#839 Let me bore you to sleep - SMELLY BELLY - Jason Newland (29th MAY 2022)

Hello and welcome to let me bore you to sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. My name is Jason Newland and my website is jasonnewland.com where all my recordings are, are, that was the end of the sentence.

All my recordings are there. So hey, how you doing? Are you well? Are you well? Are you okay? Just have a look at what messages I've got. I've got a message from Sarah.

Jason, he says, I know you're away, but it's been ages just checking you're okay and I haven't eloped with a Thai bride or anything. No, I have not eloped. I'm actually back home.

I came home early because I cracked my rib among other things. And yeah, so no, no eloping. And not even close.

I mean, yeah, I met a couple of people, a few, a few people when I was out there. But yeah, no, nothing like that. Just to let you know, also, thanks.

Thanks for your message. I'm back, back, back, proper back now. So I had to have a few days because what did I get back Friday, Thursday, Friday, I've got no idea.

It's taken a few days to get back to normal because of the jet lag and stuff and the exhaustion from such a long journey. The return journey was nearly twice as long as the journey going there because of the amount of flights and the waiting time and stuff. Just in case you say, well, it's the same distance, isn't it? Same distance back as it is they are.

Yeah, technically, but coming back, it was three flights instead of two. Okay, let you know, I've got a PO box, I've got a new post box. I'll tell you that in a minute.

So you can send me letters or gifts or presents, flowers, chocolates, jewellery. I know you can contact me through my post box. Send me birthday cards, you know, stuff like that.

Or letters, you know, just so it's a private post box. So I'll give that out. I set it up about a month ago, but it takes taken a few weeks to register and be processed.

But it's now available. But I'll give you that address. And I will.

I'll put it on my website as well. I got another message here. This is from a while back 20 or so nine days ago.

This is a review, five star review on my website. Best podcast for falling asleep. So it says here, highly recommended podcast.

I have tried many different ones over the years. And think that let me bore you to sleep is by far the best. Most meditative podcasts are spoken by people who sound utterly depressing and or have some kind of gloomy music that never fails to make me feel miserable.

I am very thankful that Jason Newland is not using music, has an optimistic, very calming voice, and additionally, makes me giggle a lot. Unfortunately, I only managed to stay awake for five to 10 minutes, even though I try not to fall asleep that quickly as I want to hear more. That was from CW.

So I don't know. Oh, CW. I don't know who CW is.

But thank you. I do do recordings with music as well. But I don't know if you Yeah, this I do.

I do. All of my recordings are without music. And then I add music to them as well.

So you got different options. So although I do do, I do have ones with music. There's also ones that are just without music.

I thought I'm just repeating myself. But you know what I mean? As I did the 10 hour ones with music are the most popular ones that I do. I think it's just because of the length.

And it's not just music. It's also me talking in the background as well. But yeah, so but thanks for that message.

That's lovely. Excuse me. I'm just a belching.

It's nice. Oh, let me have a look. Thank you.

Did you do? Okay. Right. Oh, wait a minute.

Yeah. So what I've got, I can tell you the postbox name. Where is it? Oh, dear.

Ah, oh, no, no, this is the one. So the postbox, so basically, if you just do it, my name's Jason Newland. And the address is P O box 13263.

So P as in Papa Oscar, P O, and then box 13263 Colchester, C061YH. So that's the postal box. And that gives me that.

So basically, the name, the stuff is sent to me. So cool. That I'll put that somewhere.

I'll write that, put it on something. New message. No, that's it.

That's all the messages I've got. If you have sent any messages on you on Facebook or anything like that. Apologies, because I've not checked everything as yet.

So I'll put that down now. So yeah, it's Sunday afternoon, 17 minutes past 1700 hours. So it's just gone quarter past five in the evening.

Sunday, 29th of May 2022. Ah, that's nice. You know, I hardly farted at all for two weeks.

Didn't eat any chocolate for two weeks. And on the plane home, because I've got lower back issues. I had to keep stretching or trying to stretch.

