🎙 Title: Let Me Bore You to Sleep #1433 – Trivia Tuesday (Shortest Days, Longest Rambles) 📄 Description (Spreaker-formatted, ready to paste): Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You to Sleep, I’m Jason Newland. It's Trivia Tuesday... or actually Wednesday. I missed Tuesday. Oops. 😴 In this extra-dull, extra-soothing episode, I take you on a rambling journey that begins with the trivia of shortest and longest days around the world — and ends somewhere in a memory of selling comedy albums to a policeman and having cold hands in 1990. Also: Vinny cuddles, night shift chaos, and a Buddhist fire exit incident. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. 🙏

00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:07.440
Hello, and welcome to let me bore you to sleep.

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:16.559
My name's Jason Muland and this is Trivia Tuesday now.

3
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.199
To be honest, I don't like being honest, as you know,

4
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.039
But to be honest, I'm doing this on Wednesday because

5
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.120
yesterday I couldn't be bothered. I couldn't do it. I

6
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:34.960
just I was busy. I'm not busy, but a neighbor

7
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:46.679
knocked and had a a chat, and time went by

8
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:52.119
and before I knew it, it was time to go

9
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:59.880
bye bye. So I didn't do it. And the weather's changed,

10
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.479
not not that that should really be a reason, but

11
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:15.920
it's nine two in the morning, and really I need

12
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:23.799
a light on. It's like early evening here lightwise inside

13
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.480
that Now, if I was going to read a book,

14
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:32.719
I would need the light on, or a paper or something,

15
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.079
you know, something like that. Luckily, with computers, you know

16
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.000
there's a light on in it behind a screen, isn't it.

17
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.200
So I ain't got to worry about that. But if

18
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.760
I was sitting here writing stuff down, I would need

19
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:50.239
to have the light on at nine twenty three in

20
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:57.480
the morning. It's kind of weird, honestly, And I haven't

21
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.680
even got the Curve Strawn. So the curtains are open,

22
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.400
the windows are open because it's it was cold. I

23
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.719
put the heating on and now it's too hot for

24
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:08.159
our town.

25
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.240
The windows.

26
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.919
Weird time, it's something. It's only what is it the

27
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:22.439
seventeenth of September two thouss and and twenty five eave

28
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:32.599
hm hmm. That's kind of I think that's the thing

29
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.840
about this time of year. Not this time of year,

30
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:43.039
but like between now and March and open jeney, there's

31
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.639
only six months and between you get a lot of

32
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.120
these days. And you know, during any in England or

33
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:55.879
where I live anyway, this is kind of standard sort

34
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.000
of lighting during the day for a good couple of months,

35
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:10.639
like December, January, maybe part of November. I don't remember

36
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:18.199
it normally being quite like this in September. It's just

37
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.719
really I can't I can't really show you because if

38
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:27.919
I took a picture, it doesn't give you a gauge. Really.

39
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.199
I mean, it's never like super bright inside here anyway,

40
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.360
because there is a tree that's blocking a fair bit

41
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:42.840
of like sunlight when the sun's out. Yeah, it's a

42
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.039
little bit dull. Please only listen when you can safely

43
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:53.759
close your eyes. My website is let me bore you

44
00:03:53.800 --> 00:04:00.759
to sleep dot com. What else can I tell you?

45
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:13.520
Not really much. I just yeah, everything's okay. I I

46
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:21.079
slept last night and then I got up. I dreamt

47
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:28.120
Vinny is now in my dreams with me, which I

48
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:34.920
don't know if that's normal or weird, I don't know,

49
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.879
but yeah, he's in my dreams, so he accompanies me

50
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:48.439
wherever I go, just like in real life. By the way,

51
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.839
I've got Q and A Friday coming up this week,

52
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:57.920
which is in two days. It's Wednesday today. So I

53
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:03.959
have posted on my my Facebook group, which is Jason

54
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.000
Newland's Boring Group, but I haven't had any questions yet.

55
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.560
I had two people like it the post I put,

56
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.680
but no questions. So please go to the page Jason

57
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.160
Newland's Boring Group on Facebook and ask you some questions

58
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.319
if you'd like to. I should also say welcome to

59
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:36.199
the newest members of the group, which would be Sue Brooke,

60
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:53.240
Janice Patrick, Camilla, Melenis, Marina, Mary Forge, Vivek Fari Bada

61
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:02.680
and Peter so Yeah and Andy. So this like the

62
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:07.720
last few that have joined. So thank you for being

63
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:13.639
part of this shop growth. Group. The link is on

64
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.519
my website if you want to find it. If you

65
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.360
can't find it, that is, I think you should be

66
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:25.759
quite easy to find. So here we go. So this

67
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:32.079
is time for trivia Tuesday. I need to figure out

68
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:43.720
a For some reason, I'm very focused on light to day.

69
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:54.680
So what are the shortest days, longest days? What shall

70
00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:00.160
I do? Weather? Because really weird because I actually like,

71
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.879
what's the shortest days of the year. There's one short day,

72
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.639
then there's one longest day, longest days in the summer,

73
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:20.959
shortest days in I suppose probably December or beginning of January.

74
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.279
Let's just shut I could just go through countries or

75
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:37.600
the shortest and longest days. Please give me shortest, shortest

76
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:47.240
if I could spell, and longest days days of the

77
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:58.480
year by country. Got it? The shortest and longest days

78
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:03.319
of the year, depending on attitude, not the country itself. No,

79
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:11.199
by country? Oh it is, oh okay, So it has

80
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:22.399
example by country list all countries. The thing is it's

81
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.079
probably going to be a lot of them. That's a

82
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.079
huge list, almost two hundred countries. But I can absolutely

83
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:29.839
create it for you before I dive in, I want

84
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.840
to check list or countries. Yes, I just asked you,

85
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.639
just just do it, man. I'm a proper task master,

86
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:46.720
mask tasker, right. I'll start off with the general rules.

87
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:56.960
It says equator equator zero latitude equator. Sorry, day length

88
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:04.240
barely changes after twelve hours of daylight all year. Twelve

89
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:11.080
hours of daylight all year in the equator, so it's

90
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.799
like twelve hours daylight twelve hours nine and the kind

91
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.240
of stayed the same length. I am kind of ad libbing,

92
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:28.279
but fair enough. Tropics up to I don't know what

93
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.559
that means. Variation is small. The longest thirteen hours, shortest

94
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.639
is eleven hours, so there's not a lot of differences there.

95
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:50.399
Mid latitudes, which would be UK, USA, Europe, China bigger swings.

96
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:55.360
So longest days sixteen to seventeen hours, shortest day seven

97
00:09:55.440 --> 00:10:05.440
to eight hours, Arctic Antarctic circle at least one day

98
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:14.559
with twenty four hour daylight midnight Sunday Okay specific and

99
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:25.720
one with twenty four hour darkness polar night. Does that

100
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:29.200
mean continuous So twenty four hours of light, twenty four

101
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.679
hours of darkness, twenty four hours of light, twenty four

102
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.080
hour darkness.

103
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:36.399
See.

104
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.399
If that's the case, that must have been really weird.

105
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:42.759
For people that were traveling up there to kind of

106
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:48.519
try and climb a mountain or something and thinking, Wow,

107
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.519
time just slows down when we're here. This is brilliant.

108
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.840
It seems to have been light for age. Yes, the days,

109
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.759
We've got so much done and then they go to

110
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:07.559
sleep and think, God, it's like again, I feel so refreshed.

111
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:12.120
I feel like I've been asleep forever. So polls one

112
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:18.559
continuous six month day and one continuous six month night

113
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:23.200
each year. Yeah, I've heard about that. That's got to

114
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:27.159
be very, very strange. So that's the North and South

115
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:32.240
Pole or North South Pole, one continuous six month day,

116
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.519
one continuous six month night. I'd like to visit that

117
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:43.320
just to see what that's like. It's got to be

118
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:50.799
weird because so that means the moon never comes out.

119
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.559
Where does the moon go? Where does the sun go?

120
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.000
After the six months? The sun just goes on holiday meanwhile,

121
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.559
and go somewhere hot with it. And what we're I

122
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.639
mean the moon, what happens to the moon? So can

123
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.080
you literally during the night, where does the sun go

124
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:17.440
for six months? That's strange, isn't it, Unless it's literally

125
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.519
because of the mountains. So maybe it's because of the mountains.

126
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:27.120
They're so big that the sun can't penetrate them. That's

127
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.679
the problem. The sun's been trying to penetrate the mountains

128
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.840
for years, but he can't. But I just don't get

129
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:40.279
on examples by country. So let's have a look. Here's

130
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:49.000
a complete that's what I'm using chat GPT right, there's

131
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.879
a huge list, almost two hundred countries. But can astidly,

132
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:59.080
absolutely absolutely create it for you. List all countries alphabetically

133
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:10.080
with their shortest the longest day lengths. It's not given

134
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.840
it to me. It's just given me loads and loads

135
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:19.279
of countries. Yes, I'm going to see if they can

136
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.639
do that. Yes, please, because it offered me maybe to

137
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:24.679
tell me one that it can give me the shortest

138
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:29.039
and longest days. But before that has given me a

139
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:37.600
list of some So Ecuador longest day twelve hours, seven minutes,

140
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:45.200
So that's Ecuador, Kenya near equator equator like it's no Ecuador, Yeah,

141
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:54.360
near equator, Kenya, Keny is near the equator, Okay, didn't know.

142
00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:03.120
Longest day twelve hours seven minutes. Shortest day eleven hours

143
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:08.600
fifty three minutes, So they have long days. It's basically

144
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.879
like pretty much twelve twelve. Isn't that twelve hours a

145
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.559
dark twelve hours of sun kind of all year round,

146
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.440
with a few minutes in between. Literally, I mean there's

147
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:37.039
seven minutes either way. So wow, it is fourteen minutes.

148
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.960
So there can be fourteen minutes difference in the entire

149
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.799
year between the longest day and the shortest day. That's

150
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:53.960
up some loteles and then you've got UK London. So oh,

151
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.039
I was going to give me the actual date. That's nice.

152
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:02.360
Around June twenty first, London. The longest day is sixteen

153
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.159
hours forty minutes. The shortest day around the twenty first

154
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.759
of December. I thought it was around December times seven

155
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:17.159
hours fifty minutes. The good thing about the shortest day

156
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:22.279
is knowing that every single day afterwards the day is

157
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:28.960
going to get longer. And I don't know, just there's

158
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.600
something quite nice about that. I mean, it takes a while,

159
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.200
it does, but you know, there was a time when

160
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.519
I'd be up till four in the morning, sometimes eight

161
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:44.080
in the morning. I'd be awake all night for years

162
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:49.039
and years and years. And what I noticed in the summer,

163
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:53.320
like well, in the spring rather really so I when

164
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:58.559
we forget get to like March April, kind of those

165
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.879
kind of months. It's light so early in the morning,

166
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:09.200
and it really gets early quick. It's like the time

167
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:14.559
seems they're just I don't know, it's quite nice, and

168
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.320
the birds are up and singing, and you know you

169
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.720
can look out see them having a shower, bushing their teeth,

170
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.879
you know, tucking into their corn flakes. They're all really

171
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:33.120
getting ready. Okay, they're worm flakes. New York longest day

172
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:45.320
is fifteen hours, shortest days nine hours. So so far

173
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:54.240
the UK has got the shortest day out of anyone.

174
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:59.200
Also the longest day, oh no, yeah, just by ten minutes.

175
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:09.160
Australia longest day December twenty first. It's the summer solstice

176
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:14.119
fourteen hours twenty minutes, so it's not as long as

177
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.839
we have. Wow, so we're doing all right.

178
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:16.799
And we really.

179
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:31.079
Shortest days June to twenty first, nine hours fifty minutes.

180
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:38.359
So it's literally the exact opposite of us in the UK.

181
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:44.799
In Australia it's like the mirror image, sixteen out of

182
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.119
the opposite image. Rather, that's not really a mirror image,

183
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:49.680
is it. But then if you look at the mirror,

184
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:54.039
it's back to front isn't it with people use the

185
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:57.119
word in my mirriage, in my mirriage mirror image in

186
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.279
the wrong way, don't they really? I think is when

187
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:01.960
I say I was like a looking at sounds like

188
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.720
a mirror image. Which is technically, if someone looks right

189
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:13.920
like you and you're facing them, and if they were

190
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:19.720
your doppel ganger or whatever, or your twin, then that

191
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:21.480
would be like looking in the mirror, and that'd be

192
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:24.759
an imma mirriage. I can't say that. My words all

193
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.960
back to front these days, so an IMMI mirriage. And

194
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:33.759
but at the same time, it's also back to front,

195
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:39.720
isn't it, So it's not really a mirror image. I

196
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:45.039
wonder where imma merriage came from. Where you think words

197
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.720
sentences would be quite easy for me, wouldn't you really

198
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.480
consider an amount of talking I've done over the years.

199
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.200
That's got to be weird. How do people in Australia

200
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:10.519
get used to it being warm in the winter? How

201
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:11.400
do you get used to that.

202
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.240
Soul?

203
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:23.279
You imagine like it's warm in the winter. But you

204
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:28.119
know what Australia do. They do it wrong. They do

205
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:35.400
it back to front. They say, oh, the summertime is

206
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.960
their winter. No it's still summer. It's just you're getting

207
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:48.880
bad weather. December, November, December, January, February or whatever or January.

208
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.640
That's winter still. Just because you're getting nice weather, it's

209
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.480
still winter. Don't call it summer. You got it wrong.

210
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:07.119
Canada longest day sixteen hours thirty minutes. Shortest day seven

211
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:16.160
hours thirty minutes. So we're still ahead. Looks like we're

212
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.559
still ahead. The UK is still ahead for the longest

213
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:24.559
day we so far have all these countries. Nope, we

214
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:32.519
just got to Iceland. Iceland. Wow, longest day twenty one

215
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:41.960
hours daylight. Shortest day three to four hours daylight. But

216
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:49.079
then if you look at the UK, where are we?

217
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:56.279
Okay seven hours fifty minutes eight so it's double but okay,

218
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.960
fair enough. We don't have the shortest day, but Iceland

219
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:07.640
do three to four hours. So literally, what time does

220
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:09.039
it get light in Iceland?

221
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:15.440
That's got to be.

222
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:20.359
Really weird just to think that you've got to get

223
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:24.279
you pretty much got to get everything done. So if

224
00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:29.559
you live in Iceland, maybe let us know, do you

225
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:38.480
I mean, do the shops open outside of those four

226
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:45.119
hours or does everything open and close? Because there's a

227
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.640
lot of polar bears and stuff around. Isn't there in Iceland?

228
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:53.519
I don't know, I might be was that Denmark or

229
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:54.440
was that Greenland?

230
00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:54.720
Raw?

231
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:03.000
I'm sure it's polar bears somewhere walking around. I don't

232
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.559
mean like walking around doing this shopping, but walking around,

233
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:11.200
not like fully clothed and gossiping about each other. But

234
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:18.039
you know there's polar bears. But then twenty one hours

235
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:31.200
daylight sometimes? So how does that regulate mood? And how

236
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:37.000
does that? How does that affect sleep? Because I'm just

237
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:46.759
going back to where is it Ecuador? Not Ecuador? The

238
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.599
are right? The poles to the north pole, south pole,

239
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.839
one continuous six month day and one continue as six

240
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:06.200
month night. So how does that affect people's sleeping habits?

241
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:12.000
I mean, technically, I suppose if you're born there, you're

242
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:18.400
acclimatized and you don't know any different. But I don't know,

243
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:25.839
because I thought that the moon, the lunar kind of

244
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:34.599
sequence and stuff had an effect. And that's as much

245
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:39.079
as I know. I suppose You've just got to get

246
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:44.200
thick curtains, aren't you. Although I can sleep in daylight,

247
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:47.400
never used to be able to, but I can now.

