Hello and welcome to Jason Newland dot com. My name is Jason Newland, this is Bertie, going to sleep, please only listen. When you can safely close your eyes, because, um, well basically, you know, did you need to explain that? Okay, if you need to explain, if you need me to explain to you why you should only listen to a sleep recording, when you can safely close your eyes, and I advise you turn the recording off, and, um, I don't know, just do something else, yeah, it's just for safety reasons.

I've been saying it for, what, 15 years, it's boring now, I don't want to say it anymore.

When you can safely close your eyes, um, anyway, hi, hello everybody, it's been a weird few days for me, let me see what the last recording I, I released was, um, it was the boy you just sleep on the 10th of July, so it's now the 12th, it's only two days, it's the 12th of July, I shouldn't call it boy you just sleep because there is actually a podcast called that, this is, Let Me Bore You To Sleep, way better than all the others, and this of course, um, it's not, yeah, I got a few

messages I should read out at the beginning of the recording so that you, you know, can listen to them before I, you know, before you drift, drift into a soft, gentle, peaceful sleep.

That's one in the morning and I'll be in bed all day pretty much, that was it, that was the whole story, so let me have a look, let's see if I've got any messages, I've got no messages, oh, okay, I didn't even see this, wow, okay, so this is from Per in Sweden, I didn't even see this message until just now, it was sent from my website, hi Jason, just wanted to thank you for the relaxation technique that you taught on the podcast, good stuff, also I like your style, all the best to you, regards

Per in Sweden, thank you Per, that's very kind of you, thank you, um, I agree with you, I am very stylish, aren't I, something, yeah, it's almost like a, it's beyond fashion, isn't it, something deeper and like a fashion that will never go out of fashion, it's just something that, it's just, it's something, you know, something that's never, it's always going to be around, you know, bigotry and hatred, no, but you know, you know, I mean, style is, there's a special kind of style that I have, I'm just agreeing, you know, it's not my words,

ask Per, it's what Per said, not me, yeah, I agree, thank you, I mean, um, yeah, I mean, sometimes I do wake up and I think, wow, is it really me, what other words have I got, Becca, still not replied to you yet, um, but well, I just haven't felt very well the last couple of days, so, other messages, Facebook, let me have a look on Facebook, or let me have a look on, uh, well, I've got a couple of messages here on Facebook, so this is, hey, this is from Vanessa, did you have a

good day today, I guess I should ask if you had a good day yesterday, yeah, Vanessa, I think, okay, yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, no, thank you, yeah, I was interested in how I did today, what about yesterday, what about tomorrow, um, so I hope you love Vanessa, I just said groovy, thanks, my moustache is tickling my beard, no, it's not tickling my beard, that's a weird sentence, my moustache is tickling my nose, I haven't got one of those moustaches where all the nose hairs just joins together in moustache, you know, it's

very separate, the nose hairs are just sticking out, poking people in the eyes, knock people over in the streets, especially if, no, I don't want to talk about, no, so as you said to me recently, we've mentioned your bum a lot, you've got a big juicy bum, I'll tell you how big my bum is, my bum is so big that when I sit down on the floor, I bang my head on the ceiling, seriously, that's how huge my bum is, you still want to love me, you still, you still, Messi, Messi sent me a message,

hello there, there's a lady here in a nurse's uniform, and I've got to be careful here because sometimes I've got in trouble before, and I said, well, you're clearly not really a nurse, are you?

And they said, well, actually, I am a nurse, I've got three mutual friends with this person, so Melissa Kane, so hello, it's just I've had quite, I've had, if you've been around as long as I have on Facebook, and I'm sure there's plenty of people listening to this that have been on Facebook from the beginning, and I'm one of those, I've had people and I still regularly have women or profiles of, I don't know if it's a woman or a man, it could be who's doing it, but it's a picture of a woman adding me,

like requesting me to add them to my friends list, so I just do, I pretty much do this to everyone, unless I don't have a picture, there's no picture, I don't add them, at the very least have a picture, you can't, otherwise what's going on?

Generally, but it's, I don't know, I think it's from the past when people used to have profiles without pictures, they usually were dodgy, really dodgy, doesn't mean that that's the case now, but I remember I had this woman, she joined, asked to join me on my Facebook page, this was years ago, maybe 10 years ago, and she was like a, you know, just really like an obvious, obviously not someone that would want to be friends with me in the sense of, why would she just add me?

And she had pictures of herself in swimming costumes, and I thought, oh, this is just another scam, because I've had a lot of them, where people add someone, and then they said, how are you, are you all right?

And they try and get you into conversation, and then before you know it, they're saying, oh, can you send me money, so that I can come and visit you on a plane? But someone said they needed money, because they wanted to buy a new phone, so they could talk to me.

So there's, anyway, so I've, I'm talking hundreds of these types of profiles over the years, so I kind of, I suppose I got a little bit hard to them, hardened, but in a, in a weird, different way. And I remember I said to this profile person that, are you a real person, or are you just a scammer? And she got really upset with me. And so I'm a real human being, just because I'm attractive.

I didn't say anything about being attractive, it's just the fact that she was practically naked in all of the pictures. I wasn't complaining, I'm just saying, usually profiles like that are, you look at them, and you look at them, the friends list, and it's predominantly men, that they just randomly added, hoping to get some money out of them. But she got upset, so that's, that's what I thought, oh, so I need to be careful, but I don't know, someone just adds me, says, hello there.

I don't know what to say to them, really. I don't know what, I don't know what to say. What do I say? Yeah, hi.

So tell me about yourself. No, listen to my podcast if you want to know about me. Don't get into not telling me about yourself.

What? Why? This is my time when I talk about myself. I don't do it any other time. There's another person, Edom.

Hey there, how are you? And I just said, hi, just wondering why you added me. Still not replied. No, Alexis, what's that profile page? Profile.

The page you requested cannot be displayed at the moment and may be temporary unavailable. In other words, it's not a real person. Possibly, might be.

But Jason, this could be your future wife. Yeah. And what other ones have I got? So 23rd, was it July now, isn't it? So Messy Messy said hello there.

So hi, Messy Messy. Is your first name really the same as your second name? They liked you so much, they named you twice. Rachel sent me a message.

Okay, hope you're feeling better. By the way, I only read messages out that aren't personal. So just let you know that I'm not going to read anything that's personal.

Hope you're feeling better and got on your ship, all your shopping arrived today. And I hope that your piles have healed. I didn't mention my piles, did I? Well, that was in a private message.

