compliments

Making compliments is not yet my forte. Pity really, as it's easy and brightens pretty much anyone's day. They certainly cheer me up.
And in this case also taught me a new term: the gift of the gab
"the ability to speak easily and confidently in a way that makes people want to listen to you and believe you" (Cambridge dictionary).
Thank you, R! :-)

Another one of my favourite (unrelated) compliments:
"Nice top/dress/skirt"
"Thanks, I made it myself"
"REALLY?"