248
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.519
I can just go to bed in the middle of summer,

249
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:54.119
you know, eleven o'clock in the morning or two in

250
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:57.559
the afternoon, and I can go to sleep, just not

251
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:01.039
like full eight hours sleep, but I haven't napp and

252
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:05.680
fall asleep. Fine, as long as Vinnie don't bark, nothing

253
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:13.559
else really bothers me, and I can have the curtains open,

254
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:17.960
windows open. It's fine. I don't need it to be

255
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.200
dark anymore. But there was a time back in nineteen

256
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:29.160
ninety one, No, nineteen ninety I had this part time. No,

257
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:31.240
I had a full time. I had two jobs actually,

258
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:37.519
but I moved away from London in I think it

259
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:42.680
was March nineteen ninety it might be February, it's around

260
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:49.519
that time. And then I got a job I was

261
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.480
going back to doing. By the way, unless she in

262
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:55.519
case you wondered what the sound is in the background,

263
00:24:55.519 --> 00:25:04.400
it's Finny chewing on one of these bony things. Okay,

264
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:11.480
So I I still remember that conversation. It's weird because

265
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.400
where I was living there was a phone at the

266
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:19.759
bottom of the stairs I think, and it was a payphone.

267
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:26.319
So I phoned up my Actually I don't know if

268
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:29.200
I phoned them up. Well, they phoned me up but

269
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.079
basically to let me know that there was a job.

270
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:35.319
If I wanted it, I might have just phoned them

271
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:39.359
up just to see how they are. And this person

272
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:40.880
I used to work with, and they said, oh, there's

273
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:45.359
a job. Jeff has taken on people again to do campusing,

274
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:48.519
and he was the body's no longer with us, but

275
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:51.720
he was sort of in charge of the campussin for

276
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:57.400
double blazing, because that's what I was doing in eighty

277
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.160
nine nineteen eighty nine, and then lost that job because

278
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:05.759
the company, the main company we were working for, decided

279
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:12.720
to invest their money in advertising on radio instead of canvasing.

280
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:21.240
But then and that was kind of late summer, end

281
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.240
of the summer, sort of autumn time in nineteen eighty nine,

282
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:34.160
and then nineteen ninety the same man had found another

283
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:40.599
company to work for, maybe more than one actually, and

284
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:47.240
we went out between I think about four o'clock in

285
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:50.559
the afternoon until about eight. It was four hours work

286
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:54.920
and I think it was like one hundred and twenty

287
00:26:54.920 --> 00:27:00.880
pounds a week, so, which is pretty good back then.

288
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:06.400
So I was told there's a job if you want it.

289
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.559
So I called up Jeff and he said, yeah, if

290
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:18.440
you can get back here, we can start Monday, And

291
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.960
so I phoned my dad up and told him, and

292
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:23.519
my dad said, well, you can move in here for

293
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:25.799
a little while, you can stay here for a little while.

294
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:30.400
So I did. I packed my bags. Didn't have much

295
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:35.480
stuff literally, just probably help the black bags of stuff,

296
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:39.279
bin bags and stuff, and then got on the train,

297
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:43.000
came back or went back to my dad's and I

298
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:54.359
started working at this doing the canvas thing. And then

299
00:27:54.400 --> 00:28:02.480
I started thinking, hmmm, it's not really I mean, it

300
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.279
was more than what I was earning before. I was

301
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.480
earning less than one hundred pounds a week before during

302
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:10.559
that period, but one hundred and twenty pounds store wasn't

303
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:14.559
like lots of money, but it was still, you know,

304
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:19.920
twenty quid more than a while was again, but I

305
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:24.759
wanted to I was looking maybe get a job, like

306
00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:31.680
a proper job, and I applied to go and work

307
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:37.720
at this meta factory that I'd already worked out twice before,

308
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:42.640
so I knew people at worked there, I knew some supervisors,

309
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:47.400
and I kind of I didn't work my way back,

310
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.440
but I managed to get a job interview and they

311
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:53.960
took me on. But this time it was night shift,

312
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:57.559
which is what I wanted because then I could continue

313
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:03.000
to do the canvas and job, not really thinking too

314
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:08.559
much about how much work that would be. It was

315
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.960
a heck, you know, it's a long day. So I

316
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:19.680
was starting work at ten in the evening and then

317
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:29.799
I was finishing at six in the morning. I was, yeah,

318
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:34.640
then I did. I'd go to bed, be in bed

319
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:44.160
by seven, and i'd be up by two and i'd

320
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:52.440
start working four, finish at eight. I'd normally get dropped

321
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.079
off at home so I wouldn't have to travel, and

322
00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:59.480
then i'd get ready, maybe perhaps side to eat, and

323
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:04.119
then just had after work. So that's what my week

324
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:08.720
was like for I don't know a couple of months

325
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.400
until I just it was too much.

326
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:13.759
It was.

327
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.119
It's a shame because I think I was doing Saturday

328
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.559
mornings as well in the canvas, and a lot extra

329
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.240
overtime and when they needed me, so it was a

330
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:31.440
little bit too much. In retrospect, I kind of wish

331
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:33.880
I'd just stuck at it and saved some money, which

332
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.279
I didn't because since I started doing some money, I

333
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.920
decided that I wanted to move back to London and

334
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:47.160
do stand up comedy, and instead of saving money, which

335
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:51.920
is why I would need to do that. I every

336
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.519
time I got paid, I would go to London and

337
00:30:54.559 --> 00:31:03.359
I would buy comedy albums and comedy videos. I suppose

338
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:10.880
in a way trying to learn the craft without doing it,

339
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:13.759
you know, maybe fucking learn something from watching the greats

340
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:22.039
performing and I didn't. I learned nothing, but that kind

341
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:29.359
of became my hobby. So I didn't save a penny. However,

342
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:38.839
I think it was December time I did sell my

343
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:43.240
entire collection of comedy stuff for about two hundred and

344
00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:49.079
fifty pound and I had loads of albums, tapes, video tapes,

345
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:52.839
a lot, you know, lots of stuff. So I started

346
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.720
it all for two hundred and fifty and that did

347
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:01.440
help me to move back to London, so it kind

348
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:06.440
of works, but it didn't. I mean, there was thousands

349
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:11.200
of pounds worth of stuff there, but never mind, and

350
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:17.160
I'd save the blokes that bought this stuff. Was a

351
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:21.319
he did stand up comedy, but as a like for charity,

352
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:25.000
so he was a policeman but at the charity he

353
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:27.519
did charity gigs where he did stand up and he

354
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:31.640
just wanted the albums just to get new jokes for

355
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:36.519
his stand up show. So it all worked out, so

356
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:41.440
he was a friend of my dad. Actually, unless my

357
00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:44.519
dad just gave him money. So just I don't care

358
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:48.920
how much it costs, just pay him what he wants

359
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:53.319
so that it'll move away. That might be like he

360
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:54.480
want him to move to London.

361
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:55.480
Just come on.

362
00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:58.039
The whole of the town got together and put a

363
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:02.119
pound in each. There was more than two hundred and

364
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:04.279
fifty people living in that town. But again, you know,

365
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.079
you get the idea. Everyone wanted me out while they

366
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:13.839
are they are, But then I remember I'm staying at

367
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:22.400
my dad's. This was quite good, Like this was the

368
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:27.559
best time that we kind of lived together because during

369
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:31.839
the week, he was at home. During the week, I

370
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:36.799
was at work like nearly all the time every night,

371
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:41.599
so literally he'd get home, he go to worker with

372
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:46.799
sometimes cross swords, cross swords. Sometimes i'd see him in

373
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:48.720
the morning. I'd be at my breakfast when he was

374
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:52.720
getting up, and then I'd be going to bed. So

375
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:55.400
sometimes i'd see him before he went to work to work,

376
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:03.319
and i'd be gone before he got home. I might

377
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:06.640
see him briefly for a few minutes at eight o'clock

378
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:11.679
when I got back. But you know, that was kind

379
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:16.000
of sometimes and then he spent most of his weekends

380
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:21.480
at his girlfriends, who ended up being his wife. So

381
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.679
it was quite a good situation. We didn't really sort

382
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:35.360
of annoy each other too much. Yeah, so that was

383
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:40.320
quite cool. So it was nice, especially at the weekend.

384
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:44.800
I kind of had the house to myself. Not that

385
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:46.800
I needed the whole house, but it was just nice

386
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:51.079
to have the TV in the living room and instead

387
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:54.079
of my black and white TV upstairs, which I could

388
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.239
have got myself a color TV. I didn't, but I

389
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:01.280
could have done unless I did. Maybe I did have

390
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:07.719
a colored TV, because I'm thinking, you know, if I had,

391
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:12.639
because I've got this. Yeah, this is a thing. When

392
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:18.599
I lived in nineteen eighty nine, I lived in a house,

393
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.599
like in a room in a house, and I watched

394
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:31.119
Eddie Murphy's Delirious on videotape, which meant I must have

395
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:36.360
had a video recorder. There's no way I would have

396
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:40.280
a video recorder with a black and white TV. That

397
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:43.280
doesn't make sense. So I must have had a TV

398
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:46.800
unless there was just one in a room that I

399
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:54.880
was renting as possible. It is possible, but I rented

400
00:35:54.920 --> 00:36:00.480
that Delirious out from the video shop or borrowed it someone.

401
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:04.159
I can't really remember. It's a long time ago now,

402
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:13.199
I suppose I do remember the turning up for the

403
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:18.559
job interview, and if nothing else, I was kind of

404
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:28.440
having to explain why I had worked there twice already

405
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.320
in the meter the meta factory, not meat but meter

406
00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:37.880
like electric meters factory, and why I had left twice

407
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.880
without even telling them. I just I had a habit

408
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:45.039
of not telling people when I left because I've had

409
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.559
like fifty odd jobs or something. So I think I

410
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:51.760
had one. I had three jobs in one week once.

411
00:36:53.519 --> 00:37:01.559
I think this is not nineteen eighty eight. So what

412
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:05.599
I did is I told the lady who was interviewing

413
00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:10.039
me the story of me going to Spain for the afternoon,

414
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:16.000
and she found it so hilarious that she just gave

415
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.280
me the job. I think she felt sorry for me,

416
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:24.679
but I just you know the facts. I got ripped

417
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:26.880
off by a taxi driver and I was left with

418
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:30.119
no money and I just couldn't had to come back,

419
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:36.280
had no choice. And she, I don't know, however, whatever

420
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:38.119
it was the way I told her the story, she

421
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:41.559
found it very funny. I don't quite know what I said,

422
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:48.679
but she found it humorous and if I remember, she

423
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:51.360
was almost crying. I don't know if it's because she

424
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:55.000
was crying from boredom or I mean she was sitting there.

425
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.519
Maybe she had piles, I don't know, but she just

426
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:03.719
could have been a hemorrhoid induced tears. But she Yeah,

427
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:11.199
she gave me the job and I started working. I

428
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:13.599
had to be trained, so I think I had a

429
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:17.440
week of days. So I wasn't able to do the canvasing.

430
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:24.119
Or was I I worked nine till five. Maybe I

431
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:29.599
was able to maybe they I don't know. I think

432
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:34.840
I had to have a week off. But the problem

433
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:42.119
I had at that time was I'd be going to

434
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:48.239
sleep at seven in the morning, and because i'd get home,

435
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:52.559
probably i'd probably get home about half six, have started

436
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:57.960
to eat and then go to bed. So maybe it

437
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.360
was half past seven, trying to think want me to

438
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:08.320
go to bed after eating? Who knows by Really I

439
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:14.199
struggled a little bit because of light coming in, and

440
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.960
I think my dad puts some extra thick curtains up

441
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:26.320
and he he made it. He put his curtains up,

442
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:28.679
but it was like he made it from a big sign,

443
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.000
so he pushed them over. So I had to put

444
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:38.559
them over the thing, but it's this big like like

445
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:43.719
fabricated sign like stitched to it as well. So when

446
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.400
the curns are open or closed rather, and it was

447
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.679
covering the whole window, it was completely black, but you

448
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:54.800
could see a luminouses please leave. So I'm not quite

449
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:58.159
sure what that was about, please move out.

450
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:02.079
And I got used.

451
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:06.320
To it after a while. The hardest bit was the

452
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:11.480
weekends really, because I'd be finishing at six on a

453
00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:15.519
Friday and I wouldn't be going back till ten on

454
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:20.360
a Monday in the evening on a Monday, so you

455
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:24.079
could say, technically I had three days off every week.

456
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:27.639
I didn't, but I kind of did. I had all

457
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:35.559
day Friday, all day Saturday, no Monday night, Tuesday night,

458
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:39.280
Wednesday night, Thursday or Friday night. It's a Saturday Sunday.

459
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:43.920
We're talking about two days. What was I saying three days?

460
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:47.280
I know, three days because then you've got the whole

461
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:50.559
of Monday. So yeah, technically three days off. Bit's not

462
00:40:51.239 --> 00:41:00.920
you know, three whole days, but it's you know, I

463
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:04.039
kind of wasn't sure what to do. I mean, when

464
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:06.400
I first started, I thought, now I'm just go to bed,

465
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:09.599
go to bed, like normal wake up at two or

466
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:18.760
three in the afternoon and then go back to bed,

467
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:23.719
maybe try and try and just have the normal sleep

468
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:26.920
pat and certain wake pattern as I normally do, you know,

469
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:31.800
like night shift. But that was a little bit hard

470
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:36.440
because you know, back then, there was no night television

471
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.760
really to speak of. There was a few bits and

472
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:41.960
bobs on at night, but there wasn't a lot going on.

473
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:48.039
There wasn't really anything to do or anywhere to go.

474
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:51.519
And like when I moved to London, there was always

475
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:53.679
stuff to do, you know, providing I can afford to

476
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:58.440
get there and afford a bottle of coke or whatever

477
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:02.519
while I was there an entrance fee, I could just

478
00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:06.840
there's always be somewhere like in the West End or

479
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:12.800
somewhere like that. But where I was living at the time,

480
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:18.079
there was nothing there. There was it was it's a

481
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:22.639
nice little town, but there was nothing to do really

482
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:25.679
other than maybe going into pubs and stuff. And that's

483
00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:28.880
at the time that really wasn't me. I wasn't really

484
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:35.960
a puppy person. I'm still not really, but I definitely

485
00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:41.039
wasn't then. I didn't like pubs. I liked pubs when

486
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:45.360
I was sixteen but I didn't as well. I just

487
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:47.400
liked it because I wasn't supposed to be in there,

488
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:55.480
but it wasn't. Yeah, I never really never really got

489
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:57.719
the point of it. I never really saw the point of.

490
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:00.480
Pubs.

491
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:04.000
I can see the point of them in the past,

492
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:13.280
you know, with community getting together, and but I didn't.

493
00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:15.800
I was never really part of any kind of community,

494
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:20.519
as in like lots and lots of different people or

495
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:23.440
living together in a in a room, not in a

496
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:27.039
room in a road. Rather, I suppose I lived in

497
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:31.199
houses where there was like community of people living not

498
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:35.519
together but separately but kind of get to know them

499
00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:40.960
a bit. But that going into a part and say

500
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:45.239
a lood to your car mechanic or the person who

501
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:49.039
delivers your milk or your post or the local electrician

502
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:55.480
or never really kind of had that. I suppose the

503
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:59.280
only closest thing I got was maybe seeing people that

504
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:04.000
I worked with. That would be probably the closest thing.

505
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:09.480
And even when I moved to London, really I would

506
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:12.760
say the only time I went to a pub is

507
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:16.519
were people that I worked with, outside of when I

508
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:20.719
was going to comedy clubs or when I was dating.

509
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:22.880
If I dated someone and would go to a pub,

510
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:36.760
but became accustomed to be able to sleep during the day.

511
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:41.480
And it wasn't the last time I did night shift either,

512
00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:45.880
So I did night shift in nineteen ninety. I finished

513
00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:53.199
I think October nineteen ninety because what they did is

514
00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:57.239
they got rid of the night shift and they moved

515
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:02.119
me onto a double shift of one week being six

516
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:04.880
in the morning till two at night six in the

517
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.880
morning to two in the afternoon other and then the

518
00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:11.000
following week two in the afternoon until ten at night.

519
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:14.880
And I said, I don't want to do that, and

520
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:18.039
they said, that's your new hours. I said, but I

521
00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:20.800
don't want to do it. And they were also making

522
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:28.599
people redundant as well, and I just I wasn't pleased.

523
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:30.559
I wasn't happy with it, so I left. It just

524
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:34.599
didn't go in because I only took the job on

525
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:37.599
because it was a nice shift. I never liked the

526
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:41.239
double shifts. I did that two previous times I worked there.

527
00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:44.519
Didn't like it because it's hard to get ready. I

528
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:53.199
found it was hard to get into any kind of routine.