And I kept leaning forward. And I'm pretty sure everyone around me thought I was farting. But I wasn't.

I genuinely wasn't. I was just trying to stretch my lower back. Because sitting for seven hours in one position is, I can't imagine anyone was particularly comfortable for that period of time.

But it was, got through it. Yeah, did it. Got it done.

I didn't fart. I might have farted once on the plane. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. But the good thing about it is the engine, because it's quite noisy on the plane. And so no one could hear it.

But when I did get, I let one off. And everyone thought it was just turbulence. So that was good.

So yeah, it's weird. It's almost surreal to be back. And I wasn't even away for very long.

But it feels kind of strange. Kind of strange to be. It's like nothing's changed.

And why would it? Why should anything change? But just, it just, I don't know, I felt like I was just things should change now. I need, I need things to change in a positive way. You know, I need to, I need things to be a bit different.

Which is why I had to go away. I just, I had to get out of here. It really was almost an emergency exit.

You know, it was, I just had to, I had to get out. And I did. And but then I kind of had to come back.

Now I have to get away again. No, I don't. I missed my telly.

Miss my telly. So I missed speaking English. To an English person, like to someone, I missed having that, just a conversation.

Although I spoke to a few people that spoke really good English, but I just, I missed that communication, I guess. And I don't spend an awful lot of time with anybody in life. You know, I don't spend huge amounts of time with people.

But it's nice to have the odd half an hour chatting, you know, every now and then. And I haven't had that. And I did kind of miss it a little bit.

A little bit. But it's strange. It's, you know, I think because, you know, in the week and a half, two weeks, whatever it was, so much happened.

Travelling and I saw so many different people and did things. So much happened. And then to come back, and everything's the same.

It's almost like I never left. And I realised, you know, the world doesn't change because I go on holiday. But everything's the same, like literally everything.

Now my flat stunk when I got back. So not quite sure what that's about. When I say stunk, it didn't smell nice.

So I don't know. I mean, maybe I just got a really smelly flat. And I didn't realise.

So I'm gonna look into that and see what I can do. Because I can't really figure out why. You know, I don't leave food around.

There's no, nothing's rotting or anything like that. Just me. But you know, the smell should just follow me around, shouldn't it really? Unless I do stink.

Wow. Maybe I really do smell bad. And I don't know it.

So I noticed that people in the past that I've had like really, really smelly breath, don't know they've got smelly breath. So maybe I'm one of them. And don't know it.

It's not their fault. It's not my fault. If you don't know, no one tells you.

But then how do you tell someone? I remember when I was working, like one of my best friends at school, people used to behind his back call him smelly, didn't say it to his face. But he used to like say horrible things and to a couple of my friends. And yeah, maybe they did smell a bit.

But I didn't I never cared about stuff like that. It's just someone's your friend, they're your friend and it doesn't matter if they're stinky or if they're what they look like or anything as long as they're nice people. Maybe I was maybe they were talking about me maybe Oh, I don't know.

There's been some weird situations in the past. I remember I was I'm not going to mention where I had this job. And one of the employees, this happened twice.

Three times. Three times. Yeah, three times.

When I'm in like all the other staff, no four times. Where other the staff were like, gossiping about the person being smelly. And I just didn't like it.

I just no, I didn't like them being smelly. I mean, yeah, being around someone that's smelly is not the most pleasant thing in the world. But I think what's what's, what's less pleasant is being around someone that's being rude about someone that's smelly, you know, that's, that's even more uncomfortable, I find.

And there was this person and they had body odors. And there was a young very young person, I was very young and they were young. And this person was lovely, really nice person.

And instead of taking her to the side or him to the side and saying, look, mate, man or woman, whichever you are, because I'm not gonna, I'm not going to mention if it was a man or woman. Although it was like 40 years ago, 30 years ago. And no one told the person just like, hey, you know, you if you thought about, you know, whatever, I don't know how the conversation would go.

Because I've never had that conversation. I wouldn't know how to really broach it. But I just thought it's just, and this person's a really nice person.