Brilliant, thanks. Now everybody knows that I've got piles. This is going to be the title of this recording.

The hemorrhoid, the hemorrhoid announcement came out of the hemorrhoid closet. Doesn't say that. It says, hope you're shopping arrived.

Well, it's lovely. It's lovely to treat yourself when you can. I'm having a nice pizza tonight.

And I said, thanks, I'm cooking pizza right now. Yummy. Kiss, kiss, kiss.

I should write something else. I just did a thumb up sign. It's easier than typing.

But yeah, hi Rachel, I hope you're okay. And yeah, my shopping came through. It's the first delivery I had since March.

I posted a tiny little 37 second video on Facebook of the bags of shopping and Andre exploring one bag and then he just ran off. He wasn't interested. Which is weird because normally he'd be over everything.

I think it's when I'm, when I film him, he doesn't like it for some reason. Become self conscious. Yeah.

So yeah, I had the delivery at seven. And it was actually here about four or five minutes to seven. He was the delivery person outside.

I'm delivering it. I'm delivering it. I'm packing it.

I'm unloading it. I was worried because I was hoping he didn't drop his load because because it's so early in the morning. I didn't want to wake everyone to be woken up.

But seemed to be okay. And he delivered it all in one go. So I thought it was going to come without bags, but it didn't didn't come in a bag.

It came in a bag rather, or different bits. So I decided I was going to like bend over and pick every single one up every item. But it didn't.

And I was just chatting to him. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to give him a tip. You know, I was waiting for him to say thank you.

Neither of which happened. No, I did. I said thank you.

And I've got stuff to tell you about deliveries. Oh, man. Oh, deliveries.

Deliveries. Seriously. Doing the editing.

Anyway, I so I've got the stuff come in. I was watching on TV. So I woke up.

I don't wake up. I woke up at six. Because I went to bed a couple of hours.

I was up most of the night. Went to bed for a couple of hours and I got up in time to, you know, so I was ready. I didn't want to be woken up by the delivery man or woman.

And so I'd rather admittedly, I don't look that much different now when I'm awake to how I do when I've just woken up because my hair is messy. It's getting curly skin. It's really I mean my hair, I know no one's going to believe it because I've never I thought it really is a few videos of me with longer hair when it grows and gets curly but no one has ever sort of listened to me or watched me has seen me with really, really curly hair.

And it really gets curly. My hair is like a beard. Not not texture wise.

This would be a bit wiry only. But my hair that kind of very curly. Also, I'm ginger, I don't know if you realized.

And I'm not ginger ginger, like, you know, completely ginger. But in my beard, you can see I tell people can my beards really getting big now. And Andre actually, he comes over to cuddle up to my beard.

That's my beard. And he thought I got a new ferret. But you know, I had to sort of explain to him that it's just my beard.

So why doesn't have a ferret running around and stuff was always attached to your chin. I said you little monkey you are, you know, it's not a ferret. He giggled and ran off.

So I did. So I looked in the mirror last night, or this morning or sometime doesn't really matter. You're not going to know if it's true or not anyway.

I might never have looked in the mirror. And trust me, if you look at me right now, you wouldn't be able to judge whether or not I'd ever looked into the mirror. So that looked like I've ever looked into the mirror.

Because if I did, why am I looking the way I look? If you know what I mean? And I was looking at my beard. And this is probably the longest I've ever had it. Yeah, I'd say it's probably, I've had it as long as this before, but not for quite a while.

And the last time I had a beard this long was a couple of years ago. But I would say this is probably the longest beard. I've never had it longer than this in my life, I don't think.

And it's still growing. And I'm going to let it grow. That's what I'm planning to do.

I'm going to let it grow. And I'm planning on letting my hair grow as well. It's pretty weird like it's like I'm going to let it grow, but I don't have to let it grow, it just grows.

You know, it's like, it doesn't take any willpower. So I'm just going to allow, I'm just going to not cut my hair. That's the best way to word it, isn't it? I'm going to let my hair grow.

I'm not letting it grow. It's growing. You're not letting the weather or letting it rain.

It's raining. It's just happening. Isn't it? So you can take a little bit of control over it, but it's like a fart, isn't it? It's going to come out anyway.

You might be able to hold it in for a while. Hopefully, the duration of the meal in the restaurant. I haven't been in restaurants for ages.

The duration of the funeral. So I looked in the mirror and my beard, I was looking at the grey bits because I've got these bits on the side. Okay, you got my chin.

So there's something I'm just going to say. So imagine you got my lips, my lower lip in the middle bit. And then moving kind of, actually no, moving to the sides of each of my lips.

I'm talking about my face. Why am I saying my face and lips? I don't know. I was really sad when I'm talking about my cheeks.

And if you go down from either corner of my lips, that's kind of where the grey bits are. Proper bushy, grey, like a fox's tail, seriously. But, but, but, but, but, I was looking at it.

And next to them, a little bit, you can see I've got ginger, proper full on ginger hairs. They aren't as noticeable when my hair, when my beard's short. But as it's getting longer, the ginger's really prevalent.

The grey stands out more because that part of my face looks about 90, apparently. Ginger bits. I like that.

I like ginger. Some people are just gingerist, gingerist, got issues, you know, like make fun of ginger people and stuff. I really like ginger.

And probably because it's in my genes. I mean, literally. I mean, like ginger.

And my, I've talked about this before, I've got family members that are ginger. I've got two cousins. I think three cousins have got ginger children.

And my nan's brother was ginger. But I never met him when he was ginger. He was grey, because he was 600 years old when I met him.

But he was ginger when he was younger. And I'm pretty sure my dad had a ginger beard when he was younger as well. I have to ask him.

I remember he had a big, big, bigger than mine. Everything, beard I'm talking about, his beard was bigger. And he was a bit like Grizzly Adams.

If you're old enough, if you're not old enough to know who Grizzly Adams is, Google it or go on YouTube. He was this beautiful, big, strong man. He was actually hairier than the bear that he used to spend time with.

Honestly, he was hairier than the bear that he lived with in a relationship. I remember saying to him once, which one is the female? And he said, that's actually prejudiced, homophobic. I said, well, no, not really.

He said, did you say that to two men, or two women? Or which one's the man, which one's a woman? I said, yeah, but you're different species. He said, that makes no difference. It's not about a man and a woman.

It's about love. I said, that one. Which one takes out the bum? Nothing.