529
00:45:53.920 --> 00:46:00.320
If the hours are the same every day, then it's

530
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:02.119
a routine I can get my head around.

531
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:06.159
I mean, what are you doing and he there, he

532
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:14.719
goes dinner there, Johnny here, what is it?

533
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:19.199
He's standing on the side of the of the SETI

534
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:20.519
looking at me.

535
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:23.440
He doesn't really do that. He's on the armist but

536
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:25.719
on this side of where I don't see. You want

537
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:28.960
to get on my lap? I want to go on

538
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:34.519
my lap. Come on, it's all right. One of the

539
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:41.719
problems he has he loves to cuddle, but he doesn't

540
00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:46.880
like cuddling, which is a weird one, and it's hard

541
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:47.440
to explain.

542
00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:48.599
Is like.

543
00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:54.480
If he is like he's he doesn't know whether to

544
00:46:54.599 --> 00:46:57.360
do it or not. So if I kind of pick

545
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:02.400
him up, he'll run away. But actually what he really

546
00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:08.079
wants is probably to lay on my lap. And he

547
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:10.400
looked like he was trying to get onto my lap

548
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:13.280
from over there, But as soon as I went to

549
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:16.119
reach out to help him, he ran off, jumped off

550
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:23.760
the chair. Don't you whether it's just that he wants

551
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:27.280
attention and I wasn't giving it to him. Hey, you

552
00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:30.840
get my attention now on you. You definitely get my

553
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:34.960
attention when you bark. That's not the kind of attention

554
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:42.800
you want, though, is it. No, No, it's not. He's

555
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:45.360
been a little bit more affectionate these days. To me,

556
00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:54.159
maybe he's he's just succumbed to the idea that he's

557
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:57.920
stuck with me. Perhaps that's what it is. Maybe all

558
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:01.960
his dreams have just faded and he's given up the

559
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:05.519
hope of getting out of here, and he's just accepted

560
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:10.280
his fate, that he's stuck with his old man. Is

561
00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:14.400
that what it is? Then, if you just accepted your fate.

562
00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:20.360
He doesn't have it too bad, he can't. I mean,

563
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:23.840
he gets out at least three times a day. I mean,

564
00:48:26.280 --> 00:48:29.199
it sounds like a prison, isn't it. Like he's released,

565
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:37.360
he has exercise three times a day. I think he

566
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:42.400
has Okay, I don't know. It's hard to tell, isn't it. Hee,

567
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:50.440
It seems okay. He seems fairly fairly content, all right.

568
00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:55.079
So I've had nice shift jobs. So I had the

569
00:48:55.159 --> 00:49:00.800
one at the factory making meters, but I was doing

570
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:05.360
a different job this time. I was actually instead of

571
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:07.599
packing the meters, which is what I did the last

572
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:13.199
two previous times I worked there, I was doing more

573
00:49:13.679 --> 00:49:23.320
meter at work, as in testing meters, putting meters together,

574
00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:29.320
you know, building them, taking them apart, fixing stuff like that.

575
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.039
So there's a lot more technical stuff, and it's a

576
00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:35.039
lot more interesting as well. But then sometimes I'd be

577
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.599
on the conveyor belt where all I was doing was

578
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:42.320
just screw putting, screwing, you know, there's the conveyor belt

579
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:46.239
would be huge. It'd start off with like an empty

580
00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:49.159
an empty case, and then by the end of it

581
00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:52.159
there'd be a meter, you know, a complete meat I

582
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:57.880
put together. Now, I'm pretty sure that that wouldn't be

583
00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:01.159
done by hand anymore, probably hasn't been for a long time.

584
00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:09.840
But it was weird because at the time. So when

585
00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:15.039
I moved, and because I've lived around a lot, every

586
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:18.199
time I saw electric meter, I look at it and

587
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:20.000
think that could have been one of the ones.

588
00:50:19.840 --> 00:50:20.519
That I touched.

589
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:24.480
You could argue, well, I just touch it now then

590
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:28.239
you know it is. But no, I mean it's something nice.

591
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:31.400
I suppose. You know, if you make toilet seats and

592
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:33.679
you visit someone and you sit down the toilet seat,

593
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:35.599
instead of thinking about all the different people who have

594
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:39.440
sat down on that toilet seat doing poos, you can think, oh,

595
00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:46.000
I might have helped make that seat when it was clean.

596
00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:52.239
It's I don't know, it's just I kind of looked

597
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:58.480
at the meters and thinking, ah, because you imagine I

598
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:03.239
saw thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of these

599
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:07.920
electric meters. They were all black. They all looked the same.

600
00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:14.159
And I've seen loads of them since I back in

601
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:19.159
the past, not so much recently, but it used to

602
00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:23.960
have They used to have their little logo on it

603
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:27.119
and stuff. But I think they were the main provider

604
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:33.119
of electric meters in Europe. Maybe not the world, but

605
00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:37.840
in Europe. And they had more than one factory, but

606
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:41.199
they were big. That was pretty much the main place

607
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:45.559
to get employment in that town outside of the docks.

608
00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:50.920
So second, it was the I think it was the

609
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:56.320
biggest poor in Europe for a while. So you know,

610
00:51:56.559 --> 00:51:59.800
it's sort of that was doing quite well. Or maybe

611
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:03.559
this second maybe Dover was up, you know, higher up,

612
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:10.639
but it is at loads and loads of jobs from

613
00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:13.559
Trall in you know, Trall in the seas and stuff

614
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:16.039
away low and I think Trall what do they do.

615
00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:19.360
They take the ships out to the sea they called trawlers.

616
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:32.239
Two working in the export agencies. Two I mean I

617
00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:45.519
worked on the docks one, one, two, three, four at

618
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:49.400
least four times. Three of those times were for cleaning

619
00:52:49.480 --> 00:53:00.199
jobs and the other time was in a what was it, Oh,

620
00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:06.400
it was a holag company for chemicals, so liquid chemicals

621
00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:10.480
and these big tankers would that that was what my

622
00:53:10.599 --> 00:53:19.119
job was working in the office. I remember that. I

623
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:22.199
remember because I had a lot well, I knew quite

624
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:25.079
a few people that worked on the docks, because that

625
00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:28.199
was the main place really to get jobs outside of

626
00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:35.000
retail or in the factory unless you was I suppose

627
00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:39.960
delivering post or milk, or a builder or you know,

628
00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:42.840
just the other kind of things. But as far as

629
00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:49.039
condensed jobs, like lots of jobs in one place, they

630
00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:54.719
were the two main ones in that town. But then

631
00:53:54.760 --> 00:53:56.639
if you go to the next town, there was a

632
00:53:56.679 --> 00:54:04.199
sugar factory and so that employed huge amounts of people.

633
00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:09.079
I'm not sure what else they had there. It turned

634
00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:13.320
into be in the pretty much the capital of insurance,

635
00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:17.599
like nearly every insurance company was held there as well

636
00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:21.559
in the ninety in the two thousands, I made like

637
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:28.760
so many different companies in one place. So yeah, I

638
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:39.880
worked in two and in both those companies I I

639
00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:45.079
actually worked with, I think I had three, possibly three

640
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:50.840
or four people came in from the previous company. One

641
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:58.280
was already there, so Jody he I remember Jody, like,

642
00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:01.480
he was the number one sells in Churchill. When I

643
00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:05.840
worked at Churchill, I was kind of number two. Sometimes

644
00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:08.239
Jerley was number two, but that was rare. He was.

645
00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:16.880
Overall number one, and I didn't really I did not

646
00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:18.519
talk to him, but I didn't really kind of get

647
00:55:18.559 --> 00:55:20.639
to know him because he was in a different team

648
00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:21.119
to me.

649
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:25.880
And we didn't really have an opportunity to just wander

650
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:31.559
around and talk to each other. And you know, so

651
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:33.480
I didn't really I knew him as well, saylo To

652
00:55:34.199 --> 00:55:39.079
and he knew me because we were on the leader board,

653
00:55:39.480 --> 00:55:41.559
you know, on the wall, so one kind of knew

654
00:55:41.559 --> 00:55:46.239
who we were. And he had been there for a

655
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:51.400
long time, I think. So he left and I didn't

656
00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:55.840
see him for probably a couple of years, maybe a year.

657
00:55:58.199 --> 00:56:02.320
And this is in two thousand and I'm working in

658
00:56:02.719 --> 00:56:09.039
the It's like a gift shop, a Buddhist gift shop,

659
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:18.960
selling some nice stuff, some absolute just yeah, it depends

660
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:22.880
on what you like. But there was incest you could buy.

661
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:32.920
There was ornaments, cushions, curtains I did have. I mean

662
00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:35.639
I can't remember. They had like these hairy curtains that

663
00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:42.199
you could buy. It's like, wow, it's really weird. I

664
00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:45.920
remember this one time because I worked in the same

665
00:56:45.960 --> 00:56:49.559
shop in a different town when I was doing my degree,

666
00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:59.440
and the manager at the shop that's spent about five

667
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:06.000
hours putting together this curtain display. I really put a

668
00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:10.039
lot of energy into it in time. And he said,

669
00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:13.039
what do you think? I said, I think it's lovely. However,

670
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:20.400
he said, what do you mean? However? I said, you

671
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:26.639
put it right in front of the fire exit, and

672
00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:32.559
he said, so, now, what go explain? Is what I

673
00:57:32.679 --> 00:57:36.079
noticed with some of my Buddhist friends. It wasn't that

674
00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:43.880
they didn't care about stuff like that. They were so

675
00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:51.239
focused on the moment that he just didn't really have

676
00:57:51.679 --> 00:57:56.519
But I would. In some ways, I'm a bit too

677
00:57:56.599 --> 00:58:04.000
prepared for things like that. Hopefully, what nothing like that happens.

678
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:05.760
But I'm kind of if I get on a ship,

679
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:12.239
I know where the lifeboats are, and you know, I'm ready.

680
00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.199
I've got a dress. I walk around with a full

681
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:18.639
dress underneath my clothes in case that go, you know,

682
00:58:18.800 --> 00:58:23.519
like only women and children I'm on there. None of

683
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:27.079
that stuff. I'm getting out of there. I'm still going

684
00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:29.840
to stand there because I've got a WILLI no, you

685
00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:31.840
don't get to go on a ship because you've got

686
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:33.519
a WILLI no, it doesn't work like that.

687
00:58:33.719 --> 00:58:34.599
Sorry.

688
00:58:35.400 --> 00:58:41.679
In fact, on a Titanic. I can't believe it.

689
00:58:41.760 --> 00:58:42.159
I just.

690
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:47.960
I understand children that get I understand that, Well you're

691
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:54.079
against women, then they are, you're a sogginest. Are you sexist? Well,

692
00:58:54.199 --> 00:58:56.880
sometimes when I brush my hair and have a bath,

693
00:58:57.719 --> 00:59:01.480
I would say that I'm pretty sexist sometimes get attention.

694
00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:04.639
No, that's not what it means.

695
00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:16.599
So I like to be fairly prepared. And when I

696
00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:19.039
said that to him, he's like, oh, it's all I had.

697
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:23.679
Don't matter, and he went upstairs, and I thought, it

698
00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:29.280
does matter. But at the same time, he'd just spent

699
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:36.000
about five hours putting it together, and I did feel

700
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:40.440
for him because it was a lovely display and he's

701
00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:46.480
very artistic, and he'd been doing that job for a

702
00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:49.760
long time, also in the other shop that I used

703
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:52.199
to work in, because that's he got me that job

704
00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:58.239
originally in the other shop back in two thousand November

705
00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:08.639
two thousand and two. And yeah, I felt bad, but like,

706
01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:12.320
you know what, the fire exit's there for a reason

707
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:19.320
and you don't need it, so you need it. I

708
01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:21.079
was going to say, like a condom, but it's not

709
01:00:21.199 --> 01:00:27.760
really good analogies, but you know, generally, But anyway, he

710
01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:30.480
went upstairs, he had the he did have the up

711
01:00:30.480 --> 01:00:34.000
with me like then he came down and he started

712
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:38.119
taking the stuff down and I helped him. I said, look,

713
01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:40.000
just move it to a different part of the part

714
01:00:40.039 --> 01:00:45.199
of the shop, and he said you I suppose, and he

715
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:49.639
probably didn't say that. I did feel a bit bad

716
01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:56.039
because that where the fire exit was was really he

717
01:00:56.079 --> 01:00:59.599
couldn't kind of have anything there, and it looked at

718
01:00:59.639 --> 01:01:06.880
a place it was very kind of bear area, and

719
01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:13.119
there was like a little courtyard outside. So although a

720
01:01:13.239 --> 01:01:18.480
fire exit if yeah, I wouldn't want to be stuck

721
01:01:18.519 --> 01:01:20.480
in the courtyard to be fair, or they could get

722
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:26.119
onto the roofs, which I sometimes did. There was one

723
01:01:26.159 --> 01:01:29.559
member of staff that I didn't get on with and

724
01:01:29.639 --> 01:01:31.440
she used to pick on me basically. She used to

725
01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:33.599
be just say rude things to me for no reason.

726
01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:40.320
And I think there was that safety of working with Buddhists,

727
01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:44.519
and she wasn't a Buddhist, but she felt safe that

728
01:01:44.559 --> 01:01:46.840
she could probably get away with more stuff than she

729
01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:52.400
would normally. And in the end I just had to

730
01:01:54.679 --> 01:01:58.000
let the management know that I wouldn't work with her anymore.

731
01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:03.760
It's weird and this is supposed to be a peaceful environment.

732
01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:08.639
But that was my opinion. It should it should be peaceful.

733
01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:11.400
And I wasn't out to cause trouble. I was just

734
01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:17.000
unfortunately being criticized every turn by her for no reason.

735
01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:21.920
And then every now and I thought, now I'm not

736
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:25.400
talking to her anymore. She'd draw me in by asking

737
01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:28.599
me a question about myself, knowing that I love to

738
01:02:28.639 --> 01:02:32.360
talk about myself and should draw me in being friendly.

739
01:02:33.239 --> 01:02:35.920
And then she'd criticize something I just said, or she'd

740
01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:40.440
pull apart what I just said. It's like ah, and

741
01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:43.400
then she said she kept going about I'm angry, what's

742
01:02:43.440 --> 01:02:49.679
its I'm at Cambridge, I'm at Cambridge University. I'm at Cambridge.

743
01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:53.559
She used to love saying that. It turned out she

744
01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:57.639
was an angryer Ruskin in Cambridge, which is not the

745
01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:01.679
same as being at Cambridge. There's an Anglian Ruskin at

746
01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:08.199
Chelsford Angler Ruskin University is not the same as going

747
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:12.280
to Cambridge just because it's in Cambridge. It's like me

748
01:03:12.800 --> 01:03:17.960
working in McDonald's in Cambridge and saying, yeah, I'm at

749
01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:24.400
Cambridge it's not exactly the same, but she really was

750
01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:33.440
acting like she was at Cambridge University campus and she wasn't.

751
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:36.760
I found it funny. I laughed for about an hour.

752
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:46.599
Solid she didn't enjoy that because someone asked her because

753
01:03:46.599 --> 01:03:50.239
she said something. Her car broke down, and I think

754
01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:51.920
she was on the phone and saying, yeah, if you

755
01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:54.880
picked the car up yet, because she had to get

756
01:03:54.960 --> 01:03:59.840
I think she got a lift back, and she was saying,

757
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:03.400
if you're saying to the address or sit in the

758
01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:08.880
car park at the university in Cambridge, and I think

759
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:13.960
they were asking, like what Cambridge University. It's like, yeah,

760
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:20.920
well we're in here now, we can't see it. And

761
01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:27.480
then she says Angler Ruskin and they laugh about ten minutes.

762
01:04:28.519 --> 01:04:30.760
And there's nothing wrong with Angler Ruskin, by the way,

763
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:32.119
it's a really good place.

764
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:32.079
But.

765
01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:39.320
Pretending you're somewhere that you're not. I could go to

766
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:46.320
Anglo Ruskin, but I couldn't go to Cambridge. I could

767
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:50.440
go to Angry Ruskin in Cambridge, potentially, I said I could.