I mean, really lovely person. And I was just, you know, it's very rude, the way people were. And even though I'm rude, when I was younger, I was very rude.

I was never rude about stuff like that. Not if it was someone that I liked. Because I don't know like that behind the back thing.

I'm not really a big fan of that. I'd rather just be up front and to the face, you know, humiliate them. No, just, you know, just, this person didn't deserve that.

And I couldn't say anything. Anyway, and there was another person at the same place. But this person was a lot older.

And yeah, had the same issue. But again, that this person was really nice to me as well. So I just, I didn't say anything because I didn't want, you know, what if I stunk and I didn't know about it? Well, you know, I might, you know, I might be smelly.

I might spend my life being smelly. People calling me smelly belly and not knowing. I mean, wow.

And then at work, in one of the places I worked at, in my older years, you know, in my 30s, there was someone and they actually got taken into a room by one of the managers and told that they couldn't come in smelling like that. Now, I personally think they might have had a like a medical condition. Didn't, I never asked, but again, this person liked me and I got on well, very well with them.

And this person ended up getting sacked. Because they didn't perform well enough or whatever. But I think it was, I think they just had it in for them, you know, they used that as an excuse.

But, you know, I got on really well with that person. And then there was another one. It was the other one.

Because, you know, just because someone smells a certain way, doesn't, it's still a human being, it's still got a personality, it's still a worthwhile person, you know, it just doesn't. Yeah, you might not want to be stuck in a small room with them for a long period of time, but or in a lift or, you know. And I mean, just realistically, it's the amount of people that I've talked to, I remember once, I'm not gonna tell you this scenario.

But I was in a room. I had a chair, they had a chair, when there's no one else around. And they were telling me their problems.

This person, I mean, breath, almost fell, he knocked me off my chair, when they first started talking. And I thought of them, it was obviously had some really, really garlicky food. And, you know, but then the next time, I was like, okay, this is, there's, there's a bit of food maybe stuck in between the teeth that's been there for a few months.

Like, that's really weird. I like every, every, every way that when it was like, now, how are you? Is it honest? I know it's almost like a caricature, but it seems to be a bit like that. And we started off with the chairs fairly close to each other.

In the first week, like normal distance. And by the fifth or sixth session, I was outside. I was always talking through the window to to him.

It was, you know, I was on like a little ladder with a helicopter. And I was like, so how does that make you feel? So that was that was weird. And there's a big room as well.

But oh, man. Buffy, everybody has bad breath at times. I know.

I'm sure I have. But I can, well, I know him. Yeah.

You can taste it, can't you sometimes? Yeah. I remember once there was this lady that I really, I kind of fell in love with her. And this was a place that I was going to, that I used to go to regularly.

And I kind of asked her out and she said, no, kind of. But it's very vague the way I did it. And I was trying to figure a way to not like her anymore or not be attracted to her anymore.

Rather. And I don't know if she did this on purpose in order to gross me out. But she walked past me.

She got some coke. She had a bottle of coke. She had a drink of the bottle of coke, put it back in a bag and she walked.

She walked towards me and she let off a big old burp like that. But the gas, I mean, she. I can only imagine she's just eating like three, three big.

Garlic sandwiches or something. I don't know. He's like, honestly, and the belch and the gas and it just it was like a mist that just appeared.

I couldn't see anyone or anything. In fact, my eyes just stopped working for about three weeks and the smell was. And.

It didn't put me off her as a person, but it really was quite a nice little connection. It she went from being perfection to being. I had that really rancid smell connected to.

To her. I mean, she's not the smell, it was just the burp, but, you know, it's like, but that doesn't always work. And there was this other lady that I was really, really, really, really liked a lot, but she was married and she was pregnant.

So it was. You know, you have feelings, you have feelings, don't you? That's just the way it is. And she was lovely and I really liked her.

Everyone's lovely in this recording, by the way. Everybody's lovely. And I remember wait because I was working with her and I waited for her because there was three of us there and we all left at the same time because it was evening.

We were working in the evening and. You know, we were colleagues. So she had to go to the toilet.

