00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:09.160
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason Newland,

2
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:13.640
and this is let me bore you to sleep. Today

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:21.239
is Monday, the twenty sixth of May two thousand and

4
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:31.600
twenty five. It's six fifty five peb ooh, it's Monday's

5
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:37.560
boring Objects. And today I am going to discuss dog walking.

6
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:47.920
Oh yes, exciting. Did I say oh? Only listen when

7
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.479
you can safely close your eyes. I'm not sure if

8
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.119
I said that or not. I don't think I did

9
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.840
what I have now anyway, check out my website, which

10
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.679
is groovy. I was going to shut the top up

11
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:07.040
my website. All the recordings are on there. There's playlists,

12
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:13.319
there's podcasts, there's links to the different apps that my

13
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.760
podcasts are on. There's a way to contact me whatever.

14
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.560
Lots of different things on there. There's also a link

15
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.120
to my Facebook group, which is Jason Newland's Boring Group.

16
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.519
There's a link to my YouTube channel which is at

17
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.319
Jason Newland, which is now my podcast on YouTube. So

18
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.640
exactly the same recordings as you get on Spotify or

19
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.959
Apple or cast box or wherever. It's all on YouTube

20
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.280
now as well, including the ten hour ones with music.

21
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.280
You know, all this all version or six versions. I

22
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:55.879
got the chroaky voice. I had a one day cold yesterday,

23
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.799
which is weird. I still it's like a I think

24
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.879
it's a weather change in reaction. It has gone from

25
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:14.639
being warm to being cold to being damp. So the

26
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:21.919
last couple of days it's been very damp and very damp.

27
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.000
I guess, I don't know another word to explain it

28
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:34.199
really rainy instead of being dry. So yeah, a little

29
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.560
bit under the weather last couple of days, but feeling

30
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.240
all right generally. Just keep coughing a little bit and

31
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.840
then my voice is fine. Just takes a little bit

32
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:56.960
of lubrication. That's weird, isn't it. So I'm going to

33
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:03.520
start off. I've walked dogs for years and the first

34
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:09.120
time I walked the dog, I was fourteen, and it

35
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:17.479
was misty. The the what was it Saint Bernard or

36
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.759
you may call it a Saint Bernard. You may wrongly

37
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:27.479
call it a Saint Bernard. It's a Saint Bernard, a

38
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:32.960
huge dog. So there's been that one. There's been my

39
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:40.560
other friend's dog who I lived with. Either was my

40
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.879
cousin's dog that I lived with. That was my other

41
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.520
friend's dog I lived with. Then there was the other

42
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.360
friend that friend's dog I lived with, and then it

43
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:55.759
was Vinny, but also Logi downstairs. I was gonna say

44
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.599
I never lived with Logi, but I did, didn't I

45
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.919
for two months, but he used to see him very

46
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.919
regularly for I don't know, six years, however long, however

47
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.800
long he was living downstairs, stayed to take him for

48
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.920
walks and spend a lot of time with him. Lovely dog,

49
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:23.079
really lovely. Apart from other dogs, it's the most gentle dog.

50
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.439
Just ridiculous how gentle and floppy and soppy he was

51
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:40.800
with humans. But with other dogs, Nope, apart from one dog, Finny,

52
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.480
Hinny was the only dog that he liked. Not totally true.

53
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.920
There was a couple of I think he did. He

54
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.439
had a girlfriend another dog that was similar to him,

55
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.879
who get on with but generally did not like other dogs.

56
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:07.360
Loved Vinny Strange, I say, I mean he did Vinnie once.

57
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:16.079
Vinnie and him lived together up here for pretty much December.

58
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:25.560
I think it might have been three months, December, January, February.

59
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.120
It's either the end of January or the end of February,

60
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.399
so it's either two or three months I had him

61
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:36.720
living here, them two together, and they started fighting. They

62
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.920
started arguing with each other, and I think a lot

63
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:47.160
of it was Vinnie trying to boss him around. I mean,

64
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:52.480
Vinnie could have comfortably fitted inside his mouth and gone

65
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:57.920
to sleep. You know, the size difference was ridiculous. He

66
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:03.839
really looked like a gerbil next to it. So I

67
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.000
don't know why. I guess this is Vinnie's home, But

68
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.360
before that, he used to love Vinnie's to love him.

69
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.800
I'm sure he still loves him, but he just used

70
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.800
to absolutely adore him and gets so excited to see

71
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.439
him and try and get into that flat every time

72
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.079
he went downstairs and try and get in there to

73
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.120
see Logi, and Logu tries to get up here to

74
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:37.879
see Vinnie. And then it's weird, actually, because about a

75
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:44.360
couple of months before my friend left, I'd say a

76
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:49.600
couple of months maybe a few months, but Logi went missing.

77
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.279
He just escaped and he run off and he was

78
00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:02.279
gone for about two weeks. That whole time, Vinnie was

79
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.399
pining for him. He was sitting at the front door

80
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:11.839
just waiting, like really kind of pining, which was weird.

81
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.759
But after living here, I mean he did he got

82
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.439
found at a hostel place or whatever and got brought

83
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:26.600
back a rescue place. But when after living together for

84
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:31.199
a couple of months or three months, and Logi went

85
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.879
in fact got his new home, Vinny didn't seem that bothered.

86
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.360
It's weird. It seemed he wasn't celebrating. I mean, it

87
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.720
wasn't like popping off streamers or anything, or dancing, but

88
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.199
he was definitely.

89
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:49.600
That.

90
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.519
He seemed to be happy to have his home back.

91
00:07:53.839 --> 00:08:01.600
But what surprised me is I felt sad at the time.

92
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.240
I couldn't really understand it. I suppose I understand it

93
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.079
now because that was the last that was part of

94
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.000
my friend, wasn't it. I'd lost him, But I didn't,

95
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:14.560
so I didn't really connect him with Logi, even though

96
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.319
there's an obvious connection. It was his dog. So once

97
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:24.560
he was gone, all everything connected to my friend was

98
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:29.800
pretty much gone, apart from the occasional contact with his dad.

99
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:34.840
That's kind of it. So yeah, so I was piling.

100
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.440
I'm the one that was sitting at the front door

101
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:37.720
on the floor.

102
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:39.519
Piling.

103
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:42.840
Vinnie was in there thinking, oh what am I going

104
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.919
to do about him? I need to distract him. Maybe

105
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:52.200
if I get him some bones. Anyway, So dog's walking.

106
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.559
I thought I talk about dog walking because I actually

107
00:08:55.559 --> 00:09:02.200
forgot it was Monday today. Because there's a bank holiday Monday.

108
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:07.360
It really really feels like a Sunday. It really feels

109
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:13.039
like a Sunday in a sense of I've known its

110
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:17.919
bank holiday right from the beginning of the day, or

111
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.840
before anyone went to bed last night, and it still

112
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:25.159
felt like a Sunday. Quite often, a bank holiday feels

113
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.799
just like a Monday. It's like just another day. I

114
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:38.120
don't know why it felt like a Sunday. Thinking about it,

115
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.399
I was thinking of last night as being Saturday. That

116
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.679
probably explains it as well, because I was thinking about

117
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.000
what I did last night when last night I watched

118
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.720
the boxing. No, I didn't. That was Saturday night last night.

119
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.399
I've got no idea what I did. I went to

120
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:06.519
bed early pretty much. Yeah, so it's felt like a Sunday.

121
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.120
But it's not. I mean, it's not a bad thing.

122
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.679
I mean, I don't. I've got no issue with Sundays.

123
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.519
It's a relaxing day. Some would argue all days are

124
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.279
relaxing days for me, but you know, I like to

125
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:22.440
think that I'm doing something with my time. Today, I

126
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.559
actually found a way to stream my so I've got

127
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.679
Kindle on my phone, so I opened it up and

128
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:36.679
I found a way to play a book speaking out

129
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:42.759
loud to me. But not only that, I morod it

130
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.120
onto the TV so I could read along at the

131
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.519
same time. So the voice is a you know, it's

132
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:54.480
very robotic, so it's not like a decent voice, but

133
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.720
reading it and because the screen's big on the TV,

134
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.720
I could read it much easier than reading a book.

135
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.759
I just can't just prince too small now for books

136
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.200
for me until I get my eyes tested and get

137
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:17.120
them get better glasses. So the I think I spent

138
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:22.480
about three hours reading a book, and occasionally I kind

139
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.879
of closed my eyes and just listen to it. Then

140
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.639
I go back and read it. And it's a book

141
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.679
I've read before. It's a book I've already got on

142
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.440
the shelf as well. But I also purchased it on

143
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:41.080
Kindle about eleven years ago. It's a long time ago.

144
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:47.039
And eleven years from now, what will I be. I

145
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:58.720
will be sixty five. I'll be sixty five, I'll be

146
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:06.600
two years off of retire. Wow, eleven years so thirteen

147
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:15.320
years away, fourteen fifty six seven, I'll be nearing retirement age. No, no,

148
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:21.519
even less. So when I'm sixty five, I'll be fifty

149
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:29.320
five in August, So twelve years from August i'll be retired.

150
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.960
I'll be retired age.

151
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:34.960
Wow.

152
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.080
I'll be thinking. And this isn't really related to dog walking,

153
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.000
and probably most of the things I talk about during

154
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.559
this recording will also not be related to dog walking.

155
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.480
For some reason, but I started to have a little,

156
00:12:55.039 --> 00:13:00.080
a little feeling towards maybe it would be nice to

157
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.919
have to be in a relationship, to have a girlfriend.

158
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.799
I know, girlfriend might not be the right term anymore.

159
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.919
Partners probably the best, probably the correct term now, I

160
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:22.759
don't know, but relationship, I'm just thinking maybe. And I

161
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:28.240
kind of started to notice women a bit more just

162
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.279
I don't know. I've not really had much interest in

163
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:37.240
women for ages, not really, not really, kind of just

164
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:43.840
I don't know. Maybe it's the summer. Maybe maybe the

165
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:48.960
sun's ignited some kind of testosterone in me. I don't know.

166
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.639
Maybe maybe one of my hormones has regrown, because I

167
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:57.519
think most of my hormones have gone, but maybe one's resurfaced,

168
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:08.639
and I'm starting to I don't know, it's different. It's

169
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:13.399
no desperation. I've been desperate in the past. Blimey, it's

170
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.519
a long time ago. But I used to be like

171
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:22.159
really like a pening dog, like really just I don't

172
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:23.879
know why I did that impression of a pening dog.

173
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.240
We all know what a dog sounds like when it pens.

174
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.120
I don't know why I did that. I wasn't literally

175
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:34.759
walking around and going, what's your name? I'm Jason. Wasn't

176
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.120
quite that bad. It wasn't much better than that though,

177
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.799
never any good at chat up blinds. I just thought

178
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:47.480
he was silly. You know. It's just if you make

179
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.840
someone laugh. They were like, you never found out to

180
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:55.440
be the case. It's like, it makes someone laugh, then

181
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.679
you're in the friend zone. It's like instantly it's easy

182
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:10.159
to be a friend zone by loads of female friends. Yeah. Anyway,

183
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:14.360
So I've just been thinking about that, and I just

184
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:21.039
noticed that I'm starting to maybe I don't know if

185
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:25.639
I'm getting older and wrinklier and all those things that

186
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:27.320
starting to think.

187
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:33.279
Hmm, you know, I know there's going to come a

188
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:34.759
time when I look in the mirror and I will

189
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:39.919
not recognize myself, or there was going to come a

190
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:40.480
time when.

191
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:45.519
I don't even look in the mirror anymore. And you know,

192
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:49.879
I don't know. I'm not sure that will happen, but

193
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.879
I guess that possibly will happen. I've seen many people

194
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.200
that seem to be in that situation where they're just

195
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.120
I don't want to be I want to kind of

196
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.559
there's not much to work with, but I'd kind of

197
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:09.120
do my best with what there is, you know, try

198
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:16.200
and should I die? Should I die my not my pubes,

199
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.879
my beard? Should I die my beard? I die it gray?

200
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.679
That be weird, wouldn't it? What weird thing to do?

201
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:31.200
Because then someone could maybe ask someone out and I think,

202
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.360
no because you're too old, and I say, no, I'm not.

203
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.879
And I can just wipe it off, say look I'm

204
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:44.759
only partially gray. But then I don't know, yes's not

205
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.360
really die, is it? That would be coloring? I suppose

206
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:55.679
perhaps chalk, like you know, blackboard chalk. I could like

207
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.080
just push that into my beard and that look like

208
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.960
I've got a white bear. And then I said, is

209
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.000
it because I'm a bit old? Said yeah? Just I said,

210
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.319
don't worry, And I pull out a what a wet

211
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:12.799
wipe from my pants and just like, look, it's look,

212
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:17.920
I'm not I'm not completely gray, And now I might say, well,

213
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.799
you are actually still gray, so no, I'm not. It's chalk.

214
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.200
And then I go home and I realize, okay, I

215
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:30.640
was I'm already gray. Some part of me is not

216
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:35.160
gray because I shaved my head and I shaved my

217
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.400
I trimmed my beard the other day, and there was

218
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:47.720
clumps of dark hair there. There was There wasn't from

219
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:51.200
me bum so it's definitely from my face of my head.

220
00:17:52.440 --> 00:18:01.599
So I did it. Oh, okay, let's forget Yeah, right, okay,

221
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:11.759
let's move on. So I think, oh, I got caught.

222
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.680
This is really bad. Okay, I'm not just gonna help it.

223
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:20.480
I was talking to a lady today when I was

224
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:26.599
walking with me, you know then, and I think I

225
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.079
got caught looking down the top. I'm sorry. I didn't

226
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:31.759
mean to. I didn't mean to get caught. I mean

227
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.200
she didn't actually specifically say what you're doing looking down

228
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:42.559
my top, but she did ask me why I was

229
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:51.359
standing on the ladder, So it's kind of I don't know.

230
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.440
It's hard to I mean, I don't know. It's hard

231
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:57.480
to know because you can't just like question it oh,

232
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:01.200
did you catch me looking down your top? And she

233
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.440
said no, but now I know you were. I said, no,

234
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:08.119
you don't. I'm just saying, okay, you do, really, don't you. Oh,

235
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:12.160
But of course I wasn't, and I'm just making this up.

236
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.400
Of course she was looking trying to look down my top,

237
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:22.839
and I was offended, like, leave my bosoms alone, they're mine.

238
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:29.720
I think my chest is coming along. I think I've

239
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.200
definitely I seem to be flattering the tummy now that

240
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.720
I was. I say that, and I've just grabbed a

241
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.599
big massive Yeah. Maybe when I lay down, I am.

242
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:47.880
When I lay down, I'm quite slim. Yeah, when I

243
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.599
hang upside down, I'm taller. I mean it depends, well,

244
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:53.720
you know, sort of do with gravity. I suppose, isn't

245
00:19:53.759 --> 00:20:07.440
it the dog walk in I remember saying to someone

246
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:13.119
that's had this. I think I was sort of kind

247
00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:21.079
of semulating this lady. And so I'm just outside it's

248
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:27.960
a sunny day, and she said, why looking at my top?

249
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:30.960
I said, what do you mean?

250
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.440
Said?

251
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.839
You're staring at the top? Is it something on it?

252
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:40.400
What like she's spilled ice cream or something. I don't know,

253
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:43.119
what do you mean? I'm not looking at your top.

254
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:45.000
She said, I can see you're looking at my top.

255
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.039
I said, you can't see me look at your top

256
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.720
because I've got sunglasses. When they're not they're acting like

257
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.920
normal glasses. And I said, you cannot see my eyes

258
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:59.079
through these. She said, yes, I can. I said you can't.