768
01:04:50.440 --> 01:04:52.440
I don't know if I could, but I you know,

769
01:04:52.480 --> 01:05:00.960
I mean, I'm qualified probably enough to go and do that. However,

770
01:05:02.760 --> 01:05:04.800
there's no way on this planet I would get into

771
01:05:04.840 --> 01:05:12.199
Cambridge University because I'm not of that. Ilk I'm not.

772
01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:17.239
I'm not. I'm not in that on that level of education.

773
01:05:17.639 --> 01:05:17.880
Just not.

774
01:05:21.320 --> 01:05:24.440
Oh but Jason, I'm sure you could do it if

775
01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:29.119
you really tried. No, not even if I tried. But

776
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:32.800
if you tried really hard. No, not even if I

777
01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:37.039
gave it at least ten percent, I couldn't. Well, don't

778
01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:40.239
you give it more than ten percent? Because I'm lazy.

779
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:44.559
Where have you been? Have you're not been observing? Okay,

780
01:05:44.719 --> 01:05:55.599
don't got to be rude. You're rude. I think the

781
01:05:55.599 --> 01:06:00.760
next time I did night shift. Oh yeah, So I

782
01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:05.519
went back to London. This is how Chico was. I

783
01:06:05.559 --> 01:06:07.840
went back to the job that I had before in

784
01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:10.679
London that I didn't give them notice. I didn't go back,

785
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:13.079
and I went back to him and said there's any

786
01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:17.960
chance of another job? And I suppose rightly. So they

787
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:24.960
said no, we're full now sorry bye. So just like okay,

788
01:06:27.960 --> 01:06:33.719
and this is January nineteen ninety one. So I'd moved there,

789
01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:41.199
I'd paid rent, probably two weeks in advance or something

790
01:06:41.239 --> 01:06:45.719
like that. I was in this grotty room. I lived

791
01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:49.559
for four years, believe it or not, nearly four years?

792
01:06:49.719 --> 01:06:51.880
Was it all the way through ninety one, ninety two,

793
01:06:52.039 --> 01:06:55.280
ninety three and up to the summer ninety four, so

794
01:06:55.880 --> 01:07:04.679
three and over three and a half years. And there

795
01:07:04.760 --> 01:07:07.880
was this when I moved in, there no central heating,

796
01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:12.159
and there was a little bathroom heater on the wall.

797
01:07:12.519 --> 01:07:14.800
The other side of the room to where I was

798
01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:24.039
my bead was a draft coming in the window, and

799
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:27.519
there was a meter, an electric meter. So I wasn't

800
01:07:27.559 --> 01:07:34.480
even getting that heating for free electric meter fifty pence pieces,

801
01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:44.719
so I pretty much I had that. Eventually it broke,

802
01:07:47.159 --> 01:07:50.480
but it was like a little bathroom. You know, there's ones.

803
01:07:50.679 --> 01:07:53.440
I don't know if they still exist, but I think

804
01:07:53.480 --> 01:07:59.800
it was like two bars and they shouldn't have been

805
01:07:59.840 --> 01:08:05.239
on a bedroom warm. Why would you not have central heating?

806
01:08:05.400 --> 01:08:09.800
I mean, central heating is not a new thing. It

807
01:08:09.840 --> 01:08:13.400
wasn't It wasn't like in nineteen ninety one, or we

808
01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:19.319
don't know that central heating. No, that's that's uh, that's

809
01:08:19.359 --> 01:08:24.159
the devil's work. That is No. If God had wanted

810
01:08:24.159 --> 01:08:30.199
me to be warm, if made me warm, I don't

811
01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:37.640
know what the answer would be. It's like we're supposed

812
01:08:37.680 --> 01:08:39.199
to be cold. That's why we were born in a

813
01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:44.520
cold country. Yes, it builds character. Shivering in your bed

814
01:08:44.840 --> 01:08:50.000
builds character. Yeah, builds an attitude. I'll tell you that's

815
01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:54.600
that's for sure. After decades of that living in places

816
01:08:54.640 --> 01:09:00.399
that we're cold, I won't be cold anymore, So won't

817
01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:03.039
the heating goes on? If it's cold, the heat goes on.

818
01:09:03.640 --> 01:09:06.319
I don't care what time of the year is. I'm

819
01:09:06.319 --> 01:09:11.119
not going to sit here being cold. I know some

820
01:09:11.159 --> 01:09:14.560
people are. No, the heating goes off in March and

821
01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:18.239
he comes back on at the end of September. That's

822
01:09:18.239 --> 01:09:22.039
no heating throughout that whole time, regardless of how cold

823
01:09:22.119 --> 01:09:25.439
it is. I don't do that. I know a lot

824
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:29.880
of people do do that because I've done a survey.

825
01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:33.319
I haven't done a survey, but I've just known a

826
01:09:33.359 --> 01:09:36.640
lot of people that have said that, and they were

827
01:09:36.680 --> 01:09:40.000
literally with his cold put an extra pair, but another

828
01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:41.840
jumper on if it's cold.

829
01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:43.840
No.

830
01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:46.880
The way I say is, I don't put a jumper

831
01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:51.000
on if I'm cold. I put a jumper on if

832
01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:56.000
I'm not warm enough. There's a difference there. To me,

833
01:09:56.960 --> 01:09:59.239
there's a difference between like I've got a little cardigan

834
01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:04.800
on now if I don't have this on. It's a

835
01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:12.920
little bit too cool. It's not cold, it's a little

836
01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:19.199
bit too cool. I'm not shivering, That's what I mean.

837
01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:22.399
I don't put a jumper on and then have cold

838
01:10:22.479 --> 01:10:27.359
hands and a cold face when I'm indoors. I just

839
01:10:27.399 --> 01:10:31.880
don't allow that to happen. Because I had decades of there.

840
01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:36.760
That's why. I mean, even when I was a kid,

841
01:10:36.920 --> 01:10:41.239
it was the same like so really from up to

842
01:10:41.279 --> 01:10:45.920
the age of forty four, so I had forty four

843
01:10:46.039 --> 01:10:50.840
years of living in places that I had no control

844
01:10:50.920 --> 01:10:57.119
over the heating pretty much, forty four years where I

845
01:10:57.199 --> 01:11:02.000
couldn't decide whether or not I can be warm. It's

846
01:11:02.039 --> 01:11:05.960
a long time. So now I have the heating on

847
01:11:07.039 --> 01:11:12.800
all summer. There's like a greenhouse in there. I've got

848
01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:20.399
tomatoes grown out of my ears. It's brilliant. No Phineas

849
01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:24.880
turned into a cactus. No, I don't if the heating

850
01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:28.640
and if it's cold, if it's like a really cold night,

851
01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:32.760
which we do have in this country. We have really

852
01:11:32.800 --> 01:11:35.560
cold nights in the summer. Sometimes if I need the heating,

853
01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:37.119
and I'll put the heating on for a little while.

854
01:11:38.880 --> 01:11:40.720
I got no issue. I mean, most of the summer,

855
01:11:40.760 --> 01:11:43.880
the heating is turned off, like off off, so I

856
01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:47.000
don't leave it on automatics, so it comes on if

857
01:11:47.039 --> 01:11:50.319
it's cold, I'll decide. In the winter, I've got it

858
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:52.920
on automatics, so if it gets below a certain temperature,

859
01:11:53.000 --> 01:11:56.359
it comes on. In the summer, I don't do that.

860
01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:04.399
But sometimes it's cold, just because it's July or June,

861
01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:09.279
which is pretty much the hottest months of the year

862
01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:12.479
in this country, and we have We've had some really

863
01:12:12.520 --> 01:12:20.840
hot days this year, but only I would say, only

864
01:12:20.880 --> 01:12:23.840
a few hot nights. There's been a few nights where

865
01:12:23.880 --> 01:12:31.960
it's been like, oh, a little bit, a little bit stuffy,

866
01:12:33.199 --> 01:12:37.720
but the real heat. I didn't really experience the real

867
01:12:37.840 --> 01:12:42.439
heat at home this year because I was visiting uncle Sausages,

868
01:12:43.239 --> 01:12:47.239
so I experienced the heat as in, you know, going

869
01:12:47.239 --> 01:12:52.119
there in a taxi or on the bus, mainly taxis

870
01:12:52.159 --> 01:12:59.920
to start with, and then but then the like getting

871
01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:02.920
side the hospital and it wasn't warm inside hospital because

872
01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:08.279
there's air conditioning everywhere. It wasn't cold everywhere, but it

873
01:13:08.319 --> 01:13:14.079
wasn't you know, it's definitely a different temperature to being outside.

874
01:13:16.760 --> 01:13:21.439
So I didn't Yeah, I didn't really get the full

875
01:13:21.479 --> 01:13:29.279
extent of the summer because I spent six weeks or

876
01:13:29.279 --> 01:13:33.079
something going backward and forward, so I can't spent most

877
01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:42.119
of the summer pretty much from the end of June

878
01:13:44.279 --> 01:13:50.760
into June. That's it. You come to me, good boy,

879
01:13:51.640 --> 01:13:55.159
good boy. We don't do that too, No, we don't.

880
01:13:55.239 --> 01:13:58.840
We don't bark. Don't bark because you're.

881
01:13:58.720 --> 01:13:59.560
A good boy.

882
01:14:00.199 --> 01:14:01.640
You're not just a good boy, You're.

883
01:14:01.520 --> 01:14:03.199
A clever boy.

884
01:14:03.439 --> 01:14:07.359
You're very clever. You're the most beautiful boy in a

885
01:14:07.520 --> 01:14:09.960
whole way of world. Just why, yes, you are yes,

886
01:14:10.039 --> 01:14:13.079
you are yes. You are yes. You are yes. You

887
01:14:13.159 --> 01:14:15.359
are yes. You are yes.

888
01:14:15.399 --> 01:14:16.600
You are yes, you are.

889
01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:18.000
Yes, you are.

890
01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:38.279
Good boy.

891
01:14:38.520 --> 01:14:41.159
Kind of bark.

892
01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:47.960
Then he's decided he wants to come and sit on

893
01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:51.960
my lap, so he's doing that. He put his poor

894
01:14:52.039 --> 01:14:54.239
app literally to try and get on to my knee,

895
01:14:55.039 --> 01:14:56.880
so he's not let him get on my lap and

896
01:14:56.920 --> 01:14:59.439
he's not trying to get down. So it's clearly where

897
01:14:59.439 --> 01:14:59.920
he wants to be.

898
01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:02.039
Yeah, you happy.

899
01:15:03.560 --> 01:15:09.399
Yeah, I can't rich and I hurt my neck the

900
01:15:09.520 --> 01:15:13.239
other times. So yeah, when I couldn't get that job

901
01:15:14.199 --> 01:15:19.640
in the place. When I moved back to London, I

902
01:15:19.680 --> 01:15:23.840
said to my landlady. I said, oh, excuse me, landlady.

903
01:15:24.279 --> 01:15:30.239
She said, yes, Tenant. I said, I'm not sure what

904
01:15:30.279 --> 01:15:32.199
I'm going to do. She said, what do you mean?

905
01:15:33.079 --> 01:15:34.680
I said, well, you know that job I told you

906
01:15:34.760 --> 01:15:41.479
I had. She said yeah. I said, I lied. There's

907
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:45.279
no job there. There never was. She said, does it

908
01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:49.439
not exist? I said, yeah, it exists, but I just

909
01:15:49.560 --> 01:15:51.880
thought I could go back there. But I was wrong.

910
01:15:53.680 --> 01:15:58.439
I misinformed you. Please forgive me. Can you ever forgive me?

911
01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:03.920
And she said probably not. I said, okay, thanks. She said,

912
01:16:03.960 --> 01:16:05.960
why you thanking me? I just said I won't forgive you.

913
01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:10.960
I said no, but I just it's a new thing

914
01:16:11.000 --> 01:16:13.399
I'm trying out. I'd just like to say thanks to people.

915
01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:16.920
Just stop trying to make new friends, you see. So

916
01:16:16.960 --> 01:16:20.960
if I say thanks to everyone, maybe it will cause

917
01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:24.920
a more peaceful society and catch on and end up

918
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:32.279
with some kind of world stability politically and emotionally. Maybe.

919
01:16:33.880 --> 01:16:35.800
She said, so you didn't get the job. What if

920
01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:40.800
can you pay the rent next week? I said well,

921
01:16:41.880 --> 01:16:45.840
and she said, you're joking me. I said, I wish

922
01:16:45.920 --> 01:16:48.680
I was not very funny joke, is it? She said no.

923
01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:53.079
She said, what you're going to do? I said done. No,

924
01:16:54.039 --> 01:16:55.520
I guess I'm just going to have to move back.

925
01:16:57.479 --> 01:17:00.840
And she said, what would your dad say? I said,

926
01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:04.079
what do you mean? She said nothing, don't worry. I said,

927
01:17:04.079 --> 01:17:05.479
what do you mean, what would my dad say? What

928
01:17:05.520 --> 01:17:11.000
do you know about my dad? She said nothing, and

929
01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:14.279
then she looked away and started humming and whistling, which

930
01:17:14.319 --> 01:17:17.560
I thought quite weird behavior. And I said, have you

931
01:17:17.640 --> 01:17:20.279
spoken to my dad? She said.

932
01:17:21.800 --> 01:17:22.000
No?

933
01:17:23.359 --> 01:17:25.279
I said, come on, have you spoken to my dad?

934
01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:31.319
She said well? I said, come on, did you taken ages?

935
01:17:31.399 --> 01:17:34.439
Have you spoken to my dad? She said yes, I have.

936
01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:40.560
I said how She said, well, when he helped you move?

937
01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:43.560
He said no. I said, wait a minute, he didn't

938
01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:50.960
help me move. Someone else helped me move. Okay, well

939
01:17:50.960 --> 01:17:53.239
you gave him the telephone number for the house, didn't you.

940
01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:58.039
I said, yes? Will you phone me up? Why to

941
01:17:58.119 --> 01:18:01.279
warn me about you? What do you mean, warn you

942
01:18:01.359 --> 01:18:05.000
about me? Just to let me know how annoying you were?

943
01:18:07.319 --> 01:18:13.640
I said, what, that's what it was? Nothing rude, nothing bad.

944
01:18:13.680 --> 01:18:15.920
He just want to let me know, warn me in

945
01:18:16.279 --> 01:18:19.079
you know ahead of time that you're just a bit

946
01:18:19.119 --> 01:18:23.399
of annoying, bit of a pain to live with. I said,

947
01:18:23.479 --> 01:18:25.840
I'm not already living with you, aren't I you're downstairs.

948
01:18:25.920 --> 01:18:30.479
I'm upstairs. I got my own room. She said yeah,

949
01:18:30.479 --> 01:18:33.439
but we have to share a kitchen and a bathroom.

950
01:18:33.680 --> 01:18:38.119
I said yeah, and she said, well he just warned me.

951
01:18:39.520 --> 01:18:42.880
What do you mean warned you? She said, it doesn't matter.

952
01:18:44.319 --> 01:18:47.800
All I can tell you is that you might not

953
01:18:47.880 --> 01:18:51.640
want to tell him you're coming back. What do you

954
01:18:51.720 --> 01:18:56.479
mean tell him I'm going back? Well, I think he's moved.

955
01:18:59.359 --> 01:18:59.760
Moved.

956
01:19:01.119 --> 01:19:03.560
Yeah, he waited till you left and went came back

957
01:19:03.560 --> 01:19:08.640
to London and he moved. Did he give you an address?

958
01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:08.880
No?

959
01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:13.399
And she looked away and started whistling and humming. I said, look,

960
01:19:14.720 --> 01:19:16.319
I kind of figured out that when you do that,

961
01:19:16.359 --> 01:19:22.239
you're lying. And she said, wow, you are clever. I

962
01:19:22.279 --> 01:19:28.199
wasn't sure she's being ssarcastic or not. And I said

963
01:19:28.239 --> 01:19:31.640
to her, well, where's he moved to? She said, I

964
01:19:31.680 --> 01:19:39.920
can't tell. You said, why not swore me to secrecy? Okay,

965
01:19:41.159 --> 01:19:46.640
Well I guess I have to stay here. She said

966
01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:52.239
it's okay, it's okay. Actually, I said why so why?

