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
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:30.879
twenty five. It's six point fifty five peb ooh, it's

5
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.039
Monday's boring objects and today I am going to discuss

6
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:46.439
dog walking. Oh yes, exciting? Did I say?

7
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:46.880
Oh?

8
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.000
Only listen and you can safely close your eyes. I'm

9
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.560
not sure if I said that or not. I don't

10
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.920
think I did what I have now anyway, check out

11
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.439
my website, which is groovy. I'm just going to shut

12
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:05.159
the top up my website. All the recordings are on there.

13
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:13.000
There's playlists, there's podcasts, there's links to the different apps

14
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.959
that my podcasts are on. There's a way to contact

15
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.239
me whatever. Lots of different things on there. There's also

16
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.480
a link to my Facebook group, which is Jason Newland's

17
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.000
Boring Group. There's a link to my YouTube channel which

18
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.719
is at Jason Newland, which is now my podcast on YouTube.

19
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.159
So exactly the same recordings as you get on Spotify

20
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.359
or Apple or cast box or wherever. It's all on

21
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.280
YouTube now as well, including the ten hour ones with music.

22
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.359
You know, all this all version or six versions I've

23
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.040
got with a chroaky voice. I had a one day

24
00:01:53.079 --> 00:02:01.239
cold yesterday, which is weird. I still it's like a

25
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.439
I think it's a weather change in reaction. It has

26
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:13.080
gone from being warm to being cold to being damp.

27
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.719
So the last couple of days it's been very damp

28
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:24.840
and very damp, I guess that's another word to explain

29
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:33.919
it really rainy instead of being dry. So yeah, a

30
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.080
little bit under the weather the last couple of days,

31
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.639
but feeling all right generally. Just keep coughing a little

32
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.479
bit and then my voice is fine. Just takes a

33
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:56.719
little bit of lubrication. That's weird, isn't it. So I'm

34
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:02.879
going to start off. I've walked dogs for years and

35
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:07.039
the first time I walked the dog, I was fourteen

36
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:17.000
and it was misty. The what was it Saint Bernard

37
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.280
or you may call it a Saint Bernard. You may

38
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.080
wrongly call it a Saint Bernard. It's a Saint Bernard,

39
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.360
a huge dog. So there's been that one. There's been

40
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:39.639
my other friend's dog who I lived with. There was

41
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.719
my cousin's dog that I lived with. That was my

42
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.400
other friend's dog I lived with. Then there was the

43
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.159
other friend that friend's dog I lived with, and then

44
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:55.599
it was Vinny, but also Logi downstairs. I was gonna

45
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.479
say I never lived with Logi, but I did, didn't

46
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.599
I for two months, but I used to see him

47
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.960
very regularly for I don't know, six years, however long,

48
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.719
however long he was living downstairs, started to take him

49
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:16.000
for walks and spend a lot of time with him.

50
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:21.319
Lovely dog, really lovely. Apart from with other dogs. It's

51
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:27.839
the most gentle dog. Just ridiculous, how gentle and floppy

52
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:37.240
and soppy he was with humans. But with other dogs, Nope,

53
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.480
apart from one dog, Vinny, Vinny was the only dog

54
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.160
that he liked. Not totally true. There was a couple

55
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.279
of I think he did. He had a girlfriend another

56
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.199
dog that was similar to him, who get on with

57
00:04:52.199 --> 00:05:02.839
but generally did not like other dogs. Loved Vinnie Strange

58
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:10.319
I say, I mean he did Vinnie once. Vinnie and

59
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:17.079
him lived together up here for pretty much December. I

60
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:25.560
think it might have been three months, December, January, February.

61
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.120
It's either the end of January or the end of February,

62
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.399
so it's either two or three months I had him

63
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:36.720
living here, them two together, and they started fighting. They

64
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.959
started arguing with each other, and I think a lot

65
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:47.160
of it was Vinnie trying to boss him around. I mean,

66
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:52.480
Vinnie could have comfortably fitted inside his mouth and gone

67
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:53.040
to sleep.

68
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:54.120
You know.

69
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:59.040
The size difference was ridiculous. He really looked like a

70
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.959
Gerbil next to me. So I don't know why. I

71
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.920
guess this is Vinnie's home. But before that, he used

72
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.319
to love Vinnie's to love him. I'm sure he still

73
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.160
loves him, but he just used to absolutely adore him

74
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.079
and gets so excited to see him and try and

75
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.240
get into that flat every time he went downstairs to

76
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.879
try and get in there to see Logi, and Logu

77
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:32.079
tries to get up here to see Vinnie. And then

78
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.000
it's weird, actually, because about a couple of months before

79
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:45.519
my friend left, I say a couple of months maybe

80
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:53.839
a few months, but Logi went missing. He just escaped

81
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:58.120
and he run off and he was gone for about

82
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:03.240
two weeks. That whole time, Vinnie was pining for him.

83
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.040
He was sitting at the front door just waiting, like

84
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:16.480
really kind of pining, which was weird. But after living here,

85
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.319
I mean he did he got found at a hostel

86
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.759
place or whatever and got brought back a rescue place.

87
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.120
But when we after living together for a couple of

88
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.800
months or three months, and Logi went and fact got

89
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:37.920
his new home, Vinny didn't seem that bothered. It's weird.

90
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.920
It seemed he wasn't celebrating. I mean, he wasn't like

91
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.120
popping off streamers or anything, or dancing, but he was

92
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.959
definitely that he seemed to be happy to have his

93
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:57.720
home back. Well, what surprised me is I felt sad

94
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.519
at the time. I couldn't really understand it. I suppose

95
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.560
I understand it now because that was the last that

96
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.319
was part of my friend, wasn't it. I'd lost him,

97
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.959
But I didn't, So I didn't really connect him with Logi,

98
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.680
even though there's an obvious connection. It was his dog.

99
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:24.040
So once he was gone, all everything connected to my

100
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:29.279
friend was pretty much gone, apart from the occasional contact

101
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:33.639
with his dad. That's kind of it. So yeah, so

102
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.879
I was piling. I'm the one that was sitting at

103
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.720
the front door on the floor piling. Vinnie was in

104
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.159
there thinking, oh, what are we going to do about him?

105
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.480
I need to distract him, maybe if I get him

106
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:53.279
some bones. Anyway, So dog's walking. I thought I talk

107
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.519
about dog walking because I actually forgot it was Monday

108
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:04.000
today because there's a bank holiday Monday. It really really

109
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:08.000
feels like a Sunday. That really feels like a Sunday

110
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:14.080
in a sense of I've known its bank holiday right

111
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:18.679
from the beginning of the day or before eveyone went

112
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.080
to bed last night, and it still felt like a Sunday.

113
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.960
Quite often, a bank holiday feels just like a Monday.

114
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.720
It's like just another day. I don't know why it

115
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:38.799
felt like a Sunday. Thinking about it, I was thinking

116
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:43.519
if last night as being Saturday, that probably explains it

117
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.039
as well, because I was thinking about what I did

118
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.759
last night. Well, last night I watched the Boxing. No,

119
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:52.440
I didn't. That was Saturday night. Last night. I forgot

120
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.879
no idea what I did. I went to bed early

121
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:06.639
pretty much. Yeah, so it's felt like a Sunday. But

122
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.360
it's not. I mean, it's not a bad thing. I mean,

123
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.720
I don't. I've got no issue with Sundays. It's a

124
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.240
relaxing day. Some would argue all days are relaxing days

125
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.639
for me, but you know, I like to think that

126
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:23.159
I'm doing something with my time. Today. I actually found

127
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:29.759
a way to stream my so I've got Kindle on

128
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.159
my phone, so I opened it up and I found

129
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.240
a way to play a book speaking out loud to me.

130
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:43.879
But not only that, I mood it onto the TV

131
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.919
so I could read along at the same time. So

132
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.399
the voice is a you know, it's very robotic, so

133
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:55.679
it's not like a decent voice, but reading it, and

134
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:59.240
because the screen's big on the TV, I could read

135
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.240
it much EASi you're than reading a book. I just

136
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:06.039
can't just prints too small now for books for me

137
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.679
until I get my eyes tested and get them get

138
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:18.519
better glasses. So the I think I spent about three

139
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.879
hours reading a book, and occasionally I kind of closed

140
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.159
my eyes and just listen to it. Then I go

141
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:29.480
back and read it. And it's a book I've read before.

142
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.600
It's a book I've already got on the shelf as well.

143
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:39.080
But I also purchased it on Kindle about eleven years ago.

144
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.080
It's a long time ago. And eleven years from now,

145
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:54.960
what will I be. I will be sixty five. I'll

146
00:11:55.000 --> 00:12:03.440
be sixty five. I'll be two years off of retire. Wow,

147
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.519
eleven years so thirteen years away fourteen fifty six seven,

148
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:18.159
I'll be nearing retirement age. No, no, even less. So

149
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.440
when I'm sixty five. I'll be fifty five in August,

150
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:29.279
so twelve years from August I will be retired.

151
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.960
I'll be retired age.

152
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:40.399
Wow. I'll be thinking. And this isn't really related to

153
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:44.399
dog walking, and probably most of the things I talk

154
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.039
about during this recording will also not be related to

155
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:52.039
dog walking. For some reason, but I started to have

156
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:59.440
a little, a little feeling towards maybe it would be

157
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:03.200
nice to have to be in a relationship, to have

158
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:06.799
a girlfriend. I know, a girlfriend might not be the

159
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:10.320
right term anymore. Partners probably the best, probably the correct

160
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:18.240
term now, I don't know, but relationship, I'm just thinking maybe.

161
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:25.000
And I kind of started to notice women a bit

162
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:31.720
more just I don't know, I've not really had much

163
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.720
interest in women for ages, not really, not really kind

164
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.320
of just.

165
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:38.919
I don't know.

166
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:45.759
Maybe it's the summer. Maybe maybe the sun's ignited some

167
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.080
kind of testosterone in me.

168
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:48.960
I don't know.

169
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.639
Maybe maybe one of my hormones has regrown, because I

170
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:58.840
think most of my hormones had gone, but maybe one's resurfaced.

171
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:08.639
And I'm starting to I don't know, it's different. It's

172
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:13.399
no desperation. I've been desperate in the past. Blimey, it's

173
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.519
a long time ago. But I used to be like

174
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:22.120
really like a pening dog, like really just I don't

175
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:23.879
know why I did that impression of a pening dog.

176
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.120
We all know what a dog sounds like when it pens.

177
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.120
I don't know why I did that. I wasn't literally

178
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:34.440
walking around and going, what's your name, I'm Jason. It

179
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:38.120
wasn't quite that bad. It wasn't much better than that, though,

180
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.840
never any good at chat uplines. I just thought it

181
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:47.240
was silly, you know. It's just thought, well, if you

182
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.600
make someone laugh. They were like, you never found that

183
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.519
to be the case. It's like, it makes someone laugh,

184
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:59.320
then you're in the friend zone. It's like instantly it's

185
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:10.159
easy to be the friend zone. But loads of female friends. Yeah. Anyway,

186
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:14.360
So I've just been thinking about that, and I just

187
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:21.039
noticed that I'm starting to maybe I don't know if

188
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:25.639
I'm getting older and wrinklier and all those things that

189
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:32.799
are starting to think, hmm, you know, I know there's

190
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.120
going to come a time when I look in the

191
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:39.399
mirror and I will not recognize myself. Or there was

192
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.039
going to come a time when I don't even look

193
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:48.519
in the mirror anymore. And you know, I don't know.