259
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.119
Why are you Indian? You can? You can't see where

260
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.359
I'm looking because these are shades. When it's sunny, they're

261
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.920
turning into shades. You cannot see my eyes. She said,

262
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.079
I can see your eyes clearly. I can see exactly

263
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:16.039
where you're looking. I said, no, you can't. So she

264
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.240
she pulled a person pulled off, didn't pulled off. She

265
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.839
pulled someone to the side. Another pedestrian said, can you

266
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:25.759
tell me that you can see his eyes? Can't you know?

267
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:28.799
And she said, yeah, you can see her way he's looking. Yah,

268
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:31.359
he's staring at your chest. I said, I'm not staring

269
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.680
at staring at mine now, and I'm not I'm not

270
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:38.200
staring at anyone's chair. You can't see my eyes. They've

271
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.720
got I specifically bought them so that you can't see

272
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.440
where I'm looking. And she said I thought it was

273
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.960
because of your eyesight. I said, yeah, it's because of

274
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.319
my eyesight as well. Imagin't you know I won't wear

275
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:52.839
glasses if I didn't need them, She said, But you

276
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.319
said the act of light was because you've got the

277
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:01.880
that macro degeneration in the fat and you have to

278
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.359
be careful your eyes so that you know, you have

279
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:06.319
to protect your eyes from the sun so that it

280
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.519
doesn't progress any further, like with your dad and your

281
00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:13.720
nan and your other family members. And I said, yeah, yeah,

282
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:18.200
that that is the reason. But at the same time,

283
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:23.839
I actually was thinking that no one could see my eyes.

284
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:27.160
She said, yeah, we can see your eyes. Someone else

285
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.400
passed it. Yeah, I can see them. Stop looking at

286
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:37.079
my chest and carried on walking. So it turns out

287
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.240
and I start asking people that I know, can you

288
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.960
see my eyes when I've got my glasses on and

289
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:47.640
it's sunny. Yeah, I've asked everyone, and everyone can see

290
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:58.599
my eyes. So for twelve years, twelve summers, twelve years,

291
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.720
I've been walking around thinking people can't see where I'm looking,

292
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:04.920
and they've all been able to see where I'm looking.

293
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.920
My question is can I get a refund? Can I

294
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:20.039
get my money back? I just when I get myney glasses,

295
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:27.160
I may just actually buy some proper sunglasses with my

296
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:34.119
prescription in them, because that's ridiculous. I should be able

297
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:40.599
to have the freedom to I'm just.

298
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:48.039
Yeah.

299
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:53.440
Anyway, so walking the first dog I walked was I

300
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.079
made all up? Of course, the first dog I walked

301
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:04.200
was I have any friends with dogs at school? I

302
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.640
don't think I did. I don't think I had any dogs,

303
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.359
dog friends, friends with dogs, dogs that lived in a

304
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:19.000
friend's house. No, I didn't. No, I had a friend

305
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.440
that had two cats. And there were those board cats,

306
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.319
the ones with no cut clothes on, you know, the

307
00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:29.640
ones that are just basically naked. And it looked like

308
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.640
the kind of things that you see hanging up in

309
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:38.200
a tie a tire market. I wasn't sure there were

310
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:44.680
cats or bats. They're lovely cats, buy it looked like statues, though,

311
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:50.839
because they just used to sit there really still. And

312
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.119
please don't shout out. We know what you mean by statues.

313
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.880
Statue sit still. When people say you see it was

314
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:57.799
like a statue, we know that that means. It means

315
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:01.559
it was very still. All right, BlimE me. Just because

316
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.799
bank holiday, I don't have to be all frizzy with

317
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:10.000
me or frizzy and fuzzy and fizzy and blippy blippy

318
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:19.000
blue blue. So I'm walking Misty. I talked about Misty

319
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:21.680
the other day and she she used to drag me around.

320
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:24.839
I could not control her. She was way too big,

321
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:32.119
way too strong, no training, and it was such a

322
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:34.839
shame because she's a beautiful dog, or dogs are beautiful,

323
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:40.119
but she's she was lovely. She just couldn't. I was

324
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.640
scared of her, to be fair, she was too big,

325
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:47.160
twice my size. I mean, she's probably bigger than I

326
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:52.119
am now. Maybe doesn't weigh as much as I weigh,

327
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.880
but she she may well have done. She was a

328
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:59.839
good twelve stone, maybe fourteen stone, maybe even more. Maybe

329
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.000
you might even way more than I do now, because

330
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:08.559
she was big, big dog. And you can literally put

331
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.400
her on the scales and just see the doll just

332
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:16.400
moving slowly that you can see in real time, see

333
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:20.240
her grow in real time. It was like watching the moon.

334
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.240
You can see the moon move if you just watch it.

335
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:26.079
I mean, technically, if you watch anything long enough, you

336
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.279
can see it move, can't you. If you watch a

337
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:32.039
mountain long enough, you can see the mountain dissolving and corroding.

338
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:34.240
But you'd have to be a lie for sort of

339
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:39.640
millions of years or thousands of years. But if you

340
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.160
were alive for thousands of years or millions of years,

341
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.440
it wouldn't be the best use of your time, would it.

342
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.319
But then you might argue, yeah, but if you're going

343
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:50.960
to live forever, what does a couple of million years mean?

344
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:58.799
Suppose I did think that if I'd like to live forever,

345
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:05.160
not for any other reason other than I just want

346
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:08.799
to see everyone I care about die, No, wow, as

347
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.839
a joke, I want to see I'd like to be

348
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:16.319
able to read every book. Not every book, There's going

349
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:18.200
to be a lot of really bad books. But I'd

350
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.480
like to read every book that I want to read,

351
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.680
see every movie that I want to see. Do ever,

352
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:30.400
study every subject that I want to study. So maybe

353
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:36.839
if I wanted to go into I don't know, philosophy

354
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.319
and just study everything and decide I'm going to spend

355
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:46.640
the next fifty years or one hundred years study in philosophy,

356
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.400
then in a hundred years time, I'm going to study

357
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:53.200
everything to do with space. So I'm going to you know,

358
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:57.039
it's like I'm really going to become good at one

359
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:02.400
thing or something, because earlier today I was trying to

360
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.799
think of something that I was good at, and I

361
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:10.400
couldn't think of anything. Meant just watching television class as

362
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:22.839
a talent. I don't know. So so Misty was Yeah,

363
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:26.880
it was I couldn't take a dog. I couldn't take

364
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.119
her for a walk, she was too big, couldn't do it.

365
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:38.680
And the second dog I took for a walk would

366
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:45.279
have been my friend who had lived with in London,

367
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.000
and he would leave. Well, there was a time when

368
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:51.880
I was at home and he was at work, and

369
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:54.480
there's other times when he'd lead me looking after the

370
00:28:54.559 --> 00:29:01.359
dog while he went away. So when I had when

371
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.319
I when I didn't have the dog, the dog was naughty.

372
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:07.960
When he was there, He'd let the dog do anything

373
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:10.599
he wants, and he was naughty when I had him

374
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:15.359
for a week on my own. I trained him, I

375
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.240
had him walking around the park with me, and he

376
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.279
never ever bothered other dogs, didn't bark at them, nothing.

377
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.039
As soon as his dad got back, he turned into

378
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:31.200
a terror again. And I also realized that, you know,

379
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.279
when I first met him, he was barking at me

380
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:40.039
for about three hours. After I moved in, I realized

381
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.160
that he was a scaredy cat. He wasn't brave at all.

382
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.680
He was not even a bully. He was just scared

383
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.880
and he didn't have Yeah, he didn't have any kind

384
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:01.799
of he'd bark out other dogs, but he didn't. Me did. Unfortunately.

385
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:05.640
He was a bit bity as well, but he behaved

386
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:09.920
himself with me, And you know, he used to sleep

387
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:13.160
in the bed with me, and when when his dad

388
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:14.720
wasn't there, he slept in the bed with his dad.

389
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.400
But when his dad wasn't there, he's sleeping the bed

390
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.240
with me. And you know, I got on really well

391
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:24.559
with him. And I had a girlfriend. It's hard to

392
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:30.119
believe that I did, and he loved her. I thought

393
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.359
he was going to eat her because she wanted to

394
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.680
come back to my place, and I thought, there's a

395
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.160
good chance he's going to really bite her and attack her,

396
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:44.880
but at the same time might get some sex. It

397
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:50.640
was like, was out loud, no, I mean I kind

398
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:53.599
of you know, it was like, I come back to

399
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:58.559
your place, so okay, But I'm thinking, is he going

400
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:02.359
to go crazy? I mean I could handle him, so

401
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.119
I could get him into a different room and stuff.

402
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:06.000
But I really thought he was going to go for

403
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:09.119
her and maybe she'd be wouldn't want to come into

404
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:13.200
the house because he was a proper barker, like really

405
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:21.319
like a little puppy with her, a little puppy. Instantly,

406
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.079
as soon as she walked in, he was laying on

407
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:29.440
his back so she could rub his tummy. He was

408
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:33.839
cutting up to her. Never met her before, absolutely loved her.

409
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.440
Wouldn't let me in the bed though he was in

410
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:44.039
the bed with her, wouldn't let me anywhere near her.

411
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.839
So that relationship didn't last long. Dane ended up getting

412
00:31:49.839 --> 00:32:01.519
married but had kids I think fourteen. Honestly, he loved her.

413
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:08.400
I didn't could not get my head around that. So

414
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:20.200
what else? And she was ginger, so I says him.

415
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:25.000
And then the next one was my I moved into

416
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:28.799
this house and there was a dog there. Oh, she

417
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.039
was so cute. She's only a puppy when I moved in,

418
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:36.119
so I used to take her for walks. No, no,

419
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.440
she wasn't living there to start with. I. So the

420
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.920
next one I lived with was my other friend. He

421
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:49.119
had a dog, and she always slept in a bed

422
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:54.240
with him, right under the covers, like never on top,

423
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.960
right under the cover, like really, and she she was

424
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.559
she wouldn't leave him alone, so she did didn't really

425
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.079
pay me much attention at all the whole time I

426
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:07.559
was living there with him, because she just adored him.

427
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:14.039
But I used to take her for walk sometimes and

428
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:17.519
if I was looking, because sometimes he'd go, he'd go abroad,

429
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:20.799
go to see family, and I'd look after her for

430
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.519
the weekend or for the week or whatever. So I'd

431
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.240
have to take her out and stuff. And she was

432
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:31.960
good as gold, really good, good dog. Used to lick

433
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:37.960
my feet, which I like. That was nice. And then

434
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:43.920
she was quite cuddly. She liked to cuddle as well.

435
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.960
And then the third dog, no, the fourth dog was

436
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.599
when I moved in to my cousins for the second time,

437
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:57.079
and she had a puppy this time when I moved back,

438
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:03.880
and I took the puppy for walks, long walks, and

439
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:11.559
I needed that. I so needed something, you know. It's

440
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:15.000
quite a difficult period. It was back in ninety seven,

441
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:22.920
summer ninety seven, and she really helped, this little dog

442
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.519
help me. And the cat there was a cat there

443
00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:30.559
as well that it took to me like no other

444
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.239
animals really taken to me before that. She took to

445
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.599
me so love me. This cat she scratched at my

446
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:43.039
bedroom door to come in, and she'd climb crawl up

447
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:46.599
and down my back and sometimes I say, well, let

448
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:50.719
me lay down first, and she, you know, it's a

449
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.519
bit less less scratchy when I was lying down, to

450
00:34:54.559 --> 00:35:02.159
be fair. But she's just so the peacefulness, the calmness

451
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:07.159
of the purr and and she just took to me.

452
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.320
I don't know why she was fully grown cat. It's

453
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:13.880
not like she was a puppy or anything but or

454
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:18.960
a kit and mother BlimE me, but this this dog

455
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.920
so cute, one of this little and I kind of

456
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:31.599
I lived there for four years and I didn't really

457
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:33.639
take it out for many walks later on, but I

458
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:37.000
did like early on, but it wasn't it wasn't my dog, so.

459
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:40.280
She was.

460
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:43.880
It was a girl as well, so she was definitely

461
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:48.719
a mummies girl, like she's waited for a mum to

462
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:51.920
come home. So yeah, she was.

463
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:52.280
She was.

464
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:54.000
She was a lovely kid, lovely girl.

465
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:56.280
And then.

466
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.960
Then LOGI I suppose is the next one. He's the

467
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.960
next dog, because I haven't had any other dogs live

468
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:12.519
in in I'm trying to think of all the different

469
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:18.000
places I've lived since then, since London, since that house.

470
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:21.119
That house, Yeah, that room that I lived in there,

471
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:36.119
there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

472
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.280
So this is the tenth place that I've lived in

473
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:43.119
since there.

474
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:42.960
And.

475
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.920
I left there in two thousand and one. So yeah,

476
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:51.440
I've lived in ten places since two thousand and one,

477
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:57.719
but I've been in this place for ten years. So

478
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:02.559
I lived in nine different places from two thousand and

479
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:16.320
one to twenty fourteen or twenty fifteen. Mm, yeah, I

480
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:19.079
think I've got all the places. I lose track a

481
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:23.159
little bit. I try and remember I kind of roughly, yeah,

482
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:29.800
got it mapped in my brain. So I guess Logi

483
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:35.079
was the first dog four since two thousand and one,

484
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:41.400
and when I got addicted from that place, so Logi

485
00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:46.480
was probably i'd say six years ago, maybe even seven

486
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:49.800
years ago, but it's hard to kind of really pinpoint

487
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:53.880
the year. So my friend got LOGI moved in. I

488
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:59.400
saw him nearly every day, lovely dog and apart from

489
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:03.480
a bother dog, but he was so excited. He'd come

490
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:06.599
upstairs and they'd love coming in here, and he'd chuck

491
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:10.400
stuff all around the place, like balls and bones, and

492
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:19.000
it's because Andre lived here, so he get excited. But

493
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:22.320
he didn't like Andre. He didn't dislike him as in

494
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.360
being aggressive. He was scared of Andre because Andre used

495
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:31.079
to come and bite him. It's true. And even though

496
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:37.079
bear in mind the size of Logi compared to Andre,

497
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:44.840
who was tiny compared to Vinnie, you know, Logi was

498
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:51.559
petrified of him, and Andre had no fear, like zero fear.

499
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:56.320
He would start He would start a fight with an elephant. Honestly,

500
00:38:56.400 --> 00:39:01.639
he didn't care. It wasn't scared of anything. And he

501
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:04.800
kept trying to buy it Logi's balls. I'm not even

502
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.559
joking he did. He just kept so Logi would be

503
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:12.239
like all just lay on his back and and Andre

504
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:17.840
would creep up. It's like I had to grab it

505
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:23.599
and like stop it because there's I don't think there's

506
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:27.079
probably a male on the planet that can watch that

507
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.239
and not just like no, and I'm kind of that

508
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:33.639
that's just no, leave that part of the body alone.

509
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:38.119
Just just no, no, no buying, no punching, just no kicking,

510
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:43.639
just just leave it alone. So leave it be, Andre,

511
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:47.400
leave it be. So I used to have to stop him,

512
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:51.679
but Logi would hide, he'd run and hide, but at

513
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:53.920
the same time he'd run in looking for him. Because

514
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:55.559
he loved him, but at the same time he was

515
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:59.119
scared of him. So he liked to play and they'd

516
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.920
play like a run around and stuff. But as soon

517
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:06.719
as Andre got a little bit rough, Logan didn't like it.