967
01:19:52.359 --> 01:19:56.000
He said that when you lose your job, he'll pay

968
01:19:56.239 --> 01:19:59.600
for the first month and then I can kick you

969
01:19:59.680 --> 01:20:05.560
out if you haven't found anything. So you're telling me

970
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:10.279
that you're going to be phoning them up tomorrow or

971
01:20:10.319 --> 01:20:12.520
whatever to let him know that I haven't gotten myself

972
01:20:12.560 --> 01:20:15.520
a job, so that he pays rent for the next month.

973
01:20:16.640 --> 01:20:21.000
She said no, I said, good, said no, I've already

974
01:20:21.039 --> 01:20:25.159
spoke to him. He's already sent the money. He's sent

975
01:20:25.239 --> 01:20:34.880
a check. He's going to be here tomorrow probably, I love.

976
01:20:35.399 --> 01:20:38.119
So you've basically he's sent you one hundred and sixty pounds.

977
01:20:38.920 --> 01:20:41.399
She said, yeah, it's forty pounds a week back then.

978
01:20:43.479 --> 01:20:45.000
And she said it's that why there was such a

979
01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:47.239
pause between you talking just then, because you have to

980
01:20:47.239 --> 01:20:50.520
try and add it up in your head. I said, yeah.

981
01:20:51.119 --> 01:20:53.520
I was going to say one hundred and twenty, and

982
01:20:53.560 --> 01:20:57.640
then I realized that's three fours, So I thought, how

983
01:20:57.680 --> 01:21:02.399
else can I work it out? And I realized, if

984
01:21:02.399 --> 01:21:06.840
I do eighty times by two, one hundred and sixty,

985
01:21:07.720 --> 01:21:12.319
She said yeah. I said thanks. She said, yeah, I

986
01:21:12.359 --> 01:21:16.279
wasn't really congratulating you. I'm just you know, acknowledging and

987
01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:21.439
what you said. And I said to her, look, instead

988
01:21:21.439 --> 01:21:24.079
of just being a little bit gnarly, a little bit

989
01:21:25.800 --> 01:21:28.439
a little bit you know, looking down at me a

990
01:21:28.439 --> 01:21:36.520
little bit judgmental. Perhaps you could be helpful, caring kind baby.

991
01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:50.039
He just gives me kisses, gives me kisses. And she said, well, okay,

992
01:21:50.039 --> 01:21:53.159
I suppose I could try and help. I said that'd

993
01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:57.479
be nice. She said, are you any good at cleaning toilets?

994
01:21:57.600 --> 01:22:02.000
I said what? She said, I could give you like

995
01:22:02.119 --> 01:22:04.960
two pound discount a week if you clean the bog?

996
01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:09.239
Said no, one's called it a bog for years. She said,

997
01:22:09.279 --> 01:22:11.600
I do. I love calling it a bog. Makes it

998
01:22:11.640 --> 01:22:16.079
feel really down to earth. Should we call it a toilet?

999
01:22:16.119 --> 01:22:21.159
And she said, no, one call it a bog. And

1000
01:22:21.319 --> 01:22:24.079
I was like, okay, fair enough, but no, I said,

1001
01:22:24.079 --> 01:22:29.239
I'm not cleaning the toilet two pound. How's that going

1002
01:22:29.279 --> 01:22:32.000
to make a difference to my rent? Just two pounds

1003
01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:35.439
off a week of off of forty? She said, well,

1004
01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:40.119
I mean you'll onne, you know, thirty eight pound. It

1005
01:22:40.239 --> 01:22:43.640
wasn't a literal question. I know it leave me with

1006
01:22:43.680 --> 01:22:47.319
thirty eight pounds to pay. She said, well, that's what

1007
01:22:47.359 --> 01:22:53.439
you just asked me. And obviously I'd done her accent

1008
01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:55.800
different because she was Italian, so she had a very

1009
01:22:56.199 --> 01:22:59.880
very strong Italian accent. But I didn't do her accent.

1010
01:23:02.399 --> 01:23:07.359
I hope you're pleased. I hope, I hope you appreciate.

1011
01:23:09.039 --> 01:23:09.119
Me.

1012
01:23:10.479 --> 01:23:20.479
Thank you very much. Yeah, and what else. Yeah, anyway,

1013
01:23:20.640 --> 01:23:24.439
she came through and she gave me a shower. Jason

1014
01:23:25.439 --> 01:23:30.479
Jason Jackson. So I go down and I said, yeah,

1015
01:23:31.359 --> 01:23:36.800
she said, come down the stairs please. So I went

1016
01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:43.399
downstairs and there was this other lady there and I said,

1017
01:23:44.119 --> 01:23:49.680
I said, and I said, yeah, and this is my friend, Canterbella.

1018
01:23:50.119 --> 01:23:56.640
I said, she wants her to talk to you. I said, okay,

1019
01:23:56.640 --> 01:23:58.399
fair enough, so I'm talking to her.

1020
01:23:59.239 --> 01:23:59.960
She ends up.

1021
01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:02.960
It ends up that she's the HR. She's in charge

1022
01:24:02.960 --> 01:24:08.039
of the HR department in a bakery, huge bakery in London,

1023
01:24:08.479 --> 01:24:12.960
East London. And she said to me there's a job

1024
01:24:13.039 --> 01:24:16.800
going in the canteen and you can work there or

1025
01:24:16.840 --> 01:24:21.920
you can apply to it there. I said, okay, told

1026
01:24:21.920 --> 01:24:27.079
me the hours, told me the wages, and so she

1027
01:24:27.239 --> 01:24:29.079
was helping me out. But she was helping a friend

1028
01:24:29.079 --> 01:24:30.760
out so that she got a rent but at the

1029
01:24:30.760 --> 01:24:34.760
same time helping me out. And I went along for

1030
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:39.119
the job interview, got the job. Turned out the chef

1031
01:24:39.279 --> 01:24:41.600
who was in charge of the kitchen didn't have a

1032
01:24:41.680 --> 01:24:43.720
choice about whether I worked there or not. And he

1033
01:24:43.800 --> 01:24:46.920
told me he wouldn't have employed me, which is nice,

1034
01:24:47.079 --> 01:24:49.600
how lovely, And that told me that he told me

1035
01:24:49.640 --> 01:24:54.880
that after we'd become friends. Yeah, he still he liked

1036
01:24:54.920 --> 01:24:56.359
me at that point when he said he wouldn't have

1037
01:24:56.399 --> 01:25:00.840
employed me, and he still wouldn't, so hey, nice. And

1038
01:25:00.960 --> 01:25:04.279
he sold me a dodgy video player that didn't work,

1039
01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:10.560
but I've forgiven him twenty five pounds that cost me.

1040
01:25:13.239 --> 01:25:18.359
Didn't get that money back while life. How could you

1041
01:25:18.439 --> 01:25:24.479
do that to someone? Admittedly, he'd stopped working there, so

1042
01:25:24.600 --> 01:25:27.079
he'd left, and I was still working at the factory,

1043
01:25:27.960 --> 01:25:30.439
so he Yeah, I guess he was just trying to

1044
01:25:30.439 --> 01:25:33.119
make a little bit of money in that, but it

1045
01:25:33.199 --> 01:25:38.680
seemed a bit rude. So vinn he's still lying on

1046
01:25:38.720 --> 01:25:43.840
my lap and cuddling up to me. Normally it might

1047
01:25:43.880 --> 01:25:45.520
do it and on hold him. Then I want to

1048
01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:48.000
get down, but he doesn't want to get down. He

1049
01:25:48.119 --> 01:25:55.000
seems happy to just be cuddling. It's weird. It's almost

1050
01:25:55.039 --> 01:26:02.159
like he's become an affectionate, turning into a dog, like

1051
01:26:02.279 --> 01:26:10.079
a nice friendly donkey. Hey, I don't understand, but anyway,

1052
01:26:10.159 --> 01:26:15.800
I ended up working after that I worked in the

1053
01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:20.960
actual factory, the bakery itself, not the canteen, and I

1054
01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:35.600
was doing what was I doing. I was doing all

1055
01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:40.479
kinds of shifts, including night shift, So yeah, I did

1056
01:26:40.520 --> 01:26:45.680
a nice Was I doing night shift? Yeah, I'm pretty

1057
01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:49.319
certain I was doing night shift, and then sometimes a

1058
01:26:49.439 --> 01:26:56.520
night shift led me to do days as well. Yeah

1059
01:26:56.560 --> 01:26:59.279
that yeah, so that it was kind of all over

1060
01:26:59.279 --> 01:27:02.800
the place. But that's my second night shift job. My

1061
01:27:03.000 --> 01:27:10.119
third night shift job would be working in security in

1062
01:27:10.239 --> 01:27:24.000
nineteen ninety six, and I had one, two, three, four.

1063
01:27:29.399 --> 01:27:29.760
Five.

1064
01:27:37.039 --> 01:27:39.880
I'm just trying to think at least five different places

1065
01:27:39.920 --> 01:27:43.800
that I did night shift on. I did they shift

1066
01:27:43.840 --> 01:27:54.039
on a few places, but predominantly night shift. I don't

1067
01:27:54.079 --> 01:27:56.479
think I did nice shift again after that. I think

1068
01:27:56.479 --> 01:27:58.640
that was it. That was the last time I did

1069
01:27:58.800 --> 01:28:06.239
nice shift. But I did that for a while. It

1070
01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:11.039
was okay if there was people around, If I was

1071
01:28:11.079 --> 01:28:14.039
on my own the whole time, I'd end up having

1072
01:28:14.079 --> 01:28:17.720
to go to sleep, even though I was sleeping during

1073
01:28:17.720 --> 01:28:20.680
the day. Now, the problem is back then there was

1074
01:28:20.720 --> 01:28:24.479
no internet, nothing that was reading. But I struggled to

1075
01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:28.119
read when I was tired that night. But I could

1076
01:28:28.119 --> 01:28:30.880
have built websites and stuff, And you know, if it

1077
01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:34.439
had been ten years later, I could have really made

1078
01:28:34.560 --> 01:28:44.680
use of that time. Let me just have a look

1079
01:28:44.720 --> 01:28:51.520
and see what the I was supposed to be talking

1080
01:28:51.560 --> 01:28:55.479
about longest days and shortest days, And I'll be honest,

1081
01:28:56.319 --> 01:29:01.880
I've lost interest in that. Never mind, So thank you

1082
01:29:01.920 --> 01:29:04.960
for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself, because you

1083
01:29:05.039 --> 01:29:08.279
do deserve to be happy and be gentle with yourself.

1084
01:29:09.000 --> 01:29:12.800
You deserve to feel safe, lots of love.

1085
01:29:15.359 --> 01:29:15.680
Bye.

1086
01:29:23.159 --> 01:29:37.760
Relax in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in

1087
01:29:37.800 --> 01:29:43.359
a way that can not just allow you to feel

1088
01:29:44.680 --> 01:29:53.960
calmer now and throughout the time we've spend together here,

1089
01:29:55.960 --> 01:30:01.920
not just relaxed the end of the recording when it's

1090
01:30:02.000 --> 01:30:09.159
finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace,

1091
01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:26.720
but also I think it would be nice to have

1092
01:30:27.199 --> 01:30:44.239
those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after the recording

1093
01:30:44.279 --> 01:30:57.760
has ended, so that you can still benefit from listening

1094
01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:07.560
to my voice, maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow,

1095
01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:21.439
and then by listening regularly, especially if you find like

1096
01:31:21.560 --> 01:31:25.439
some people do and myself as well, sometimes I find

1097
01:31:25.520 --> 01:31:35.840
one particular recording that really resonates with me, and I

1098
01:31:36.039 --> 01:31:41.000
just listen to it over and over again every morning

1099
01:31:41.039 --> 01:31:53.560
and every evening. There was this recording from We're going

1100
01:31:53.560 --> 01:31:59.159
back to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but

1101
01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:04.439
it was a guy did visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,

1102
01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:12.119
and I managed to find it again, and it still

1103
01:32:12.199 --> 01:32:17.800
has the same effect on me. And part of it

1104
01:32:17.960 --> 01:32:32.760
was the person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful,

1105
01:32:34.800 --> 01:32:41.279
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

1106
01:32:41.359 --> 01:32:52.079
morning and in the evening, and I knew before even

1107
01:32:52.800 --> 01:32:59.960
pressing the play button that as soon as I'd done that,

1108
01:33:00.960 --> 01:33:04.399
pressed the play button. This is in the days of

1109
01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:18.680
CD players, pressed the play button. I fact, it might

1110
01:33:18.680 --> 01:33:23.000
have even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down

1111
01:33:23.039 --> 01:33:35.640
on the bed and then even without necessarily listening to

1112
01:33:35.840 --> 01:33:49.000
her words because I had them memorized. Really, it was

1113
01:33:49.000 --> 01:33:59.680
as if my body knew exactly what to do, and

1114
01:33:59.760 --> 01:34:21.600
the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I

1115
01:34:21.640 --> 01:34:35.279
remember my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was

1116
01:34:35.800 --> 01:34:43.079
listening to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,

1117
01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:53.439
and long before I ever made any videos or audio

1118
01:34:53.479 --> 01:34:58.279
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two

1119
01:34:58.279 --> 01:35:17.560
thousand and six. I knew. I knew how helpful I

1120
01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:28.000
found being able to just let go, to have that

1121
01:35:28.359 --> 01:35:40.960
trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing that

1122
01:35:41.039 --> 01:35:49.359
it's going to be just as relaxing, if not more so.

1123
01:35:52.039 --> 01:35:59.000
Each time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

1124
01:36:05.359 --> 01:36:19.960
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,

1125
01:36:20.800 --> 01:36:25.640
maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

1126
01:36:26.560 --> 01:36:33.079
but maybe people come back. Some people may be listen

1127
01:36:33.159 --> 01:36:49.760
every day. That's something that I do which you may

1128
01:36:49.880 --> 01:37:10.800
not realize by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now,

1129
01:37:10.960 --> 01:37:23.520
for example, I also am affected by the words that

1130
01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:35.800
I say. So if I set you focus on your feet,

1131
01:37:38.319 --> 01:37:46.039
notice your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1132
01:37:50.960 --> 01:38:08.319
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

1133
01:38:08.479 --> 01:38:16.159
focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between

1134
01:38:16.199 --> 01:38:27.119
each hand, perhaps notice the air in the room, the

1135
01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:31.800
temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.

1136
01:38:39.600 --> 01:38:43.479
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

1137
01:38:43.640 --> 01:38:51.680
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1138
01:38:52.079 --> 01:38:57.000
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

1139
01:39:05.199 --> 01:39:15.800
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

1140
01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:44.359
aware of how relaxed my hands, our feeling now and

1141
01:39:44.520 --> 01:39:51.439
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

1142
01:39:51.520 --> 01:40:05.800
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

1143
01:40:07.880 --> 01:40:21.359
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

1144
01:40:29.239 --> 01:40:41.840
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing.

1145
01:40:46.720 --> 01:40:55.840
And then I carry on talking. And it's only where

1146
01:40:56.159 --> 01:41:05.239
I listen back to do the editing, and I hear snoring,

1147
01:41:07.159 --> 01:41:14.439
and I think I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

1148
01:41:17.239 --> 01:41:24.520
The snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I

1149
01:41:24.600 --> 01:41:32.720
sound like when I snare, how I get really into

1150
01:41:32.800 --> 01:41:52.159
the whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How

1151
01:41:52.279 --> 01:42:02.479
relaxed do you feel in your feet, how relaxed you

1152
01:42:02.680 --> 01:42:23.960
feel in your hands. I have noticed more and more

1153
01:42:29.880 --> 01:42:42.640
that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,

1154
01:42:46.199 --> 01:43:02.359
the easier your breathing becomes almost like the at additional

1155
01:43:05.520 --> 01:43:28.920
muscle relaxation. So this allows you debreath easier without necessarily

1156
01:43:31.720 --> 01:43:59.720
focusing on your breath. However, being able to notice the

1157
01:43:59.760 --> 01:44:29.720
ease in which he breathe so naturally, he breeve so

1158
01:44:30.039 --> 01:45:13.319
very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving,

1159
01:45:19.039 --> 01:45:32.399
when I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize

1160
01:45:34.479 --> 01:45:48.840
a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that

1161
01:45:50.920 --> 01:46:23.680
life giving oxygen. It feels nice to, if nothing else,

1162
01:46:26.880 --> 01:47:00.960
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling

1163
01:47:01.359 --> 01:47:52.000
of peace, serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to

1164
01:47:52.159 --> 01:48:38.119
just drip by, very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful, completely

1165
01:48:44.000 --> 01:49:43.800
unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

1166
01:49:46.479 --> 01:50:37.840
noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because

1167
01:50:38.000 --> 01:51:06.600
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical

1168
01:51:06.920 --> 01:51:18.600
sensations of allowing the stress to drip out of your body,

1169
01:51:25.119 --> 01:51:48.760
dripping out of every part of your body and being

1170
01:51:49.279 --> 01:52:27.920
released from your brain, lounge your mind slowly but surely.