So we're just waiting for her to come. And I'm just, I think I'm just talking and I'm turning the lights off and she comes out of the toilet. I've never smelled it.

I never smell anything worse in my life than what followed her when she walked out of the toilet, just out. It was the worst smell. And it didn't change anything.

I still thought she just found it to be the most amazing woman in the world. So that was weird. That didn't break.

I couldn't even dent the way I like how much I liked her, even with the worst smell on the planet. And I never, I never realized, you know, years ago, like I read about how all the dinosaurs died all at the same time, like nothing could kill animals that big. Nothing one, no one thing could kill off all the dinosaurs.

That's what I used to think until I smelled her, her toilet, her smell, her toilet. It sounds bad. You know, the, the, the smell, the smell.

Let's not focus on where it derived from. So I, why other people are smelly? Why am I talking about smelly people? I don't know why. Yeah, that's it.

There might be more. But it was nice. I'm not saying all smelly people are nice.

Just, you know, just, there's got to be a way of telling someone, you know, when I went to Thailand, I thought it was going to be full of smelly people. Not because I think anything derogatory, it's just because it's so hot out there, I just figured that there's going to be a lot of smelly, a lot of, you know, if you get on the tube in London, on a hot day, it can be a bit stinky. Right? And this isn't even an opinion.

This is a fact. And it's probably the same in any, any city that has an underground train service, where you're, when it's very busy, and you're pretty much stuck next to someone in your, in your faces, basically under their armpit, because it's just so many people stuck together. Admittedly, sometimes people just say, can you move away, please? Because I said, why? He said, there's only three people on this train.

Why? Why? Why are you pressed against me? So I'm sorry. But it's, it gets very smelly. Sometimes it's stinky, very body odoury, you know, but it's just, that's natural.

But that's what I thought it would be like a little bit. I thought there'd be a lot of smell, smelly people, but people sweating and, but you know, I only smelt one person that had any body odour. Like only one person.

I didn't smell, no, there's smells out there. Obviously, cooking, a lot of, a lot of cooking smells, because of the street. It's a nice smell, actually.

I didn't smell anything horrible. Well, yeah, I did. Man, I feel weird.

I thought something very fishy when I was out there. It's this lady that I was spending time with. By the way, this isn't going in a weird direction.

Okay. This is, but I'm talking about a fishy thing. Nothing weird.

We were on the beach, sitting on these, like deck chair things with umbrellas, you know, so that the sun wasn't on us, because I can't be in the sun. I can walk through the sun, but I can't be in it. You know, I don't literally mean literally walk through the sun, but I can walk down the street and have the sun on me.

But I can't sit and just have the sun on me because I don't have the right skin for it. And they did just a few of the Thai people made fun of me. I had a massage.

I had three massages when I was out there. Two, no. Yeah.

Yeah, two foot massages and one Thai massage. The Thai massage is where I had my rib cracked. But I had a foot massage the first day, well, the Sunday.

And then I went back and had the Thai massage, which cracked my rib on the Monday, last week. And then about three days ago, I went and had a foot massage with the lady that I was spending time with. She had a foot massage and I had a foot massage.

And the people that were doing the massage were making fun of me at how white I was. Because they, the lady, or no, it was a man. The man put my, because I've got tracksuit bottoms, pants, whatever.

And he rolled them up to my knees so he could massage my calves. And because I had no sun ever gets to see my legs ever. And he started laughing at me, laughing at the colour of my skin.

I mean, isn't that frowned upon generally? I've been told you shouldn't really comment on people's colour of their skin, never mind laugh at them. But yeah, they were like, oh, you're so white. Don't you have sun in England? I said no.

Do you have deodorant here? Why did you say that? Because I didn't need to because no one was, there was no smelly people. Everyone was, everyone smelt, but didn't smell of anything. That's weird.

Well, not everyone. I mean, it was the, I don't know. I didn't, I didn't go around sniffing people.

