I don't just mean brand new artists , but singers and bands who might've been around for years and I've never noticed.   I love this <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Lol! .. so other women feel embarrassed sometimes too?    I had another parcel delivered today from a very jolly delivery lady.  My parcel wasn't anything exciting I'm afraid  ... it was just 2 special brushes for cleaning behind radiators, how boring. Are all your stores still thriving?  some of our high streets are looking dull these days, a lot of independent shops have sadly closed.Do you have open-air markets locally?   I love a good market.Thank you DFF.   I was unbelievably emotional  and deeply  touched when I saw the tributes from  around the world, it meant so much that countries like yours were appreciative of our late Queen.    As sad as that time was, I think it brought a lot of the world together.  And like you say ... it was special how  our two countries showed solidarity. So are you my friend <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />als:</blockquote>