1203
02:12:24.239 --> 02:12:58.920
your body, just to notice your forehead and your eyes.

1204
02:13:31.880 --> 02:14:04.520

So relaxed.

1213
02:22:27.479 --> 02:23:00.840
Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed and peaceful, so.

1214
02:23:08.520 --> 02:23:50.879
Peaceful, right like God's peaceful.

1215
02:23:56.079 --> 02:23:57.479
So fair.

1216
02:24:08.360 --> 02:24:14.639
And you could start to notice that you are feeling

1217
02:24:15.000 --> 02:24:26.239
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind

1218
02:24:27.200 --> 02:24:34.760
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

1219
02:24:34.840 --> 02:24:44.040
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,

1220
02:24:48.959 --> 02:24:56.239
and that could be almost in recognition of I guess

1221
02:24:56.520 --> 02:25:09.079
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally

1222
02:25:10.719 --> 02:25:21.760
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

1223
02:25:21.799 --> 02:25:28.719
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

1224
02:25:30.840 --> 02:25:38.399
take a break from your life as it is, and

1225
02:25:38.479 --> 02:25:46.239
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

1226
02:25:46.319 --> 02:25:51.920
some time off, and to allow your body to relax

1227
02:25:53.600 --> 02:26:01.760
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

1228
02:26:04.159 --> 02:26:15.000
releases the tension any stresses that you had in your body.

1229
02:26:15.719 --> 02:26:19.639
It's almost as if the parts of your body just

1230
02:26:19.879 --> 02:26:31.639
open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same

1231
02:26:31.719 --> 02:26:43.040
time replacing that negativity with positive healing energy, which then

1232
02:26:43.200 --> 02:26:52.479
fills your body up and your mind to also starts

1233
02:26:52.520 --> 02:27:07.600
to appreciate those feelings of increase in confidence and almost

1234
02:27:08.280 --> 02:27:24.559
uplifting feeling positive healing, an energy that spreads through your

1235
02:27:24.600 --> 02:27:35.799
body like a wave of comfort. And all this comes

1236
02:27:35.920 --> 02:27:47.959
from just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour,

1237
02:27:48.440 --> 02:27:58.639
however long you want it to be, just rest and

1238
02:27:58.799 --> 02:28:08.840
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself

1239
02:28:11.680 --> 02:28:27.440
to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows

1240
02:28:27.799 --> 02:28:40.559
more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move

1241
02:28:41.079 --> 02:28:49.879
around your body and into your mind, almost as if

1242
02:28:49.920 --> 02:28:59.680
your mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring

1243
02:29:00.520 --> 02:29:13.440
each other with that growing positivity and calmness. And it

1244
02:29:13.479 --> 02:29:21.319
feels nice, really does feel nice to know that you

1245
02:29:22.600 --> 02:29:31.159
are the one that has allowed yourself to feel more

1246
02:29:32.440 --> 02:29:39.200
comfort and to experience.

1247
02:29:40.799 --> 02:29:42.120
More of this.

1248
02:29:43.719 --> 02:29:59.399
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1249
02:30:00.479 --> 02:30:06.719
on each part of your body, you can notice that.

1250
02:30:06.440 --> 02:30:07.399
That part.

1251
02:30:11.079 --> 02:30:23.520
Becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it. It

1252
02:30:23.680 --> 02:30:37.280
becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing and

1253
02:30:37.440 --> 02:30:43.360
as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1254
02:30:45.680 --> 02:30:50.920
the parts that you have already focused on or continue

1255
02:30:52.319 --> 02:31:00.479
to relax deeply, and those parts that with not yet focus, stunt,

1256
02:31:02.600 --> 02:31:14.040
or just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation of

1257
02:31:14.280 --> 02:31:18.680
even more comfort about to come.

1258
02:31:24.159 --> 02:31:24.559
Now.

1259
02:31:26.719 --> 02:31:32.959
I'm going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just

1260
02:31:33.120 --> 02:31:42.239
being aware the feelings of your forehead and any background

1261
02:31:42.440 --> 02:31:49.360
sounds like mister Herbert o Pigeon can just allow you

1262
02:31:49.520 --> 02:31:57.000
to feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1263
02:32:00.120 --> 02:32:05.520
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1264
02:32:08.920 --> 02:32:14.959
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1265
02:32:15.479 --> 02:32:26.000
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1266
02:32:26.239 --> 02:32:34.559
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as your focus

1267
02:32:36.319 --> 02:32:42.600
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1268
02:32:46.000 --> 02:32:54.319
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1269
02:32:56.760 --> 02:33:06.719
how to feel so heavy yet so light at the

1270
02:33:06.760 --> 02:33:16.479
same time, and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely.

1271
02:33:21.159 --> 02:33:28.840
Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1272
02:33:30.040 --> 02:33:38.000
your teeth, you comes the hole of your mouth relaxing

1273
02:33:41.479 --> 02:33:51.799
calm and loose as you focus now on your jaw,

1274
02:33:55.159 --> 02:33:59.840
just a part of your jaw near your mouth, your chin,

1275
02:34:01.319 --> 02:34:05.479
all the way up the size of your face to

1276
02:34:05.559 --> 02:34:20.159
your ears, the hole of your jaw, feeling more relaxed.

1277
02:34:23.360 --> 02:34:32.079
And calm.

1278
02:34:32.440 --> 02:34:41.559
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck, and

1279
02:34:41.600 --> 02:34:54.639
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of

1280
02:34:54.719 --> 02:35:00.159
your neck, the right and left side of your neck.

1281
02:35:02.959 --> 02:35:18.760
Relax and please and calm.

1282
02:35:17.520 --> 02:35:24.559
Now the back of your neck, focusing on the back

1283
02:35:24.719 --> 02:35:35.000
of your neck, letting go of any tension that may

1284
02:35:35.040 --> 02:35:45.600
have been there before, and enjoying that sense of increasing

1285
02:35:47.159 --> 02:35:55.760
comfort and release. Then you can experience in the back

1286
02:35:55.799 --> 02:36:08.360
of your neck, moving down your back and moving either

1287
02:36:08.520 --> 02:36:12.479
side of your spine right from the top of.

1288
02:36:12.440 --> 02:36:13.239
Your back.

1289
02:36:14.920 --> 02:36:18.600
All the way down to the bottom of your back,

1290
02:36:24.600 --> 02:36:36.120
down to your lower back. As you move up and

1291
02:36:36.159 --> 02:36:45.239
down your spine, you can feel the muscles either side

1292
02:36:45.239 --> 02:36:59.840
of your spine relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax,

1293
02:37:02.120 --> 02:37:10.079
that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards from your

1294
02:37:10.120 --> 02:37:19.680
spine into both sides of your back, the top of

1295
02:37:19.719 --> 02:37:26.680
your back, the middle and your lower back. And as

1296
02:37:26.719 --> 02:37:34.239
you scan gently and slowly up and down your back.

1297
02:37:36.600 --> 02:37:40.959
There's the muscles in the top of your back relax

1298
02:37:41.479 --> 02:37:49.120
and become looser. The muscles in the middle of your

1299
02:37:49.159 --> 02:37:56.639
back also seem to just almost divide from each other,

1300
02:37:57.559 --> 02:38:13.879
separating and almost melting. And in your lower back there

1301
02:38:13.879 --> 02:38:26.559
seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort that

1302
02:38:26.920 --> 02:38:33.200
spreads into your hips. Sit down your lower back, into

1303
02:38:33.280 --> 02:38:44.600
your hips, into the area where your cosis are, and

1304
02:38:44.719 --> 02:38:53.559
into your buttocks, and all those muscles that spread in

1305
02:38:53.719 --> 02:39:03.200
your lower back into your hip area start to melt,

1306
02:39:07.680 --> 02:39:20.200
start to reading, let go, and even knowing about to

1307
02:39:20.639 --> 02:39:27.440
focus on your shoulders, your back and your spy will

1308
02:39:27.440 --> 02:39:37.559
continue to let go, continue to relax.

1309
02:39:40.360 --> 02:39:43.959
So calmly.

1310
02:39:48.680 --> 02:39:54.239
As you focus on your shoulders, you may notice they're

1311
02:39:54.479 --> 02:40:30.680
already feeling really loose, already feeding calm. Feel those muscles

1312
02:40:33.440 --> 02:40:45.799
then move from your neck into your shoulders. Feel so

1313
02:40:45.799 --> 02:41:14.840
soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and the feeling

1314
02:41:14.959 --> 02:41:27.879
in your shoulders seems to spread deep into your shoulders,

1315
02:41:29.879 --> 02:41:39.159
a sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply into your muscles,

1316
02:41:42.600 --> 02:41:55.840
but also relaxing the bones and moving all away to

1317
02:41:56.040 --> 02:42:05.040
underneath your arms, relaxing a whole area between the tops

1318
02:42:05.079 --> 02:42:19.559
of your shoulders and underneath your arms healing. You feel

1319
02:42:19.680 --> 02:42:33.239
so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sense that.

1320
02:42:35.440 --> 02:42:37.520
Deep healing.

1321
02:42:40.440 --> 02:42:57.959
Message into your arms. You may feel almost as if

1322
02:42:58.040 --> 02:43:04.559
your arms are not even there, because the sun relaxed,

1323
02:43:07.760 --> 02:43:53.079
so deeply relaxed, so so calm.

1324
02:43:38.680 --> 02:43:59.399
So nice. The feeling spread in all the way down

1325
02:43:59.559 --> 02:44:29.600
your odds. Two elbows, including your elbows circumfort spreads bore away.

1326
02:44:31.959 --> 02:44:51.280
Into rists, your forearments under wrists so heavy. It's at

1327
02:44:51.399 --> 02:45:07.040
the same time sunlight and gentle.

1328
02:45:31.159 --> 02:45:35.760
For sent Now on.

1329
02:45:38.079 --> 02:46:02.200
Your hands, my hands.

1330
02:46:08.000 --> 02:46:37.600
So peaceful in your hands with the sense of real pace,

1331
02:46:49.639 --> 02:47:15.680
just seems to feel sh familiar hands relax deeply. Else

1332
02:47:33.239 --> 02:48:35.280
the thing is.

1333
02:48:06.719 --> 02:49:13.879
Things sadles. You think that tips moving your attention left front,

1334
02:49:14.280 --> 02:50:21.399

1335
02:50:28.360 --> 02:51:09.079
lad let muscles in your thighs.

1336
02:51:24.959 --> 02:53:57.680
And knees. I relaxed, let your cough muscles just sasses.

Peace fall re sener peace fall.

1340
02:55:40.559 --> 02:56:22.559
Circlm ive that deep relaxation, The spread ther chested story.

1341
02:56:10.360 --> 02:56:29.159
Let you go everything. So I'm gonna start counting down

1342
02:56:29.239 --> 02:56:40.719
now from twenty down to one. You can imagine in

1343
02:56:40.760 --> 02:56:46.319
a way, it's like just walking down some steps and

1344
02:56:46.440 --> 02:56:52.000
each step or twenty steps, and each step represents a

1345
02:56:52.200 --> 02:57:05.799
level of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of that comfort,

1346
02:57:12.399 --> 02:57:18.120
and the firvies you walk down those steps, that deeper

1347
02:57:18.520 --> 02:57:36.319
and more relaxed you feel. So starting with number twenty

1348
02:57:41.000 --> 03:03:01.319
twenty nineteen eighteen seven Jane sixteen three four four two

1349
03:04:07.600 --> 03:08:27.280
two to do nohh eight.

1350
03:09:26.159 --> 03:10:06.040
SI the US.

1351
03:11:03.760 --> 03:12:19.799
Six five.

1352
03:13:38.360 --> 03:15:19.520
Four US.

1353
03:16:08.440 --> 03:16:45.600
USA.

1354
03:18:06.559 --> 03:18:23.559
And now as you focus on your eyes, we're gonna

1355
03:18:23.600 --> 03:18:35.079
count down from ten down to one, focusing just on

1356
03:18:35.200 --> 03:18:46.200
your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your

1357
03:18:46.239 --> 03:19:05.399
eye walls themselves, a whole area that makes up your eye.

1358
03:19:06.200 --> 03:19:14.280
And as we count down ten down to one, as

1359
03:19:14.639 --> 03:19:27.959
focus in on your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed.

1360
03:19:30.200 --> 03:19:43.280
With each number counting down that you may find the

1361
03:19:43.399 --> 03:19:49.920
all you want to do is just drift off to sleep.

1362
03:19:52.840 --> 03:19:59.520
And if that's what you want, then just allow yourself

1363
03:19:59.559 --> 03:20:14.280
to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, you're going

1364
03:20:14.319 --> 03:20:24.440
to begin counting down from ten down to one. Right now,

1365
03:20:32.840 --> 03:26:57.040
ten nine eight seven f four three.

1366
03:27:12.479 --> 03:29:30.920
Us one.

1367
03:29:37.200 --> 03:29:47.200
So count and down from ten to.

1368
03:29:47.239 --> 03:29:50.040
One ten.

1369
03:29:51.639 --> 03:30:12.559
Nine, eight seven six five four three two.

1370
03:30:13.559 --> 03:30:19.520
One.

1371
03:30:20.799 --> 03:30:23.719
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1372
03:30:23.760 --> 03:30:27.719
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1373
03:30:28.000 --> 03:30:37.760
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1374
03:30:37.760 --> 03:30:41.639
little bit of pressure there, like you're counting down from

1375
03:30:41.680 --> 03:30:44.479
ten to one. Would you expect me to do? Man,

1376
03:30:45.280 --> 03:30:48.760
expect me to just to go with floppy just because

1377
03:30:48.799 --> 03:30:58.000
you're counting down. You could try it again, but this

1378
03:30:58.200 --> 03:31:03.840
time I'll go a bit slower this time that you

1379
03:31:04.079 --> 03:31:09.399
focus on the whole of your body before we focus

1380
03:31:09.440 --> 03:31:10.239
on your legs.

1381
03:31:12.559 --> 03:31:13.799
Just notice.

1382
03:31:14.879 --> 03:31:27.680
How your body does start to feel more relaxed with

1383
03:31:28.920 --> 03:31:47.280
every number that I count down ten nine at eight

1384
03:31:52.600 --> 03:32:22.280
seven six five four.

1385
03:32:29.280 --> 03:33:17.799
Three one, And just notice how.

1386
03:33:19.680 --> 03:33:29.239
How you feel generally, how your body feels. It's not

1387
03:33:29.319 --> 03:33:40.319
necessarily even about counting down from ten to one. It's

1388
03:33:40.399 --> 03:33:57.600
that space that you have, that space between being active

1389
03:34:00.000 --> 03:34:09.479
physically or mentally to just sitting or lying down, just

1390
03:34:09.680 --> 03:34:15.600
being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing

1391
03:34:15.799 --> 03:34:21.319
to think about anything. So it opens up a space,

1392
03:34:22.280 --> 03:34:31.440
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And

1393
03:34:31.520 --> 03:34:36.159
the more I came down from ten to one, the

1394
03:34:36.200 --> 03:34:44.239
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

1395
03:34:45.559 --> 03:35:01.719
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling and it moves

1396
03:35:02.799 --> 03:35:12.760
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.

1397
03:35:19.520 --> 03:35:20.520
Allows you.

1398
03:35:23.200 --> 03:35:23.760
To just.

1399
03:35:26.680 --> 03:35:33.000
Slow down, someone to count the game from ten down

1400
03:35:33.040 --> 03:35:43.079
to one and notice that gap widening, the gap, And

1401
03:35:43.159 --> 03:35:47.600
as it widens, it's almost like that the stress and

1402
03:35:47.719 --> 03:36:08.639
attention falls into the gap. Give you that distance, that space.