194
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.639
I'm not sure that will happen, but I guess that

195
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:55.639
possibly will happen. I've seen many people that seem to

196
00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:59.000
be in that situation where they just I don't want

197
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.720
to be I want to kind of there's not much

198
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:06.440
to work with, but I'd kind of do my best

199
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:14.120
with what there is, you know, try and should I die?

200
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.559
Should I die my not my pubes, my beard? Should

201
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:23.120
I dye my beard? So dye it gray? That'd be weird,

202
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.559
wouldn't it? What weird thing to do? Because then someone

203
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:31.360
could maybe I ask someone out and I think no

204
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.360
because you're too old, and I say, no, I'm not,

205
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.879
and I can just wipe it off, say look, I'm

206
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:44.759
only partially gray. But then I don't know, yes's not

207
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.279
really die?

208
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:45.600
Is it?

209
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:51.440
That would be coloring? I suppose perhaps chalk, like you know,

210
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.200
blackboard chalk. I could like just push that into my

211
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.919
beard and that look like I've got a white bit.

212
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.120
And then I said, is it because I'm a bit old?

213
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.440
Said yeah, just I said, don't worry, and I pull

214
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:09.880
out a what a wet wipe from my pants and

215
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.799
just like look, it's look, I'm not I'm not completely gray.

216
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.079
And now one might say, well, you are actually still gray,

217
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.400
so no, I'm not. It's chalk. And then I go

218
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:29.359
home and I realize, okay, I was I'm already gray.

219
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.599
Some part of me is not gray because I shaved

220
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.519
my head, and I shaved my I trimmed my beard

221
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.799
the other day and there was clumps of dark hair

222
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:48.799
there there was There wasn't from me bum, so it's

223
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:56.599
definitely from my face on my head. So I did it. Okay,

224
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:10.880
let's forget Yeah, right, okay, let's move on. So I think, oh,

225
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.480
I got caught. This is really bad. Okay, I'm not

226
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.720
just gonna help it. I was talking to a lady

227
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:22.319
today when I was walking with me, you know then,

228
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:27.880
and I think I got caught looking down the top.

229
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.079
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to

230
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:37.039
get caught. I mean she didn't actually specifically say what

231
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.839
you're doing looking down my top, but she did ask

232
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:46.119
me why I was standing on the ladder, So it's

233
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:53.480
kind of I don't know. It's hard to I mean,

234
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.359
I don't know, it's hard to know, because you can't

235
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.759
just like question it. Oh, did you catch me looking

236
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:03.720
down your top? And she said no, but now I

237
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.440
know you were. I said, no, you don't. I'm just saying, okay,

238
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.000
you do, really don't you. Oh, but of course I wasn't,

239
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.160
and I'm just making this up. Of course she was

240
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.799
looking trying to look down my top, and I was offended, Like,

241
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:28.319
leave my bosoms alone, they're mine. I think my chest

242
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.519
is coming along. I think I've definitely I seem to

243
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:35.720
be flattering the tummy now that I was. I say that,

244
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:39.720
and I just grabbed a big massive Yeah. Maybe when

245
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:46.799
I lay down, I am when I lay down quite slim. Yeah,

246
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.599
when I hang upside down, I'm taller. I mean it depends, well,

247
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:53.720
you know, sort of do with gravity. I suppose, isn't

248
00:19:53.759 --> 00:20:07.440
it the dog walk in I remember saying to someone

249
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:12.880
that's I had this. I think I was sort of

250
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:20.920
kind of semulating this lady. And so I'm just outside

251
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:27.079
it's a sunny day, and she said, why are you

252
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:32.440
looking at my top? I said, what do you mean? Said?

253
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.720
You're staring at the top? Is it something on it?

254
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:40.400
Like she's spilled ice cream or something. I don't know.

255
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:43.119
What do you mean I'm not looking at your top?

256
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:45.000
She said, I can see you're looking at my top.

257
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.039
I said, you can't see me look at your top

258
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.720
because I've got sunglasses. When they're not they're acting like

259
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.920
normal glasses. And I said, you cannot see my eyes

260
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:59.079
through these. She said, yes, I can. I said you can't.

261
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.319
Why are you you can? You can't see where I'm

262
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.640
looking because these are shades. When it's sunny, they're turned

263
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:10.000
into shades. You cannot see my eyes. She said, I

264
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.319
can see your eyes clearly. I can see exactly where

265
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:16.079
you're looking. I said, no, you can't, so she she

266
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:19.559
pulled a person, pulled off and pulled off. She pulled

267
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.119
someone to the side. Another pedestrian said, can you tell

268
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.759
me that you can see his eyes? Can't you know?

269
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:28.319
And she said, yeah, you see the where he's looking.

270
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:31.359
He's staring at your chest. I said, I'm not staring

271
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.720
at staring at mine now, and I'm not I'm not

272
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:38.200
staring at anyone's chair. You can't see my eyes. They've

273
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.720
got I specifically bought them so that you can't see

274
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.400
where I'm looking. And she said, I thought it was

275
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.960
because of your eyesight. I said, yeah, it's because of

276
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.839
my eyesight as well. And I didn't you know, I

277
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:52.640
won't wear glasses if I didn't need them, she said,

278
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.200
But you said the actor light was because you've got

279
00:21:55.240 --> 00:22:01.759
the that macro degeneration in the fact, and you have

280
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.240
to be careful your eyes so that you know, you

281
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:06.200
have to protect your eyes from the sun so that

282
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:09.359
it doesn't progress any further, like with your dad and

283
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:13.720
your nan and your other family members. And I said, yeah, yeah,

284
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:18.200
that that is the reason. But at the same time,

285
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:23.880
I actually was thinking that no one could see my eyes.

286
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:27.160
She said, yeah, we can see your eyes. Someone else

287
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.400
passed that, yeah, I can see them. Stop looking at

288
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:36.799
my chest, and carried on walking like So it turns

289
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:40.119
out and I start asking people that I know, can

290
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.839
you see my eyes when I've got my glasses on

291
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:47.440
and it's sunny. Yeah, I've asked everyone, and everyone can

292
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:58.599
see my eyes. So for twelve years, twelve summers, twelve years,

293
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.720
I've been walking around thinking people can't see where I'm looking,

294
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:04.920
and they've all been able to see where I'm looking.

295
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.920
My question is can I get a refund? Can I

296
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.759
get my money back?

297
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.200
I just.

298
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.000
When I get my new glasses I may just actually

299
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:30.680
buy some proper sunglasses with my prescription in them, because

300
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:35.680
that's ridiculous. I should be able to have the freedom

301
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:40.599
to I'm just.

302
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:48.039
Yeah.

303
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:53.440
Anyway, So walking, the first dog I walked was I

304
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.079
made all up? Of course, the first dog I walked

305
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:03.359
was did I have any friends with dogs at school?

306
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:06.039
I don't think I did. I don't think I had

307
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:10.160
any dogs, dog friends, friends with dogs, dogs that lived

308
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:18.720
in a friend's house. No, I didn't. No, I had

309
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:20.640
a friend that had two cats. And there were those

310
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:24.160
board cats, the ones with no cut clothes on, you know,

311
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:29.519
the ones that are just basically naked. And it looked

312
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:31.799
like the kind of things that you see hanging up

313
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:38.039
in a tie a tie market. I wasn't sure there

314
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:43.440
were cats or bats. They were lovely cats, guvey. It

315
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:45.960
looked like statues, though, because they just used to sit

316
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:52.039
there really still. And please don't shout out. We know

317
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:54.759
what you mean by statues statues sit still. When people

318
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:57.480
say it was like a statue, we know that that means.

319
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.839
It means it was very still, all right below me.

320
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:04.640
Just because bank holiday don't have to be all frizzy

321
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:09.440
with me or frizzy and fuzzy and fizzy and blippy

322
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:19.000
blippy blue. So I'm walking Misty. I talked about Misty

323
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:21.680
the other day and she she used to drag me around.

324
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:24.839
I could not control her. She was way too big,

325
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:32.119
way too strong, no training, and it was such a

326
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:34.839
shame because she's a beautiful dog, or dogs are beautiful,

327
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:40.119
but she's she was lovely. She just couldn't. I was

328
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.640
scared of her, to be fair, she was too big,

329
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:47.160
twice my size. I mean, she's probably bigger than I

330
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:52.079
am now. Maybe doesn't weigh as much as our way,

331
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.880
but she she may well have done. She was a

332
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:59.839
good twelve stone, maybe fourteen stone, maybe even more. Maybe

333
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.000
you might even way more than I do now, because

334
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:08.359
she was a big, big dog. And you can literally

335
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:11.039
put her on the scales and just see the dial

336
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:16.440
just moving slowly. You can see in real time, see

337
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:20.240
her grow in real time. It was like watching the moon.

338
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.160
You can see the moon move if you just watch it.

339
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:26.079
I mean, technically, if you watch anything long enough, you

340
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.279
can see it move, can't you. If you watch a

341
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:32.039
mountain long enough, you can see the mountain dissolving and corroding.

342
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:34.240
But you'd have to be a lie for sort of

343
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:39.640
millions of years or thousands of years. But if you

344
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.160
were alive for thousands of years or millions of years,

345
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.440
it wouldn't be the best use of your time, would it.

346
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.319
But then you might argue, yeah, but if you're going

347
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:50.960
to live forever, what does a couple of million years mean?

348
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:58.799
Suppose I did think that if I'd like to live forever,

349
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:05.160
not for any other reason other than I just want

350
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:08.759
to see everyone I care about die, No, Wow, as

351
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.839
a joke, I want to see I'd like to be

352
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:16.319
able to read every book. Not every book, There's going

353
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:18.200
to be a lot of really bad books, but I'd

354
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.640
like to read every book that I want to read,

355
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.680
see every movie that I want to see, do ever,

356
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:30.400
study every subject that I want to study. So maybe

357
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:36.839
if I wanted to go into I don't know, philosophy

358
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.319
and just study everything and decide I'm going to spend

359
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:46.640
the next fifty years or one hundred years studying philosophy,

360
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.440
then in a hundred years time, I'm going to study

361
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:53.200
everything to do with space. So I'm going to you know,

362
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:57.039
it's like I'm really going to become good at one

363
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:02.400
thing or something. Because earlier today I was trying to

364
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.799
think of something that I was good at, and I

365
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:10.400
couldn't think of anything meant just watching television class as

366
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:22.880
a talent. I didn't know, so, so Misty was Yeah,

367
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:26.880
it was I couldn't take a dog. I couldn't take

368
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.119
her for a walk, she was too big, couldn't do it.