I said, which one? Which one? It's like, it's a bear. It's a bear. He says, yeah, I know it's a bear.

Do you think? I don't know it's a bear. Oh, I thought it was a duck. Oh, it's a bear.

Of course I know it's a bear. What do you think they call him, Grizzly Adams? Grizzly bears. Wow, I didn't actually think about that.

So you were named Grizzly as a baby. How did they know that you were going to have a fetish for bears? Who? Your parents. They called you Grizzly.

Is this not actually my real name? Oh, this is a nickname, is it? Yeah. Why Grizzly? What do you think? Now what I mean, okay, you live with a Grizzly bear. You're in a relationship with a Grizzly bear.

Surely there'd be better nicknames for you. Like Biff, you know, Shaggle. I'm just, I don't know, I just, he said, you're just rude.

This is about love. It's not about, it's not sordid. It's about love, interspecies love.

It's, I said, yeah, but it's illegal. He said, listen, you're in the mountains and there's no one around. I said, yeah.

He said, yeah, I was wondering, what's it like? I said, what do you mean, what's it like? You live in the mountains, don't you? He said, no. I said, what? He said, I'm an actor. I don't live in the mountains.

That's just a part I play. So you don't live with a bear? He said, oh yeah, I live with a bear. I had to have her teeth removed.

Oh my God, what's going on? So yeah, I, yeah, he had a big beard. He had a big beard. My dad had a big beard.

He wasn't into bears, obviously. He used to have a goat. So I, yeah, I had my delivery.

Yeah, got ginger hairs in the beard. That's the only reason I mentioned it. But I was excited because I had a beard pretty much all through my twenties.

And apart from when I was a security guard, I had to keep shaving for that. And then, yeah, the late 90s, oh, did I say 80s? I meant 90s, 80s. I was, I was a kid, the 90s.

And the late 90s, I used to shave once a week. So I'd, I'd shave on a Friday night before going out. And then I wouldn't shave again until the following Friday.

But because there was pretty much grown a beard between then and then. It did, I used to have to really soak my face. I think I used to use like a really hot towel and try and make all the bristles of my face nice and soft.

And then I put the, the shaving foam onto my face and I just let it kind of soak in. And I put another lot on. I just, I'd do it to the point where I could shave.

And it was just, it just came off so easily. It's a bit like soaking your feet before cutting your toenails. I find it's a lot easier.

So if you, if your feet, if your tight feet have been in the water for, it doesn't have to be that long, like 10 minutes or something, they're easier to cut. So that's what I do with my toenails, what I do with my feet. Thing is, as I got older, it's harder to find a swimming pool that will allow me in to keep moving around.

Actually, there's a campsite, I think that's got a swimming pool. Yeah, I don't think it's open yet. My toenails, they're getting me started.

I used to have problems with my toes. I mean, they wouldn't steal the car and go and get drunk and stuff like that. I'm just, they used to be, I used to have ingrown toenails when I was late teen, well, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

Yeah, I haven't had it for years and years and years, but occasionally it flares up just a little bit. I think the secret with it is to make sure your toes, you don't cut your toenails too short. They have to be above the, not the phlegm level, what's the, is it the wick? The wick, yeah.

I actually had half my toenail removed when I was about 17 or 18. I didn't have to have it removed, but it got me an afternoon off work, so it was worth it. But it grew back.

That's why when I had that dog bite in the dock, I was delivering leaflets for my free hypnosis service through people's houses, letterboxes. And a dog bit the end of my finger off and I went to the hospital. I still got the scars, tiny little one, little fingers, only little, isn't it? So the scars are never going to be huge, unless of course it is, but it isn't.

And I went to the hospital, A&E, accident emergency, and they cleaned it up and gave me a tetanus injection and gave me antibiotics and removed the nail. I was saying, oh, you know, try and save the nail. I was like, I don't care.

Just go, just take it off. Don't you want to save? Well, I'm not that attached to it. I mean, physically, yeah, but I can't remember the last time I actually looked at my little finger nail and thought, oh, I'm so glad I got that.

That's just, oh, it's lovely. Never, never really been part of my, I never really felt it was part of my personality, my little finger nail. And he said, that's interesting and all that, but do you want us to remove it or leave it? Because we can save it, but it's going to take plastics.

This is totally true. I'm not even joking. We'll have to do plastic surgery on your finger to save the nail.

Plastic surgery. I said, no, plastic surgery. Look, look at me.

You're going to do plastic surgery on me. Look at me. Do you think my little finger's going to even be in the top 10 list of things that need doing? Do something about my nose.

Give me a bigger willy. Put some muscles, implant some muscles into me, into my arms. Give me some more hair at the front.

He said, what about a bald patch at the back? I said, I didn't even know there was a bald patch at the back. Isn't it bad enough that I've got a dog bite now? Apparently I've got a bit of a bald patch. Brilliant.

Great. I said, oh, plastics, plastic surgery, come on, for a fingernail. If I was in America, that would cost me thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to have plastic surgery to save a fingernail.

And the time it takes and all that stuff is going to cost the NHS loads of money to do that. Plus, I just felt, what is the point? I said, no. He said, so you don't want us to save your finger.

Backtrack, backtrack, backtrack. What do you mean save my finger? Save your fingernail. Okay, can we just establish you're talking about, you need to do, you're talking about saving my fingernail, not my finger.

Yeah. Okay. Can I get that in writing, please? Because my finger was a bit split, to be fair.

It was split into about four different bits. It was just, it's just the way it was, but, and it healed. I had to have it all sort of taped together.

It wasn't stitched. I don't think, no. No, they didn't.

They put like a, they just taped it up and held it together and it kind of healed. They took the nail off and just, there. Good.

Get rid of it, clean it up. And, and now I have a perfect nail on that finger. It took a while, it took months and months to, to grow back, but it did grow back absolutely perfect.

So like what I do about nothing. I mean, okay, I have a dog bite. So I did need to go and get a tetanus injection.

I did need it cleaned up because it was a mess. It wasn't just, you know, it was, it was, yeah, I needed, I need, I didn't really have a choice. I could have gone home, just washed it and hope for the best, but you know, I don't know what was the other side of that door.

I didn't see the dog and I figure if a dog's willing to put my hands in its mouth, then it ain't very fussy. So what else has it had in its mouth? So I needed to have a, have a tetanus. You know what dad said? He said, why didn't you knock on the door? I said, well, the dog was just bitten half of my finger off.