But I just thought it'd be a bit smelly. Because you know, if you go, if you go on a beach or if you, there's going to be some people that stink or that, that, like I'm one of them. If I, if I, you know, I can smell sometimes if I, if it's really a really hot day and like, oh, I need to have a wash, you know, occasionally.

It's not, not that often. But I'm usually okay. There's been the occasion, you know, it's not, it's not, it's not never happened.

But you know, I normally smell it. It's, oh, but usually I think fresh sweat does, it's not too bad. It's, it's, I'm pretty sure when I was at school.

Yeah, when you're at school, when you're a teenager, there's a lot of smelly people around. But it's more sweat, rather than, it's like sweat and hormones and testosterone and estrogen and all that stuff. So it's, and there's that point, I think, when I was at school where I didn't wear deodorant because I wasn't, well, no one told me to.

So I'd stink a bit. But then everyone did. And then once I got to a certain age, everyone was wearing deodorant.

I suppose the same way as everyone, like with the girls, all the girls had bras or all the boys had, you know, hairs and stuff. So, and I was a late developer. Honestly, I think when I left school, I only had three pubes.

One of them was on me back. What the hell am I talking about? Hope I haven't upset anyone by saying the word pube. Oh, no.

No, no, no, you naughty boy. Naughty, naughty boy. How dare you? Oh, yeah, there's a really smell of sweat at school.

That like, and I didn't, I never went, I never used the shower at school. I mean, never use a shower at school, because they want to be naked. And it wasn't just that.

I was, I was a little bit concerned at how enthusiastic the teacher was to get us all undressed in the shower. He just seemed a bit too enthusiastic to, you know, this isn't a summer holiday, you know, it's not. It's almost like that.

I didn't, I didn't. There's that look in his face. I never really, never really knew what that look was until I remember the first time I saw an interview with on TV with it just won the lottery.

Oh, I recognize that look. So yeah, it's didn't like getting undressed. Plus, I was a child among men.

Literally, there was boys at school that were men in the first year of high school, like adults with broken voices, able to even grow beards, you know, big strong men. And as me and I was a child, I was underdeveloped, little high pitched voice pretty much all the way through school. I don't think I'm not even sure if my voice broke before I left school.

I'm not sure. And yeah, I was very underdeveloped. I still have a little bit, but just brain wise now.

Physically, I'm all right. It's just my brain. I'm still waiting for my brain to develop.

I'm still waiting to mature to become a man. Yeah, a lot of stinky people.Me being one of them.

I'm trying to think is it? I don't know how I got into this conversation. Yeah. When I was away, there was I was sitting on a beach with this lady.

I think she was having a beer and I had a coke. And someone walked past, like every probably eight minutes, somebody stopped trying to stop to try and sell us something. I swear it's it was annoying.

It was constant. The whole time. I mean, the whole time I was there constant someone trying to sell me something, trying to get money out of me the whole, whole time.

I was there. Just yeah, I kind of understand why, but it just it was a little bit too much. Not used to that.

And trying to get how many people stopped. So there was someone stopped and they had flags. Why would I want a flag? I don't know.

But now you're right. Thanks. Another person stopped trying to sell me.

They were trying to sell me watches. And she told me they were dodgy watches and they'll probably last for about three weeks. And I didn't want to watch anyway.

I don't want watches. I've got two watches that I own, but I keep them because they mean something to me. Both by friends, both.

One was a leave in present from a job I had by one of my best friends. Another one was given to me at a wedding. So by another friend.

So I've got those watches and I keep them, but I don't wear them. And so I don't want to watch. Thanks anyway.

Bye. Someone came over with chocolate bars. No, I don't want chocolate bars.

I really didn't. I didn't want to eat chocolate in that heat. It was just too hot for chocolate.

And I'd lose. I thought I'd lose weight, but I don't think I have. Really.

I don't think I've lost weight at all. I'm still fat and smelly. Mmm.

Oh, that's nice. Someone came along with I think trying to sell wallets. No one came along with different.

There's a few different types of food. No one came along with cigarettes. No one came along.

I'm not enjoying this. Is this that many? Another one came along with I think trying to sell toys like, you know, not teddy bears, but that kind of stuff, you know, stuffed toys. No one came along.

