Sorry don’t know why WordPress asked for confirmation of the comment 🙂
Maybe WordPress didn’t like ‘Love in Damascus’ and tried to censor me
Nope! If this is your first comment in my blog then it needed autorisation! For the first time in the history of AvatVision I will say that Love in Damascus is my favorite song here and it was my initial internal choice! 🙂
Is it just me or is there a perfect equality right now? 😮