Why am I going to knock on the door? He said, well, so you could have a go at a bloke who owns a dog. I said, yeah, that dog's also there. The dog has already tasted my blood.

It's already there. Admittedly, it might have been a poodle or a sausage dog, a chihuahua. I mean, there's no way of knowing, but wow, it didn't, it was a very, it wasn't, it was a vicious, little thing or big thing.

And a dog like that, chances are, that's not always the case, but a lot of dogs are like that for a reason. So the, I didn't really want to meet anyone that owned a dog like that. You know, even with the situation I was in, my brain still worked.

Yeah. Why didn't you knock on the door and knock him out? Because my little finger hurt. To be fair, I was in shock.

I didn't believe it happened. It was just really surreal. Someone came up to me, because it was just, it's just a little finger, you know, it looked worse than what it was, but um, someone gave me a hanky to wrap around it.

So I'm on the, I'm on the bus. We didn't want the hanky back for some reason. I was on the bus, and then I got off the bus, and then I got a taxi to the hospital.

And then I realized that someone just gave me something, which was really nice of them, but it's probably covered in their bogies, and they'd be blowing their nose in that. And now I've got that basically just into my bloodstream. You know, it's like, that's one of the most unhygienic things to wrap around an open wound that could be.

It's almost like he'd like pull down his pants and gave me his underpants to wrap around it. You know, it's just, it should be really weird and kind of funny in a sort of a way. But yeah, what did he knock on his door? No, I didn't want to think in that way.

I wasn't even angry. It was weird. I was just a bit shocked.

I just didn't expect it. I didn't have anger or anything in me. It was just, it became funny later, but it wasn't funny at the time.

But then it became, well, it became a bit funnier in the taxi because the Olympics was on. So this was 2008, maybe. So the Olympics was on and there was Taekwondo.

Apparently, the taxi driver was listening on the radio. And apparently he just said to me, I'd just been listening to this and it might have been on the news as well, but one of the competitors didn't like the decision of the referee, so he kicked them. I don't know, I just found that funny.

It's not funny for the person involved, but just the idea of it is just so ridiculous, because it's sort of, I don't know, I just found it funny. It tickled me. And what's weird is with this, and it's the same kind of thing when I broke my wrist, I want to break my hand, I want to break my foot, I want to break my rib, I want to break my hand before that.

So I had a few little broken bones. I remember when I broke my wrist, I left the wrist, I fell out the bath just after I moved in here and I landed on my left side. I landed on my left wrist.

And I was stuck. It's not a big toe wasn't stuck in the hot tap or anything like that. It was just I fell out, you know, I slipped.

And I was like, ow, ow, ow. And then moving and I'd hurt my other shoulder. My shoulder was already damaged anyway.

I'd hurt my shoulder, I'd hurt my rib, my hip, you know, my leg, everything. But it's particularly my arm. I could feel it sort of straight away.

And I couldn't because I was laying on my left side. I needed to put, I basically needed to put pressure on my left side to get up and I couldn't. So I had to try and find a way to roll over.

So that I could use my right hand to pull myself up. And bear in mind, I was soaking wet, slipping everywhere, like a like a little eel, a pregnant eel. And eventually I got up and I just thought, oh, really? And so I just, I managed to get dressed.

And I just, I think I just kept me, left me dressing gown on and then didn't dry myself off and just put the dressing gown on, let myself dry naturally. And I think this is in the summer. It might, might not have been.

No, it was in the summer, of course. No, it wasn't. I don't know if it was, I don't recall, but I think it was.

I think it was pretty soon because I moved in here in April, five years ago. My voice is getting all croaky. I need to have a drink.

Mmm, that's better now. My voice is so clear now. So anyhow, I remember just sitting here with my wrist.

I mean, the rest of my body was with me as well, but no, that was what was giving me attention or wanting my attention. And I just thought, oh, no, no, I can't be bothered. Oh, I don't want to go to the hospital.

You know, luckily I didn't bang my head or nothing. So that was really good. And it was, it was just a break and I knew that it was broken because I've had enough broken bones and there's a big break, fracture, it's all the same really anyway.

Obviously, there's some are worse than others. This wasn't a bad one. It was clean.

I saw the x-ray and anyway, I went, and I knew it was busted because for those who've never had a broken bone, if you ever kind of wonder, if you ever wanted to yourself, oh, should I go and check out at the hospital and wonder if it's, if it's, you know, fractured or broken, the difference is what happens is with a broken or fractured bone, if you've never had one, hopefully you never do either, but it's not, it's not that bad really if it's a small one. It is the initial pain stays. See, if someone, if you, if you like bruise yourself, the initial pain is really horrible, isn't it? And then it starts to subside.

It might still hurt, but you know, if you don't, if you don't move your hand or whatever, it might not hurt. It might hurt for a while. You might have, you know, a little bit of tissue damage or nerve damage.

Of course, that can be, can be worse than a break, but with a break, it just stays kind of a solid level of, of sharpness. So, you know, that's the clue. So I discovered that when I put my hand in to, I don't know, 1994 and my hand was still the same.

Because it was, I was, I used to punch walls when I was a kid. So I knew this is one of the things, self, go into it, but it's, I didn't realize at the time it was called self-injury, but I used to do it. And I'm pretty sure I've really quite damaged my hands quite a lot when I was a kid.

Because I was young, you know, I'd recover fairly quickly. So I've been very surprised I hadn't broken some, a few little bones along the way when I was doing that. But this time, apart from the swelling up bit, it just couldn't move it.

And the level of pain stayed, stayed the same, didn't subside. Most pain subsides after a short while. Even the worst, it just does subside.

And something that isn't chronic and, you know, I'm talking about like bones, not, you know, serious stuff. So I went to the hospital then and, you know, I waited for about five hours, I think, had an x-ray and I put my hand in a, they wrapped my hand up, they put two things together, three things together, taped them together. So I didn't move it.

And yeah, and I had, I think, six weeks off work. Didn't need six weeks, but I took six weeks. I took advantage of it.

Brilliant. It was lovely. Apart from when I needed to go to the toilet, that wasn't so great.

Yeah. So the next time I broke my hand, because I basically, two knuckles had been compressed. One knuckle got compressed the first time and the next, the knuckle next to it got compressed the second time.

Yeah. So it still aches a bit actually, but I think that's probably more to do with probably just age and, you know, I mean, my hand used to ache a little bit even from the first injury. So, you know, it's just the way it is.