Yeah, there was a little girl came along with two boxes or two little cages full of birds. Captured birds, little birds. And there was, I think there was 15.

There's five and one and ten in another. And the idea is, you pay money, and they give you the cages and you release the birds. Now, I thought this was cruel.

Because they clearly catch the birds, you know, unless they've got less, they're like pigeons, Homer birds, and they come back. You know, they saw one big con, and they're all in it together. But I'm guessing they just catch the birds.

And then they get people to pay to release them. So it makes the person feel good, because they've released the birds. And they paid money, which is what I did.

I paid the little girl for all of them, and I released them. Well, and the other lady, she released some. Now, I thought this was like, big cruel.

And then I went to visit the the temple, the Buddhist, the big Buddhist temple there on the mountain, the mountain. And they had the same thing there, they had birds in cages. Not a big fan of that.

I mean, this is clearly a tradition, a Thai tradition, maybe not Thai, it's a tradition anyway. And they've incorporated it into what they do. You know, the distress that those birds must be under to be packed into such a small cage.

It doesn't, yeah, I'm not. I mean, it's quite nice to set them free. But they don't stop and say thank you.

You know, it's no gratitude. They're really, some of the birds, they do take, take things for granted a bit. A bit cocky, in fact, I would say, some of them.

Well, you got a problem with birds now, have you? Huh? So there was that. And then some, a couple of, they were kind of, I don't know, early 20s, late teens. And they were collecting money for a charity, for like a children's orphanage, like an orphanage, children's home orphanage.

And because I've lived in one of those when I was a kid myself, I kind of, I thought, okay, yeah, why not? So, and so I got one of their little packs and it was an umbrella and stuff. And I gave it to the lady I was with, she could have that. They don't like the rain out there.

Don't like the sun, don't like the rain. And then someone came along with, all I can say is it looked like miniature jellyfish, dried miniature jellyfish. And they stunk.

But the smell was nothing compared to how much they smelt once you started cooking them. And the person I was sitting on the beach with wanted some because she likes them. And they're very crispy and tasty.

Even though she said herself, they do stink. So I said, okay, we'll get some of them. And this lady or man, I can't remember, because it happened twice.

So I think once was a man, once was a lady, although it doesn't matter anymore, does it? She was cooking these things on this like, almost like a portable barbecue that she was carrying around. The smell. Oh, it was really, really bad.

Really, really bad. Like, oh, I mean, it's fishy smell, but it was just rent. Well, to me, it was rancid.

It was just, and I've got no issue with fish. I've got an issue with fishy smell. I mean, I used to work with fish for two years.

I worked with fish. And, you know, it doesn't bother me. I'm not allergic to it.

I don't mind the smell of fish. I don't mind the smell of the ocean and all that stuff. But this was something different.

This was almost evil, I would say. It was an evil smell. So yeah, so she found it hilarious that I couldn't, I didn't like it.

And she kept trying to put the food, give me, give me the food. I can't, I don't know. I didn't have one bit of Thai food the whole time I was there.

That's awful, isn't it? I really, really am. I don't know what the right word is, but unadventurous, probably. Food-wise, anyway.

Yeah, I had food cooked by Thai people. I had a cooked breakfast that wasn't it. Well, it wasn't.

It just wasn't. I don't know what it was. And there were definitely eggs.

The sausages were not sausages. I had some bacon that wasn't bacon. But it tasted nice.

But I don't know what the heck it was. It wasn't bacon. I had no baked beans.

I don't know if they even have baked beans out there. I mean, breakfast cereal. One of my favorite parts of the day was getting up and sitting on the veranda or whatever you want to call it outside the room and having a cup of coffee, breakfast cereal, listening to the radio on my phone.

And, you know, it's quite a nice little 20 minutes. I miss that a little bit. I quite like that.

But they don't sell breakfast cereal in boxes. Well, they might do somewhere, but not in the local shops, not in the 7-Elevens that are everywhere. They sell them in these little packs, almost like tin foil packs.

