Had a shocker this week. Just 5.5. I've been on leave and not really paying attention. But still...

Snap. Although it was the airline strike that did for me.

I'm a straight man in my early 50s and I'm not at all embarrassed by loving the music of Taylor, Kylie, Dua, Sabrina, Chappell and their like.