369
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:38.559
And the second dog I took for a walk would

370
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:45.279
have been my friend who I lived with in London,

371
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.000
and he would leave well, there was a time when

372
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:51.880
I was at home and he was at work, and

373
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.480
there's other times when he'd leave me looking after the

374
00:28:54.559 --> 00:29:01.359
dog while he went away. So when I had when

375
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:03.880
I when I didn't have the dog, the dog was

376
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.640
naughty when he was there. He let the dog do

377
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.359
anything he wants, and he was naughty when I had

378
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:13.599
him for a week on my own. I trained him,

379
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.119
I had him walking around the park with me and

380
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:21.279
he never ever bothered other dogs, didn't bark at them, nothing.

381
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.039
As soon as his dad got back, he turned into

382
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:31.200
a terror again. And I also realized that, you know,

383
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.240
when I first met him, he was barking at me

384
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:40.039
for about three hours. After I moved in, I realized

385
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.200
that he was a scaredy cat. He wasn't brave at all.

386
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.680
He was not even a bully. He was just scared

387
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.880
and he didn't have Yeah, he didn't have any kind

388
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.799
of he'd bark at other dogs, but he didn't Me

389
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.240
did some unfortunately. He was a bit bity as well,

390
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:09.359
but he behaved himself with me, And you know, he

391
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:12.119
used to sleep in the bed with me, and when

392
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:14.279
his dad wasn't there, he slept in the bed with

393
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.119
his dad. But when his dad wasn't there, he's sleeping

394
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:20.680
the bed with me. And you know, I got on

395
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:24.240
really well with him. And I had a girlfriend. It's

396
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:27.920
hard to believe that I did, and he loved her.

397
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.960
I thought he was going to eat her because she

398
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:34.920
wanted to come back to my place, and I thought,

399
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:39.680
there's a good chance he's going to really bite her

400
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:43.400
and attack her, but at the same time might get

401
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:49.839
some sex. It was like I was out loud, no,

402
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:51.880
I mean I kind of you know, it was like,

403
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:55.880
I come back to your place, so okay, but I'm thinking,

404
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:01.720
is he going to go crazy? I mean I could

405
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:03.440
handle him, so I could get him into a different

406
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:05.599
room and stuff. But we really thought he was going

407
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.720
to go for her and maybe she'd be wouldn't want

408
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:12.440
to come into the house because he was a proper barker.

409
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:18.119
Like really, it was like a little puppy with her,

410
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:23.599
a little puppy. Instantly, as soon as she walked in,

411
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:27.079
he was laying on his back so she could rub

412
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:31.319
his tummy. He was cutting up to her. Never met

413
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:38.319
her before, absolutely loved her. Wouldn't let me in the

414
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.559
bed though he was in the bed with her, wouldn't

415
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:46.759
let me anywhere near her. So that relationship didn't last long.

416
00:31:48.880 --> 00:32:00.759
Dan ended up getting married but had kids I think fourteen. Honestly,

417
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:04.039
he loved her. I didn't could not get my head

418
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:13.480
around that. So what else? And she was ginger so

419
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:23.960
I was him? And then the next one was my

420
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:28.640
I moved into this house and there was a dog there. Oh,

421
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:30.559
she was so cute. She's only a puppy when I

422
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:36.119
moved in, So I should take her for walks. No, No,

423
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.000
she wasn't living there to start with.

424
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:39.039
No.

425
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:42.839
So the next one I lived with was my other friend.

426
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:48.880
He had a dog, and she always slept in a

427
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:54.240
bed with him right under the covers, like, never on top,

428
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:57.000
right under the cover, like really, and she she was

429
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.559
she wouldn't leave him alone, so she did didn't really

430
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.079
pay me much attention at all the whole time I

431
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:07.559
was living there with him, because she just adored him.

432
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:14.039
But I used to take her for walk sometimes and

433
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:17.519
if I was looking, because sometimes he'd go, he'd go abroad,

434
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:20.799
go to sea family, and I'd look after her for

435
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.519
the weekend or for the week or whatever. So I'd

436
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.240
have to take her out and stuff. And she was

437
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:31.960
good as gold, really good, good dog. Used to lick

438
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:37.960
my feet, which I like. That was nice. And then

439
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:43.920
she was quite cuddly. She liked to cuddle as well.

440
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.960
And then the third dog, no, the fourth dog was

441
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.559
when I moved in to my cousins for the second time,

442
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:57.079
and she had a puppy this time when I moved back,

443
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:03.880
and I took the puppy for walks, long walks, and

444
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:11.559
I needed that. I so needed something, you know. It's

445
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:15.000
quite a difficult period. It was back in ninety seven,

446
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:22.920
summer ninety seven, and she really helped, this little dog

447
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:26.519
help me. And the cat there was a cat there

448
00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:30.559
as well that it took to me like none other

449
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.119
animal was really taken to me before that. She took

450
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.519
to me so love me. This cat she scratched at

451
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:42.760
my bedroom door to come in, and she'd climb crawl

452
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:46.400
up and down my back and sometimes I say, well,

453
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.719
let me lay down first, and she know it's a

454
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.519
bit less less scratchy when I was lying down, to

455
00:34:54.559 --> 00:35:02.159
be fair, But she's just so the peacefulness, the calmness

456
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:07.159
of the purr and and she just took to me.

457
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.320
I don't know why she was fully grown cat. It's

458
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:13.880
not like she was a puppy or anything but or

459
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:18.960
a kit and mother BlimE me, but this this dog

460
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.880
so cute when I was little, and I kind of

461
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:31.599
I lived there for four years and I didn't really

462
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:33.639
take it out for many walks later on, but I

463
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:36.719
did like early on, but it wasn't it wasn't my dog,

464
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:37.880
so the.

465
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:40.280
She was.

466
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:43.880
It was a girl as well. So she was definitely

467
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:48.719
a mummies girl, like she's waited for a mum to

468
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:52.679
come home. So yeah, she was. She was. She was

469
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:58.840
a lovely kid, lovely girl. And then then LOGI I

470
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:02.920
suppose is the next one. He's the next dog. So

471
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:11.360
I haven't had any other dogs live in in I'm

472
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:13.320
trying to think of all the different places I've lived

473
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:19.440
since then, since London, since that house. That house, Yeah,

474
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:36.119
that room that I lived in there. There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

475
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.280
So this is the tenth place that I've lived in

476
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:46.519
since there, and I left there in two thousand and one.

477
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:51.119
So yeah, I've lived in ten places since two thousand

478
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:56.840
and one, but I've been in this place for ten years.

479
00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:02.400
So I lived in nine different places from two thousand

480
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:16.199
and one to twoy fourteen or twenty fifteen. M yeah,

481
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:19.000
I think I've got all the places. I lose track

482
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:23.159
a little bit. I try and remember I kind of roughly, yeah,

483
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:29.840
got it mapped in my brain. So I guess Logi

484
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:35.079
was the first dog for since two thousand and one

485
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:41.840
when I got evicted from that place. So Logi was

486
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:46.960
probably i'd say six years ago, maybe even seven years ago,

487
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:50.199
but it's hard to kind of really pinpoint the year.

488
00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:54.320
So my friend got LOGI moved in. I saw him

489
00:37:54.320 --> 00:38:00.920
nearly every day. Lovely dog and apart from the other dog,

490
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:04.559
but he was so excited. He'd come upstairs and they'd

491
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.440
love coming in here, and he chucked stuff all around

492
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:15.559
the place, like balls and bones, and it's because Andre

493
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:20.119
lived here, so he get excited. But he didn't like Andre.

494
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:23.400
He didn't dislike him as in being aggressive. He was

495
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:27.519
scared of Andre because Andre used to come and bite him.

496
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:35.079
It's true. And even though bear in mind the size

497
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:41.440
of Logi compared to Andre, who was tiny compared to Vinnie,

498
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:49.079
you know, Logi was petrified of him, and Andre had

499
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:53.719
no fear, like zero fear. He would start he would

500
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:57.159
start a fight with an elephant. Honestly, he didn't care,

501
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:02.519
wasn't scared of anything, and he kept trying to buy

502
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:05.679
it Logi's balls. I'm not even joking he did. He

503
00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:08.280
just kept so Logi would be like all just lay

504
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:17.039
on his back and Andre would creep up. It's like

505
00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:19.039
I had to grab it and like stop it because

506
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:25.800
there's I don't think there's probably a male on the

507
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:29.000
planet that can watch that and not this, Like no,

508
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.679
and I'm kind of that. That's just no, leave that

509
00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:36.679
part of the body alone. Just just no, no, no buying,

510
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:40.239
no punching, just no kicking, just just leave it alone.

511
00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:46.400
So leave it be, Andre, leave it be. So I

512
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.440
used to have to stop him, but Logi would hide.

513
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:52.639
He'd run and hide, but at the same time he'd

514
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.559
run in looking for him because he loved him. But

515
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:57.760
at the same time, he was scared of him, so

516
00:39:58.039 --> 00:39:59.960
he liked to play and they'd play like a run

517
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.079
around and stuff. But as as soon as Andre got

518
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:09.280
a little bit rough, Logan didn't like it. But not

519
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:12.119
once did Logi ever ever.

520
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:15.280
Growl or.

521
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:21.280
Show any kind of hostility towards Andrea. Ever, when he

522
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:24.519
could have literally swallowed him by accident, if you know,

523
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:26.920
if he wanted to, if he could have just accidentally

524
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:32.280
eaten him, like maybe he was just eating a I

525
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.320
don't know, eating some bacon off the carpet. I don't

526
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:37.960
know why bacon would be on a carpet and then

527
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:40.000
just onre part and he just managed to eat him

528
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:48.400
by accidents. But no, never happened. This was Andrea's. Andrea

529
00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:52.039
was the boss of this place in the same way

530
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:58.679
that vinnit's the boss of this place. But I think

531
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.719
in some ways Andrea was even all the boss. I

532
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:05.000
do wonder how they would have got on them too,

533
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.119
Vinie and Andre together. I know I'm never going to

534
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:13.039
know him I, but it does make me wonder how

535
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:18.800
would they have Because you've got Andre who was not

536
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:21.840
scared of anything, but you've also got a little dog

537
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:29.079
that he has got that hunting instinct for little animals.

538
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:34.760
And he also doesn't back down, so it would be yeah,

539
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.039
I don't know if it would be a particularly good match.

540
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:42.079
I think it'd be fine if Vinnie was a puppy,

541
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:46.119
because it would know no different. Andre had always been

542
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:51.400
there and he'd love him. But coming in at ten

543
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:54.960
months old, I don't know. I mean he was still

544
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:58.039
technically like a puppy, I guess, but ten months old,

545
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:01.760
it's not really a puppy. Is that he's a toddler?

546
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:07.960
I guess at that age. Turned three at the end

547
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:14.000
of February. You believe it. I got him at ten

548
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:19.039
months old. Now he's three years three months old. I

549
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:28.880
don't understand. It got so quick, so quick. I can't

550
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:36.760
believe he's now ninety five. So really, the most dog

551
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:41.280
walking I do is with Finny, like I not obviously

552
00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:43.800
you say, well, yeah, he's a dog. I don't mean

553
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:49.679
just now, but ever I used to take I used

554
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:53.639
to go to Nottingham and my friend had a dog there.