1403
03:36:10.479 --> 03:36:16.000
Now ten.

1404
03:36:20.280 --> 03:38:11.799
Nine, eight, seven, six, five four three.

1405
03:38:05.040 --> 03:38:07.399
One.

1406
03:38:16.760 --> 03:38:21.239
Now, how does your body feel.

1407
03:38:23.120 --> 03:38:24.040
Now?

1408
03:38:36.040 --> 03:38:48.680
Can you notice that? Do you feeling calmer, the feeling

1409
03:38:51.040 --> 03:39:18.520
more relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just

1410
03:39:18.600 --> 03:39:40.079
your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs.

1411
03:39:54.760 --> 03:39:59.079
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be done.

1412
03:40:00.000 --> 03:40:06.479
I'm sure, like most of your body is not a

1413
03:40:06.479 --> 03:40:18.920
lot going on right now, Just focusing on the whole

1414
03:40:19.000 --> 03:40:25.520
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

1415
03:40:25.559 --> 03:40:32.639
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

1416
03:40:32.639 --> 03:40:37.559
and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh

1417
03:40:37.680 --> 03:40:46.479
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

1418
03:40:46.680 --> 03:41:00.719
your knee joints. Now, this is a big area, it's

1419
03:41:00.719 --> 03:41:06.280
a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the strongest

1420
03:41:07.200 --> 03:41:20.440
muscles in your body or in your thighs. But I

1421
03:41:20.479 --> 03:41:28.879
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1422
03:41:34.719 --> 03:41:45.520
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1423
03:41:45.639 --> 03:42:06.319
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

1424
03:42:06.360 --> 03:42:16.840
through our lives. And it may seem sound really weird,

1425
03:42:16.920 --> 03:42:25.399
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

1426
03:42:25.399 --> 03:42:33.079
our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,

1427
03:42:34.040 --> 03:42:52.840
a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for our thighs

1428
03:42:53.040 --> 03:43:01.920
do for us. And I know this may sound a

1429
03:43:01.920 --> 03:43:08.600
bit strange. Maybe think why am I shure? How should

1430
03:43:08.639 --> 03:43:13.520
be out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Wow,

1431
03:43:17.639 --> 03:43:20.079
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.

1432
03:43:20.959 --> 03:43:23.239
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

1433
03:43:23.239 --> 03:43:27.200
outside hugging a tree. I can't see the television from

1434
03:43:27.200 --> 03:43:37.799
the tree. If you move down to your knees, gain

1435
03:43:38.079 --> 03:43:46.280
such an important part. And I think we don't necessarily

1436
03:43:47.680 --> 03:43:55.399
I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all

1437
03:43:55.440 --> 03:44:00.479
that my knees do for me until I have a

1438
03:44:00.520 --> 03:44:05.639
problem with my knee. It's occasionally if I ever maybe

1439
03:44:05.639 --> 03:44:11.239
i'll bash it or it's aching for some reason. It's

1440
03:44:11.520 --> 03:44:17.319
then that I realize how much it does. You know,

1441
03:44:17.360 --> 03:44:23.360
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1442
03:44:25.079 --> 03:44:32.360
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's

1443
03:44:32.520 --> 03:44:40.959
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.

1444
03:44:45.040 --> 03:44:49.680
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1445
03:44:49.719 --> 03:44:57.239
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude

1446
03:44:58.760 --> 03:45:01.399
and love to your knee for all that they do

1447
03:45:01.520 --> 03:45:14.559
for you. And you can still have that attention on

1448
03:45:14.680 --> 03:45:20.920
your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe

1449
03:45:21.159 --> 03:45:38.600
you've noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as you

1450
03:45:38.719 --> 03:45:44.079
focus now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins

1451
03:45:44.799 --> 03:45:51.319
and your calf muscles, the bones between your knees and

1452
03:45:51.440 --> 03:46:04.680
your feet, incorporating of course, your ankles so important. You know,

1453
03:46:04.680 --> 03:46:09.479
anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain of an

1454
03:46:09.520 --> 03:46:17.639
ankle knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

1455
03:46:23.520 --> 03:46:25.559
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

1456
03:46:25.600 --> 03:46:31.200
think that you know logically, our wrists are a lot

1457
03:46:31.360 --> 03:46:36.239
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1458
03:46:36.319 --> 03:46:40.000
it doesn't I can't see any problem with that because

1459
03:46:40.000 --> 03:46:46.799
we're just picking stuff up. Our ankles so much thinner

1460
03:46:47.959 --> 03:46:56.559
than the rest of our legs, and from a physics

1461
03:46:56.600 --> 03:47:02.360
perspective or logical even it doesn't really makes sense that

1462
03:47:02.479 --> 03:47:10.280
all this weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles

1463
03:47:11.319 --> 03:47:24.719
then leading to your feet. That thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

1464
03:47:24.799 --> 03:47:30.559
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1465
03:47:30.600 --> 03:47:42.520
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps you

1466
03:47:42.639 --> 03:47:55.959
to get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1467
03:47:56.000 --> 03:48:03.639
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1468
03:48:03.680 --> 03:48:10.000
pointing calf muscles. Didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if

1469
03:48:10.040 --> 03:48:13.600
I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get

1470
03:48:13.680 --> 03:48:17.399
some work. But of course that's not true. The calf

1471
03:48:17.479 --> 03:48:27.159
muscles are being used whenever we use our legs and

1472
03:48:27.239 --> 03:48:39.840
your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped in

1473
03:48:39.879 --> 03:48:52.479
a way almost as a protector for the bone, leading

1474
03:48:53.799 --> 03:49:04.200
of course to your ankles and your feet. But we're

1475
03:49:04.239 --> 03:49:06.120
not going to focus on your feet. We're just going

1476
03:49:06.200 --> 03:49:12.600
to focus on the legs. I realize and now that

1477
03:49:12.719 --> 03:49:17.159
I've mentioned your feet, you'll probably focus on them anyway,

1478
03:49:17.639 --> 03:49:20.000
So maybe I should focus on your feet.

1479
03:49:19.719 --> 03:49:20.239
A little bit.

1480
03:49:24.239 --> 03:49:28.719
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1481
03:49:28.760 --> 03:49:33.159
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1482
03:49:33.239 --> 03:49:39.000
haven't been focusing on your thighs a few minutes, I'm

1483
03:49:39.159 --> 03:49:49.840
to be focusing on your ankles. There's still that sensation

1484
03:49:50.079 --> 03:49:57.959
of comfort in your thighs.

1485
03:50:02.360 --> 03:50:04.239
In this that movement.

1486
03:50:05.360 --> 03:50:13.360
Of energy, because the thighs hold lots of different sensations.

1487
03:50:14.799 --> 03:50:19.680
Of course, there's the muscles, the big strong muscles that

1488
03:50:19.760 --> 03:50:32.719
we have in our thighs. But the skin on the

1489
03:50:32.760 --> 03:50:38.239
outside of the thighs, as in the outside of all

1490
03:50:38.319 --> 03:50:47.159
of our body, can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch,

1491
03:50:49.920 --> 03:51:03.680
sensitive to temperature, and inside your thighs the bones, there's

1492
03:51:04.280 --> 03:51:09.479
the muscle, there's the blood, vessels, the archrees, to all

1493
03:51:09.559 --> 03:51:19.040
this stuff that's inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd

1494
03:51:19.040 --> 03:51:23.200
be nice if you could actually put your fingers inside

1495
03:51:23.239 --> 03:51:28.680
your thighs and a message, so you can message on

1496
03:51:28.719 --> 03:51:32.000
the outside, of course, but to be able to get

1497
03:51:32.200 --> 03:51:35.200
deep into the muscles and to be able to just

1498
03:51:35.440 --> 03:51:41.680
message inside your thighs, message in the bones of your

1499
03:51:41.760 --> 03:51:54.159
leg massage in all the veins, just gently healing your thighs,

1500
03:51:57.959 --> 03:52:03.319
and you can move down message and inside your knees.

1501
03:52:04.680 --> 03:52:11.520
Just message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading

1502
03:52:11.559 --> 03:52:17.440
that healing energy deep into the choice of your knees.

1503
03:52:22.760 --> 03:52:26.639
Of course, there's the back of your knee and the

1504
03:52:26.760 --> 03:52:35.239
inside crease where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area.

1505
03:52:36.600 --> 03:52:40.479
It feels very nice when you stroke it. That might

1506
03:52:40.520 --> 03:52:44.719
be because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

1507
03:52:46.719 --> 03:52:53.639
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1508
03:52:53.680 --> 03:53:00.760
It's almost like a part that has a set positivity,

1509
03:53:00.840 --> 03:53:11.319
which is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected

1510
03:53:11.360 --> 03:53:22.719
by your legs, so you can imagine putting your fingers

1511
03:53:22.760 --> 03:53:32.840
into that crease in your legs, folding between your legs.

1512
03:53:33.479 --> 03:53:38.120
You can just message with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips

1513
03:53:38.200 --> 03:53:48.639
going inside, massage in the muscle or tissue. You can

1514
03:53:48.639 --> 03:53:54.959
of course field the bones of your knees, heading through

1515
03:53:54.959 --> 03:54:07.719
your fingertips, and then as you go down to your

1516
03:54:07.719 --> 03:54:10.399
calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like to be

1517
03:54:10.479 --> 03:54:16.879
able to really put my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles.

1518
03:54:18.319 --> 03:54:28.079
Massage in every single tissue of that muscle, healing every part,

1519
03:54:34.040 --> 03:54:40.159
and then doing the same for my shins. Massage in

1520
03:54:41.040 --> 03:54:48.040
gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a

1521
03:54:48.120 --> 03:54:55.319
loving way, because they deserve to be treated. There's the

1522
03:54:55.399 --> 03:54:59.360
precious bones that they are, because their legs are so

1523
03:54:59.520 --> 03:55:03.120
precious as in all the other parts of our body,

1524
03:55:05.600 --> 03:55:07.639
the more precious at any tub.

1525
03:55:10.040 --> 03:55:10.760
On the planet.

1526
03:55:18.959 --> 03:55:26.760
And when you start to think about your legs in

1527
03:55:26.840 --> 03:55:38.239
this way, it can change your perspective. It might sound

1528
03:55:38.280 --> 03:55:45.159
a bit a bit silly to start with the idea

1529
03:55:45.280 --> 03:55:53.840
of having love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs,

1530
03:55:56.479 --> 03:56:00.440
wanting to be able to put your hands in your

1531
03:56:00.440 --> 03:56:09.000
thighs the message the muscles and the bones, and to

1532
03:56:09.079 --> 03:56:17.479
get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just

1533
03:56:17.520 --> 03:56:26.959
to show how much you care about your legs, how

1534
03:56:27.040 --> 03:56:33.000
much you care for what your legs do for you regularly,

1535
03:56:35.360 --> 03:56:46.079
your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles,

1536
03:56:48.440 --> 03:56:53.200
considering how thin they are compared to the rest of

1537
03:56:53.239 --> 03:57:03.040
your legs, especially your thighs, yet this strong, so flexible,

1538
03:57:06.799 --> 03:57:19.600
absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because

1539
03:57:19.639 --> 03:57:28.440
of what they do for you supporting all that weight.

1540
03:57:30.399 --> 03:57:34.799
Regardless of how what weight you are, even if you

1541
03:57:34.920 --> 03:57:39.680
only eat ate stone, there's still a lot of weight

1542
03:57:39.879 --> 03:57:46.760
for these little ankles now a lot heavier than eight

1543
03:57:46.879 --> 03:57:57.520
stone double down. Yet my ankles support my body all

1544
03:57:57.559 --> 03:58:03.920
the time, or that they do give off a sigh

1545
03:58:03.959 --> 03:58:09.719
of relief when I sit down. That's my whole legs

1546
03:58:09.760 --> 03:58:20.319
though my feet, feet also go, my toes clap. I'm

1547
03:58:20.360 --> 03:58:48.840
so happy. Your legs really are amazing. And I know

1548
03:58:49.239 --> 03:58:55.680
that talking about talking about your legs is probably possibly

1549
03:58:55.879 --> 03:58:59.840
among the most the most boring things I've ever heard.

1550
03:59:00.040 --> 03:59:07.879
You want to say, Possibly you're boring or not. Everything

1551
03:59:07.920 --> 03:59:23.520
I said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs

1552
03:59:23.520 --> 03:59:33.920
deserve not just respect, because they deserve to relax.

1553
03:59:35.239 --> 03:59:35.680
Deeply.

1554
03:59:42.920 --> 03:59:46.319
They deserve to take some time out of the day

1555
03:59:48.479 --> 04:00:24.879
to just let go completely. Legs really can relax. And

1556
04:00:25.000 --> 04:00:28.959
because the legs are so such a most you know,

1557
04:00:29.200 --> 04:00:35.120
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1558
04:00:35.239 --> 04:00:42.479
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that

1559
04:00:46.200 --> 04:00:57.079
journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

1560
04:00:58.440 --> 04:01:05.559
My hips feel really loose, and also my lower back

1561
04:01:05.600 --> 04:01:12.239
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1562
04:01:13.360 --> 04:01:16.399
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1563
04:01:16.479 --> 04:01:21.760
no stretching as far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1564
04:01:22.760 --> 04:01:25.440
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1565
04:01:25.639 --> 04:01:31.600
much that there is a natural stretch. As the tension

1566
04:01:32.440 --> 04:01:53.719
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

1567
04:01:53.799 --> 04:02:03.600
down from ten down to one, you can continue to

1568
04:02:03.760 --> 04:02:34.799
fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four

1569
04:02:38.040 --> 04:02:44.920
three two.

1570
04:02:47.040 --> 04:02:54.040
One. Relax.

1571
04:03:01.799 --> 04:03:06.120
So I'm just going to count down five down to one.

1572
04:03:06.840 --> 04:03:11.559
And as a countdown, if you just focus on the numbers,

1573
04:03:13.120 --> 04:03:21.239
just the numbers counting down, and notice how you feel

1574
04:03:23.760 --> 04:03:28.399
in this moment as you hear the numbers counting down,

1575
04:03:29.440 --> 04:03:42.000
knowing that those numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer,

1576
04:03:43.280 --> 04:03:49.239
not just in your body, but also relax in your mind.

1577
04:03:51.760 --> 04:03:57.120
Just notice how you feel. There's nothing to do, there's

1578
04:03:57.200 --> 04:04:05.159
nothing to say, there's nothing to think about. Starting with

1579
04:04:06.600 --> 04:04:59.040
number five, four three two one. As you notice the gradual.

1580
04:05:01.159 --> 04:05:02.079
Letting go.

1581
04:05:04.120 --> 04:05:11.079
Of the tension in your body, you may also begin

1582
04:05:11.360 --> 04:05:18.360
to notice and be aware of how your mind is

1583
04:05:18.440 --> 04:05:26.280
starting to slow down. This is just a natural thing

1584
04:05:26.760 --> 04:05:34.159
that happens. It's not really a special procedure. It's just

1585
04:05:34.319 --> 04:05:40.559
natural because is your body relaxes, your mind also starts

1586
04:05:40.600 --> 04:05:45.319
to relax and the more your mind relaxes, the more

1587
04:05:45.360 --> 04:05:50.639
your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle of relaxation.