518
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:16.719
But not once did Logi ever ever growl or show

519
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:21.480
any kind of hostility towards Andrea. Ever, when he could

520
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:24.760
have literally swallowed him by accident, you know, if he

521
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:28.239
wanted to, if he could have just accidentally eaten him,

522
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:32.639
like maybe he was just eating a I don't know,

523
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:35.599
eating some bacon off the carpet. I don't know why

524
00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:38.760
bacon would be on a carpet and then just Onrea part,

525
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.159
and he just managed to eat him by accidents. But no,

526
00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:49.960
never happened. This was Andrea's. Andrea was the boss of

527
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:53.440
this place in the same way that Vini's the boss

528
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:59.559
of this place. But I think in some ways Andrea

529
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:03.800
was even all the boss. I do wonder how they

530
00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:07.960
would have got on them too, Vinnie and Andrea together.

531
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:10.239
I know I'm never going to know him I but

532
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:17.599
it does make me wonder how would they have Because

533
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:20.519
you've got Andre, who was not scared of anything, but

534
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.199
you've also got a little dog that he has got

535
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:31.000
that hunting instinct for little animals, and he also doesn't

536
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:35.320
back down, so it would be yeah, I don't know

537
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:38.960
if it would be a particularly good match. I think

538
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:42.679
it'd be fine if Vinnie was a puppy, because it

539
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:46.119
would know no different. You know, Andre had always been

540
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:51.400
there and he'd love him. But coming in at ten

541
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:54.960
months old, I don't know. I mean, he was still

542
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:58.039
technically like a puppy, I guess, but ten months old,

543
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:01.760
it's not really a puppy. Is that he's a toddler?

544
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:07.960
I guess at that age. Turned three at the end

545
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:14.000
of February. You believe it. I got him at ten

546
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:19.000
months old. Now he's three years, three months old. I

547
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:28.880
don't understand. It got so quick, so quick. I can't

548
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:36.760
believe he's now ninety five. So really, the most dog

549
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:41.280
walking I do is with Finny, like I not obviously

550
00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:43.800
you say, well, yeah, he's a dog. I don't mean

551
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:49.679
just now, but ever I used to take I used

552
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:53.639
to go to Nottingham and my friend had a dog there.

553
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.280
That's what I forgot about this. My dog had a friend.

554
00:42:56.519 --> 00:43:00.400
My friend had a dog, rather lovely dog, and I

555
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:03.519
should take him. I think he was a greyhound and

556
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:13.800
I should take him for walks and that was cool,

557
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:20.159
you know, he was a cool dog. But yeah, so

558
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:23.159
I forgot about that. So he had a dog. Also

559
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:26.440
also also also I did go on a holiday with

560
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:31.320
a friend who also had a dog, and I used

561
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:33.239
to take her for a little walks because we went

562
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:41.199
to corn Wall corn Wall during the lockdown I think

563
00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:47.440
it was two thousand and twenty two, twenty one, maybe

564
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:56.119
twenty one, yeah, twenty twenty one, and the everything was

565
00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:59.599
half closed. It was still it wasn't in full lockdown,

566
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:05.000
but there's so much stuff wasn't opening, including a pub

567
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:07.599
that was closing at six o'clock in the evening or

568
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:11.800
seven o'clock. What pub closes at seven o'clock in the evening.

569
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:16.960
And this was on a site full of holiday homes

570
00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:25.039
which weren't very busy for some reason. And so I

571
00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:27.920
took her for some walks and stuff, which is nice.

572
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:30.239
I think it was the first time I'd ever picked

573
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:34.760
dog poo up never, never, never picked dog poo up

574
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:39.679
before until I picked andres poo up in the past,

575
00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:43.159
but that dog poo never done dog poo before. Whenever

576
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:46.079
I walked a dog in the past, I just and

577
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:49.199
that's wrong. But back then there was no. It wasn't

578
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.079
a legal thing in a bag. So it's a legal

579
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:57.679
a legal requirement now, but you know, in the nineties

580
00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:01.840
and stuff, it wasn't. And I just it's not my dog,

581
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:06.280
not picking up, not to her. But yeah, I would

582
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:09.239
wouldn't be like that now because I'm now technically an

583
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:18.199
adult technically. And my friend's dog ran ran away. She

584
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:21.280
ran out of the house in this like holiday place.

585
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:26.559
So my friend's screaming, come back, Daisy, Rosie days Daisy.

586
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:31.920
So I'm like, I'm running after her. It's a little dog.

587
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:34.800
I'm like, I don't want it to run in the road.

588
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:38.519
You know, obviously she's a lovely dog. She's running. It's like,

589
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:42.320
I think it's turned into a game because I'm chasing her.

590
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:46.239
She's got this big, fat, wobbly thing running. Well said,

591
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:48.280
I'm going to use the word running very vaguely on

592
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:54.639
this one. And I end up falling over and toppling

593
00:45:54.719 --> 00:46:01.400
and rolling and all over the place. And it's amazing

594
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:04.079
how many people appear when you fall over in public.

595
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:08.440
Suddenly there was like all the neighbors were on their

596
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:15.039
grass outside their holiday homes, laughing, even a dog stopped

597
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:18.400
to have a laugh. That's how she got caught, like

598
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.280
you know, her friend my friends who managed to get

599
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:27.320
her because she was rolling around laughing at me. Now

600
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.840
I was in pain. You know. This is when I

601
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:35.840
was heavier than I am now, So I was you know,

602
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:39.039
one hundred and two kilos or whatever, maybe a little

603
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:42.559
bit more, so i'd like proper when I fell over,

604
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:48.239
I was bruising myself. I wasn't bruising myself as I

605
00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:52.840
was falling, but the fall bruised you know me, and

606
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:54.679
you know a little bit of a limp for the

607
00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:59.920
rest of the holiday. To be fair, it was a

608
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:04.559
little bit put on because laughing they laughing at her

609
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:07.480
just annoyed me a little bit. So you know, I'm hurt.

610
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:13.039
I'm hurt here. I've hurt my leg. I've hurt my leg.

611
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.880
And she said you haven't, have you? I said, yeah,

612
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:20.079
I have. We'll stand up. Then I said, I'm struggling

613
00:47:20.119 --> 00:47:23.840
to so can she still stop laughing? She said, no,

614
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:27.039
that's fine, I can't help it. You said, a look

615
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.599
like what you mean? Look at it's my leg. See

616
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:33.719
it's there, it's my leg hasn't fallen off. It's still

617
00:47:33.719 --> 00:47:38.199
there and he said, can you just walk? And can you?

618
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:43.559
I said, yeah, but it hurts. She's still laughing, like, really,

619
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:47.119
you don't understand it hurts a lot. So I decided

620
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.880
to limp, thinking that I might gain a little bit

621
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:55.719
of sympathy. It didn't work, but it did quite down

622
00:47:55.760 --> 00:48:00.639
the laughter a little bit. So for the rest of

623
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:05.719
the week, I'm limping, but my leg's fine, but I

624
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.760
kin'd of have to keep it going. It's a bit like,

625
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:14.360
you know, when you pretend to be a vegetarian, or

626
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:20.199
when I pretended to be interested in astronomy when I

627
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:23.639
was a kid and end up having six years worth

628
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:29.400
of books and stuff every Christmas and every Birthday something

629
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:33.480
to do with astronomy. And I had no interest in astronomy.

630
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:37.320
You know. All it was is I was just spying

631
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:41.679
on my next door neighbor sunbathing and through the binoculars,

632
00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:43.519
my dad's binoculars, and he said, what are you doing.

633
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:46.559
I said, I'm trying to see the stars And he said,

634
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:57.920
all this daytime, this is ridiculous. I said, I've always

635
00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:01.320
wanted to see I said, I can't see them. He said,

636
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:03.320
you don't really look as directly into the sun either,

637
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:08.000
because that could really cause problems for your eyes. I said, oh, okay,

638
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.440
I'm glad you got him in time. You really are

639
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:14.920
the best daddy. He said, okay, So you're interested in stars,

640
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.320
he said? He said yeah. He said, you sure you're

641
00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:20.239
not just looking at that the next door neighbor's sunbathing.

642
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:25.119
I said, where who? Oh? No, I didn't didn't see

643
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:29.440
her there rubbing oil. And no, I didn't didn't see it. No,

644
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:33.519
I had no idea. He said, okay, So if you

645
00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:36.480
were interested in the stars, why were you pointing towards

646
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.599
the garden next door. I said, I was just just

647
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:44.679
getting ready because the binoculars are so heavy, because I'm

648
00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:48.440
only little, and you're so big and strong, and you know,

649
00:49:48.559 --> 00:49:50.679
you can hold them with one hand, but I'm struggling

650
00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:53.159
to hold them with two. I mean, they weren't nearly

651
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:55.360
as big as my head, to be fair, and I'm

652
00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:58.239
struggling to look up. You know, what I really need

653
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:02.559
is a telescope. And he said okay. He took the

654
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:09.159
binoculars away. He said, I left them, and he went

655
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:11.679
to the next room. And I don't know what he

656
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:17.480
was doing, but I heard some weird noises. But he

657
00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:21.800
got me a telescope. I really didn't think anything was

658
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:25.519
coin of it got me a telescope. And then from

659
00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:31.360
then on, every Christmas, every Birthday, an atlas of the stars,

660
00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:36.960
a big picture of the moon, the history of telescopes.

661
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:42.159
Books that I couldn't even understand, Like every three words,

662
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:45.440
I didn't know what the word meant. I mean that's

663
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:51.679
pretty much most books, really, but especially dictionaries to Saurus,

664
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:59.800
what a stupid name. So I really just like, you know,

665
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:03.519
it's a little bit like there's not really anything like

666
00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:06.719
this at all, but you know, when you offer someone

667
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:11.599
I did this today, right, This is what I was

668
00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:15.480
going to talk about with Vinnie. He stole he stole

669
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:20.280
a ball. I was talking to this neighbor. She's not

670
00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:22.400
like a neighbor neighbor. She's a dog walker, lives up

671
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:25.199
the road. And she said, oh, I'm going to do

672
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:29.039
that later, and she pulled it to the wall, so

673
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:31.599
she had like a wall in front of her driveway

674
00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:34.280
with I said, what you're going to do to it?

675
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:40.280
She said, I'm going to dig up the all the weeds.

676
00:51:41.639 --> 00:51:43.320
I said, what are you going to use a streamer

677
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:45.719
or something? She said, no, I'm just going to he's

678
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:49.679
going to pull them up with my hands. I said,

679
00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:53.639
that hurt my back. He said, how how's me pulling

680
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:56.400
up with my hands going to hurt your back? I said,

681
00:51:56.440 --> 00:51:57.960
I mean if I was going to do it, it would

682
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:04.000
hurt my back. She said, you are for him? I said,

683
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:06.679
you want me to do it? Oh? Thank you. It's like,

684
00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:09.920
how the hell did that happen? And I said, I

685
00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:14.719
can't bend over and do it because I got my back.

686
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:17.960
It's just it's going to cause problems, so I can't.

687
00:52:18.159 --> 00:52:20.519
You know, But if you've got a streamer or a

688
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:24.519
what do you call it, where those things where you

689
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:28.599
can fly mo or whatever they're called. She said, yeah,

690
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:31.280
I've got one in the garden. I said, if you really,

691
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:33.800
she said no. I said, why do you say you

692
00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.760
got one in the garden fall Then she said, I

693
00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:37.559
thought it'd be better for your story when you tell

694
00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:41.599
it on the podcast, because you know, not having one

695
00:52:41.599 --> 00:52:43.719
that's pretty much brings it to the end, doesn't it.

696
00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:47.400
I said, okay. She says she would just pretend that

697
00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:49.320
I do have one so we can make the story

698
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:53.880
more interesting. I said, okay. So we went into a

699
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:57.400
guard into the shed, got a fly mo atatly touched

700
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:01.239
for years. I'm talking. She didn't even know if it

701
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:08.519
worked anymore, and you know it needed batteries. That's how

702
00:53:08.519 --> 00:53:12.559
old it was. It had gray hairs. I don't know that.

703
00:53:12.639 --> 00:53:17.199
M doesn't make sense, do it? And I said, well,

704
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:20.159
I kind of know how these things work. He said,

705
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:21.800
how long is it since you use one? I said

706
00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:27.239
that I was trying to think back, so it's only

707
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:35.039
about thirty years I saw. She said, is that all?

708
00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:38.119
I said, Yeah, that is a bit long, isn't it.

709
00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:42.280
She said yep, especially when you're waiting in a queue,

710
00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:47.519
which is a bit weird thing to say. And I

711
00:53:48.280 --> 00:53:51.400
just said, well, we can trust we can test it out.

712
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:55.079
I know roughly how to get the bit of string

713
00:53:55.119 --> 00:53:58.239
plastic thing out and then we'll plug it in. She

714
00:53:58.360 --> 00:54:01.400
got an extension lead and I ended up doing it.

715
00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:05.639
So it's one of those problems where this has happened

716
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:12.960
to me before I made an empty offer. It happened

717
00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:17.119
years ago. You know, someone was saying I'm going to move.

718
00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:22.079
I said that what you're doing this weekend? We're moving home.

719
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:25.840
Before I knew it, the wrong part of my brain said,

720
00:54:26.599 --> 00:54:36.159
do you need a hand? Oh brilliant, Thanks and it

721
00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:42.000
wasn't a genuine offer. It was just it was to

722
00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:44.760
be fair. They did help me move, so I can't

723
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:51.800
really moan. But it was just like, so what I

724
00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:54.559
tell people when if I offer something to someone and

725
00:54:54.599 --> 00:54:56.639
they said no, I said, well, it was an empty

726
00:54:56.639 --> 00:55:00.639
offer anyway, So I don't have that makes me look

727
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:05.199
a bit bad. Perhaps I need to rethink some of

728
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:10.719
the things I've said, not just from this recording. Ooh.

729
00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:16.360
I did a recording earlier, and the part it was

730
00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:20.719
like a body scan, I ended up talking about astronauts.

731
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:25.039
I'm not quite sure where my brain's going these days.

732
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:31.880
It's weird. I don't know. It's almost like I'm not

733
00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:35.519
sure if I can't go back to doing serious recordings anymore,

734
00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:42.280
to being all serious and all like solemn, and I

735
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:47.880
don't know what the right word is. It's like, yeah,

736
00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:52.239
I don't know if I can do that anymore. I'm

737
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:54.239
not sure the last time I actually did anything that

738
00:55:54.360 --> 00:56:00.760
was like super serious. Well maybe I have. But hey,

739
00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:03.920
I mean, so I'm doing.

740
00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:19.719
This this wall food mhm, and it.

741
00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:19.480
It's going quite well. I'm getting most of the wall

742
00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:23.360
done and then the thing breaks, you know, the thing

743
00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:25.920
snaps off, So I have to reput it on and

744
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:28.760
it snaps again. Then it snaps again, and I think

745
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:31.800
I change it or get it done about ten times

746
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:39.400
and then the thing just falls apart. It actually banged

747
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:49.119
against my leg, so m h. I ended up putting

748
00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:52.880
the sort of unplug it in and then put it back.

749
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:55.880
I just put it onto a in front of a porch,

750
00:56:56.000 --> 00:57:01.559
and after I stopped crying that once and where I

751
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:03.519
went to my ankle act we didn't go into my bit.

752
00:57:03.599 --> 00:57:06.920
It banged my ankle. I wonder if there's any mark there.

753
00:57:08.880 --> 00:57:17.599
I can't see in this light. But I was trying

754
00:57:17.639 --> 00:57:19.559
to get this stuff. She asked me if I had

755
00:57:19.559 --> 00:57:21.840
to look at this stuff, which is it was growing

756
00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:27.440
out of the concrete of the pavement and it just wasn't. Yeah,

757
00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:30.639
it wasn't doing the job, and I think I might

758
00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:35.760
have broken it because it might have been working before.