My wrist healed up. It took ages before it was, it felt okay. You know, I mean, it didn't hurt much at all after the first few days, really.

I took pain medication and stuff and I had, it gave me the opportunity, they said, do you want, that's, yeah, now I do know that it was summer because the specialist said to me, because when I actually went to the hospital, they said, you're not sure if it's broken or not, if it's fractured or you don't know. A fracture is a break, you know, it's still a break, just you've got different breaks. You've got breaks that are clean all the way through or breaks that are part of the way through or sometimes break, fractures are actually worse than breaks because a fracture can get all tangled and mangled.

And he said, I went to the specialist and he said, yeah, it is broken, but for some reason, the nurse couldn't see it on the, or the doctor, whoever looked, they couldn't, they couldn't see it on the x-ray. So I went back and he said, you got a choice, you can have it plastered, plaster of Paris. I wish I'd chosen that because I've never had plaster of Paris before.

I thought it would have just been, I don't know, just an experience. And I've never had, you know, I thought, I never wanted one, but I just thought, because when I was at school, people had broken arms and broken legs. There's always somewhat of a broken bone at school, kids falling over and stuff.

And, you know, people would like write stuff on them. And I thought it'd be so cool just to, um, I didn't want to have a broken arm, but I just, the idea of, I suppose the attention, I guess, if I'm honest, because it's usually quite positive attention. And it's right, you know, it's just, I don't know, it's usually quiet.

I used to find it was very good-humored, nice attention, you know, let me write something and everyone sort of likes you. But he said to me, he said, you've got two choices. Come over and sit on my lap while I tell you.

I said, do I have to sit on your lap? He said, no, you don't have to. I said, okay. He said, can you please not tell anyone? I said, what? Well, you're not supposed to have people sitting on my lap.

I got told off last week. I said, okay. Very weird.

And he said, you got two choices. You can have plaster of Paris on your arm, which would basically cover your hand and it would leave you immobile. You won't really be able to do much at all with your hand.

Because I could move my fingers with the wrist. And it hurt, but I could, if that makes sense. It didn't stop my fingers from moving.

So when I broke my hand, it stopped just the fingers connected to the knuckles from really being able to do much. But you know, my thumb worked fine. And so I think the thing that hurt the most when I broke my wrist was the top of my hand up to my knuckles.

But from then onwards, it was fine. But the whole top of my hand, and then of course, across the wrist and a little bit further up to my arm, but it was mainly the area, top of my hand and the wrist. Anyway, he said, you can have that on, or you can have a cast, which you can put on and take it off when you want to.

And it's got metal in the thing. It will support your wrist and your hand. And you need to have it on now for the next six weeks.

You won't, you know, you better take it off to let some air into it. And also because it's so hot, when it's itchy, you can take it off and scratch your arm, which you can't do with the plaster of Paris. And I was thinking, and also he said, with the plaster of Paris, it's harder for having a bath and having a shower.

Because, you know, at least you can take it off, take this one off when you have a bath and shower so your arm doesn't get smelly. So I thought, okay. And also, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet or anything like that.

So I chose to just have the plaster of Paris because the idea of a smelly arm really appealed to me. I just had the removable cast, which I think I've still got. And it worked fine.

Had it for six weeks or so and just had to be careful. And it was really supportive. And now my wrist is okay.

I can punch to punch back and there's no, there's no kind of sense that it was injured at all. It really feels quite strong. Yeah, in some ways, maybe not as strong as my right wrist.

I don't know, probably just as strong. To be fair, I do carry stuff with my left hand. So if I'm carrying shopping, I usually use my left hand, but that's probably because of my injured right shoulder.

Never really thought about that before. I spent years when, back in 2005, I injured my right shoulder. I need an operation to fix it, but I won't have that.

And the years I was in really quite bad chronic pain with it. I learned how to manage that stuff with hypnosis and stuff like that. But it was really problematic.

So I didn't use it very often for carrying things. So I started getting used to, I used to use my left arm. My left hand.

And in some ways, my left hand feels stronger than my right hand, in a way. So if I grip my left hand, it feels a bit stronger. But then if I grip my right hand, it hurts because of the break that I had in my hand from the two breaks.

So yeah, even sometimes I think in the winter, I can feel it in my, I can feel it in my bones. There's a little bit of a gain. I think it's just natural, isn't it? We are connected to nature, aren't we? Even if we don't think we are, we are.

Or the rib. Oh, let me tell you about my rib. Well, I broke my rib.

Actually, I'm going to read you a little message out. I'm not going to read a message out. I'm going to do a shout out.

I'm not going to read it out because I'm not sure if Molly wants me to read out what she wrote. But I want to say thank you, Molly, for your lovely message, and hope you're well. And I hope you, wish you live nearby so you could bring me some home-cooked bread and dinner.

And so they said she likes my recording, so thank you. And I'm pretty amazing, aren't I? I think I agree with you, Molly. Something special about me.

I was always told I was special when I was a kid. Now I know what they meant. I used to think it was an insult, but clearly it was, it was a compliment.

And this is my rib. Oh, what was that? Actually, I want to say a huge thank you, huge thank you to Jade. So thank you very much, Jade, for my Amazon wish list.

It's actually a bit of mine and also a bit of Andre's wish list as well, that you sent. Thank you very, very much. I should have said that at the beginning, but I have thanked the man himself.

But just thank you, Jade. I really appreciate that. You are a star.

And yeah, my... I wonder about the delivery people. Okay, I want to vote about that. No, tell us about your ribs.

Okay. Oh, wait a minute. First of all, I had my rib cracked, probably a baby rib.

It was broken, but it was cracked, you know. And it was the rib real closest to my heart or to right at the top. Every time I breathed, it hurt.

Cat's outside. I let Andre go outside. I think it was today or yesterday.

And he was running around the garden, exploring. And he tried to get into the cat flat, the house, the flat next door in the garden there, because they've got cats. He tried to get in there.

Literally, he was trying to get inside. Little bugger. It's like, I had to grab him.

I'm like, what are you doing? You can't just go in. What if there's no one in there? And he just went in. I couldn't get to him.

I'd have to go home. I'd have to try and pull the roof off or something to try and... Okay, well, my belly's going to get through any window. The police knocked on my door saying, yeah, we've been told that you've did a house robbery and you broke in through the window.