555
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:56.280
That's I forgot about this. My dog had a friend.

556
00:42:56.519 --> 00:43:00.400
My friend had a dog, rather lovely dog, and I

557
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:03.519
should take him. I think he was a greyhound and

558
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:04.519
I should take him for.

559
00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:08.400
Walks and.

560
00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:15.320
That was cool, you know, he was a cool dog.

561
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:21.599
But yeah, so I forgot about that. So he had

562
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:25.800
a dog. Also also also also I did go on

563
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:28.079
a holiday with a friend who also had a dog,

564
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:32.599
and I used to take her for a little walks

565
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:40.800
because we went to corn Wall, corn Wall during the lockdown.

566
00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:46.280
I think it was two thousand and twenty two, twenty

567
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:54.519
one maybe twenty one, yeah, twenty twenty one, and the

568
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:58.599
everything was half closed. It was still it wasn't in

569
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:04.639
full lockdown, but there's so much stuff wasn't opening, including

570
00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:07.119
a pub that was closing at six o'clock in the

571
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:11.280
evening or seven o'clock. What pub closes at seven o'clock

572
00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:15.559
in the evening. And this was on a site full

573
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:21.039
of holiday homes which weren't very busy for some reason.

574
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:26.559
And so I took her for some walks and stuff,

575
00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:29.559
which was nice. I think it was the first time

576
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:34.199
I'd ever picked dog poo up never, never, never picked

577
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:38.960
dog poo up before until I picked andres poo up

578
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:41.320
in the past, but that dog poo never done dog

579
00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:44.400
poo before. Whenever I walked a dog in the past,

580
00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:48.599
I just and that's wrong. But back then there was

581
00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:50.800
no it wasn't a legal thing in a bay. It's

582
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:56.840
a legal a legal requirement now, but you know, in

583
00:44:56.920 --> 00:45:01.199
the nineties and stuff, it wasn't. And I just it's

584
00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:06.000
not my dog, not picking up, not to her. But yeah,

585
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:08.559
I would wouldn't be like that now because I'm now

586
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:17.480
technically an adult technically. And my friend's dog ran ran away.

587
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:21.280
She ran out of the house in this like holiday place.

588
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:26.559
So my friend's screaming, come back, Daisy, Rosie days Daisy.

589
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:31.920
So I'm like, I'm running after her. It's a little dog.

590
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:34.800
I'm like, I don't want it to run in the road.

591
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:38.400
You know, obviously she's a lovely dog. She's running. It's

592
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:41.639
like I think it's turned into a game because I'm

593
00:45:41.719 --> 00:45:45.920
chasing her. She's got this big, fat, wobbly thing running. Well,

594
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:48.280
I'm going to use the word running very vaguely on

595
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:54.639
this one. And I end up falling over and toppling

596
00:45:54.760 --> 00:46:01.400
and rolling and all over the place. And it's amazing

597
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:04.079
how many people appear when you fall over in public.

598
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:08.440
Suddenly there was like all the neighbors were on their

599
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:15.039
grass outside their holiday homes, laughing. Even a dog stopped

600
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:18.400
to have a laugh. That's how she got caught like

601
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.280
you know, her friend, my friend who managed to get

602
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:27.320
her because she was rolling around laughing at me. Now

603
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:28.079
I was in pain.

604
00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:30.119
You know.

605
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:32.280
This is when I was heavier than I am now,

606
00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:37.559
So I was you know, one hundred and two kilos

607
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:40.440
or whatever, maybe a little bit more, so i'd like

608
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:46.800
proper when I fell over, I was bruising myself. I

609
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:49.599
wasn't bruising myself as I was falling, but the fall

610
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:54.039
bruised you know me, and you know, a little bit

611
00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:58.679
of a limp for the rest of the holiday. To

612
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:01.880
be fair, it was a little bit put on because

613
00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:05.840
laughing they laugh at her just annoyed me a little bit.

614
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:11.320
So you know, I'm hurt and I'm hurt here. I've

615
00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:15.840
hurt my leg. I've hurt my leg And she said

616
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:18.039
you haven't, have you I said, yeah, I have. We'll

617
00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:21.920
stand up. Then I said, I'm struggling to so can

618
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:24.239
you still stop laughing? She said, no, no, that's fine,

619
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:28.599
I can't help it. You have a look like we've

620
00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:31.239
been look at it's my leg. See it's there. It's

621
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:35.320
my leg hasn't fallen off, it's still there. And he said,

622
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:39.239
can you just walk? And can you I said, yeah,

623
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:43.760
but it hurts. She's still laughing, like, no, really, you

624
00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:47.639
don't understand it. It hurts a lot. So I decided to limp,

625
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:51.440
thinking that that might gain a little bit of sympathy.

626
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:56.199
It didn't work, but it did quite down the laughter

627
00:47:56.239 --> 00:48:00.960
a little bit. So for the rest of the week,

628
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:06.079
I'm limping, but my leg's fine, but I kind of

629
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:10.000
have to keep it going. It's a bit like, you know,

630
00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:14.840
when you pretend to be a vegetarian, or when I

631
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:20.400
pretended to be interested in astronomy when I was a

632
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.639
kid and end up sort of having six years worth

633
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:29.400
of books and stuff every Christmas and every Birthday something

634
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:32.599
to do with astronomy. And I had no interest in astronomy.

635
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:34.840
You know.

636
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:37.519
All it was is I was just spying on my

637
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:42.679
next door neighbors sunbathing and through the binoculars, my dad's binoculars,

638
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:43.920
and he said, what are you doing. I said, I'm

639
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:47.440
trying to see the stars And he said, well, this daytime,

640
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:58.400
this is ridiculous. I said, I've always wanted to see

641
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:01.559
I said, no, I can't see them. He said, you'dn't

642
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:04.719
really look astically into the sun either, because that could

643
00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:08.000
really cause problems for your eyes. I said, oh, okay,

644
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.400
I'm glad you got him in time. You really are

645
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:14.400
the best daddy. He said, okay. So so you're interested

646
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:16.920
in stars, he said, He said yeah. He said, you

647
00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:19.360
sure you're not just looking at that the next door

648
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:24.559
neighbor's sunbathing. I said, where? Who Oh? No, I didn't

649
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:28.679
didn't see her there rubbing oil. And no, I didn't

650
00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:31.960
didn't see it. I had no idea. He said, okay,

651
00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:35.280
So if you were interested in the stars, why were

652
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:38.960
you pointing towards the garden next door. I said, I

653
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:44.000
was just just getting ready because the binoculars are so heavy,

654
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:47.360
because I'm only little, and you're so big and strong,

655
00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:49.880
and you know, you can hold them with one hand,

656
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:52.480
but I'm struggling to hold them with two. I mean,

657
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:54.440
they weren't nearly as big as my head, to be fair,

658
00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:57.519
and I'm struggling to look up. You know, what I

659
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:02.199
really need is a telescope. And he said, okay. He

660
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:08.840
took the binoculars away. He said, I left them, and

661
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:11.440
he went to the next room. And I don't know

662
00:50:11.480 --> 00:50:13.440
what he was doing, but I heard some weird noises,

663
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:21.360
but he got me a telescope. I really didn't think

664
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:25.159
anything was coin of it got me a telescope, and

665
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:30.239
then from then on, every Christmas, every Birthday, an atlas

666
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:35.519
of the stars, a big picture of the moon, the

667
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:41.119
history of telescopes. Books that I couldn't even understand, Like

668
00:50:41.199 --> 00:50:43.320
every three words, I didn't know what the word meant.

669
00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:48.199
I mean that's pretty much most books, really, but especially

670
00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:56.639
dictionaries for Saurus what a stupid name. So I really

671
00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:02.719
just like, you know, it's a little bit like it's

672
00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:05.760
not really anything like this at all, but you know,

673
00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:11.000
when you offer someone I did this today, right, This

674
00:51:11.159 --> 00:51:13.199
is what I was going to talk about with Vinnie.

675
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:14.719
Stole.

676
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:19.719
He stole a ball. I was talking to this neighbor.

677
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:21.960
She's not like a neighbor neighbor. She's a dog walker,

678
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:24.960
lives up the road. And she said, oh, I'm going

679
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:28.159
to do that later, and she pulled it to the wall,

680
00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:30.920
so she had like a wall in front of her

681
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:34.280
driveway with I said, what you're going to do to it?

682
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:40.280
She said, I'm going to dig up the all the weeds.

683
00:51:41.639 --> 00:51:43.360
I said, what are you going to use a streamer

684
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:45.719
or something. She said, no, I'm just going to He's

685
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:49.719
just going to pull them up with my hands. I said,

686
00:51:49.719 --> 00:51:53.639
that hurt my back. He said, how how's me pulling

687
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:56.400
up with my hands going to hurt your back? I said,

688
00:51:56.440 --> 00:51:57.960
I mean if I was going to do it, it would

689
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:04.000
hurt my back. She said, you are for him? I said,

690
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:04.840
you want me to do it?

691
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:05.239
Oh?

692
00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:08.039
Thank you. It's like, how the hell did that happen?

693
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:12.000
And I said, look, I can't bend over and do

694
00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:15.960
it because I got my back. It's just it's going

695
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:18.920
to cause problems, so I can't. You know, But if

696
00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:22.239
you've got a streamer or a what do you call it?

697
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:27.280
Wherever those things where you can fly mo or whatever

698
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:29.639
they're called. She said, yeah, I've got one in the garden.

699
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:33.199
I said, if you really, She said no. I said,

700
00:52:33.239 --> 00:52:35.000
why do you say you got one in the garden? Falling?

701
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:37.039
She said, I thought it be better for your story

702
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:40.679
when you tell it on the podcast, because you know,

703
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:43.239
not having one that's pretty much brings it to the end,

704
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:47.000
doesn't it. I said, okay. She says she would just

705
00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:48.880
pretend that I do have one so we can make

706
00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:53.559
the story more interesting. I said, okay. So we went

707
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:55.880
into a guard into the shed, got a fly MO

708
00:52:56.480 --> 00:53:00.960
hasn't been touched for years I'm talking. She didn't even

709
00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:08.000
know if it worked anymore. And you know, it needed batteries.

710
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:12.000
That's how old it was. It had gray hairs. I

711
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:17.199
don't know. That doesn't make sense, does it? And I said, well,

712
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:20.159
I kind of know how these things work. He said,

713
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:21.920
how long is it since you use one? I said, oh,

714
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:27.239
just I was trying to think back, So it's only

715
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:36.920
about thirty years, that's all she said. Is that? All said? Yeah?

716
00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:40.400
That is a bit long, isn't it. She said, yep,

717
00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:43.880
especially when you're waiting in a queue, which is a

718
00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:49.159
bit weird thing to say. And I just said, well,

719
00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:52.280
we can trust we can test it out. I know

720
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:55.880
roughly how to get the bit of string plastic thing

721
00:53:55.920 --> 00:53:58.639
out and then we'll plug it in. She got an

722
00:53:58.639 --> 00:54:03.039
extension lead and I ended up doing it. So it's

723
00:54:03.079 --> 00:54:05.960
one of those problems where this has happened to me

724
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:14.079
before I made an empty offer. It happened years ago.