759
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:41.079
It did seem to be working okay before. But at

760
00:57:41.119 --> 00:57:46.719
the same time, yeah, I was a little bit concerned.

761
00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:51.159
I didn't want the because it was when I was

762
00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:54.920
doing the pavement, bits of gravel were like flicking back

763
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:58.079
at me and hitting me in the face. So that

764
00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:00.280
was probably a little clue that maybe it wasn't doing

765
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:09.039
it correctly, and the seagull landed on my head. Do

766
00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:13.559
you know what? The other day this bird flew right

767
00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:19.679
at me and just missed me by an inch. I'm

768
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:21.960
not even like making it up. I say, Okay, maybe

769
00:58:21.960 --> 00:58:24.800
not an inch, but I'm going an inch is quite

770
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:32.719
a lot. Okay, maybe it was okay, maybe a foot,

771
00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:35.239
but you know, to me, I think of an inch,

772
00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:37.960
and I think of a foot, but maybe yeah, maybe

773
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:41.320
a foot. But it missed me really close. It's like

774
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:48.360
just turned and it was at my head. I was like,

775
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:54.519
even a bird doesn't want to kiss me? No, I thought, wow,

776
00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:57.480
why would you? How? First, how could you miss my head?

777
00:58:58.519 --> 00:59:02.719
And secondly, like birds are so good normally, I've never

778
00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:09.920
had a bird fly into me, even at my biggest,

779
00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:13.679
at my girthiest, I've never had a bird fly into me.

780
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:22.639
I don't think. No, I haven't. No, no, I haven't

781
00:59:25.559 --> 00:59:34.679
not even a pigeon, I don't think. So I'm just

782
00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:42.480
thinking maybe I have No. No, I don't know. I

783
00:59:42.519 --> 00:59:46.880
don't think I have. So when I got Vinny, I

784
00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:51.760
started walking in straight away and it was weird because

785
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:57.639
this was blurh. What year was it? Anyone? Anyone got

786
00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:04.079
an idea what year it was two thousand and then

787
01:00:04.519 --> 01:00:14.199
twenty two December. Yep, I think it was twenty twenty two,

788
01:00:18.679 --> 01:00:23.880
and it was November twenty twenty three that my friend left,

789
01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:29.719
and then we're gone for all the way through twenty

790
01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:33.320
twenty four. Now were in twenty twenty five, so I've

791
01:00:33.360 --> 01:00:39.159
had him a while now. The first week I got him,

792
01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:45.800
it was snowing, which started snowing, and you know, I

793
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:49.760
got him on the Saturday. Start snowing on a Sunday

794
01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:55.679
something like that, but proper snow like it's settled. It

795
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:59.880
was really thick and everything, and I took him out

796
01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:06.639
and unless there was snow on the ground at the time,

797
01:01:06.639 --> 01:01:10.880
I don't think there was no snow all week ll

798
01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:12.800
till the next week, so it was snow on the ground.

799
01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:15.320
Then it turned to ice, of course, like it does.

800
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:21.960
I was wearing boots. I didn't slip nothing, apart from

801
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:27.119
once in the field. I did slip over some snow,

802
01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:29.159
but I didn't hurt myself because I fell in the snow,

803
01:01:29.800 --> 01:01:33.639
but that was because he led me down this ditch thing.

804
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:46.679
And I was like, I felt quite proud of myself

805
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:50.840
because I hadn't fallen over. Had slipped really apart from

806
01:01:50.840 --> 01:01:54.079
that one thing, but that was fine. But I didn't

807
01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:56.719
slip over on the pavement. I was wearing these big

808
01:01:56.760 --> 01:02:01.480
boots that were quite good grips, and like okay, and

809
01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:05.119
I was being really careful with my posture, even though

810
01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:07.519
he was trying to pull me each way and everywhere.

811
01:02:07.559 --> 01:02:11.800
And he was happy to be out in the snow,

812
01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:15.039
in the cold. He didn't care. He was just happy

813
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:19.519
just to be out and we were bonding. He was

814
01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:22.719
a bit naughty. It took a while for me and

815
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:26.280
him to sort of lay the ground rules a little bit,

816
01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:30.760
you know, and I tried to have him stay in here,

817
01:02:32.880 --> 01:02:39.840
but he just kept barking and stuff. And in the end,

818
01:02:40.360 --> 01:02:42.159
you know, I let him into the bedroom and he's

819
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:47.320
been sleeping in the bed ever since. But you know,

820
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:49.599
he didn't want to. I think when he first moved in,

821
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:52.360
he didn't want to be here, which is understandable. He

822
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:55.239
wanted to be where his home was, which was across

823
01:02:55.280 --> 01:02:58.000
the road. That's where he'd lived for the last three months,

824
01:02:59.280 --> 01:03:02.679
and it was only ten months old, so I was

825
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:06.039
literally his fourth place that he'd lived. He lived in

826
01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:08.880
a place where he was born until he was old

827
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:12.239
enough to move somewhere else. So he got his first

828
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.760
home and he was there for I don't know how long,

829
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:20.559
a couple of months or whatever, three months, and then

830
01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:26.679
she became unwell, had to give him back or phoned

831
01:03:26.760 --> 01:03:30.039
up the breeders that can can you take him back

832
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:33.320
and find him a home, So they took him back.

833
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:39.159
He then stayed with a family member of theirs for

834
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:43.440
three months or two two or three months, and then

835
01:03:44.199 --> 01:03:46.280
sold it to me, sold it, sold him to me.

836
01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:50.599
So I was the fourth home that he'd lived in.

837
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.199
So I think he was a little bit over, you know,

838
01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:56.400
all over the place. I'm sure he loved every single

839
01:03:56.440 --> 01:04:00.800
person he was around, and he was around a females.

840
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:06.320
So I was the first only male that he'd lived

841
01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:10.559
with it lived. The first place he lived there was

842
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:14.800
females and a man. The second place he lived there

843
01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:17.159
was just a female. The third place he lived there

844
01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:19.480
was just a female. And then he moved in with me.

845
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:23.280
And he's got a real affection for females, he just has.

846
01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:26.920
He's he loves men as well, but he loves women.

847
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:31.119
He's got a real Yeah, there is you consider more

848
01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:35.599
affection there for women than there are for men. But

849
01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:38.880
he's still got more affection for men than he has

850
01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:42.719
for dogs. He loves prefers humans. He's got a couple

851
01:04:42.719 --> 01:04:45.960
of friends that he absolutely adores. But the rest of

852
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:49.480
the time, if he sees a dog, like with a human,

853
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:52.800
he'll go up to the human. He goes so low

854
01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:56.400
to a human before he says a load. From before

855
01:04:56.400 --> 01:04:57.639
he says the loads of a dog, you'll say a

856
01:04:57.679 --> 01:05:03.920
load to the human. So that's how he is, and

857
01:05:03.960 --> 01:05:06.119
it's weird. So we got through that whole period of

858
01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:12.360
snow ice nothing. The day it rained that day, I

859
01:05:12.360 --> 01:05:15.280
think it was a Wednesday or Tuesday. The following week

860
01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:21.920
it rained, all the ice was gone. My friend downstairs

861
01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:24.840
called up bring him. Do you want to bring him

862
01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:28.480
out into the garden with LOGI right, And this was

863
01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:31.800
like ten o'clock or something like that. Nine o'clock. So

864
01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:34.480
I go down with me crocs, not the pink ones

865
01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:38.760
I got now, but the other ones, and I slip.

866
01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:42.199
So he's run down without the lead on, just run

867
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:47.119
down into the garden. My friend standing not right at

868
01:05:47.119 --> 01:05:48.800
the bottom of the stairs, but you know, so he

869
01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:51.400
could see me. He was just standing waiting for me,

870
01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:55.400
and I slipped, probably three steps down the top, and

871
01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:57.920
then I slipped and I bounced all the way down

872
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:03.320
to the bottom, and my friends laughing, which I probably

873
01:06:03.360 --> 01:06:05.880
would have laughed as well, had to not fractured my back,

874
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:15.760
but I hadn't. Luckily I had my coat on. Now,

875
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:21.440
if I had not had my coat on, I could

876
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:25.679
have really really hurt myself, like but and this coat

877
01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:30.719
was quite padded, got like a winter coat. So I'm

878
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:36.159
glad I did that. Yeah, so I slipped and bounced

879
01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:40.960
down the stairs. And that was the reason I mentioned

880
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:47.440
this is because mentioned this is because the following after

881
01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:52.159
that day, for quite a few weeks, I'm still taking

882
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:56.360
in for walks. I'm still having to bend down and

883
01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:00.119
pick up you know, his poos and stuff. It was

884
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:11.679
so hard, it was just really like almost impossible. In fact,

885
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:14.679
I shouldn't have really been doing it. I don't think

886
01:07:14.719 --> 01:07:17.000
it was probably a good idea to be bending over

887
01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:21.559
with fractured back. I had fractures in two places, and

888
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:26.440
I don't think it was a problem walking around, But

889
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:30.360
the bending over is I'm not sure how helpful that

890
01:07:30.519 --> 01:07:34.239
was to the healing. Maybe it was useful. I don't

891
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:37.360
know enough about fractures of the back to know about that.

892
01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:43.559
But it did heal. And that was just such a

893
01:07:43.639 --> 01:07:50.880
weird way to start my dog walking experience with my

894
01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:53.039
own dog, because he's the first time I've had my

895
01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:58.199
own dog. I've only I've had three fourth I had

896
01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:04.559
a couple of goldfish I have. I had a a

897
01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:10.920
budgy once, and then I had a I had Andre,

898
01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:14.559
but he was my son and Vinnie's my son. But

899
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:19.880
there's I need to, you know, kind of responsible situations

900
01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:24.159
I've been in. But Vinnie was the first dog that

901
01:08:24.199 --> 01:08:28.159
I ever had to look after and to you know,

902
01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:31.520
to live with and to be in charge or to

903
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:38.359
be responsible for. It was such a weird start to

904
01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:44.039
be literally limping. I was limping. I was using I

905
01:08:44.119 --> 01:08:51.079
was using because I had this what did I have?

906
01:08:51.520 --> 01:09:02.159
I had a what did I have? Had an umbrella,

907
01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:04.960
but it was it had a.

908
01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:06.880
Like a walking stick on the end of it, So

909
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:09.359
I was using that to help me to get a

910
01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:14.520
look to get around. It was weird, honestly, and I

911
01:09:14.560 --> 01:09:16.680
was starting to hold onto that while I bent over

912
01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:22.600
and so I didn't fall over. It was strange. And

913
01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:26.680
then when I first started and taken him out for walks,

914
01:09:26.920 --> 01:09:32.680
we didn't really go into the field or to the parks.

915
01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:39.439
We started off walking around the pavement, and because I'd

916
01:09:39.479 --> 01:09:43.319
never really okay, I think it was because with Andrea,

917
01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:46.439
I used to take him walking around the estate, so

918
01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:56.560
I kind of it had been it had been a

919
01:09:56.640 --> 01:10:07.479
while to how long it had been, had it been, Yeah,

920
01:10:07.479 --> 01:10:10.359
it been a while year and a bit since Andre.

921
01:10:11.439 --> 01:10:16.079
So I automatically just took him the same route that

922
01:10:16.079 --> 01:10:18.760
I used to take Andre, or the Andre used to

923
01:10:18.760 --> 01:10:26.319
take me. And so we'd walk around the pavement around

924
01:10:26.359 --> 01:10:31.039
the estate and then go through the park. And I'll

925
01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:33.680
be taking him out late at night, early hours of

926
01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:42.000
the morning. And then then they changed the lights and

927
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:44.600
the lights were a lot dimmer than they were previously.

928
01:10:45.560 --> 01:10:49.000
They changed all and I just couldn't see, couldn't see

929
01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:51.119
really where I was going. So I don't go out

930
01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:57.960
late at night anymore. It might just be my eyesight.

931
01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:04.840
I don't know. I'm nowise sure. This has been strange

932
01:11:05.039 --> 01:11:09.600
taking him out, because since I've had him, I stop

933
01:11:09.640 --> 01:11:15.039
at the pavement, I say wait, wait. He does wait hmmm.

934
01:11:15.920 --> 01:11:18.079
He kind of palls as well, but he will wait

935
01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:26.119
sometimes and what I say is slowly cross slowly. One

936
01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:29.680
of the few things I say to him, and it's

937
01:11:29.760 --> 01:11:35.119
not a big request, is it, you know, just slowly.

938
01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:39.800
And I've been saying the same thing to him every

939
01:11:39.800 --> 01:11:42.199
time we cross the road since I've had him, and

940
01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:49.399
he still pulls. So I just there. But that's it.

941
01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:55.439
That's that's my history of dog walking. Got to know

942
01:11:55.479 --> 01:11:58.920
a few people over the years with Finny, which is good.

943
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:03.640
And I was invited into someone's house today for the

944
01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:06.520
first time, well not the first time being invited, but

945
01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:11.279
the first time that I actually went inside, and one

946
01:12:11.279 --> 01:12:13.720
of the neighbors as before I wanted a cup of tea.

947
01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:17.479
I said no. I didn't say no, I said no, thanks,

948
01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:20.479
so because I was just going to come home, so

949
01:12:20.600 --> 01:12:22.279
I all, being a bit under the weather, I didn't.

950
01:12:22.800 --> 01:12:28.199
I was just taking him out just to get some

951
01:12:28.319 --> 01:12:31.319
air and have a nice a long walk and then

952
01:12:31.319 --> 01:12:36.920
come back. And you know, but had he had an

953
01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:41.479
opportunity to have a sniff around her house and go

954
01:12:41.600 --> 01:12:45.720
into the garden, and he loved it. And he gets

955
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:49.199
on really well with with his friend, the other dog,

956
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:53.439
and they got on really well. And she she said,

957
01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:56.039
that's not always a case. Sometimes a dog walks when

958
01:12:56.199 --> 01:13:00.520
they sail when they're walking, but when they're together, like

959
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:04.199
they don't always get on very well with the dog,

960
01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:07.640
not him and her, but you know sometimes the other dogs.

961
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:11.319
Her dog doesn't like the other dog being in her house,

962
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:20.239
but she seemed fine with any So yeah, it's I

963
01:13:20.279 --> 01:13:24.720
think there was a period once Andre was gone that

964
01:13:25.479 --> 01:13:28.680
I wasn't out. I wasn't going out because I was

965
01:13:29.039 --> 01:13:31.560
I didn't have to take Andre out for walks because

966
01:13:31.800 --> 01:13:35.000
you know, basically he didn't need to. I just took

967
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:38.600
him out firstly because I wanted to and when he

968
01:13:38.680 --> 01:13:41.479
wanted to. So it was a mixture of both. He

969
01:13:41.560 --> 01:13:45.680
loved going out or weather, didn't care. I wasn't a

970
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:50.239
big fan of the rain or the wind, but didn't

971
01:13:50.239 --> 01:13:54.000
care about snow, didn't care the heat. He did get

972
01:13:54.119 --> 01:13:57.399
very hot. But big thing about it is that if

973
01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:00.479
he got if he got tired, he just him up

974
01:14:00.720 --> 01:14:04.199
and he'd go into my jacket and just go to sleep.

