumpets, the feast was served. Before each pair of guests were set twelve silver dishes containing different kinds of meat beside flagons of wine and beer. But scarcely had they begun to eat when with a crash the hall door was thrown open and a knight on horseback rushed into the room.

He was of immense height with a very broad chest and shoulders and he was clothed entirely in green a richly embroidered green cloak trimmed with fur fell from his shoulders a green hood was thrown back from his hair and bright golden spurs gleamed from his green stockings Even his belt and the stones which shone in it were of the same hue. He sat upon a green saddle, embroidered very beautifully with birds and flies, and the horse upon which he rode was as green as grass. Its hair was decked with golden threads, and its tail bound with a green ribbon.