And they look at me and think, don't worry, forget it. I just walk away laughing probably. Yeah, I'm going to climb through any window.

Is it delivery? Did I tell you about my delivery? Did I? Did I? Did I? Yeah, I probably did tell you about it. So I won't. Or did I? Well, I had the delivery.

I might have mentioned it. And it was from UPS, delivered it in a van to Ondrej for a walk. This was Friday morning.

Well, no, probably about midday Friday. I take him to the park because I'm looking after my friend's dog for the day or for the afternoon. And so I thought I'd take Ondrej out because he's going to have to be in his cage while the dog's up here.

So I did that, came back, there was a van. He's at UPS delivery outside. And I thought, shall I ask them if they've got a delivery for me? And I thought, and then the van drove off.

So I thought about it. I had time to do it, but I just didn't. I just thought, nah, I'll just leave it out.

Came upstairs, there was a package outside someone else's door that's been left by them. There was nothing there for me. I thought, oh, it's fine.

Come in and there's a little slip, delivery slip, telling me that they'd delivered to a place that I had to pick it up from. Oh, really? So you just drop that one, leave that on the floor, but not for me. Okay.

So I just had a tantrum, proper had a tantrum. And I phoned up UPS, gave the numbers, an automatic system. And I was just huffing and puffing.

And then I phoned up the place. I told my friend about it. I was just, and he said, it's only up the road.

So what do you mean? It's just up the road. It's just before the roundabout. Oh, okay.

So I didn't realize. So anyway, I went there, I phoned them up. I said, is there a, what kind of size? I saw on there it weighed four kilos.

And I said, what size is the box? And he said it was about shoe box size, shoe size box. So I went, okay. So I took a bag that would fit a shoe box in, get there.

I'm skimming through all the details because I can't get bored to go into detail. And she gets me the box and it's about three times bigger than a shoe. How big are your feet, mate? And what's going on? Oh, he said it was shoe size.

No, I said it was bigger than a shoe. Well, anything's bigger than a shoe box, isn't it? I could say my flat is bigger than a shoe box. So in the end, I had to open it up and try and fit the contents, which was, it was only Weetabix.

I don't know if it annoyed me. So I spent two hours of my time collecting that on the phone, walking up there, walking back. Just three boxes of breakfast cereal, which I'd ordered last week.

So I had to take them out so they could fit into my bag. And I didn't know what was in the bag or in the box. I was punching it to open it.

And I dented a jar of coffee. It was in a metal container. I probably haven't done much good to the Weetabix.

I was showing off a little bit, I think. I can punch, I can punch my way through a cardboard box. I'm that tough.

And really, it dawned on me. It's really weird. I had a little bit of a bit of insight, I think, is my attitude.

My attitude is affecting my experience. But right from the get go, I woke up in a crappy mood. And I was expecting a day to be rubbish.

And it was because that's what I was expecting. And everything, you know, the way I spoke, the lady seemed rude to me, but I was probably seemed rude to her, even though I didn't mean to. I said to some bloke, could you, because she had a dog in there.

So I said, could you just, I suppose you can just ask the lady to come out. And he pointed and walked away. So then she came and I said, oh, he obviously doesn't want to help me.

And it's like, everything seemed to be going a bit wrong. And as I'm walking home, I've also got a jacket on, and it's really hot outside. So I'm sweating.

And I've come out without my gloves, which is something I haven't done for months. Mind you, it would have been really hot with the gloves on. You know, the white gloves, I'm talking about the PPE things.

And it just stormed on me. It's like, I created this, I created, first of all, if I'd listened to myself, I would have gone to the van and said, have you got a package for me? And it said, I had ID, so I just showed them my ID, got my wallet with me, and I took it upstairs. And that would have saved me two hours of my life.

But I didn't listen to myself. I just assumed that a delivery driver would actually do something logical. But then I suppose what he did was logical, even though I couldn't read or have written on the card, didn't fill the card in correctly.

And yeah, as you can hear, I've let it go. And so I had that. And then yesterday, I think it was yesterday, it was probably the day before, I'm losing track.

I was in the kitchen. And I thought I was doing a washing up or something. And I saw a van pull up, and some man run out.

I thought, okay. And then he runs back into the van and drives off. So he ran into the building.

I thought, oh, what's that? So I opened my door, just have a look. He just left something on the doorstep. But hadn't knocked the door, knocked on the door.

It might sound like, well, you said you wanted something left on your doorstep. Yep. No.

But I'd like, that's the point. I want to at least knock on the door to let me know it's there. Because I've had stuff stolen from here.

And so that was weird. And then I had another delivery, which was from Jade. And from my Amazon wishlist.

And it was, he was putting the stuff down. And he's standing back from the door, out of the door. So he knocked.

It was a man. And I said, you all right? Yeah. I said, thanks.

And he's just sort of standing there a bit. So I don't know if he wanted a tip or wanted me to say thank you. Didn't do either, of course.

I said, well, cheers. And he said, I went to pick up the smaller, there's two boxes, one big, one small. Watch out, the small one's heavy.

I said, thanks. And I picked it up. It wasn't heavy.

And so I just picked that up with my little finger and just... Then when he was gone, I started putting my little finger under the cold tack, because it hurt so much. Because the box really was heavy, but I was pretending it wasn't. And I had to go to the hospital and had all the bones reset, because I don't, you know.

Anyway, I got the other box in. It wasn't heavy either, but big. And yes, some of the delivery drivers were the one that delivered, like running in and out.

Oh, yeah. And also the post person, the post woman. I heard like a, you know, the machine that delivery drivers sometimes have, like using that machine, and they get to sign it and stuff.

Because I was always expecting deliveries, I was waiting. I heard that machine. I heard someone walking upstairs.

I heard it outside my front door. So I opened the front door and standing there was the post woman, or the postie. And she handed me the stuff and stuff.

Thanks. I said, I was just wondering, I've had a bit of problems with letters being left on the floor. You know, and she said, oh, I said, it happened yesterday.

And I had a bill that was left on the floor. You know, people could steal your identity. She said, who'd want to steal your identity? I said, that's a very valid point, but let's stick to the subject.

And she said, oh, it must be a new person. I said, well, no, it's been happening hands on and off. For the last year, it doesn't happen that often, but it goes through periods.

And she said, oh, I don't know who that is. I think it was her. I think she got caught.

I think I caught her. I think she was about to let it just drop on the floor. But then I opened the door, it startled her.