975
01:14:05.439 --> 01:14:08.319
So what he would do, he'd walk. It'd walk me,

976
01:14:08.880 --> 01:14:12.279
says Under. He'd walk ahead of me and he'd lead

977
01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:15.880
me into the middle of nowhere in the fields as

978
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:19.840
far away as he could get. And then he just

979
01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:27.079
claps on the floor and say pick me up. So

980
01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:30.520
I'd pick him up, or he'd just stop and put

981
01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:33.439
his put his hands against my legs for me to

982
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:37.880
pick him up, and I'd pick him up, and I

983
01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:39.680
didn't have to ask him what he wanted because he

984
01:14:39.680 --> 01:14:43.800
would literally climb into the top of my jacket and

985
01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:46.560
that'll be it. Go to sleep, and a weird thing

986
01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:51.039
about it, right, guaranteed. I mean, there was no point

987
01:14:51.079 --> 01:14:53.439
in me caring on walking because it's going to take

988
01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:57.600
me an hour to walk back. Bless him. Why he

989
01:14:57.680 --> 01:15:00.600
didn't just let me walk back. He wouldn't. He had

990
01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:05.479
to go as far away as possible, guaranteed. Just before

991
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:08.680
I got to the exit, you know, the original entrance.

992
01:15:08.720 --> 01:15:12.239
When I was back nearly home, his head will pop up,

993
01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:18.319
look around, and they want to get out. So when

994
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:21.079
we were five minutes away from home, his head would

995
01:15:21.079 --> 01:15:30.279
pop up every single time. He's so funny. It's like

996
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:40.359
he knew he just knew strange. So, I don't know,

997
01:15:40.439 --> 01:15:44.279
maybe like Liam Neeson in Taken two, he could count

998
01:15:44.319 --> 01:15:49.640
the steps, maybe he knew the sounds from the different Yeah.

999
01:15:49.960 --> 01:15:51.359
Do you remember that bit where he's in the back

1000
01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:53.520
of the van or is it taken three I don't know,

1001
01:15:53.880 --> 01:16:01.359
or Taken nine? So yeah, so it's been I think

1002
01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:04.920
that period between having Andrea and having Vinnie, where I

1003
01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:09.479
wasn't going out. I started walking around the same route

1004
01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:11.600
that I used to take andre sometimes, but it was

1005
01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:20.319
it wasn't the same being on my own. And then

1006
01:16:20.359 --> 01:16:25.239
when I got Vinnie, it's got me out of the house,

1007
01:16:27.039 --> 01:16:30.239
which is a good thing. I don't enjoy it a lot.

1008
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:32.800
Sometimes I don't want to go out. I don't want

1009
01:16:32.800 --> 01:16:34.039
to get out of bed, and I don't want to

1010
01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:37.600
go out in the rain and stuff. But I think

1011
01:16:37.680 --> 01:16:45.880
ultimately it's it's been good for me to have that movement,

1012
01:16:46.079 --> 01:16:55.600
to have that those fleeting conversations with humans that you know,

1013
01:16:55.720 --> 01:17:00.199
those small bits of interaction. It's probably useful. Maybe I'm

1014
01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:09.000
not sure, but he loves being outside. I think he'd

1015
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:13.239
spend his whole day out there if he could. Really,

1016
01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:15.199
I don't think he'd want to come in. He'd come

1017
01:17:15.239 --> 01:17:17.159
in for a little sleep and then to go out again.

1018
01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:19.720
If I had a little cat flap which he could

1019
01:17:19.720 --> 01:17:23.920
fit through, I don't know. Maybe he'd need a little

1020
01:17:23.960 --> 01:17:27.199
bit bigger slightly. Yeah, he's probably a little bit too

1021
01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:31.560
big for a cat flap. I'm not sure. Actually, he

1022
01:17:31.600 --> 01:17:34.960
probably could fit for a big cat flap, but he would, Yeah,

1023
01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:37.479
he'd be in and out all day long. But also

1024
01:17:37.920 --> 01:17:42.600
if there was also dog flaps or cat flaps, vinnie

1025
01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:46.399
flaps in all the other doors in this building, he'd

1026
01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:48.319
be in and out of those doors, in and out

1027
01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:53.319
of those flats. And if you put them in all

1028
01:17:53.359 --> 01:17:57.680
the houses in the road, he'd be in and out

1029
01:17:57.760 --> 01:18:02.199
of all those houses. Seriously, everybody would know who he

1030
01:18:02.319 --> 01:18:05.039
is because it'd be in and out standing loads of

1031
01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:12.039
people begging for treats. It's a proper scrounger. And he

1032
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:17.960
would be huge. He would be absolutely huge, And one

1033
01:18:18.039 --> 01:18:26.479
day he would get stuck in the cat flap. That's guaranteed. Ah,

1034
01:18:29.640 --> 01:18:33.319
I think I kind of stuck to the subject Monday's

1035
01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:39.720
boring objects dog walking, So I think I did so.

1036
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:46.039
Right now it is, what's it caught? Past eight pm?

1037
01:18:46.079 --> 01:18:50.960
I'm not sure if I'm going to edit this tonight.

1038
01:18:51.000 --> 01:18:53.880
I'll do it in the morning when I wake up.

1039
01:18:56.600 --> 01:18:59.119
I might do it tonight. I don't know. It's hard

1040
01:18:59.119 --> 01:19:08.119
to know, isn't it hard to guess? Really? Really, so

1041
01:19:08.520 --> 01:19:11.479
thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself

1042
01:19:11.560 --> 01:19:16.720
because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle

1043
01:19:16.720 --> 01:19:21.800
with yourself, because you also deserve to feel safe, lots

1044
01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:31.880
of love. Bye, little flappy ears right at the end.

1045
01:19:32.039 --> 01:19:34.760
What was that? You always know? When I finished the recording,

1046
01:19:34.840 --> 01:19:48.439
don't you? Yes? Becauld you say good bye? Relax in

1047
01:19:48.520 --> 01:19:59.239
a more deep and meaningful way, Maybe in a way

1048
01:19:59.399 --> 01:20:08.079
that can not just allow you to feel calmer now

1049
01:20:09.119 --> 01:20:17.760
and throughout the time we spend together here, not just

1050
01:20:17.960 --> 01:20:23.600
relaxed at the end of the recording when it's finished

1051
01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:30.199
and you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace,

1052
01:20:34.960 --> 01:20:47.760
but also I think it would be nice to have

1053
01:20:48.279 --> 01:21:05.279
those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after the recording

1054
01:21:05.359 --> 01:21:18.800
has ended, so that you can still benefit from listening

1055
01:21:19.680 --> 01:21:28.600
to my voice, maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow,

1056
01:21:34.640 --> 01:21:42.479
and then by listening regularly, especially if you find like

1057
01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:46.079
some people do and myself as well. I sometimes I

1058
01:21:46.239 --> 01:21:56.800
find one particular recording that really resonates with me, and

1059
01:21:56.840 --> 01:22:02.079
I just listen to it over and over again every morning,

1060
01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:14.800
every evening. There was this recording from We're going back

1061
01:22:14.840 --> 01:22:20.399
to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it

1062
01:22:20.439 --> 01:22:25.520
was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis really,

1063
01:22:27.960 --> 01:22:33.159
and I managed to find it again and it still

1064
01:22:33.239 --> 01:22:38.840
has the same effect on me. And part of it

1065
01:22:39.000 --> 01:22:53.840
was the person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful,

1066
01:22:55.840 --> 01:23:02.319
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

1067
01:23:02.399 --> 01:23:13.119
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even

1068
01:23:13.880 --> 01:23:22.319
pressing the play button that since I've done that, pressed

1069
01:23:22.359 --> 01:23:30.920
the play button. This is in the days of CD

1070
01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:39.800
players press the play button. I fact, it might have

1071
01:23:39.840 --> 01:23:44.199
even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on

1072
01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:57.079
the bed and then even without necessarily listening to her

1073
01:23:57.279 --> 01:24:10.199
words because I had them memorized. Really, it was as

1074
01:24:10.239 --> 01:24:20.920
if my body knew exactly what to do, and the

1075
01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:43.119
muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember

1076
01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:57.279
my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening

1077
01:24:57.319 --> 01:25:04.119
to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,

1078
01:25:06.640 --> 01:25:14.479
and long before I ever made any videos or audio

1079
01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:19.319
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two

1080
01:25:19.319 --> 01:25:38.680
thousand and six, I knew, I knew how helpful I

1081
01:25:38.760 --> 01:25:49.039
found being able to just let go, to have that

1082
01:25:49.399 --> 01:26:02.000
trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing that

1083
01:26:02.119 --> 01:26:10.479
it's going to be just as relaxing, if not more so.

1084
01:26:13.079 --> 01:26:20.079
Each time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

1085
01:26:26.399 --> 01:26:41.000
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,

1086
01:26:41.840 --> 01:26:45.880
maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

1087
01:26:47.640 --> 01:26:54.159
but maybe people come back. Some people may be listen

1088
01:26:54.239 --> 01:27:10.800
every day. That's something that I do which you may

1089
01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:30.000
not realize by listening, is when I record these recordings.

1090
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:31.880
Now.

1091
01:27:32.000 --> 01:27:44.560
For example, I also am affected by the words that

1092
01:27:44.640 --> 01:27:56.840
I say. So if I set you focus on your feet,

1093
01:27:59.319 --> 01:28:07.079
notice your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1094
01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:29.399
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said

1095
01:28:29.520 --> 01:28:37.199
focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between

1096
01:28:37.239 --> 01:28:47.479
each hand, perhaps notice that the air in the room,

1097
01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:52.840
the temperature of the room on the backs of your hands.

1098
01:29:00.640 --> 01:29:04.560
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

1099
01:29:04.680 --> 01:29:12.720
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1100
01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:19.239
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

1101
01:29:26.239 --> 01:29:36.840
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

1102
01:29:37.199 --> 01:30:05.399
aware of how relaxed my hands are feeling now. And

1103
01:30:05.560 --> 01:30:12.479
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

1104
01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:26.680
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

1105
01:30:28.920 --> 01:30:42.399
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

1106
01:30:50.319 --> 01:31:02.920
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

1107
01:31:07.760 --> 01:31:16.880
and then I carry on talking. And it's only when

1108
01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:26.319
I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring,

1109
01:31:28.199 --> 01:31:35.520
and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

1110
01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:45.560
It's snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I

1111
01:31:45.640 --> 01:31:53.880
sound like when I snore, I get really into the

1112
01:31:55.760 --> 01:32:13.960
whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How relaxed

1113
01:32:14.039 --> 01:32:24.159
do you feel in your feet, How relaxed you feel

1114
01:32:24.319 --> 01:32:51.119
in your hands? I have noticed more and more are

1115
01:32:51.159 --> 01:33:07.359
the more relaxed, deeper live of comfort you feel, the

1116
01:33:07.560 --> 01:33:28.119
easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation.

1117
01:33:32.479 --> 01:33:53.479
So this allows you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing

1118
01:33:55.680 --> 01:34:21.279
on your breath, however, being able to notice the ease

1119
01:34:24.680 --> 01:34:51.279
in which you breathe so naturally. You breathe so very

1120
01:34:51.520 --> 01:35:40.239
easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when

1121
01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:55.560
I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize a

1122
01:35:55.720 --> 01:36:09.920
beautiful field, true breeze and flowers producing all of that

1123
01:36:11.960 --> 01:36:44.720
life giving oxygen. And it feels nice too, if nothing else,

1124
01:36:47.920 --> 01:37:22.079
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling

1125
01:37:22.439 --> 01:38:13.039
of peace, serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to

1126
01:38:13.199 --> 01:38:48.319
just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful,

1127
01:38:58.239 --> 01:40:00.800
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

1128
01:40:07.520 --> 01:40:58.880
noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because

1129
01:40:59.079 --> 01:41:27.640
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical

1130
01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:39.640
sensations of allowing the stress to drip out of your body,

1131
01:41:46.159 --> 01:42:09.039
d appear out of every part of your body, and

1132
01:42:09.479 --> 01:42:49.000
being released from your brain. Hunge your mind slowly but surely.

1133
01:42:55.800 --> 01:43:33.239
The muscles in your legs relax res rex so very deeply,

1134
01:43:43.039 --> 01:44:14.039
relax so deeply. And the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

1135
01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:40.800
your arms and shoulders, deepening each part of your body

1136
01:44:41.960 --> 01:45:20.399
further and deeper and deep noticine, the feelings in the

1137
01:45:20.439 --> 01:46:20.399
back of your neck, the feelings in your wrists, muscles

1138
01:46:22.439 --> 01:46:45.439
in the front of your body, I will say, feeling

1139
01:46:50.199 --> 01:47:26.000
peaceful deeply. There's a sense of peace spreads through your

1140
01:47:26.199 --> 01:47:27.319
very cool.

1141
01:47:57.520 --> 01:47:59.000
Even when you.

1142
01:48:02.000 --> 01:49:01.840
Focus on your mind, her mind becomes be and slowerven, deeper, relax,

1143

the way down the middle of your back, sending and

01:51:42.079 --> 01:52:04.760
receiving millions of messages every day. The comfort increase in

01:52:15.279 --> 01:52:17.920
deeply relaxed.

1149
01:52:47.399 --> 01:53:14.840
Knees, relax.

1150
01:53:18.119 --> 01:53:27.359
Spreading those signals down your spine or cord into air,

1151
01:53:27.640 --> 01:53:46.359
every part of your body, your shins and your calf

1152

01:56:31.039 --> 01:57:12.680
happy to let go, let go completely, let go, so tranquil,

1157
01:57:36.840 --> 01:59:23.199

Us leading in.

1161
02:02:18.960 --> 02:02:43.640
Letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the different

1162
02:02:44.039 --> 02:03:18.840
parts of your body, just to notice your forehead and

1163
02:03:19.079 --> 02:04:25.520
your eyes, Chu said, noticing the sense of complete freedom,

1164
02:04:37.600 --> 02:05:39.640
absolute freedom. Dress day, dress day.

02:05:52.039 --> 02:05:52.840
He's on.

1166
02:05:54.880 --> 02:06:35.640
Energy paste to breeze such ease.

1167
02:06:36.000 --> 02:07:18.079
Yeah, loose.

1168
02:07:39.399 --> 02:08:29.439
You may have or may not have noticed your mind drifted, peaceful,

1169
02:08:43.560 --> 02:09:04.800
moved even more deeply in the direction of dotal blissful pace,

1170
02:09:09.000 --> 02:09:40.079
blissful pace, direft.

1171
02:10:27.479 --> 02:11:39.199
Time to pace, let him go, peace of.

1172
02:11:39.560 --> 02:12:53.760
Mind, re body so relaxed, relaxed, A body feels almost invisible,

1173
02:13:08.960 --> 02:13:54.119
so the very relaxed. I paceful, so pace relax like God.

