I can be quite talkative if I like the subject being discussed and I have some knowledge about it, otherwise, I prefer to listen. Here is my take – https://amanpan.blog/2021/05/11/delayed-forecast/

I could talk and demonstrate nautical carving easily, talk about the horticultural traditions of Italian gardeners, or BS a lot about being an anthropologist. References are available from H.I.M Xenia my cat and booking agent ( 25% fee she says it’s reasonable).

We can usually talk impromptu about ourselves – what we like, don’t like, what drives us. If we don’t like someone, why they hurt OUR sensibilities.