1588
04:05:56.639 --> 04:06:05.200
And is that calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know,

1589
04:06:05.280 --> 04:06:10.920
even even if there's background sounds either your side, online,

1590
04:06:12.600 --> 04:06:18.559
it's still going to be quite calm. You know, you

1591
04:06:18.600 --> 04:06:23.799
haven't got the television on, there's no music in the background,

1592
04:06:23.920 --> 04:06:26.639
unless you're listening to the recorded with music. Of course,

1593
04:06:31.440 --> 04:06:33.600
you're very likely not going to be sitting in a

1594
04:06:33.719 --> 04:06:36.840
room with other people. Of course you might be, but

1595
04:06:38.120 --> 04:06:41.440
generally it's more ideal if you can do this on

1596
04:06:41.520 --> 04:06:52.879
your own, so no distractions, and when you stop thinking

1597
04:06:52.920 --> 04:07:10.079
about stuff, relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts

1598
04:07:10.120 --> 04:07:18.959
to grow, and without trying to build it up into

1599
04:07:19.000 --> 04:07:33.440
something fantastical or something magical, this is just a natural process,

1600
04:07:33.440 --> 04:07:44.200
something that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1601
04:07:44.280 --> 04:07:51.159
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1602
04:07:51.319 --> 04:07:55.200
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1603
04:07:55.280 --> 04:08:07.280
really force. It's something that happens naturally and part of

1604
04:08:07.319 --> 04:08:17.399
the process of this recording and others is simply to

1605
04:08:19.120 --> 04:08:29.600
allow you to take advantage of this space, this time,

1606
04:08:32.520 --> 04:08:43.440
to just let go, to just be here, to be

1607
04:08:44.079 --> 04:08:57.479
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

1608
04:08:59.639 --> 04:09:11.200
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,

1609
04:09:12.319 --> 04:09:17.559
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself

1610
04:09:19.280 --> 04:09:35.360
in this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority

1611
04:09:35.559 --> 04:09:40.079
of the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep

1612
04:09:40.120 --> 04:09:47.040
part is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper

1613
04:09:48.200 --> 04:10:10.479
relaxed you become, the easier you find I've drifted, But

1614
04:10:10.600 --> 04:10:17.239
you can also if you choose stay focused on my

1615
04:10:17.399 --> 04:10:46.319
voice and really enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle

1616
04:10:50.920 --> 04:11:17.799
in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of

1617
04:11:18.079 --> 04:11:19.000
letting go.

1618
04:11:25.120 --> 04:11:30.600
Completely.

1619
04:11:31.920 --> 04:11:40.600
This time, I'm gonna count from six down to one,

1620
04:11:40.799 --> 04:11:50.000
and you can notice your mind calming down more with

1621
04:11:50.399 --> 04:12:11.079
each number that you hear me say natural, lay, four, calm, slier, peaceful.

1622
04:12:16.239 --> 04:14:42.920
Sex, five, four, three four.

1623
04:15:03.879 --> 04:15:13.479
Being aware of how your mind has slowed right down,

1624
04:15:16.719 --> 04:15:39.639
sinking deeply into relaxation, and as you focus on your

1625
04:15:39.760 --> 04:15:50.000
mind and may notice that there are some thoughts still

1626
04:15:50.120 --> 04:16:02.120
there maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps

1627
04:16:02.280 --> 04:16:17.239
need your attention. That's what you can do is send

1628
04:16:17.479 --> 04:16:24.959
love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts.

1629
04:16:28.959 --> 04:16:29.520
With love.

1630
04:16:31.239 --> 04:16:36.639
I at petals from a flower, Just sprinkle it over them,

1631
04:16:36.920 --> 04:16:44.079
petals feel good love towards those thoughts. To let those

1632
04:16:44.280 --> 04:16:52.079
thoughts murder. You're not abandon the themb you just need them.

1633
04:16:52.920 --> 04:17:04.079
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet

1634
04:17:04.360 --> 04:17:20.399
down for now, so as you focus on those remaining thoughts.

1635
04:17:21.559 --> 04:17:26.959
As we count down this time from seven down to one.

1636
04:17:27.200 --> 04:17:41.520
With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

1637
04:17:42.879 --> 04:17:54.760
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1638
04:17:56.159 --> 04:18:11.239
melt away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts

1639
04:18:11.319 --> 04:19:46.559
will become more and more relaxed, starting with number seven, six, five, four, three.

1640
04:20:37.680 --> 04:20:37.920
Four.

1641
04:20:55.399 --> 04:21:12.360
Now, t is how relaxed your feeling in your body.

1642
04:21:20.719 --> 04:21:33.920
We're going to focus on your hands, because the more

1643
04:21:34.040 --> 04:21:41.719
relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body and mind.

1644
04:21:41.840 --> 04:22:03.079
Not yes, you focus on your hands and your fingers.

1645
04:22:08.520 --> 04:22:13.239
There's nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching of

1646
04:22:13.559 --> 04:22:25.840
fists or tensing fingers or anything like that. It's just

1647
04:22:26.319 --> 04:22:39.680
noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing the how the

1648
04:22:40.040 --> 04:23:00.799
film because they are relaxed to your hands ends feel

1649
04:23:04.319 --> 04:23:14.079
the calmer your mind feels, and more comforts you feel

1650
04:23:16.120 --> 04:23:17.600
throughout your body.

1651
04:23:23.520 --> 04:23:34.159
Cheer may have already.

1652
04:23:36.360 --> 04:24:16.159
Noticed your mind is starting to dress. I send just

1653
04:24:16.319 --> 04:24:33.680
on your hands and fingers, allowing them cheat experience a

1654
04:24:33.719 --> 04:24:44.200
real deepening of that relaxation in your hands and fingers,

1655
04:24:47.680 --> 04:25:10.079
more and more relaxed. With each number from eight down

1656
04:25:10.159 --> 04:25:23.799
to one. We can almost feel that healing, relaxing energy

1657
04:25:24.920 --> 04:25:45.760
spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming more relaxing with

1658
04:25:46.159 --> 04:26:01.239
each number you hear, going down eight down to one,

1659
04:26:04.159 --> 04:26:09.000
drifting drifted.

1660
04:26:09.079 --> 04:26:16.000
The game starts in wis.

1661
04:26:27.520 --> 04:27:06.319
Eight seven.

1662
04:28:10.040 --> 04:29:25.799
Four s.

1663
04:30:15.079 --> 04:30:24.360
Just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1664
04:30:26.000 --> 04:30:40.239
nothing to say, and everything just feels calm. This is

1665
04:30:41.360 --> 04:30:48.120
your natural state of being. This is how you just

1666
04:30:49.239 --> 04:30:55.799
normally feel when you take away all that other stuff

1667
04:30:58.200 --> 04:31:02.840
that we add. I think like stress and way we

1668
04:31:02.959 --> 04:31:18.239
heard over thinking some anxiety, tinge just sperly thinking about

1669
04:31:18.360 --> 04:31:24.040
stuff and take that away, which is what we do.

1670
04:31:24.959 --> 04:31:25.200
We do.

1671
04:31:25.520 --> 04:31:42.799
Now we left with a real sense of pass which

1672
04:31:43.000 --> 04:31:51.000
comes to you very quickly because arts belie it's just

1673
04:31:52.159 --> 04:32:04.760
a feeling, a feeling of comfordt post as if you've

1674
04:32:04.799 --> 04:32:13.559
got inside yourself, you've found a special place where everything

1675
04:32:17.000 --> 04:32:25.559
is peaceful, place where you can film asked in your

1676
04:32:25.760 --> 04:32:33.559
natural sense of comfort, the place where.

1677
04:32:33.479 --> 04:32:34.879
You can be here.

1678
04:32:39.399 --> 04:32:47.120
We can accept yourself and who you are, the place.

1679
04:32:46.920 --> 04:32:57.520
Where you're trying to please anybody else, in the place

1680
04:32:57.639 --> 04:32:58.600
where you can.

1681
04:33:00.200 --> 04:33:08.919
Actually not just love yourself, but in some ways more importantly,

1682
04:33:09.560 --> 04:33:26.599
you can like yourself, appreciate who you are. That sense

1683
04:33:26.720 --> 04:33:40.840
of gratitude, it's in the air around you. That's also

1684
04:33:41.000 --> 04:33:49.759
a place where you can actually feel the healing energy

1685
04:33:50.840 --> 04:34:04.279
soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into your body.

1686
04:34:09.400 --> 04:34:18.799
That healing energy spreads through your veins, traveling to each

1687
04:34:20.279 --> 04:34:31.119
every single part of your body, and you start to

1688
04:34:31.240 --> 04:34:38.799
realize that actually that healing energy, it's not just entered

1689
04:34:38.880 --> 04:34:50.400
into your brain, it's become part of your brain, and

1690
04:34:50.520 --> 04:35:02.319
the spinal fluid is now mixed with healing energy, not

1691
04:35:02.680 --> 04:35:10.639
just allowing you to feel so much more relaxed and

1692
04:35:10.919 --> 04:35:23.400
healthy in this moment, but also you start to realize

1693
04:35:23.639 --> 04:35:33.560
that actually what's happening now without a healing, relaxing energy

1694
04:35:34.479 --> 04:35:46.479
spreading through your body, is actually changing your life. It's

1695
04:35:46.520 --> 04:35:52.040
actually changing the way you're going to feel, not just now,

1696
04:35:53.880 --> 04:36:00.720
but tomorrow and the next day. There's your health proves

1697
04:36:04.279 --> 04:36:11.639
not just your physical health, but your mental health. Things

1698
04:36:12.040 --> 04:36:17.240
that used to bother you in the past, for some reason,

1699
04:36:18.439 --> 04:36:26.000
no longer have the effect that they used to because

1700
04:36:26.159 --> 04:36:37.799
something has changed deeper within you. Maybe things that used

1701
04:36:37.840 --> 04:36:48.319
to cause you to feel anger no longer have that

1702
04:36:49.200 --> 04:36:57.200
power to control you the way they seem to be

1703
04:36:57.319 --> 04:37:06.400
able to before. As you realize that you're the one

1704
04:37:08.439 --> 04:37:20.159
who decides what affects you, You're the one who decides

1705
04:37:23.000 --> 04:37:34.000
to feel relaxed and calm when you choose to enjoy

1706
04:37:35.560 --> 04:37:48.240
noticing these natural developments of the healing continue to grow

1707
04:37:51.080 --> 04:38:02.400
and improve your life day by day. Included, of course,

1708
04:38:02.479 --> 04:38:20.000
your ability to relax so much easier than sleeping. It's

1709
04:38:20.040 --> 04:38:30.400
the most natural thing in the world to you because

1710
04:38:30.639 --> 04:38:36.639
fall in the sleep is something that you've done so

1711
04:38:36.919 --> 04:38:38.159
many times.

1712
04:38:39.560 --> 04:38:45.159
In your life, and you know that you were born,

1713
04:38:46.680 --> 04:38:48.400
as we all were, with.

1714
04:38:49.040 --> 04:38:59.639
The ability to fall asleep naturally. We were born with

1715
04:39:00.200 --> 04:39:12.639
that ability to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep.

1716
04:39:18.599 --> 04:39:23.400
Even when we're kids, sometimes we'll fall asleep when we

1717
04:39:23.479 --> 04:39:29.919
don't even want to try to stay awake. Maybe it's

1718
04:39:30.080 --> 04:39:34.520
a birthday in the morning, though it's Christmas or holiday

1719
04:39:34.720 --> 04:39:37.119
or something we look forward to, we don't want to

1720
04:39:37.159 --> 04:39:42.279
go to sleep. But the more we want to stay awake,

1721
04:39:44.479 --> 04:39:51.520
the more we just start to drift. And the more

1722
04:39:52.200 --> 04:39:56.560
you fights drifting, we try to stop yourself and drifting

1723
04:39:56.639 --> 04:40:09.880
a sleep the deeper, strong without drifting becomes. Because we're

1724
04:40:09.959 --> 04:40:16.880
born not just with the need to relax deeply and

1725
04:40:17.040 --> 04:40:27.080
to naturally fall asleep, but it's outbirthright. It's part of

1726
04:40:27.200 --> 04:40:37.840
our DNA, and sometimes as we get older in life,

1727
04:40:39.200 --> 04:40:52.799
perhaps at times we have forgotten the relaxing completely. It's

1728
04:40:52.880 --> 04:41:05.959
not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

1729
04:41:17.319 --> 04:41:20.520
It's very, very easy.

1730
04:41:21.479 --> 04:41:22.040
To let go.

1731
04:41:24.040 --> 04:41:33.720
Because that's all it is. It's just decided to let go.

1732
04:41:38.919 --> 04:41:44.880
And when you press the play button on my recordings,

1733
04:41:46.759 --> 04:41:54.040
you have given permission from my voice to elect you.

1734
04:41:57.759 --> 04:42:01.319
When you press that play button, you have given me

1735
04:42:01.479 --> 04:42:16.959
permission for my words to effect in a positive only

1736
04:42:17.520 --> 04:42:37.000
a positive way, opening up your mind to useful and

1737
04:42:38.639 --> 04:42:56.240
healing suggestions. They can have such an amazing effect on

1738
04:42:56.479 --> 04:43:08.560
how you feel right now, as well as those changes

1739
04:43:08.880 --> 04:43:19.240
that continue long after the recording ends those changes within you,

1740
04:43:22.080 --> 04:43:32.520
they continue to flourish and the row transforming your life

1741
04:43:34.759 --> 04:43:46.799
in a positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move forward

1742
04:43:47.279 --> 04:43:53.959
in your life in the direction that you choose for yourself.

1743
04:44:03.319 --> 04:44:15.040
This feeling, this feeling that you can experience a safety, comfort, calmness,

1744
04:44:22.880 --> 04:44:36.799
This feels so nice, such a healthy place to be

1745
04:44:44.720 --> 04:44:58.479
and out postility grows within you. In and every day

1746
04:45:01.560 --> 04:45:11.360
moving forward, you're trying to find that you're more relaxed

1747
04:45:13.720 --> 04:45:26.040
physically and in your mind. It's more relaxed. And it's

1748
04:45:26.119 --> 04:45:31.639
not that you're thinking slower. It's just that your mind

1749
04:45:31.720 --> 04:45:43.639
would be less knocked up with unnecessary negativity because from

1750
04:45:43.720 --> 04:45:54.279
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now you're going

1751
04:45:54.360 --> 04:46:11.439
to start noticing when negativity arises. You can just say stop. Stop,

1752
04:46:14.479 --> 04:46:29.439
that negativity will turn around and leave you alone. Stop

1753
04:46:33.639 --> 04:46:49.000
and that negativity disappear. And did you notice that you

1754
04:46:50.360 --> 04:47:03.240
feel way more than next and you probably expected. You

1755
04:47:03.439 --> 04:47:12.959
can now congratulate yourself because you're the person that has

1756
04:47:13.159 --> 04:47:19.360
done this. You are the one that has opened your

1757
04:47:19.520 --> 04:47:28.799
mind up to the simple facts. You can feel more

1758
04:47:28.880 --> 04:47:30.599
relaxed in the body.

1759
04:47:31.119 --> 04:47:40.200
End in your mind. You've opened your mind up.

1760
04:47:40.240 --> 04:47:49.200
To the birthright of being able to just all asleep easily.

1761
04:47:50.279 --> 04:48:04.599
When you choose, that's a nice feeling, and you think

1762
04:48:07.240 --> 04:48:16.040
it feels nice, doesn't it to feel calm? For the

1763
04:48:16.360 --> 04:48:21.000
hearing energy is spreading through your body in your mind

1764
04:48:27.520 --> 04:48:38.319
to spend time a special place where negativity can no

1765
04:48:38.560 --> 04:48:51.639
longer be enter. Negativity is banned. It's bad, it's not allowed.

1766
04:48:51.759 --> 04:48:58.919
Intrigue doesn't doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't

1767
04:48:59.040 --> 04:49:17.799
belong here. Negativity has no place in your life, which

1768
04:49:17.959 --> 04:49:32.720
makes room for more comfort? Oh he relaxation or peace?

1769
04:49:49.840 --> 04:49:51.080
Its nice, doesn't that?

1770
04:49:53.000 --> 04:49:56.840
Just like.

1771
04:50:00.840 --> 04:50:19.479
Everything. I'm gonna count down now from twenty down to one.

1772
04:50:22.880 --> 04:50:24.639
He can continue to.

1773
04:50:24.799 --> 04:50:34.840
Relax if you choose to sleep.

1774
04:50:38.680 --> 04:50:39.919
Every number.

1775
04:50:42.279 --> 04:50:43.319
He will say.

1776
04:50:47.400 --> 04:50:48.520
You can fill.

04:50:49.400 --> 04:50:55.639
Twice is relaxed. Or if you choose you can fill

To just take a break, your.

1781
04:54:09.599 --> 04:54:29.639
Time relax, to allow your way to slow down, to give.

1782
04:54:29.520 --> 04:54:31.439
Yourself a permission.

1783
04:54:35.680 --> 04:54:37.479
To take a break.

1784
04:54:42.080 --> 04:54:51.119
From everything. And you're the only person I can make

1785
04:54:51.279 --> 04:54:57.919
that decision, the only person who can actually tell you why.

It's in touch how you feel.

Physically, and in the process this ski focus on different