1174
02:14:10.199 --> 02:14:35.000
So and you could start to notice that you are

1175
02:14:35.239 --> 02:14:46.720
feeling more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your

1176
02:14:46.960 --> 02:14:55.319
mind upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing

1177
02:14:55.479 --> 02:15:04.319
within you throughout your body, and your mind starts to

1178
02:15:04.439 --> 02:15:14.439
slow down. And that could be almost in recognition of

1179
02:15:16.760 --> 02:15:28.840
I guess my speech not being particularly fast, and things

1180
02:15:29.239 --> 02:15:39.279
just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice,

1181
02:15:42.399 --> 02:15:49.319
you give yourself an opportunity to take a break from

1182
02:15:49.399 --> 02:15:55.920
the day, take a break from your life as it is,

1183
02:15:59.319 --> 02:16:06.920
and to give you self arrest, giving yourself permission to

1184
02:16:07.079 --> 02:16:12.319
take some time off, and to allow your body to

1185
02:16:12.439 --> 02:16:22.159
relax and allow your mind to slow down, which in

1186
02:16:22.319 --> 02:16:30.199
turn releases the tension, any stresses that you had in

1187
02:16:30.279 --> 02:16:40.120
your body. It's almost as if the parts of your

1188
02:16:40.159 --> 02:16:52.200
body just open up, allowing the negativity out and at

1189
02:16:52.200 --> 02:17:00.479
the same time replacing that negativity with positive healing energy,

1190
02:17:03.559 --> 02:17:08.159
which then fills your body up and your mind to

1191
02:17:09.799 --> 02:17:27.920
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence and

1192
02:17:28.120 --> 02:17:44.719
an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads

1193
02:17:45.159 --> 02:17:56.000
through your body like a wave of comfort. And all

1194
02:17:56.079 --> 02:18:08.079
this comes from just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe

1195
02:18:08.239 --> 02:18:10.840
half an hour hour long you want it to be,

1196
02:18:12.360 --> 02:18:24.239
to just rest and allow your mind and your body

1197
02:18:26.520 --> 02:18:43.280
to almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

1198
02:18:47.559 --> 02:18:56.920
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness

1199
02:19:00.959 --> 02:19:09.760
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

1200
02:19:10.559 --> 02:19:15.159
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,

1201
02:19:19.440 --> 02:19:29.120
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness.

1202
02:19:34.200 --> 02:19:41.639
And it feels nice, really does feel nice to know

1203
02:19:41.920 --> 02:19:50.799
that you are the one that has allowed yourself to

1204
02:19:51.079 --> 02:20:00.079
feel more comfort and to experience.

1205
02:20:01.879 --> 02:20:03.000
More of this.

1206
02:20:04.799 --> 02:20:19.920
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1207
02:20:21.520 --> 02:20:27.280
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1208
02:20:27.479 --> 02:20:42.000
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1209
02:20:44.520 --> 02:20:54.200
It becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.

1210
02:20:58.239 --> 02:21:03.399
And as I move down on your body, starting at

1211
02:21:03.479 --> 02:21:09.479
your head, the parts that you have already focused on

1212
02:21:10.239 --> 02:21:19.120
or continue to relax deeply, and those parts that have

1213
02:21:19.920 --> 02:21:31.479
not yet focused on or just automatically release any remain

1214
02:21:31.639 --> 02:21:45.399
intention in anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now,

1215
02:21:47.799 --> 02:21:53.959
I'm going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just

1216
02:21:54.159 --> 02:22:02.639
being aware the feelings of your forehead and then your

1217
02:22:02.719 --> 02:22:10.200
background sounds like mister Herbert the Pigeon can just allow

1218
02:22:10.319 --> 02:22:17.440
you to feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in

1219
02:22:17.559 --> 02:22:25.600
the moment. This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This

1220
02:22:25.799 --> 02:22:33.600
is the world. I live in the countryside, so there's

1221
02:22:33.719 --> 02:22:44.000
lots of nature sounds around. So as you focus on

1222
02:22:44.120 --> 02:22:51.719
your forehead, just notice how it becomes even more relaxed.

1223
02:22:54.559 --> 02:23:01.840
Focus only on my voice and that part of your body.

1224
02:23:07.040 --> 02:23:15.319
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1225
02:23:17.799 --> 02:23:27.520
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1226
02:23:27.559 --> 02:23:34.000
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1227
02:23:34.239 --> 02:23:48.680
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1228
02:23:49.159 --> 02:23:55.760
your tongue, your teeth, and your guns, the whole of

1229
02:23:55.920 --> 02:24:10.719
your mouth relaxing, calm and lease. As you focus now

1230
02:24:11.559 --> 02:24:18.639
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jawney,

1231
02:24:18.799 --> 02:24:23.200
your mouth, and your chin, but all the way up

1232
02:24:23.959 --> 02:24:30.000
the size of your face to your ears, the hole

1233
02:24:30.719 --> 02:24:57.680
of your jaw feeding more relaxed and calm, focusing on

1234
02:24:57.920 --> 02:25:03.280
your neck, the front of your neck and your throat

1235
02:25:05.520 --> 02:25:16.239
relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of your neck,

1236
02:25:18.319 --> 02:25:25.280
the right and left side of your neck relaxed and

1237
02:25:26.840 --> 02:25:40.440
lease and calm. And now the back of your neck,

1238
02:25:43.760 --> 02:25:53.719
focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of

1239
02:25:53.959 --> 02:26:00.639
any tension that may have been there before. And joy

1240
02:26:00.799 --> 02:26:11.239
in that sense of increasing comfort and release.

1241
02:26:13.479 --> 02:26:24.559
That you can experience in the back of your neck, Moving.

1242
02:26:24.399 --> 02:26:31.000
Down your back, and moving either side of your spine

1243
02:26:32.280 --> 02:26:37.000
right from the top of your back all the way

1244
02:26:37.239 --> 02:26:49.879
down to the bottom of your back down to your

1245
02:26:49.959 --> 02:27:02.680
lower back. As you move up and down spine, you

1246
02:27:02.799 --> 02:27:09.920
can feel the muscles either side of your spine relaxing

1247
02:27:10.639 --> 02:27:24.000
even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense of

1248
02:27:24.280 --> 02:27:34.920
comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into both

1249
02:27:35.159 --> 02:27:42.200
sides of your back, the top of your back, the

1250
02:27:42.399 --> 02:27:50.719
middle end your lower back. And as you scan gently

1251
02:27:51.239 --> 02:27:58.639
and slowly up and down your back, there's the muscles

1252
02:27:58.799 --> 02:28:03.920
in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1253
02:28:08.239 --> 02:28:14.239
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1254
02:28:14.360 --> 02:28:23.879
to just almost divide from each other. Separating and almost melting,

1255
02:28:29.680 --> 02:28:35.639
and in your lower back there seems to be an

1256
02:28:35.680 --> 02:28:49.879
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips.

1257
02:28:52.159 --> 02:29:00.559
Sit down your lower back, into your hips, into area

1258
02:29:00.639 --> 02:29:09.159
where your cosix are, and into your buttocks and all

1259
02:29:09.200 --> 02:29:18.479
those muscles that spread bring your lower back into your

1260
02:29:18.600 --> 02:29:31.799
hip area, start to melt, start to reading, let go

1261
02:29:38.520 --> 02:29:43.360
and even know where about to focus on your shoulders.

1262
02:29:45.120 --> 02:29:52.079
Your back and your spine will continue to let go,

1263
02:29:55.159 --> 02:29:58.520
continue to relax.

1264
02:30:01.399 --> 02:30:04.959
So calmly.

1265
02:30:09.719 --> 02:30:15.239
As you focus on your shoulders, you may notice they're

1266
02:30:15.479 --> 02:30:45.719
already feeling really loose. They're already feeding calm, and they

1267
02:30:46.040 --> 02:30:58.959
feeling those muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders.

1268
02:31:05.559 --> 02:31:35.200
Feels so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm. The

1269
02:31:35.399 --> 02:31:48.879
feeling in your shoulders seems to spread deep into your shoulders,

1270
02:31:50.920 --> 02:31:59.799
a sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply into almost

1271
02:32:03.639 --> 02:32:16.120
but also relaxing with the bones and move it all

1272
02:32:16.239 --> 02:32:24.760
the way to underneath your arms, relaxing a whole area

1273
02:32:24.959 --> 02:32:34.719
between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms healing.

1274
02:32:40.159 --> 02:32:40.799
You feel so.

1275
02:32:42.760 --> 02:32:54.239
Relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sense that.

1276
02:32:56.479 --> 02:32:58.479
Deep healing.

1277
02:33:01.520 --> 02:33:19.000
Message into your arms. You may feel almost as if

1278
02:33:19.079 --> 02:33:26.360
your arms are not even that because they're so relaxed.

1279
02:33:28.799 --> 02:33:28.879

Lets me go everything. So I'm gonna start counting down now,

02:46:53.120 --> 02:47:01.840
from twenty down to one. You can imagine in a

1300
02:47:01.879 --> 02:47:07.719
way it's like just walking down some steps and each

1301
02:47:07.920 --> 02:47:13.559
step or twenty steps, and each step represents a level

1302
02:47:14.079 --> 02:47:26.840
of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of that comfort,

1303
02:47:33.479 --> 02:47:39.120
and the furvies you walk down those steps, the deeper

1304
02:47:39.559 --> 02:47:50.399

down from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

1310
03:09:00.639 --> 03:09:09.120
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1311
03:09:10.639 --> 03:09:27.680
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1312
03:09:27.760 --> 03:09:29.319
we count down from.

1313
03:09:29.360 --> 03:09:45.319
Ten down to one, whilst focusing on your eyes, you become.

1314
03:09:46.959 --> 03:09:59.040
Twice is relaxed. With each number counting down, that you

1315
03:09:59.239 --> 03:10:06.239
may find and the all you want to do is

1316
03:10:06.760 --> 03:10:15.959
just drift off to sleep. And if that's what you want,

1317
03:10:19.040 --> 03:10:32.000
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

1318
03:10:32.159 --> 03:10:39.479
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten

1319
03:10:39.840 --> 03:13:26.920
down to one right now, ten nine eighth.

1320
03:12:49.120 --> 03:16:04.280
N i ustius four.

1321
03:17:17.520 --> 03:20:58.079
Three swo.

1322
03:20:06.799 --> 03:20:18.079
Counting down from ten to one ten nine eight seven

1323
03:20:20.200 --> 03:20:42.799
six five four three two one. And maybe that was

1324
03:20:42.840 --> 03:20:47.040
a bit too quick in order to relax. Maybe it's

1325
03:20:47.040 --> 03:20:52.959
a bit too fast for you to notice the calming

1326
03:20:53.200 --> 03:20:59.799
of your body, maybe even a little bit of pressure,

1327
03:21:00.239 --> 03:21:03.760
like you're counted down from ten to one. Would you

1328
03:21:03.879 --> 03:21:07.079
expect me to do man, expect me to just to

1329
03:21:07.159 --> 03:21:16.639
go with floppy just because you're counting down. If you

1330
03:21:16.799 --> 03:21:20.079
try it again, but this time, I'll go a bit

1331
03:21:20.200 --> 03:21:27.440
slower this time, as you focus on the whole of

1332
03:21:27.520 --> 03:21:34.319
your body before we focus on your legs. Just notice

1333
03:21:35.920 --> 03:21:48.680
how your body does start to feel more relaxed with

1334
03:21:49.959 --> 03:22:43.159
every number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.

1335
03:22:50.319 --> 03:22:50.799
Three.

1336
03:23:04.079 --> 03:23:41.799
Two one, And just notice how how you feel, generally,

1337
03:23:42.239 --> 03:23:56.520
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

1338
03:23:56.680 --> 03:24:03.760
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

1339
03:24:05.120 --> 03:24:23.600
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

1340
03:24:28.319 --> 03:24:33.479
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

1341
03:24:33.680 --> 03:24:40.280
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So

1342
03:24:41.000 --> 03:24:44.000
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1343
03:24:44.079 --> 03:24:55.040
a space, a gap. And the more I came down

1344
03:24:55.120 --> 03:25:02.479
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1345
03:25:02.600 --> 03:25:14.920
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort and relaxation. It's

1346
03:25:14.959 --> 03:25:28.600
a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts

1347
03:25:28.680 --> 03:25:41.479
physically or emotionally moves them away. Allows you.

1348
03:25:44.239 --> 03:25:44.760
To just.

1349
03:25:47.719 --> 03:25:54.440
Slow down. Someone to count again from ten down to one,

1350
03:25:54.879 --> 03:26:04.360
and notice that gap widening, the gap and is is

1351
03:26:04.399 --> 03:26:10.479
it widens? It's almost like the stress and attention falls

1352
03:26:10.760 --> 03:26:31.719
into the gap gives you that distance that space. Now

1353
03:26:36.520 --> 03:27:21.319
ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1354
03:27:32.159 --> 03:27:32.719
Four.

1355
03:27:50.799 --> 03:28:07.760
Three two.

1356
03:28:26.079 --> 03:28:26.319
One.

1357
03:28:37.840 --> 03:28:42.239
Now, how does your body feel.

1358
03:28:44.200 --> 03:28:44.360
Now?

1359
03:28:57.079 --> 03:29:08.959
Can you notice that? Do you feel a calmer? Are

1360
03:29:09.000 --> 03:29:37.719
you feeling more relaxed? As we now focus on your legs,

1361
03:29:39.440 --> 03:29:59.760
just your les. We're just gonna start with focusing on

1362
03:30:00.360 --> 03:30:19.479
your thighs. Of course, it's not the most exciting thing

1363
03:30:19.639 --> 03:30:26.159
to be doing because I'm sure like most of your

1364
03:30:26.200 --> 03:30:37.879
body is not a lot going on right now. Just

1365
03:30:38.079 --> 03:30:44.200
focusing on the whole of your thighs, the tops of

1366
03:30:44.280 --> 03:30:50.360
your thighs, the sides of your thighs, the bottoms of

1367
03:30:50.440 --> 03:30:57.399
your thighs, your outer thighs, and you're inner thighs. Basically

1368
03:30:57.600 --> 03:31:01.239
the whole of your thigh that leads into your hip

1369
03:31:05.319 --> 03:31:16.079
and it goes down to your knee joints. Now, this

1370
03:31:16.239 --> 03:31:23.680
is a big area. It's a very heavy area. It's

1371
03:31:23.879 --> 03:31:30.280
very strong, probably the strongest muscles in your body or

1372
03:31:30.360 --> 03:31:46.719
in your thighs. But I don't think we perhaps give

1373
03:31:46.879 --> 03:32:00.120
enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge how

1374
03:32:00.200 --> 03:32:22.079
important our thighs are to our lives, how much they

1375
03:32:22.159 --> 03:32:35.600
actually do for us all through our lives. And it

1376
03:32:35.840 --> 03:32:41.760
may seem sound really weird, but I think that all

1377
03:32:41.879 --> 03:32:49.440
of our body parts, especially our thighs, need some TLC,

1378
03:32:52.799 --> 03:33:06.000
a bit of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement, thank you,

1379
03:33:09.120 --> 03:33:21.440
gratitude for what our thighs do for us. And I

1380
03:33:21.600 --> 03:33:27.280
know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think,

1381
03:33:27.719 --> 03:33:30.479
why am I sure that I should be out in

1382
03:33:30.600 --> 03:33:39.159
the garden hugging a tree or something. Wow, it's hard

1383
03:33:39.200 --> 03:33:42.360
to set a microphone up on a tree. That's why

1384
03:33:42.360 --> 03:33:45.040
I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be outside hugging

1385
03:33:45.079 --> 03:33:48.559
a tree. I can't see the television from the tree.

1386
03:33:55.280 --> 03:33:59.520
If you move down to your knees gain such an

1387
03:33:59.559 --> 03:34:07.200
important what a part. And I think we don't necessarily

1388
03:34:08.760 --> 03:34:16.399
I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all

1389
03:34:16.520 --> 03:34:21.319
that I need to do for me until I have

1390
03:34:21.440 --> 03:34:24.840
a problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever

1391
03:34:26.399 --> 03:34:30.360
maybe i'll bash it or it's aching for some reason.

1392
03:34:32.120 --> 03:34:38.280
It's then that I realize how much it does. You know,

1393
03:34:38.399 --> 03:34:44.360
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1394
03:34:46.120 --> 03:34:53.360
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's

1395
03:34:53.600 --> 03:35:01.959
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know, that's comfort.