And you get about one bowl in each pack. But I did find a few of the little boxes as well of cereal, which you normally buy in a pack of about eight over here, but they were selling them separate. So I don't know.

Because I'm not a cooked breakfast person. I prefer, I do like a cooked breakfast, but I prefer just to have a breakfast cereal and a cup of coffee. First thing, that's my preference.

And if I want a bit more, maybe I'll have a bit of toast, maybe marmalade and stuff on there, but I'm not, I don't really want to have a cooked breakfast, not in the morning. I'll have a cooked breakfast in the afternoon, you know, maybe every now and then, not all the time, because, you know, I know that it's not the healthiest thing to be eating. So I can't eat stuff like that every day, no matter how lovely it would be.

So, you know, I got some breakfast, got some milk. So I had that every day. Got some throwaway disposable cutlery and some disposable dishes, bowls.

So, you know, it worked out okay. So at least I could keep a degree of normality or a degree of my normal life. But yeah, I had no Thai food.

I had a few pizzas. I went to McDonald's about three, four times. I mean, sometimes I just eat once a day.

I did go to, yeah, there was a place, there was a place that was quite good called the Beer Garden or something. And they sold Thai food, but also sold, I was going to say normal food, they sold European food, I think they call it. So I had like an omelette and a burger, I think once and just different things.

So and pizzas. I had a few pizzas. Again, I don't, you know, some people have stomachs that could just eat anything.

Now, I'm not sure where I am on that, on that sort of scale. It's a shame because you could eat really cheaply if you eat the street food. I'm talking really cheap.

And really, especially as I don't eat much. Sitting, I don't eat much. I don't, I don't eat a lot.

So, I mean, what was it? 10, 9, 1, 2, 1 is 2. You could, you could get by on, if you're really, really careful, you could get by on 10, $10 a day. If not less. I mean, I'm thinking with the $10, the drinks, if you drink in like water and stuff, that's going to add up.

But some of the food is so cheap that, you know, if you was willing to just eat out, you eat off of the stalls of the street food and pretty much not eat anything else. You can, you could get away and live very cheap. I mean, to me, that's not a holiday.

That's, I might as well be here if I'm going to struggle and count my pennies about what I can spend on food. Might as well just be at home. That's, that's not my idea of a holiday, but I guess if you're staying for long periods of time, it's not really a holiday anymore, is it? It's more, I don't know what the word would be, an adventure, I guess.

An adventure. Yes, that sounds nice. Yeah, so.

Oh, that jellyfish, oh man, it smelled awful, like really bad, really, really bad. It's weird because now it's been raining most of the day today. Last night, I went out with my friend, we just went to the shop and he was cold.

And this was, I don't know, 10 o'clock. Was it last night or the night before? I lose track. And it was cold, he said it was cold.

No, he had a jacket on, I just had, I had a t-shirt and a top, you know, a hoodie. So I didn't, nothing thick or anything. And it was lovely for me.

And he couldn't understand it because I've just come back from a really hot place. So I'm not cold after being in such a hot place. I didn't acclimatize to it.

I guess I would eventually. But it was too much, I'm not, I'm not a hot person, I can't be in a hot environment, I don't think. It's not for me.

I've always known that. I've always known that because when it's really hot here, I find it a bit difficult. And I'm not, I don't love the cold.

But I don't find, you know, for me, spring and autumn is a nice time. Temperature wise is generally okay. It can be a bit windy, a bit rainy, a bit chilly sometimes.

You know, but when I'm outside, I don't really care if it's a bit cold or a bit chilly. I don't want to be cold sitting in my house. But if I'm out and I'm walking somewhere, I'll wear a jacket.

I don't care. It's, you know, I'm not bothered. And last night, it was breezy.

It wasn't warm, but I didn't find it cold. I thought it was, it was almost pleasurable to have that breeze and to have the coolness and to be able to breathe and feel the oxygen, like the coolness of the air instead of warm air. I mean, it's like being in a sauna, isn't it? You're breathing in warm air.