725
00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:18.239
You know, someone was saying I'm going to move. I

726
00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:22.079
said that what you're doing this weekend? Oh we're moving home.

727
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:25.519
Before I knew it, the wrong part of my brain

728
00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:36.039
said do you need a hand? Oh, brilliant, thanks, And

729
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:41.639
it wasn't a genuine offer. It was just it was

730
00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:44.480
to be fair. They did help me move, so I

731
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:51.599
can't really moan. But it was just like, so what

732
00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:54.440
I tell people when if I offer something to someone

733
00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:56.280
and they said no, I said, well it was an

734
00:54:56.320 --> 00:55:00.320
empty offer anyway. So I don't know. Have that makes

735
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:04.920
me look a bit bad. Perhaps I need to rethink

736
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:10.119
some of the things I've said, not just from this recording.

737
00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:12.880
Ooh.

738
00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:16.239
I did a recording earlier and at the part it

739
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:20.920
was like a body scan, I ended up talking about astronauts.

740
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:25.079
I'm not quite sure where my brain's going these days.

741
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:31.880
It's weird. I don't know. It's almost like I'm not

742
00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:35.519
sure if I can't go back to doing serious recordings anymore,

743
00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:42.239
to being all serious and all like solemn, and I

744
00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:47.840
don't know what the right word is. It's like, yeah,

745
00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:52.239
I don't know if I can do that anymore. I'm

746
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:54.239
not sure the last time I actually did anything that

747
00:55:54.360 --> 00:55:57.639
was like super serious. Well maybe I have.

748
00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:05.679
But hey, I mean, so I'm doing this this wall

749
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:19.719
food hm, and it.

750
00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:19.480
It's going quite well. I'm getting most of the wall

751
00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:23.360
done and then the thing breaks, you know, the thing

752
00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:25.920
snaps off. So I have to reput it on and

753
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:28.760
it snaps again. Then it snaps again, and I think

754
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:31.800
I change it or get it done about ten times

755
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:39.400
and then the thing just falls apart. It actually banged

756
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:48.639
against my leg, so m h, I p I ended

757
00:56:48.719 --> 00:56:52.400
up putting the sort of unplug it you and then

758
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:55.039
put it back. I just put it onto a in

759
00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:58.559
front of a porch, and after I stopped crying, that

760
00:56:58.800 --> 00:57:02.599
was and where it went to my ankle. Act we

761
00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:05.079
didn't go into my bit. It banged my ankle. I

762
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:09.599
wonder if there's any mark there. I can't see in

763
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:18.679
this light. But I was trying to get this stuff.

764
00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:20.559
She asked me if i'd look at this stuff, which

765
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:23.639
is it was growing out of the concrete of the pavement,

766
00:57:26.079 --> 00:57:28.880
and it just wasn't Yeah, it wasn't doing the job.

767
00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:34.760
I think I might have broken it because it might

768
00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:37.079
have been working before. It did seem to be working

769
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:45.840
okay before. But at the same time, yeah, I was

770
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:50.280
a little bit concerned. I didn't want the because it

771
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:53.280
was when I was doing the pavement, bits of gravel

772
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:56.119
were like flicking back at me and hitting me in

773
00:57:56.159 --> 00:57:59.280
the face. So that was probably a little clue that

774
00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:07.280
maybe it wasn't doing it. Correctly, and the seagull landed

775
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:10.199
on my head. Do you know what? The other day

776
00:58:11.519 --> 00:58:17.760
this bird flew right at me and just missed me

777
00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:21.039
by an inch. I'm not even like making it up.

778
00:58:21.159 --> 00:58:24.320
I say, okay, maybe not an inch, but an inch

779
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:32.000
is quite a lot. Okay, maybe it was okay, maybe

780
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:34.920
a foot, but you know, to me, I think of

781
00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:37.559
an inch, and I think of a foot, but maybe yeah,

782
00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:41.159
maybe a foot. But it missed me really close. It's

783
00:58:41.239 --> 00:58:48.079
like just turned and it was at my head. I

784
00:58:48.159 --> 00:58:53.480
was like, even a bird doesn't want to kiss me? No,

785
00:58:53.760 --> 00:58:55.280
I thought, wow, why would you?

786
00:58:55.320 --> 00:58:55.400
How?

787
00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:59.599
First, how could you miss my head? And secondly, like

788
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:03.840
birds are so good normally, I've never had a bird

789
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:11.079
fly into me, even at my biggest, at my girthiest,

790
00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:18.599
I've never had a bird fly into me. I don't think. No,

791
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:26.400
I haven't. No, no, I haven't, not even a pigeon,

792
00:59:33.159 --> 00:59:39.880
I don't think. So I'm just thinking maybe I have. No. No,

793
00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:46.000
I don't know. I don't think I have. So when

794
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:50.440
I got Vinny, I started walking in straight away and

795
00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:55.599
it was weird because this was blurh. What year was it?

796
00:59:55.679 --> 01:00:02.239
Anyone anyone got an idea what year it was? Two

797
01:00:02.320 --> 01:00:12.719
thousand and then twenty two December. Yep, I think it

798
01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:20.639
was twoenty twenty two, and it was November twenty twenty

799
01:00:20.679 --> 01:00:28.519
three that my friend left, and then we're gone for

800
01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:31.199
all the way through twenty twenty four. Now were in

801
01:00:31.199 --> 01:00:34.280
twenty twenty five, so I've had him a while now.

802
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:41.719
The first week I got him, it was snowing, which

803
01:00:41.760 --> 01:00:46.239
started snowing, and you know, think I got him on

804
01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:51.119
the Saturday. Start snowing on a Sunday something like that,

805
01:00:53.480 --> 01:00:57.119
but proper snow like it's settled. It was really thick

806
01:00:57.320 --> 01:01:04.880
and everything, and I took him out and unless there

807
01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:07.119
was snow on the ground at the time, I don't think.

808
01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:11.679
There was no snow all week, all till the next week,

809
01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:13.400
so it was snow on the ground. Then it turned

810
01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:19.159
to ice, of course, like it does. I was wearing boots.

811
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:23.599
I didn't slip nothing, apart from once in the field.

812
01:01:24.360 --> 01:01:27.800
I did slip over some snow, but I didn't hurt

813
01:01:27.800 --> 01:01:30.199
myself because I fell in the snow, but that was

814
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:44.239
because he led me down this ditch thing, and I

815
01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:47.519
was like, I felt quite proud of myself because I

816
01:01:47.559 --> 01:01:51.519
hadn't fallen over, hadn't slipped really apart from that one thing,

817
01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:54.760
but that was fine. But I didn't slip over on

818
01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:57.440
the pavement. I was wearing these big boots that were

819
01:01:57.519 --> 01:02:01.960
quite good grips, and like okay, and I was being

820
01:02:02.079 --> 01:02:05.719
really careful with my posture, even though he was trying

821
01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:10.039
to pull me each way and everywhere. And he was

822
01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:13.519
happy to be out in the snow in the cold.

823
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:15.480
He didn't care. He was just happy just to be

824
01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:20.320
out and we were bonding. He was a bit naughty.

825
01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:23.280
It took a while for me and him to sort

826
01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:26.559
of lay the ground rules a little bit, you know,

827
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:32.960
and I tried to have him stay in here, but

828
01:02:33.079 --> 01:02:39.880
he just kept barking and stuff. And in the end,

829
01:02:40.360 --> 01:02:42.159
you know, I let him into the bedroom and he's

830
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:47.320
been sleeping in the bed ever since. But you know,

831
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:49.599
he didn't want to. I think when he first moved in,

832
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:52.360
he didn't want to be here, which is understandable. He

833
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:55.239
wanted to be where his home was, which was across

834
01:02:55.280 --> 01:02:58.039
the road. That's where it'd lived for the last three months,

835
01:02:59.280 --> 01:03:02.679
and it was only ten months old, so I was

836
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:06.039
literally his fourth place that he'd lived. He lived in

837
01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:08.880
a place where he was born until he was old

838
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:12.239
enough to move somewhere else. So he got his first

839
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.760
home and he was there for I don't know how long,

840
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:20.519
a couple of months or whatever, three months, and then

841
01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:26.679
she became unwell, had to give him back or phoned

842
01:03:26.760 --> 01:03:30.039
up the breeders that can can you take him back

843
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:33.320
and find him a home, So they took him back.

844
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:39.159
He then stayed with a family member of theirs for

845
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:42.440
three months or two two or three months, and then

846
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:46.280
they sold it to me, sold it, sold him to me.

847
01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:50.599
So I was a fourth home that he'd lived in.

848
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.199
So I think he was a little bit over, you know,

849
01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:56.400
all over the place. I'm sure he loved every single

850
01:03:56.440 --> 01:04:00.800
person he was around, and he was around a females.

851
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:06.320
So I was the first only male that he'd lived

852
01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:10.559
with it lived. The first place he lived there was

853
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:14.800
females and a man. The second place he lived there

854
01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:17.119
was just a female. The third place he lived there

855
01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:19.480
was just a female. And then he moved in with me.

856
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:23.280
And he's got a real affection for females, he just has.

857
01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:26.920
He's he loves men as well, but he loves women.

858
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:31.119
He's got a real Yeah, there is you consider more

859
01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:35.599
affection there for women than there are for men. But

860
01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:38.880
he's still got more affection for men than he has

861
01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:42.519
for dogs. Like he loves prefers humans. He's got a

862
01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:45.920
couple of friends that he absolutely adores, But the rest

863
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.000
of the time, if he sees a dog, like with

864
01:04:49.159 --> 01:04:52.480
a human, he'll go up to the human. He goes

865
01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:56.400
so low to a human before he says from before

866
01:04:56.400 --> 01:04:57.840
he says a load to the dog, you'll say load

867
01:04:57.840 --> 01:05:04.480
to the human. So that's how he is, and it's weird.

868
01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:08.239
So we got through that whole period of snow ice nothing.

869
01:05:10.280 --> 01:05:12.760
The day it rained. That day, I think it was

870
01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:17.199
a Wednesday or Tuesday. The following week it rained, all

871
01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:23.800
the ice was gone. My friend downstairs called up to

872
01:05:23.880 --> 01:05:25.119
bring him. Do you want to bring him out into

873
01:05:25.159 --> 01:05:28.199
the garden with LOGI? I said, all right. And this

874
01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:30.920
was like ten o'clock or something like that. Nine o'clock.

875
01:05:31.679 --> 01:05:34.280
So I go down with me crocs, not the pink

876
01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:38.760
ones I've got now, but the other ones, and I slip.