And I was talking to her, I could see a little bead of sweat dripping down from over her ears. It might have been wax. No, that didn't happen.

She got so hot and bothered, her ears, the wax inside her ears started to melt. So hopefully, my letters will now come through the letterbox, instead of just being left on the doorstep. So yeah, that's the problem now.

It's not a problem, but it's one of the things about relying on deliveries is, it's different people all the time. It's not like Amazon, it's not the same person. It's not like the post office, or even the post office is not always the same person.

But I've kind of got a regular post man, usually, because I kind of know him a bit, a little bit. I sort of say hello to him. There's also the post woman as well, or the post person.

But I have other people, you know, that come, I guess, cover the holidays and stuff like that. So I put my sleeves down, and see, yeah, it's sort of different people, but usually it's got generally the same person in the post office. But with the Amazon delivery, it's just random, random people.

Sometimes, like UPS, sometimes it's delivered by the post office, sometimes it's delivered by some person in a white van, sometimes a person in a silver little van, sometimes a person in a green van. I think my favourite one is when it's delivered by this really petite woman. And the reason it's my favourite is because she's probably the strongest woman I've ever seen in my life.

She knocked on my door, and there was these boxes that were taller than her, way wider than her. And she's, there you go, thank you, bye. And she's gone.

A speedy Gonzales, out, tiny little thing. I went to pick the boxes up, heavy, heavy boxes. And I think she carried all of them all in one go up the stairs.

Proper strong, really. It's like, wow, credit where it's due. Strong, strong, strong.

So yeah, that was, she's one of my favourites. Just, I'm just really impressed. I think anywhere it delivers, I mean, it's a hard job, physically.

And I think with Amazon, they're pretty, I've heard that they're quite hard taskmasters. You know, as far as their employees go. Although I'm pretty sure the delivery drivers are self employed.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty, pretty sure. So yeah, some Amazon delivery drivers, they won't even deliver, they won't even carry the stuff upstairs. I had one, one, he said, knocked on my door, he said, yeah, you got a delivery, I said, okay, is it that invisible package that I delivered? He said, what? I said, it's the invisible box that I ordered, yeah, from Amazon.

He said, what are you talking about? I said, where's the package? He said, no, I'm not carrying it up, it's too heavy. So I said, what? You're a delivery driver. There's no one you do.

I didn't say this to him. I don't want to make it up, but I said, oh, okay. He said, I said, well, I get stuff delivered because I've got a bad back, because I can't carry lots of heavy stuff.

And it's not the only reason, but it is part of the in reality. See my back, it's strong, but it hurts afterwards. Does that make sense? So my lower back, I can do pretty much anything that I can normally do, any other time in my life.

Oh, wow, do I pay for it afterwards? And only for a short period of time, can I do this stuff? So I can carry something, but a lot less than before. When I was younger, I could carry stuff for hours and, you know, just like anyone, you know, just keep doing it. But my lower back doesn't allow that anymore.

But I can carry stuff. And then afterwards, I had HD, I carried a freezer and I was a washing machine. I helped someone carry a washing machine and through the garden from one flat to another.

And I had to lie down afterwards because of the, just the pressure it put on my back. I'm basically a pensioner before my time. Yeah.

And yeah, so that's the delivery stuff. That's just, that's ongoing. I'm not sure if I've got any other stuff being delivered.

I ordered some stuff. I got sent some stuff from my wishlist. I had the food delivery.

And then that's it. The, my website is going to be closed on the 15th of or 14th of July until probably the following week, because I can't afford to pay for it. And so I'm going to close it and then I'll be able to just reopen it a week later, hopefully.

And, and what was I going to say about my rib? My rib. Now that was done through Wing Chun, when I was doing Wing Chun Kung Fu. And still one of the highlights of my life was during that time when I was recovering, I still used to go along once I was, once I was able to move around without being in pain, but not be able to be taking punches and kicks and stuff like that to my body, because I still needed to heal.

So after about three weeks, I started going back to the Wing Chun. So I'd do some of the stuff, you know, the practice movements and stuff, but no sparring. And whenever people were sparring, I'd go and get on the punch bag.

And my teacher, it's also a practice, just do what you want. Maybe practice kicks, no punches, just kicks. Because punches, we're going to take upper body, but kick in a gentle, gentle kick in there.

But it's hard to kick general, once you get into it, you kind of get a little carried away in it. And I might have punched or kicked, I forget now, but I knocked the, the punch bag, I knocked it out. It was hanging up on a massive, well, really long bit of metal rope or whatever, to the top of this, it's very high roof, really high, probably 100 foot, I'd say.

I'd say it's, yeah, probably 100 foot high. It's very, very high. I don't know what it was, like an old warehouse.

It was big enough that it could have had two levels. Maybe it did at one point, but very high. And again, I don't know if I kicked the punch bag or punched it.

And it snapped. It kind of came off the ceiling. And I know it wasn't me.

It would have probably just, it was ready to go, rusty or whatever. But that would have looked so good if I'd have had it on camera. And this is before, before YouTube, I think even came about.

But that would have been so good there was no Facebook back then. But how cool would it be if I had a video of me punching that punch bag and the punch bag just hitting the wall because it did just hit the wall and went flying basically. Oh, wow.

That would have been so impressive. And when I think of the word impressive, my teacher wasn't very impressed with me. Because I just caused him a lot of hassle.

But it wasn't really me. Whoever, realistically, I'd love to say, yeah, it was me. Oh, wasn't I amazing? But whoever would have pushed, as long as I just pushed it, it probably would have come off the rails.

Because it was ready to come off, wasn't it? I think it made any difference if it was me or if it was a fetus. I think it would have been the same thing. Mind you, what would a fetus be doing, punching and kicking a punch bag? Outside of that scenario, it sounded a bit weird to me.

Doesn't matter. What other bones did I break? Oh, I broke my foot. Here's a weird one.

So this is December. I was a counsellor at the time, self-employed. Most of my work came, I mean, 95%, if not higher level, probably 97% came from the charity sector.

And so I counselled for charities, three different charities, plus sort of self-employed. And I was still self-employed, but that's where I brought my money. And I was waiting for this check, because I had no money.

I was waiting and waiting and waiting. And that was the year that I earned about £5,000 for the whole year. That's just awful.

That's just, you know, it's not even that long ago, about 2012. And of course, it's a long time ago if you're only five. And I got this check, I was waiting around for it.