1396
03:35:06.079 --> 03:35:10.680
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1397
03:35:10.760 --> 03:35:18.239
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude

1398
03:35:19.799 --> 03:35:22.399
and love to your knees for all that they do

1399
03:35:22.600 --> 03:35:35.600
for you, and you can still have that attention on

1400
03:35:35.719 --> 03:35:42.280
your thighs. Maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe you

1401
03:35:42.600 --> 03:36:00.000
notice that they are relaxing more deeply as you folks

1402
03:36:00.360 --> 03:36:05.920
now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins and

1403
03:36:06.000 --> 03:36:12.600
your calf muscles, the bones between your knees and your

1404
03:36:12.680 --> 03:36:25.680
feet incorporate, and of course your ankles so important. You know,

1405
03:36:25.719 --> 03:36:30.520
anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain of an

1406
03:36:30.559 --> 03:36:38.639
ankle knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

1407
03:36:44.559 --> 03:36:46.559
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

1408
03:36:46.639 --> 03:36:52.239
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

1409
03:36:52.399 --> 03:36:57.239
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1410
03:36:57.360 --> 03:37:01.040
it doesn't I can't see any problem with that because

1411
03:37:01.040 --> 03:37:07.079
we're just picking stuff up by our ankles so much

1412
03:37:07.360 --> 03:37:17.000
thinner than the rest of our legs, and from a

1413
03:37:17.120 --> 03:37:21.959
physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense

1414
03:37:23.319 --> 03:37:30.680
that all this weight would ultimately be resting on your

1415
03:37:30.760 --> 03:37:45.760
ankles then leading to your feet. That thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

1416
03:37:45.840 --> 03:37:51.559
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1417
03:37:51.639 --> 03:38:03.520
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps you

1418
03:38:03.719 --> 03:38:17.000
to get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1419
03:38:17.040 --> 03:38:24.639
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1420
03:38:24.719 --> 03:38:31.040
pointing calf muscles. Didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if

1421
03:38:31.079 --> 03:38:34.639
I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get

1422
03:38:34.719 --> 03:38:38.399
some work. But of course that's not true. The calf

1423
03:38:38.520 --> 03:38:48.159
muscles are being used whenever we use that legs and

1424
03:38:48.319 --> 03:39:00.840
your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped in

1425
03:39:00.920 --> 03:39:13.479
a way almost as a protector for the bone, leading

1426
03:39:14.840 --> 03:39:25.239
of course to your ankles and your feet. But we're

1427
03:39:25.280 --> 03:39:27.200
not going to focus on your feet. We're just going

1428
03:39:27.239 --> 03:39:33.600
to focus on the legs. I realize, and now that

1429
03:39:33.719 --> 03:39:38.159
I haven't mentioned your feet, you'll probably focusing on them anyway,

1430
03:39:38.719 --> 03:39:41.280
So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.

1431
03:39:45.280 --> 03:39:49.719
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1432
03:39:49.799 --> 03:39:54.159
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1433
03:39:54.280 --> 03:40:00.079
haven't been focusing on your thighs a few minutes and

1434
03:40:00.200 --> 03:40:10.840
we're focus in on your ankles, there's still that sensation

1435
03:40:11.120 --> 03:40:26.440
of comfort in your thighs, and there's that movement of

1436
03:40:26.799 --> 03:40:36.239
energy because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1437
03:40:36.319 --> 03:40:41.040
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1438
03:40:41.280 --> 03:40:54.600
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of

1439
03:40:54.680 --> 03:40:59.920
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1440
03:41:00.799 --> 03:41:12.360
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1441
03:41:18.920 --> 03:41:26.440
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1442
03:41:26.520 --> 03:41:31.280
the blood, vessels, the arch trees, to all this stuff

1443
03:41:31.399 --> 03:41:40.520
that's inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice

1444
03:41:40.520 --> 03:41:44.840
if you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs

1445
03:41:45.479 --> 03:41:50.680
and a message, so you can message on the outside,

1446
03:41:50.840 --> 03:41:53.799
of course, but to be able to get deep into

1447
03:41:53.879 --> 03:41:59.360
the muscles, to be able to just message inside your thighs,

1448
03:42:00.239 --> 03:42:08.680
message in the bones of your leg, massage in all

1449
03:42:08.760 --> 03:42:19.920
the veins, just gently heathing thighs and you can move

1450
03:42:20.079 --> 03:42:27.440
down message and inside your knees, just message in those bones.

1451
03:42:28.479 --> 03:42:35.479
But with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into

1452
03:42:35.600 --> 03:42:36.600
the choice.

1453
03:42:37.799 --> 03:42:38.360
Your knees.

1454
03:42:43.799 --> 03:42:47.479
Of course, there's the back of your your need and

1455
03:42:47.600 --> 03:42:53.600
the inside crease where your need is. It's a very

1456
03:42:53.799 --> 03:42:59.680
sensitive area. Three it feels very nice when you stroke it.

1457
03:43:01.079 --> 03:43:04.440
That might be because it's an area that's not really

1458
03:43:04.639 --> 03:43:11.120
touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that

1459
03:43:11.479 --> 03:43:15.719
crease in your legs. It's almost.

1460
03:43:17.639 --> 03:43:18.399
Like a part that.

1461
03:43:20.200 --> 03:43:31.440
Has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,

1462
03:43:31.479 --> 03:43:42.000
it's protected by your legs, So you can imagine putting

1463
03:43:42.879 --> 03:43:52.719
your fingers into that crease in your legs. Folded in

1464
03:43:52.840 --> 03:43:56.760
between your legs, you can just message with your fingertips.

1465
03:43:57.959 --> 03:44:04.040
Imagine your fingertips going in side, massage in the muscle

1466
03:44:04.120 --> 03:44:12.920
or tissue. You can of course field the bones of

1467
03:44:13.040 --> 03:44:24.920
your knees, heading through your fingertips, and then as you

1468
03:44:25.040 --> 03:44:30.840
go down to your calf muscles. And that's the part.

1469
03:44:30.879 --> 03:44:34.959
I'd like to be able to really put my fingertips

1470
03:44:35.079 --> 03:44:44.559
deep inside my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue

1471
03:44:44.680 --> 03:44:55.840
of that muscle, healing every part, and then doing the

1472
03:44:55.959 --> 03:45:04.120
same for my shins, message and generally stroking the bones,

1473
03:45:05.879 --> 03:45:11.559
generally stroking them healing in a loving way because they

1474
03:45:11.639 --> 03:45:18.040
deserve to be treated. There's the precious bones that they are,

1475
03:45:19.360 --> 03:45:22.600
because our legs are so precious as in all the

1476
03:45:22.680 --> 03:45:28.040
other parts of our body, the more precious of any

1477
03:45:28.200 --> 03:45:43.520
chul on the planet. When you start to think about

1478
03:45:46.920 --> 03:45:55.719
your legs in this way, it can change your perspective.

1479
03:45:58.479 --> 03:46:04.200
It might sound a bit a bit silly to start

1480
03:46:04.280 --> 03:46:11.040
with the idea of having love for your legs, showing

1481
03:46:11.120 --> 03:46:19.319
appreciation for your thighs, wanting to be able to put

1482
03:46:19.399 --> 03:46:27.920
your hands in your thighs, massage the muscles and the bones,

1483
03:46:29.799 --> 03:46:35.520
and to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

1484
03:46:38.399 --> 03:46:47.040
just to show how much you care about your legs,

1485
03:46:47.920 --> 03:46:51.680
how much you care for what your legs do for

1486
03:46:51.799 --> 03:47:05.399
you regularly, your knees, your cars, your an the strength

1487
03:47:05.559 --> 03:47:13.600
of your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to

1488
03:47:13.760 --> 03:47:20.280
the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, this

1489
03:47:20.600 --> 03:47:32.840
so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are

1490
03:47:36.719 --> 03:47:41.760
truly a gift because of what they do for you,

1491
03:47:47.280 --> 03:47:54.239
supporting all that weight, regardless of how what weight you are,

1492
03:47:55.399 --> 03:47:59.799
even if you only eat ate stone, it's still a

1493
03:48:00.079 --> 03:48:06.879
lot of weight for these little ankles. How a lot

1494
03:48:07.159 --> 03:48:17.200
heavier than eight double down get My ankles support my

1495
03:48:17.319 --> 03:48:24.600
body all the time, whether they do give off a

1496
03:48:24.719 --> 03:48:30.120
sigh of relief when I sit down, that's in fact

1497
03:48:30.120 --> 03:48:39.120
my whole legs, though my feet feels to go. My

1498
03:48:39.280 --> 03:49:09.520
toes clap so happy. Your legs really are amazing. And

1499
03:49:09.600 --> 03:49:13.280
I know they're talking about. Talking about your legs is

1500
03:49:13.360 --> 03:49:20.000
probably possibly among the most most boring things I've ever

1501
03:49:20.680 --> 03:49:29.000
heard anyone say. Possibly you're boring or not. Everything I

1502
03:49:29.120 --> 03:49:45.040
said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs deserve

1503
03:49:46.079 --> 03:50:04.079
not just respect, because they deserve to relax deeply. They

1504
03:50:04.239 --> 03:50:09.559
deserve to take some time out of the day to

1505
03:50:09.799 --> 03:50:46.399
just let go completely. The legs really can relax because

1506
03:50:46.440 --> 03:50:50.399
the legs are so such a most you know, very

1507
03:50:50.440 --> 03:50:56.159
important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1508
03:50:56.280 --> 03:51:03.520
the rest of your body also really follows in that

1509
03:51:07.239 --> 03:51:18.079
journey of comfort. Like I feel it in my hips.

1510
03:51:19.479 --> 03:51:26.600
My hips feel really loose, and also my lower back

1511
03:51:26.639 --> 03:51:33.239
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1512
03:51:34.399 --> 03:51:37.440
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1513
03:51:37.520 --> 03:51:42.760
no stretching as far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1514
03:51:43.799 --> 03:51:46.440
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1515
03:51:46.680 --> 03:51:52.600
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension

1516
03:51:53.479 --> 03:52:14.719
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

1517
03:52:14.840 --> 03:52:25.079
down from ten downs one. You can continue to fill

1518
03:52:26.879 --> 03:52:28.600
wonderfully relaxed.

1519
03:52:31.840 --> 03:52:39.520
Ten nine, eight.

1520
03:52:43.040 --> 03:52:51.079
Seven, six, five.

1521
03:52:55.479 --> 03:52:59.639
Four three.

1522
03:53:03.520 --> 03:53:24.159
Tube Why relax? So I'm just going to count down

1523
03:53:25.680 --> 03:53:30.479
five down to one. And as a countdown, if you

1524
03:53:30.639 --> 03:53:37.520
just focus on the numbers, just the numbers counting down,

1525
03:53:38.559 --> 03:53:47.719
and notice how you feel in this moment as you

1526
03:53:47.840 --> 03:53:55.399
hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting

1527
03:53:55.479 --> 03:54:05.600
down represent you feeling calmer, not just in your body,

1528
03:54:05.799 --> 03:54:14.120
but also relaxing your mind. I just notice how you feel.

1529
03:54:15.040 --> 03:54:20.920
There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing

1530
03:54:21.079 --> 03:55:04.120
to think about, starting with number five four three two one.

1531
03:55:13.559 --> 03:55:26.000
And as you notice the gradual letting go the tension

1532
03:55:26.200 --> 03:55:33.319
in your body, you may also begin to notice and

1533
03:55:33.520 --> 03:55:42.520
be aware of how your mind is starting to slow down.

1534
03:55:45.000 --> 03:55:51.360
This is just a natural thing that happens. It's not

1535
03:55:51.559 --> 03:55:56.760
really a special procedure. It's just natural because as your

1536
03:55:58.079 --> 03:56:04.040
body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax. And the

1537
03:56:04.159 --> 03:56:07.479
more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1538
03:56:07.639 --> 03:56:08.200
It's just a.

1539
03:56:08.360 --> 03:56:20.879
Continuous circle of relaxation, and there's that calmness that comes

1540
03:56:21.040 --> 03:56:28.280
from relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background

1541
03:56:28.520 --> 03:56:35.360
sounds either your side online is still going to be

1542
03:56:36.719 --> 03:56:41.040
quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on,

1543
03:56:41.639 --> 03:56:45.840
there's no music in the background, unless you're listening to

1544
03:56:45.959 --> 03:56:53.639
the recorded with music. Of course, you're very likely not

1545
03:56:53.760 --> 03:56:55.799
going to be sitting in a room with other people.

1546
03:56:56.719 --> 03:57:01.559
Of course you might be, but generally more ideal if

1547
03:57:01.600 --> 03:57:06.440
you can do this on your own, so no distractions,

1548
03:57:12.600 --> 03:57:25.559
and when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises.

1549
03:57:27.920 --> 03:57:38.680
A sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying

1550
03:57:38.719 --> 03:57:47.639
to build it up into something fantastical or something magical,

1551
03:57:49.760 --> 03:57:59.879
this is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish.

1552
03:58:02.760 --> 03:58:07.120
In fact, it's almost you know, the sense of relaxing

1553
03:58:07.959 --> 03:58:13.680
completely happens really when you put no effort into it.

1554
03:58:14.719 --> 03:58:20.399
It's not something that you can really force. It's something

1555
03:58:20.559 --> 03:58:31.280
that happens naturally. And part of the process of this

1556
03:58:31.600 --> 03:58:43.559
recording and others is simply two allow you to take

1557
03:58:43.600 --> 03:58:47.120
advantage of this space.

1558
03:58:49.799 --> 03:58:54.040
This time, it's just.

1559
03:58:58.200 --> 03:58:58.479
Let go.

1560
03:59:01.600 --> 03:59:09.840
To just be here, to be in tune with how

1561
03:59:09.920 --> 03:59:23.319
you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax

1562
03:59:23.440 --> 03:59:34.799
deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what

1563
03:59:34.959 --> 03:59:41.120
it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.

1564
03:59:48.120 --> 03:59:57.440
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process

1565
03:59:57.600 --> 04:00:02.760
of falling asleep to fall. The sleep part is the

1566
04:00:02.879 --> 04:00:10.680
tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become,

1567
04:00:14.639 --> 04:00:32.280
the easier you find yourself drifting. But you can also

1568
04:00:32.479 --> 04:00:42.520
if you choose, stay focused on my voice and really

1569
04:00:43.040 --> 04:01:12.719
enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle in your body

1570
04:01:17.799 --> 04:01:46.920
effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.

1571
04:01:52.959 --> 04:01:57.000
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one.

1572
04:02:02.159 --> 04:02:05.440
You can notice your mind.

1573
04:02:07.760 --> 04:02:09.879
Calming down more.

1574
04:02:11.000 --> 04:02:22.639
With each number that you hear me say, actually feeling

1575
04:02:24.680 --> 04:02:38.079
calm and slow, beeaceful, sex.

1576
04:03:03.799 --> 04:03:24.639
Five, four.

1577
04:03:56.559 --> 04:05:34.479
Thre being aware how your mind to slowed right down,

1578
04:05:37.760 --> 04:06:01.159
sinking deeply into relaxation. As you find on your mind,

1579
04:06:01.440 --> 04:06:11.360
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,

1580
04:06:13.959 --> 04:06:23.520
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

1581
04:06:23.600 --> 04:06:38.799
your attention. That's what you can do is send love

1582
04:06:39.000 --> 04:06:52.520
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love. I do

1583
04:06:52.799 --> 04:06:58.760
petals from a flower. Just sprinkle over them petals feel

1584
04:06:58.799 --> 04:07:05.959
good love towards those thoughts to let those thoughts know

1585
04:07:06.280 --> 04:07:12.760
that you're not abandon the number. You just need them.