877
01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:42.199
So he's run down without the lead on, just run

878
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:47.119
down into the garden. My friend standing not right at

879
01:05:47.119 --> 01:05:48.800
the bottom of the stairs, but you know, so he

880
01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:51.400
could see me. He was just standing waiting for me,

881
01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:55.400
and I slipped probably three steps down the top, and

882
01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:57.920
then I slipped and I bounced all the way down

883
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:03.039
to the bottom, and my friend was laughing, which I

884
01:06:03.039 --> 01:06:05.480
probably would have laughed as well, had to not fractured

885
01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:15.760
my back, but I hadn't. Luckily I had my coat on. Now,

886
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:21.440
if I had not had my coat on, I could

887
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:25.679
have really really hurt myself, like but and this coat

888
01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:30.719
was quite padded, got like a winter coat. So I'm

889
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:36.159
glad I did that. Yeah, so I slipped and bounced

890
01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:40.960
down the stairs. And that was the reason I mentioned

891
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:47.440
this is because mentioned this is because the following after

892
01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:52.159
that day, for quite a few weeks, I'm still taking

893
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:56.360
him for walks. I'm still having to bend down and

894
01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:00.119
pick up, you know, his poos and stuff. It was

895
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:11.679
so hard, it was just really like almost impossible. In fact,

896
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:14.679
I shouldn't have really been doing it. I don't think

897
01:07:14.719 --> 01:07:17.039
it was probably a good idea to be bending over

898
01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:20.840
with a fractured back. I had fractures in two places,

899
01:07:21.480 --> 01:07:26.400
and I don't think it's a problem walking around, but

900
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:30.360
the bending over is I'm not sure how helpful that

901
01:07:30.519 --> 01:07:34.239
was to the healing. Maybe it was useful. I don't

902
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:37.360
know enough about fractures of the back to know about that.

903
01:07:38.840 --> 01:07:43.559
But it did heal. And that was just such a

904
01:07:43.639 --> 01:07:50.880
weird way to start my dog walking experience with my

905
01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:53.039
own dog, because he's the first time I've had my

906
01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:58.199
own dog. I've only I've had three fourth I had

907
01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:05.000
a couple of goldfish. I I had a a budgy

908
01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:11.880
once and then I had a I had Andre, but

909
01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:15.000
he was my son and Vinnie's my son. But there's

910
01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:20.079
I need to, you know, kind of responsible situations I've

911
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:24.159
been in, so that Vinnie was the first dog that

912
01:08:24.199 --> 01:08:28.159
I ever had to look after and to you know,

913
01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:31.520
to live with and to be in charge or to

914
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:38.359
be responsible for. It was such a weird start to

915
01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:44.039
be literally limping. I was limping. I was using I

916
01:08:44.119 --> 01:08:51.079
was using because I had this what did I have?

917
01:08:51.520 --> 01:09:02.399
I had a what did I have? Had an umbrella,

918
01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:05.600
but it was it had a like a walking stick

919
01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:07.880
on the end of it, So I was using that

920
01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:10.640
to help me to get a loot to get around.

921
01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:15.439
It was weird, honestly, and I was starting to hold

922
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:17.960
onto that while I bent over and so I didn't

923
01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:24.760
fall over. It was strange. And then when I first

924
01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:28.520
started and taken him out for walks, we didn't really

925
01:09:30.359 --> 01:09:33.640
go into the field or to the parks. We started

926
01:09:33.640 --> 01:09:40.800
off walking around the pavement and because I'd never really okay,

927
01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:43.800
I think it was because with Andrea, I used to

928
01:09:43.840 --> 01:09:47.239
take him walking around the estate, so I kind of

929
01:09:49.960 --> 01:10:04.279
it had been it had been a while to how

930
01:10:04.319 --> 01:10:07.800
long it had been, had it been, Yeah, it been

931
01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:12.880
a while year and a bit since Andre. So I

932
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:16.359
automatically just took him the same route that I used

933
01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:19.079
to take Andre, or there used to take me.

934
01:10:22.279 --> 01:10:25.000
And so we'd.

935
01:10:24.840 --> 01:10:29.399
Walk around the pavement around the estate and then go

936
01:10:29.479 --> 01:10:32.000
through the park and I'd be taking him out late

937
01:10:32.039 --> 01:10:40.840
at night, early hours of the morning. And then then

938
01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:42.920
they changed the lights so the lights were a lot

939
01:10:43.039 --> 01:10:46.760
dimmer than they were previously. They changed all and like

940
01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:49.880
just couldn't see, couldn't see really where I was going.

941
01:10:49.960 --> 01:10:56.520
So I don't go out late at night anymore. It

942
01:10:56.600 --> 01:11:00.359
might just be my eyesight. I don't know. I'm nause sure.

943
01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:08.680
This has been strange taking him out, because since I've

944
01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:11.840
had him, I stop at the pavement, I say wait, wait.

945
01:11:12.720 --> 01:11:16.960
He does wait hmmm. He kind of palls as well,

946
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:20.640
but he will wait sometimes and what I say is

947
01:11:21.039 --> 01:11:27.319
slowly cross slowly. One of the few things I say

948
01:11:27.399 --> 01:11:31.119
to him, and it's not a big request, is it,

949
01:11:32.479 --> 01:11:38.760
you know, just slowly. And I've been saying the same

950
01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:41.159
thing to him every time we cross the road since

951
01:11:41.159 --> 01:11:43.000
I've had him, and he still.

952
01:11:42.760 --> 01:11:50.640
Pulls, so I just yeah, but that's it's this, that's

953
01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:53.119
my history of dog walking.

954
01:11:55.000 --> 01:11:57.399
Got to know a few people over the years with Vinnie,

955
01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:02.359
which is good. And I was invited into someone's house

956
01:12:02.439 --> 01:12:05.880
today for the first time, well not the first time

957
01:12:05.960 --> 01:12:08.319
being invited, but the first time that I actually went inside,

958
01:12:10.039 --> 01:12:13.399
and one of the neighbors asked before wanted a cup

959
01:12:13.439 --> 01:12:16.920
of tea. I said no, and it's say no, I

960
01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:19.359
said no, thanks, So because I was just going to

961
01:12:19.359 --> 01:12:21.880
come home, so I all, being a bit under the weather,

962
01:12:21.920 --> 01:12:27.840
I didn't. I was just taking him out just to

963
01:12:27.880 --> 01:12:31.000
get some air and have a nice a long walk

964
01:12:31.039 --> 01:12:36.720
and then come back. And you know, but he had

965
01:12:36.760 --> 01:12:40.560
an opportunity to have a sniff around her house and

966
01:12:41.399 --> 01:12:45.439
go into the garden and he loved it. And he

967
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:49.199
gets on really well with with his friend, the other dog,

968
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:53.439
and they got on really well. And she she said,

969
01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:56.000
that's not always a case. Sometimes a dog walks when

970
01:12:56.239 --> 01:13:00.520
they say when they're walking, but when they're together, like

971
01:13:02.399 --> 01:13:04.199
they don't always get on very well with the dog,

972
01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:07.640
not him and her, but you know sometimes the other dogs.

973
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:11.319
Her dog doesn't like the other dog being in her house,

974
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:20.239
but she's seemed fine with any So yeah, it's I

975
01:13:20.279 --> 01:13:24.720
think there was a period once Andre was gone that

976
01:13:25.479 --> 01:13:28.680
I wasn't out. I wasn't going out because I was

977
01:13:29.039 --> 01:13:31.560
I didn't have to take Andre out for walks because

978
01:13:31.800 --> 01:13:35.000
you know, basically he didn't need to. I just took

979
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:38.600
him out firstly because I wanted to, and when he

980
01:13:38.680 --> 01:13:41.479
wanted to. So it was a mixture of both. He

981
01:13:41.560 --> 01:13:45.680
loved going out or weather, didn't care. I wasn't a

982
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:50.239
big fan of the rain or the wind, but didn't

983
01:13:50.239 --> 01:13:54.000
care about snow, didn't care the heat. He did get

984
01:13:54.119 --> 01:13:57.479
very hot. But big thing about it is if he

985
01:13:57.560 --> 01:14:00.880
got if he got tired, he just him up and

986
01:14:01.479 --> 01:14:04.199
he'd go into my jacket and just go to sleep.

987
01:14:05.439 --> 01:14:08.319
So what he would do, he'd walk. It'd walk me,

988
01:14:08.880 --> 01:14:12.279
says Under. He'd walk ahead of me and he'd lead

989
01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:15.880
me into the middle of nowhere in the fields as

990
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:19.840
far away as he could get. And then he just

991
01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:27.079
claps on the floor and say pick me up. So

992
01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:30.520
I'd pick him up. Or he'd just stop and put

993
01:14:30.560 --> 01:14:33.439
his put his hands against my legs for me to

994
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:37.880
pick him up, and I'd pick him up, and I

995
01:14:37.880 --> 01:14:39.680
didn't have to ask him what he wanted because he

996
01:14:39.680 --> 01:14:43.800
would literally climb into the top of my jacket and

997
01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:46.560
that'll be it. Go to sleep, and a weird thing

998
01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:51.039
about it, right, guaranteed. I mean, there was no point

999
01:14:51.079 --> 01:14:53.439
in me caring on walking because it's going to take

1000
01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:57.640
me an hour to walk back. Bless him. Why he

1001
01:14:57.680 --> 01:15:00.600
didn't just let me walk back. He wouldn't. He had

1002
01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:05.479
to go as far away as possible, guaranteed. Just before

1003
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:08.680
I got to the exit, you know, the original entrance.

1004
01:15:08.720 --> 01:15:12.239
When I was back nearly home, his head will pop up,

1005
01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:18.319
look around, and they want to get out. So when

1006
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:21.039
we were five minutes away from home, his head would

1007
01:15:21.079 --> 01:15:30.279
pop up every single time. He's so funny, it's like

1008
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:40.359
he knew he just knew strange. So, I don't know,

1009
01:15:40.439 --> 01:15:44.279
maybe like Liam Neeson in Taken Too, he could count

1010
01:15:44.319 --> 01:15:49.680
the steps, Maybe he knew the sounds from the different Yeah,

1011
01:15:49.960 --> 01:15:51.359
do you remember that bit where he's in the back

1012
01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:53.520
of the van or is it taken three I don't know,

1013
01:15:53.880 --> 01:16:01.359
or taken nine? So yeah, So it's been I think

1014
01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:04.920
that period between having Andrea and having Vinnie, where I

1015
01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:09.439
wasn't going out. I started walking around the same route

1016
01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:11.600
that I used to take andre sometimes, but it was

1017
01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:20.319
it wasn't the same being on my own. And then

1018
01:16:20.359 --> 01:16:25.239
when I got Vinnie, it's got me out of the house,

1019
01:16:27.039 --> 01:16:27.920
which is a good thing.

1020
01:16:27.960 --> 01:16:30.239
I don't enjoy it a lot.

1021
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:32.800
Sometimes I don't want to go out. I don't want

1022
01:16:32.800 --> 01:16:34.039
to get out of bed, and I don't want to

1023
01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:37.600
go out in the rain and stuff. But I think

1024
01:16:37.680 --> 01:16:45.880
ultimately it's it's been good for me to have that movement,

1025
01:16:46.079 --> 01:16:55.600
to have that those fleeting conversations with humans that you know,

1026
01:16:55.720 --> 01:17:00.199
those small bits of interaction. It's probably useful. Maybe I'm

1027
01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:09.000
not sure, but he loves being outside. I think he'd

1028
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:13.239
spend his whole day out there if he could. Really,

1029
01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:15.199
I don't think he'd want to come in. He'd come

1030
01:17:15.239 --> 01:17:17.159
in for a little sleep and then he'd go out again.