And the bloke that did the checks, mind, he was doing it. He was lovely. And he was trying to put it together for me, you know, because I had lots of different invoices.

It came to about £1,000. So I really needed this money. And we were getting close to Christmas.

And it was the, I think it was the Friday, it definitely was a Friday night, or Friday afternoon. I had, I think, 15 minutes before the bank closed. And Christmas was something like Wednesday.

It was that kind of period of time. So everything kind of came to a stop. I imagine even the banks might not have been open.

They might be open Christmas Eve, which would be the Tuesday, whatever, it's Monday and Tuesday. And it normally takes, it could take up to three or four days for the money to go through. So I needed to get it into the bank soon, as soon as possible.

And I got the money, I got the check, I ran out of the building. And where they were at the time, where were they at the time? No, it wasn't that far away from the bank, it wasn't a long run. But I ran.

And I wanted to get there, you know, and get, and the bank is in this old building, proper, probably hundreds of years old, this building. And I tripped on the steps as I was running. Plus, it was December, I think it might have been icy or something.

And I smashed my foot on the steps, really, really hard, on the front of my foot, just kind of just below the ankle. Really hit it hard as I slipped. And I just, ah, oh.

And I made my way into the bank, hobbled in, put the check in, and then I did that. And I could hardly walk. I couldn't put any weight on it or anything.

I went to the drop-in center, which is near the hospital. And they checked it and they said, we're not sure, it's either really quite bad muscle damage or tissue damage or whatever, nerve damage, or could be broken. So you need to go to, we don't do x-rays here, so you need to go to the A&E.

I said, so what's the point of me coming here then? She said, well, it didn't make you come here, did I? I said, that's a good point. That is a good point. So, um, dear Jason, have you always been rude to everybody you ever meet? No? Maybe? So I go to the A&E, and as you would expect, Friday evening, because at this point it was probably half six, seven o'clock by the time I got here, because I couldn't walk.

And I literally was hobbling, trying to walk to get to the hospital. And there were so many people there, so busy. And I was waiting, and they said, if it's not an emergency, please go away.

Because we're short-staffed, which is something that I've never really seen before. And, um, I went away. And I was hobbling for weeks and weeks.

I've got a, like a brace thing that I put on it, on my foot, I think, from the chemist or something. So I never actually had an x-ray. But it was, as I said, I know what a break feels like.

And there was, it was swollen, and it was just, and because Christmas came up, I, you know, I was going away for Christmas that year, and I had to actually get a lift, because I went to the train station, and I got I'm not sure if I got a taxi, or I got a, I think I probably got the bus to the train station, which is only like a tiny walk. Then when I got to where my dad lives, I phoned him up and said, can you please give me a lift? I just can't walk. I can't.

I can't do it. It's just too far. So he did, he gave me a lift, I got a lift back.

And it was really weird, because you know, I've injured ankles and stuff, like everyone, but this really was, I couldn't, I hardly use it. I couldn't use it, could hardly, I couldn't put any weight on it. I could hardly walk for, yeah, it was probably four or five weeks before I could really walk on it.

And I'm not sure if I got myself a walking stick, sounds like it's something I would do. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds something that I'd probably enjoy doing, having a walking stick.

You know, because, you know, you see someone with a walking stick, it's very, very fashionable, isn't it? It's just like, when I see someone with a walking stick, I want to ask them for their autograph, just assume that they're a superstar. So I was thinking, oh, I could get like a really groovy, weirdly shaped. Wonder where he's just gone off.

Just scratch at the front door, I think. Bless him. Oh, a new thing I wonder where he's doing is, I've been giving him these massages.

And I've been doing it more regularly, like nearly every single day now. And I massage his tummy. It's quite funny because I can, I kind of make him fart.

Because I kind of press a little bit on his tummy and there's like a bit of gas comes out, which is funny. But it's, it's really gentle. And I kind of maneuver his limbs and just, especially his leg that was a bit gammy.

So I moved that around, moved a good one around and he just lays there and he's got his eyes open. And he just lays on his back and he enjoys it. He really likes it.

And he started climbing on me for me to do it. And that's not what he normally does. He doesn't normally climb on me and just lay there.

He normally climbs on me because he wants something. He wants what I've eaten or he wants to bite me or play with me or he wants to, you know, sometimes he wants a little cuddle. But he doesn't just lay there.

So he just doesn't do it. That's quite cute. Earlier today I was asleep and he actually woke me up by licking my face.

He just wanted me out of bed because he was awake. He wanted me to be awake. And I just found it so cute because he was being gentle.

He wasn't biting me. He wasn't being rough, you know. He was just kissing, giving me kisses.

And I think he was, I just, it was just nice just to wake up and he was standing on top of me, like around kind of my chest, licking my face. And there's something just really cute about that. It's quite beautiful.

Sometimes it feels he just doesn't even know I exist. He clearly does. I imagine I must be fairly important to him because the fact that he, he wants my attention, he wants, he didn't really want anything either, I don't think.

He just wanted me to get out of bed. Unless I was snoring. He was worried about me.

So I've done an extra long recording today. I'm thinking of doing a live recording, not video, but a live podcast on my birthday, 26th of August. It's my 50th birthday.

So I'm thinking of having maybe a kind of a, let me bore you to sleep, get together. So you can send me messages and I'll reply to them live, you know, there and then. And yeah, so that's, that's what I'm planning to do.

So let us know if you're interested. And I don't know when the best time to do it is so that I can suit everybody. Around the world, because of course we sleep in different times, don't we? So I've got people that, because we're in different places, like really regular listeners that do live in other countries other than my home.

So I do want to kind of be there for everybody. Those people in Australia, Canada, America, France, Denmark, you know, just to name some, it's just all over the place. So I'd quite like to, I don't know when the best time is, I have to try and figure it out.

Unless I do two, I might, maybe I'll do two recordings, two live broadcasts, one for the UK and one for Europe and one for Australia and the rest of the country, not the rest of the country, but the rest of the world. So have it kind of at a different time. I don't know, I'll figure something out.

I'd rather just do one rather than two. And maybe have it as a long session, doesn't have to be a short one. And so I can get to read out everyone's messages and say thank you to everyone for your presence, you know.

So that's the 26th of August anyway, so I'll be 50, five, zero. Oh yeah. So let me know what you think.

Oh, what a lovely sound. Anyway, lots of love. I don't know what day it is, what is it? It's Sunday now.

It's Sunday. So remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy. Lots of love.