1586
04:07:13.959 --> 04:07:25.000
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet

1587
04:07:25.399 --> 04:07:41.360
down for now, so as you focus on those remaining thoughts.

1588
04:07:42.639 --> 04:07:46.680
As we count down this time from seven down to one.

1589
04:07:48.280 --> 04:08:02.319
With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

1590
04:08:03.920 --> 04:08:15.760
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1591
04:08:17.239 --> 04:08:32.239
not away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts

1592
04:08:32.360 --> 04:09:27.479
will become more and more relaxed. Starting with number seven, six, five,

1593
04:09:40.719 --> 04:11:28.879
four four. Let's you now notice how relaxed your feeling

1594
04:11:32.600 --> 04:11:48.159
in your body. We got to focus on your hands

1595
04:11:54.000 --> 04:12:00.680
because the AI relaxed you hands on the ext your

1596
04:12:00.799 --> 04:12:24.000
body and mind. You focus on your hands and your fingers.

1597
04:12:29.520 --> 04:12:34.280
There's nothing needed to be done. There's no clinching of

1598
04:12:34.600 --> 04:12:38.920
fists or dens and the fingers or anything like that.

1599
04:12:46.360 --> 04:13:00.239
It's just noticing and focusing on your hands. Notice, see,

1600
04:13:00.319 --> 04:13:21.840
barely feel because the all but aks your hands feel,

1601
04:13:25.360 --> 04:13:38.639
the calpy your mind feels, comforts you feel throughout your body.

1602
04:13:44.559 --> 04:13:47.719
Jee may.

1603
04:13:50.000 --> 04:14:15.079
Have already noticed you a mind is starting.

1604
04:14:17.840 --> 04:14:19.079
To drest.

1605
04:14:32.319 --> 04:14:46.559
Quick said, just on your hands and fingers, allowing and

1606
04:14:47.879 --> 04:15:01.200
cheat experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your

1607
04:15:01.319 --> 04:15:28.399
hands and fingers or relaxed with each number from eight

1608
04:15:30.840 --> 04:15:46.440
down to one. Almost feel like healing, relax energy, spread

1609
04:15:46.559 --> 04:16:06.760
it into your hands and fingers, becoming year relaxing with

1610
04:16:07.200 --> 04:16:25.600
each number going down, eight down to one, to drift

1611
04:16:25.719 --> 04:16:36.440
down to drift in again. Started with.

1612
04:16:41.040 --> 04:20:37.520
Number eight, seven, four three, just being here.

1613
04:20:37.959 --> 04:20:47.920
Now nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,

1614
04:20:52.040 --> 04:21:03.639
and everything just feels calm. This is your natural state

1615
04:21:03.760 --> 04:21:04.200
of being.

1616
04:21:07.879 --> 04:21:13.239
This is how you just normally feel when you take

1617
04:21:13.319 --> 04:21:17.239
away all that other stuff.

1618
04:21:19.239 --> 04:21:24.280
That we add and thinks like stress and way we're hear.

1619
04:21:27.239 --> 04:21:28.200
O't think.

1620
04:21:31.239 --> 04:21:39.520
Anxiety ten ship thinking about so.

1621
04:21:42.200 --> 04:21:45.079
Take that away. This is what you do.

1622
04:21:45.879 --> 04:21:58.360
What you do now, You left with your sense of

1623
04:21:59.319 --> 04:22:11.040
need some which comes to you very quickly because ansom plead.

1624
04:22:11.520 --> 04:22:25.440
It's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort. Most as

1625
04:22:25.479 --> 04:22:29.559
if you've got inside yourself, you've found in a special

Like yourself, appreciate who do you want, a sense of gratitude.

See the air around that's also a place where you

04:24:20.319 --> 04:24:32.600
Healing energy soaking into your body, A healing energy spreads

1637
04:24:33.639 --> 04:24:43.280
through your veins, traveling to each every single part.

1638
04:24:44.760 --> 04:24:54.760
Of your body. You start to realize to actually a

04:24:55.040 --> 04:25:00.760
healing energy. It's not just enter the to your brain,

1640
04:25:03.600 --> 04:25:13.120
it's become a part of your brain. The spinal fluid

1641
04:25:15.799 --> 04:25:26.840
is now mixed the energy, not just allowing you to

1642
04:25:27.200 --> 04:25:34.840
feel so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment,

1643
04:25:39.319 --> 04:25:48.719
but also you start to realize that actually, what's happening

1644
04:25:48.959 --> 04:25:57.520
now without a healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body

1645
04:25:59.719 --> 04:26:10.559
actually changing your life. That's actually changing the way you're

1646
04:26:10.639 --> 04:26:17.120
going to feel, not just now, but tomorrow and the

1647
04:26:17.239 --> 04:26:26.600
next day. As your health improves, not just your physical

1648
04:26:26.719 --> 04:26:34.280
health but your mental health. Things that used to bother

1649
04:26:34.399 --> 04:26:41.520
you in the past, for some reason, no longer have

1650
04:26:41.760 --> 04:26:49.000
the effect that they used to because something has changed

1651
04:26:50.559 --> 04:27:01.639
deep within you. Maybe things that used to cause you

1652
04:27:01.959 --> 04:27:14.280
to feel anger. No longer have that power to control

1653
04:27:14.399 --> 04:27:19.360
you the way they seem to be able to before.

1654
04:27:23.040 --> 04:27:33.840
As you realize that you're the one who decides what

1655
04:27:34.159 --> 04:27:45.879
affects you, You're the one who decides to feel relaxed

1656
04:27:46.719 --> 04:27:59.520
and calm when you choose to enjoy. Noticing these natural

1657
04:28:00.559 --> 04:28:05.399
developments and healing.

1658
04:28:07.559 --> 04:28:09.559
Continue to grow.

1659
04:28:12.120 --> 04:28:23.440
And improve your life day by day, including of course,

1660
04:28:23.520 --> 04:28:36.280
your ability to relax so much easier and sleep in.

1661
04:28:40.879 --> 04:28:46.559
It's the most natural thing in the world to you

1662
04:28:51.040 --> 04:28:54.639
because for in, the sleep is something that you've done

1663
04:28:57.680 --> 04:29:05.319
so many times in your life, and you know that

1664
04:29:05.559 --> 04:29:10.799
you were born, as we all were, with the ability

1665
04:29:12.399 --> 04:29:23.200
to fall asleep naturally. We were born with that ability.

1666
04:29:25.680 --> 04:29:27.520
To just drift.

1667
04:29:29.000 --> 04:29:40.840
Off into a deep, healing sleep. Even when we're kids,

1668
04:29:42.479 --> 04:29:45.239
sometimes as will fall asleep. Orm or Daddy don't want

1669
04:29:45.319 --> 04:29:51.879
to try to think stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday

1670
04:29:51.959 --> 04:29:56.079
in the morning, though it's Christmas or holiday or something

1671
04:29:56.200 --> 04:29:57.000
we look forward to.

1672
04:29:57.600 --> 04:29:58.799
I don't want to go to sleep.

1673
04:30:01.040 --> 04:30:06.000
But the more we want to stay awake, the more

1674
04:30:06.280 --> 04:30:14.559
we just start to drift. And the more you fights drifting,

1675
04:30:15.479 --> 04:30:20.280
which might stop yourself and drift in a sleep the

1676
04:30:20.479 --> 04:30:32.680
detail is strongerout drifting becomes because we're born not just

1677
04:30:32.879 --> 04:30:39.600
with the need to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep,

1678
04:30:42.799 --> 04:30:56.120
but it's out birthright. It's part of our DNA, and

1679
04:30:56.399 --> 04:31:01.799
sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at times

1680
04:31:02.760 --> 04:31:16.719
we have gotten relaxing completely. It's not only a wonderfully

1681
04:31:17.120 --> 04:31:41.159
pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very very easy

1682
04:31:42.520 --> 04:31:46.239
to let go, because that's all it is.

1683
04:31:46.399 --> 04:31:46.879
It's just.

1684
04:31:50.399 --> 04:32:02.319
Decided to let go. When you press the play button

1685
04:32:04.600 --> 04:32:12.799
on my recordings, you have given permission from my voice

1686
04:32:14.399 --> 04:32:21.760
to reaction. When you pressed that play button, you have

1687
04:32:21.920 --> 04:32:30.440
given me permission for my words to effect.

1688
04:32:32.479 --> 04:32:33.440
You in a.

1689
04:32:33.680 --> 04:32:52.000
Positive, openly, a positive way, opening up your mind to

1690
04:32:55.920 --> 04:32:59.719
useful and he.

1691
04:33:01.680 --> 04:33:14.959
Suggestions they can have such an amazing effect.

1692
04:33:17.240 --> 04:33:28.599
On how you feel right now, as well as those

1693
04:33:29.000 --> 04:33:31.959
changes that continue.

1694
04:33:33.119 --> 04:33:43.200
Long after the recording ends, those changes within you, they

1695
04:33:43.319 --> 04:33:53.880
continue to flourish and growth, transforming your life.

1696
04:33:55.799 --> 04:34:08.360
In positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in

1697
04:34:08.520 --> 04:34:15.040
your life in the direction that you choose for yourself.

1698
04:34:24.400 --> 04:34:25.639
This feeling.

1699
04:34:28.080 --> 04:34:36.119
Is feeling that you in experience a safety, comfort, calmness.

1700
04:34:43.880 --> 04:34:57.880
This feels so nice, such a healthy place to be

1701
04:35:05.759 --> 04:35:11.159
and that positivity grows within you.

1702
04:35:16.919 --> 04:35:29.200
In every day moving forward, you had to find that

1703
04:35:30.959 --> 04:35:33.080
you're more relaxed.

1704
04:35:34.759 --> 04:35:47.439
Physically and in your mind's relaxed. And it's not that

1705
04:35:47.560 --> 04:35:53.080
you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind would be

1706
04:35:53.360 --> 04:36:04.959
less locked down with unnecessary negative team because from now

1707
04:36:05.799 --> 04:36:09.560
your mind rejects negativity.

1708
04:36:13.560 --> 04:36:15.479
From now you're going to.

1709
04:36:15.599 --> 04:36:32.479
Start noticing when negativity arises. You can just say stop, Stop,

1710
04:36:35.520 --> 04:36:50.479
that negativity will turn around and leave your alone. Stop

1711
04:36:54.680 --> 04:36:56.759
and that negativity.

1712
04:36:59.439 --> 04:36:59.919
Disappear.

1713
04:37:08.200 --> 04:37:14.680
And did you notice that you feel way more relaxed

1714
04:37:16.119 --> 04:37:18.040
then you've probably expected.

1715
04:37:24.279 --> 04:37:25.360
You can now.

1716
04:37:28.680 --> 04:37:34.560
Congratulate yourself because you're the person that has done this.

1717
04:37:36.319 --> 04:37:42.520
You another one that has opened your mind up to

1718
04:37:42.680 --> 04:37:50.880
the simple facts. You can feel more relaxed in your

1719
04:37:51.000 --> 04:37:52.959
body and in your mind.

1720
04:37:59.200 --> 04:38:01.200
You've opened your mind up.

1721
04:38:01.319 --> 04:38:09.360
To the birthright of being able to just fall asleep

1722
04:38:09.759 --> 04:38:23.840
easily when you choose. And that's a nice feeling.

1723
04:38:25.040 --> 04:38:25.639
Don't you think?

1724
04:38:28.400 --> 04:38:35.040
Who's nice? Doesn't it to feel calm?

1725
04:38:36.759 --> 04:38:37.639
Who hear?

1726
04:38:37.799 --> 04:38:42.000
The energy is spreading through your body in your mind

1727
04:38:48.560 --> 04:38:59.200
to spend time then a special place where negativity can

1728
04:38:59.319 --> 04:39:08.880
no longer in time. Negativity is bad.

1729
04:39:09.639 --> 04:39:10.319
It's bad.

1730
04:39:11.680 --> 04:39:18.520
There's no one allowed. Jury, doesn't doesn't this doesn't deserve

1731
04:39:18.639 --> 04:39:26.159
to be here, doesn't be young here. Negativity has no

1732
04:39:26.479 --> 04:39:40.599
place in your life, which makes room for more.

1733
04:39:41.159 --> 04:39:48.959
Comfort or hearing, or relaxation.

1734
04:39:53.200 --> 04:39:53.759
Or peace.

1735
04:40:10.840 --> 04:40:22.520
It was nice to them, just everything.

1736
04:40:36.159 --> 04:40:40.520
I'm gonna count down now from twenty down to one.

1737
04:40:43.959 --> 04:40:45.680
We can continue to.

1738
04:40:45.840 --> 04:40:55.880
Relax, Cheesh to sleep.

1739
04:40:59.680 --> 04:41:15.159
Different number, He will say, film twice remixed or if

1740
04:41:15.240 --> 04:41:42.439
you change from film twice saving twenty ninety.

1741
04:41:50.040 --> 04:44:20.720
Eighteen seventeen sick step nine eight seven six five. This

1742
04:44:20.919 --> 04:44:22.119
is your time.

1743
04:44:24.599 --> 04:44:30.680
To just take a break, your.

1744
04:44:30.639 --> 04:44:50.720
Time, relax, to allow your mind to slow down, to give.

1745
04:44:50.599 --> 04:44:52.520
Yourself permission.

1746
04:44:56.720 --> 04:44:58.520
To take a break.

1747
04:45:03.119 --> 04:45:11.080
From everything. And Julie by the person.

1748
04:45:11.479 --> 04:45:17.639
That can make that dession, the only person who can

1749
04:45:17.720 --> 04:45:18.560
actually tell.

1750
04:45:18.400 --> 04:45:18.959
You why.

1751
04:45:24.080 --> 04:45:38.400
Just relax, Just take some time.

1752
04:45:40.159 --> 04:45:52.000
Off so that you can focus on your buddy, getting

1753
04:45:52.360 --> 04:45:53.279
in touch.

1754
04:45:54.520 --> 04:46:06.639
How you feel physically and in.

1755
04:46:06.720 --> 04:46:14.520
The process of this body scared way to focus on.

1756
04:46:14.680 --> 04:46:23.119
Different parts of your body, those.

1757
04:46:23.119 --> 04:46:30.400
Parts you focus on and observed even though you're not

1758
04:46:31.680 --> 04:46:41.919
psquesting those parts of your buddy. To relax, it's kind

1759
04:46:41.919 --> 04:46:49.439
of expected, you expect when this pots my voice to

1760
04:46:49.680 --> 04:47:05.200
feel naturally is when you're listening to me, your attention.

1761
04:47:07.400 --> 04:47:10.880
It's focused on my words.

1762
04:47:16.000 --> 04:47:17.040
There's my words.

1763
04:47:18.000 --> 04:47:32.040
Go you to focus those parts of your body. The

1764
04:47:32.200 --> 04:47:42.119
focus increases, it's actually.

1765
04:47:44.560 --> 04:48:05.400
Comes to your mind. Your mind comes down. Pudding relaxes,

1766
04:48:17.560 --> 04:48:27.319

1767
04:48:39.159 --> 04:48:49.959
Started. I spudding. I feel.

1768
04:48:54.240 --> 04:49:08.520
Energy is spreading through the body, crushing out stress, attention

1769
04:49:15.720 --> 04:49:20.119

1770
04:49:21.319 --> 04:49:22.520

1773
04:49:52.840 --> 04:49:53.360
The gray.

1774
04:50:09.240 --> 04:50:33.119
Confidence. They lack sactionless leases, no way.

1775
04:50:41.080 --> 04:50:47.119
Scots speaking to.

04:50:47.319 --> 04:50:59.560
Rouse because it's what they stop.

You want to do.