1031
01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:19.720
If I had a little cat flap which he could

1032
01:17:19.720 --> 01:17:23.960
fit through, I don't know. Maybe he'd need a little

1033
01:17:23.960 --> 01:17:27.199
bit bigger slightly, Yeah, he's probably a little bit too

1034
01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:31.560
big for a cat flap. I'm not sure. Actually, he

1035
01:17:31.600 --> 01:17:34.960
probably could fit through a big cat flap, but he would, Yeah,

1036
01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:37.439
he'd be in and out all day long. But also

1037
01:17:37.920 --> 01:17:42.600
if there was also dog flaps or cat flaps, vinnie

1038
01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:46.399
flaps in all the other doors in this building, he'd

1039
01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:48.279
be in and out of those doors, in and out

1040
01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:53.319
of those flats. And if you put them in all

1041
01:17:53.359 --> 01:17:57.680
the houses in the road, he'd be in and out

1042
01:17:57.720 --> 01:18:02.199
of all those houses. Seriously, everybody would know who he

1043
01:18:02.319 --> 01:18:05.039
is because it'd be in and out standing loads of

1044
01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:12.039
people begging for treats. It's a proper scrounger. And he

1045
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:17.960
would be huge. He would be absolutely huge, And one

1046
01:18:18.039 --> 01:18:26.520
day he would get stuck in the cat flap. That's guaranteed. Ah,

1047
01:18:29.640 --> 01:18:33.319
I think I kind of stuck to the subject Monday's

1048
01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:39.720
boring objects dog walking, So I think I did so.

1049
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:46.000
Right now it is, what's it call? Past eight pm?

1050
01:18:46.079 --> 01:18:50.960
I'm not sure if I'm going to edit this tonight.

1051
01:18:51.000 --> 01:18:53.880
I'll do it in the morning when I wake up.

1052
01:18:56.640 --> 01:18:59.119
I might do it tonight. I don't know. It's hard

1053
01:18:59.119 --> 01:19:04.560
to know, isn't it hard to guess?

1054
01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:04.960
Really?

1055
01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:10.880
Really, so thank you for listening. Remember to be kind

1056
01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:16.079
to yourself because you do deserve to be happy and

1057
01:19:16.159 --> 01:19:19.640
be gentle. Of yourself, because you also deserve to feel safe,

1058
01:19:21.560 --> 01:19:31.880
lots of love. Bye little flappy ears right at the end.

1059
01:19:32.039 --> 01:19:34.760
What was that you always know when I finished the record? It,

1060
01:19:34.840 --> 01:19:35.119
don't you?

1061
01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:40.319
Yes, because you say goodbye.

1062
01:19:43.479 --> 01:19:44.520
Relax.

1063
01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:58.199
In a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in a

1064
01:19:58.279 --> 01:20:05.800
way that can not just allow you to feel calmer

1065
01:20:06.960 --> 01:20:16.359
now and throughout the time we spend together here, not

1066
01:20:16.920 --> 01:20:22.880
just relaxed at the end of the recording when it's finished,

1067
01:20:22.920 --> 01:20:29.479
and you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace,

1068
01:20:34.239 --> 01:20:47.039
but also I think it would be nice to have

1069
01:20:47.520 --> 01:21:04.560
those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after the recording

1070
01:21:04.600 --> 01:21:18.079
has ended, so that you can still benefit from listening

1071
01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:27.880
to my voice, maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow,

1072
01:21:33.920 --> 01:21:41.760
and then by listening regularly, especially if you find like

1073
01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:45.359
some people do and myself as well. I sometimes I

1074
01:21:45.479 --> 01:21:56.079
find one particular recording that really resonates with me, and

1075
01:21:56.119 --> 01:22:01.319
I just listen to it over and over again every morning,

1076
01:22:01.520 --> 01:22:14.079
every evening. There was this recording from We're going back

1077
01:22:14.119 --> 01:22:19.640
to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it

1078
01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:24.760
was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,

1079
01:22:27.239 --> 01:22:32.439
and I managed to find it again and it still

1080
01:22:32.520 --> 01:22:38.119
has the same effect on me, and part of it

1081
01:22:38.279 --> 01:22:53.000
was the person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful,

1082
01:22:55.119 --> 01:23:01.600
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

1083
01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:12.399
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even

1084
01:23:13.119 --> 01:23:21.600
pressing the play button that since I've done that, pressed

1085
01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:31.840
the play button. This is in the days of CD players,

1086
01:23:33.840 --> 01:23:39.520
pressed the play button, ifact it might have even been

1087
01:23:39.560 --> 01:23:43.880
a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed

1088
01:23:44.119 --> 01:24:00.720
and then even without necessarily listening to her words because

1089
01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:09.840
I had to memorized. Really, it was as if my

1090
01:24:09.920 --> 01:24:21.319
body knew exactly what to do, and the muscles just

1091
01:24:25.279 --> 01:24:43.279
almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind

1092
01:24:45.920 --> 01:24:56.920
would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening to this

1093
01:24:57.000 --> 01:25:06.479
recording in the early days of learning hypnosis, and long

1094
01:25:06.600 --> 01:25:15.119
before I ever made any videos or audio recordings myself,

1095
01:25:16.359 --> 01:25:19.720
because I didn't start doing that till two thousand and six,

1096
01:25:26.640 --> 01:25:42.560
I knew, I knew how helpful I found being able

1097
01:25:42.600 --> 01:25:51.680
to just let go, to have that trust in the

1098
01:25:51.760 --> 01:26:02.159
person that I'm listening to, knowing that it's going to

1099
01:26:02.199 --> 01:26:13.039
be just as relaxing, if not more so. Each time

1100
01:26:13.279 --> 01:26:25.800
you hear my voice, you may feel the same. Some

1101
01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:40.359
people have been listening to me for over a decade.

1102
01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:45.159
Maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

1103
01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:53.439
but maybe people come back. Some people may be listen

1104
01:26:53.520 --> 01:27:10.079
every day. That's something that I do which you may

1105
01:27:10.199 --> 01:27:29.199
not realize by listening, is when I record these recordings.

1106
01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:31.159
Now.

1107
01:27:31.279 --> 01:27:43.800
For example, I also am affected by the words that

1108
01:27:43.920 --> 01:27:56.119
I say. So if I set you focus on your feet,

1109
01:27:58.640 --> 01:28:06.359
notice your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1110
01:28:11.279 --> 01:28:28.680
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

1111
01:28:28.800 --> 01:28:36.479
focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between

1112
01:28:36.520 --> 01:28:46.760
each hand, perhaps notice the the air in the room,

1113
01:28:47.279 --> 01:28:52.119
the temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands,

1114
01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:04.159
me start to notice what almost feels like a very

1115
01:29:04.359 --> 01:29:12.720
light breeze, even though there may not be any type

1116
01:29:12.720 --> 01:29:25.640
of breeze at all where you are right now. And

1117
01:29:25.720 --> 01:29:36.960
as you become aware of your hands, I'm also aware

1118
01:29:39.600 --> 01:30:05.039
of how relaxed my hands are feeling now. And when

1119
01:30:05.039 --> 01:30:12.000
it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may

1120
01:30:12.079 --> 01:30:28.439
be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when

1121
01:30:28.439 --> 01:30:41.680
I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

1122
01:30:49.560 --> 01:31:01.520
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even

1123
01:31:01.640 --> 01:31:15.640
noticing and then I carry on talking. And it's only

1124
01:31:15.880 --> 01:31:25.600
when I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring,

1125
01:31:27.479 --> 01:31:36.640
and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

1126
01:31:37.600 --> 01:31:44.760
Is it snoring? Was a pick turned up? That's why

1127
01:31:44.760 --> 01:31:52.520
I sound like when I snare and I get really

1128
01:31:52.640 --> 01:32:06.119
into the whole experience. I don't know how you feel,

1129
01:32:12.319 --> 01:32:22.880
how relaxed you feel in your feet, how relaxed you

1130
01:32:23.000 --> 01:32:46.840
feel in your hands. I have noticed more and more

1131
01:32:50.199 --> 01:33:02.920
that the more relaxed, deeper level of color that you feel,

1132
01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:22.720
the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional

1133
01:33:25.840 --> 01:33:46.840
muscle relaxation. So this allows you to breathe easier without

1134
01:33:48.279 --> 01:34:19.239
necessarily focusing on your breath, however, being able to notice

1135
01:34:19.640 --> 01:34:49.399
the ease in which you breathe so naturally. You breathe

1136
01:34:49.960 --> 01:35:33.640
so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving,

1137
01:35:39.359 --> 01:35:52.720
when I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize

1138
01:35:54.800 --> 01:36:09.199
a beautiful field with tree, some flowers producing all that

1139
01:36:11.239 --> 01:36:44.000
life giving oxygen. It feels nice too, if nothing else,

1140
01:36:47.199 --> 01:37:21.319
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling

1141
01:37:21.720 --> 01:38:12.319
of peace, serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to

1142
01:38:12.479 --> 01:38:47.600
just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful,

1143
01:38:57.520 --> 01:40:06.119
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

1144
01:40:06.760 --> 01:40:58.159
noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because

1145
01:40:58.319 --> 01:41:26.920
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical

1146
01:41:27.279 --> 01:41:44.399
sensations of allowing the stress to rip out of your body,

1147
01:41:45.359 --> 01:42:09.239
to appear out of every part of your body being

1148
01:42:09.560 --> 01:42:48.239
released from your brain, hung your mind slowly but surely.

1149
01:42:55.119 --> 01:43:32.479
The muscles in your legs relax, res re so very deeply,

1151
01:44:13.399 --> 01:44:37.920
your arms and shoulders, deepening each part of your body

1152
01:44:41.239 --> 01:45:19.680
further and deeper and deeper. Noticine, the feelings in the

1153
01:45:19.720 --> 01:46:21.760
back of your neck, feelings in your wrists, muscles in

1154
01:46:22.039 --> 01:47:05.399

You spy from your brain all the way down the

1161
01:51:35.600 --> 01:51:46.319
middle of your back, sending and receiving millions of messages

1162
01:51:47.039 --> 01:53:13.479
every day. Deepcome effort increasing deeply relaxed you means relegs,

1180
02:07:38.640 --> 02:07:50.199
You may have you may not have noticed your mind

1181
02:07:50.960 --> 02:08:52.319

1184
02:12:21.880 --> 02:13:10.159
so relaxed. Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed.