But I guess it's just, I mean, it's just what I'm used to, isn't it? I've been born here. I've been, I've been born here. I was born here.

I was born in England and I've lived here all my life. I've had a few excursions out of the country. But generally, I've spent my whole life here, pretty much.

And this is what I know. So I guess, I don't know. I had little fantasies about maybe moving somewhere, you know, living somewhere else, retiring, maybe, maybe living in Thailand or maybe moving to America or Canada, although Canada's can be quite cold.

So it's probably not going to be an issue for heat as much as, it might be hotter than here at times. I don't know. America certainly is at times.

They have more hotter weather. But places like Spain, places, there's so many places that are hotter than England. There's also loads of places that are colder.

Norway, I'm pretty sure, like in the winter anyway, a heck of a lot colder. Canada, a lot colder in the winter than it is here. America is a lot colder in the winter than it is here.

There are certain parts, you know, like New York and Ukraine or wherever. I forget the different places. So there's lots of places that are a lot colder than here.

Russia, that's another place that's a lot colder in the winter. Scotland, it's a lot colder in the winter. Wales as well, than England.

Ireland, I think we're kind of similar. I think Ireland is a very similar kind of temperature to England. That was my experience.

It's very, it's wetter, but there's more greenery. It's so much, it's a smaller place, isn't it? So it's, it's, it's a greener, obviously. It's famous for being green, isn't it? Ireland, trying to think of some other places.

I mean, the heat wise, even everywhere seems to be hotter. Nearly like surrounding areas. Sort of the surrounding Europe, France, Spain, Italy, all those places seem to have a hotter weather in the summer.

Even the idea of maybe one day living in Australia. But then, you know, that's going to be hot, isn't it? Maybe not everywhere, but it's, as far as I'm aware, the summers will be hotter there than they are here. And I'll be honest, I don't really have an issue with the heat here in the summer, as far as it not being hot enough.

A lot of people moan that we don't have proper summers and, and which it doesn't seem how it used to be. My memory as a kid where summer would be full on, like full on hot for weeks on end. But that was my memory of it.

It doesn't seem to really be like that anymore. But it might, I might have a, my memory might be wrong. But you know, we have, we have periods when, I mean, in May, or maybe it was April, one of those months, it didn't rain hardly at all.

Well, not during the day anyway, for pretty much a whole month. And that's brilliant. It's not brilliant.

Obviously, it's not brilliant for the, for the fields and for the crops and for the environment and for the, you know, society. But I mean, it's, it's great if you want to have a walk, you don't want to get your feet wet. Unless of course you wear shoes, that is a solution.

But I was able to walk around the park, around the fields for weeks and weeks on end, not continuously. I mean, like every day for weeks, because I can't do that if it's been raining, because it gets muddy and I end up just getting stuck. I mean, I got stuck there, one foot was all stuck in the mud, I couldn't get it out.

I'm still there now, still waiting. Not one dog walk has walked, three weeks I've been waiting. Amazing.

It's time to fall in love. And if you can't fall in love, then maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, we can just do other things. Oh, who's that? That's interesting.

I just saw someone on Facebook that I didn't know existed. I wonder who that person is. Anyway, so that's it really, that's my day.

I watched, I watched a new Ricky Gervais comedy stand-up special. It's super, I don't know what it's called, Super Nature, I think, on Netflix. That's been getting a bit of interest press.

A few people have been talking about it. And yeah, that's it. So I made a relax, a sleep hypnosis daily recording today.

First one for a few couple, about three weeks, I think. So that was good. Two weeks, rather.

Yeah, two weeks, not three weeks. Or 20, 20 days. Yeah, because last one I did was on the 9th of May.

And today's the 29th, so you're 20 days ago. So I'm planning to start to increase my output again. Yeah, that's the plan.

That's the plan. So on that note, I'm gonna go. I hope this was boring enough for you all.

And I will be back again tomorrow with another Shakshaya recording. So take care, remember to be kind to yourself. Be gentle with yourself, because you deserve to be happy.

Lots of love. Bye.