1185
02:13:13.640 --> 02:14:29.800
I'm peaceful, so peaceful, relax liqua, and you could start

1186
02:14:30.279 --> 02:14:39.760
to notice that you are feeling more relaxed, even though

1187
02:14:39.960 --> 02:14:51.199
I've not purposely focused your mind upon that sense of

1188
02:14:51.600 --> 02:14:57.000
physical comfort that is growing within you throughout your body,

1189
02:15:00.199 --> 02:15:09.840
and your mind starts to slow down, And that could

1190
02:15:09.920 --> 02:15:18.199
be almost in recognition of I guess my speech not

1191
02:15:18.439 --> 02:15:35.479
being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer. Just

1192
02:15:35.880 --> 02:15:44.399
by listening to my voice, you give yourself an opportunity

1193
02:15:46.159 --> 02:15:51.800
to take a break from the day, take a break

1194
02:15:52.000 --> 02:15:59.640
from your life as it is, and to give yourself

1195
02:15:59.720 --> 02:16:09.960
at giving yourself permission to take some time off and

1196
02:16:10.119 --> 02:16:15.760
to allow your body to relax and allow your mind

1197
02:16:16.159 --> 02:16:27.520
to slow down, which in turn releases the tension and

1198
02:16:27.680 --> 02:16:36.639
he stresses that you had in your body. It's almost

1199
02:16:36.680 --> 02:16:40.799
as if the parts of your body just open up,

1200
02:16:42.159 --> 02:16:53.760
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing

1201
02:16:54.639 --> 02:17:04.159
that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then fills your

1202
02:17:04.239 --> 02:17:16.040
body up and your mind to also starts to appreciate

1203
02:17:16.959 --> 02:17:35.280
those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting, feeling, positive, healing,

1204
02:17:38.479 --> 02:17:47.040
an energy that spreads through your body like a wave

1205
02:17:49.360 --> 02:18:01.520
of comfort. And all this comes from just allowing yourself

1206
02:18:04.319 --> 02:18:09.520
a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however long you

1207
02:18:09.639 --> 02:18:22.200
want it to be, to just rest and allow your

1208
02:18:22.319 --> 02:18:32.760
mind and your body to almost reset itself to the

1209
02:18:32.920 --> 02:18:48.799
settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more room

1210
02:18:49.280 --> 02:19:02.319
for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around your

1211
02:19:02.399 --> 02:19:10.840
body and into your mind, almost as if your mind

1212
02:19:10.959 --> 02:19:21.559
and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each other

1213
02:19:22.600 --> 02:19:34.639
with that growing positivity and calmness, and it feels nice.

1214
02:19:37.040 --> 02:19:43.079
It really does feel nice to know that you are

1215
02:19:43.079 --> 02:19:53.280
the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort

1216
02:19:56.520 --> 02:19:59.360
and to experience.

1217
02:20:01.120 --> 02:20:02.280
More at this.

1218
02:20:04.040 --> 02:20:19.200
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1219
02:20:20.760 --> 02:20:26.520
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1220
02:20:26.760 --> 02:20:41.280
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1221
02:20:43.840 --> 02:20:53.479
It becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing.

1222
02:20:57.520 --> 02:21:03.280
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1223
02:21:06.000 --> 02:21:12.680
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

1224
02:21:12.879 --> 02:21:20.520
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

1225
02:21:20.559 --> 02:21:33.879
on or just automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation

1226
02:21:34.319 --> 02:21:47.360
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going

1227
02:21:47.399 --> 02:21:54.319
to start by focusing on your forehead, just being aware

1228
02:21:54.959 --> 02:22:05.079
the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds. But

1229
02:22:05.280 --> 02:22:10.360
mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel

1230
02:22:10.479 --> 02:22:20.479
even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment. This

1231
02:22:20.639 --> 02:22:23.440
isn't this isn't a sterile environment.

1232
02:22:24.799 --> 02:22:25.799
This is the world.

1233
02:22:29.239 --> 02:22:35.280
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1234
02:22:35.799 --> 02:22:46.280
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1235
02:22:46.559 --> 02:22:54.319
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1236
02:22:56.639 --> 02:23:01.120
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1237
02:23:06.319 --> 02:23:14.600
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1238
02:23:17.079 --> 02:23:26.760
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1239
02:23:26.840 --> 02:23:33.239
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1240
02:23:33.520 --> 02:23:47.959
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1241
02:23:48.440 --> 02:23:55.040
your tongue, your teeth, and your gums, the whole of

1242
02:23:55.200 --> 02:24:10.000
your mouth relaxing, calm and lease. As you focus now

1243
02:24:10.799 --> 02:24:17.680
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw

1244
02:24:17.840 --> 02:24:22.239
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way

1245
02:24:22.319 --> 02:24:28.719
up the size of your face to your ears, that

1246
02:24:28.959 --> 02:24:54.159
hole of your jaw feeding more relaxed and calm, focusing.

1247
02:24:56.920 --> 02:24:57.680
On your neck.

1248
02:25:00.360 --> 02:25:06.159
The front of your neck and your throat relaxing and

1249
02:25:07.680 --> 02:25:18.120
loose and calm. The side of your neck, the right

1250
02:25:18.319 --> 02:25:31.239
and left side of your neck relax and loose and calm.

1251
02:25:37.600 --> 02:25:44.280
And now the back of your neck, focusing on the

1252
02:25:44.559 --> 02:25:54.959
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

1253
02:25:55.159 --> 02:26:03.680
may have been there before, and enjoy in that sense

1254
02:26:04.000 --> 02:26:15.520
of increasing comfort and release that you can experience in

1255
02:26:15.639 --> 02:26:27.559
the back of your neck. Moving down your back and

1256
02:26:27.719 --> 02:26:32.559
moving either side of your spine right from the top

1257
02:26:32.639 --> 02:26:38.159
of your back all the way down to the bottom

1258
02:26:38.239 --> 02:26:55.239
of your back, down to your lower back. And as

1259
02:26:55.319 --> 02:27:02.719
you move up and down your spine, you can feel

1260
02:27:02.879 --> 02:27:10.639
the muscles either side of your spine relaxing even more.

1261
02:27:18.120 --> 02:27:24.879
And as those muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts

1262
02:27:24.959 --> 02:27:35.079
to spread outwards from your spine into both sides of

1263
02:27:35.200 --> 02:27:42.159
your back, the top of your back, the middle and

1264
02:27:42.319 --> 02:27:51.799
your lower back. And as you scan gently and slowly

1265
02:27:53.040 --> 02:27:58.280
up and down your back, there's the muscles in the

1266
02:27:58.440 --> 02:28:08.239
top of your back relax and become looser. The muscles

1267
02:28:08.399 --> 02:28:14.040
in the middle of your back also seem to just

1268
02:28:14.479 --> 02:28:28.959
almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting, and

1269
02:28:29.200 --> 02:28:35.239
in your lower back there seems to be an extra

1270
02:28:35.479 --> 02:28:51.520
special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips, so

1271
02:28:51.760 --> 02:28:59.799
down your lower back, into your hips, into the area

1272
02:29:00.000 --> 02:29:08.440
where your cocksticks are, and into your buttocks, and all

1273
02:29:08.479 --> 02:29:11.559
those muscles that spread.

1274
02:29:13.799 --> 02:29:15.000
From your lower back.

1275
02:29:17.280 --> 02:29:29.520
Into your hip area start to melt, start to really

1276
02:29:30.719 --> 02:29:41.600
let go. I don't even nowhere about to focus on

1277
02:29:41.719 --> 02:29:50.760
your shoulders. Your back and your spine will continue to

1278
02:29:51.040 --> 02:30:09.319
let go, continue to relax so calmly, and as you

1279
02:30:09.479 --> 02:30:15.360
focus on your shoulders, you may notice that they're already

1280
02:30:17.239 --> 02:30:50.159
feeling really loose. They're already feeding, calm and fearing. Those

1281
02:30:50.360 --> 02:31:05.120
muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders. Feel

1282
02:31:05.639 --> 02:31:34.440
so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and the

1283
02:31:34.680 --> 02:31:48.120
feeling in your shoulders seens to spread deep into your shoulders,

1284
02:31:50.200 --> 02:31:59.440
that sense of relaxation not just traveling deeply into your muscles,

1285
02:32:02.920 --> 02:32:15.799
but also relaxing the bones and moving all the way

1286
02:32:16.040 --> 02:32:24.760
to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area between the

1287
02:32:24.920 --> 02:32:34.000
tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms healing.

1288
02:32:39.399 --> 02:32:40.079
You feel so.

1289
02:32:42.040 --> 02:32:56.079
Relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sends that deep

1290
02:32:56.920 --> 02:33:17.760
healing message into your arms and you may feel almost

1291
02:33:17.920 --> 02:33:22.680
as if your arms are not even there, because they're

1292
02:33:23.200 --> 02:34:06.120
so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm, so loose,

1293
02:34:13.520 --> 02:34:24.680
not feeling spreading all the way down your arms, two elbows,

1294
02:34:28.479 --> 02:34:56.600
including your elbows circumforts spreads or away into wrists, your

1295
02:34:56.879 --> 02:35:11.760
forearments and your wrists, Yes, so heavy, yet at the

1296
02:35:12.120 --> 02:35:52.799
same time, so light and gentle. Foy perceive.

02:35:54.719 --> 02:36:22.520
Now on your hands, my hands.

1298
02:36:28.319 --> 02:36:57.879
So peaceful in your hands, there's a sense of real peace.

1299
02:37:09.639 --> 02:37:22.719
It just seems to I feel so familiar when your

1300
02:37:22.920 --> 02:37:26.520
hands relax deeply.

02:46:00.879 --> 02:46:02.000
So calm.

1314
02:46:09.799 --> 02:46:17.559
Allowing that deep relaxation to spread your chest, in your stomach,

1315
02:46:21.319 --> 02:46:49.079
so letting go of everything. So I'm gonna start counting

1316
02:46:49.200 --> 02:47:00.920
down now from twenty down to one. You can imagine

1317
02:47:00.959 --> 02:47:04.639
in a way, it's like just walking down some steps

1318
02:47:06.600 --> 02:47:10.920
and each step or twenty steps, and each step represents

1319
02:47:12.239 --> 02:47:25.120
a level of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of

1320
02:47:25.319 --> 02:47:36.040
that comfort, and the furvies you walk down those steps,

1321
02:47:36.200 --> 02:47:48.680
the deeper and more relaxed you feel. So starting with

1322
02:47:48.879 --> 02:50:23.040
number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen.

1323
02:51:37.719 --> 02:52:21.319
Three four.

1324
02:53:20.799 --> 02:56:38.799
Four see too well five eight.

1325
02:57:43.959 --> 03:02:40.000
Nine eight seven six five.

1326
03:03:58.760 --> 03:07:37.319
Four one.

1327
03:08:26.879 --> 03:08:27.520
And now.

1328
03:08:31.959 --> 03:08:44.639
As you focus on your eyes, we're gonna count down

1329
03:08:45.040 --> 03:09:00.799
from ten douts one, focusing just on your eyes, eyelids,

1330
03:09:01.239 --> 03:09:10.040
the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves, our

1331
03:09:10.200 --> 03:09:27.079
whole area that makes up your eye. And as we

1332
03:09:27.319 --> 03:09:35.600
count down from ten down to one, whilst focus in

1333
03:09:35.840 --> 03:09:51.200
on your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed with each

1334
03:09:51.639 --> 03:10:04.120
number counting down, and you may find the all you

1335
03:10:04.399 --> 03:10:13.200
want to do is just drift off to sleep. And

1336
03:10:13.399 --> 03:10:19.959
if that's what you want, then just allow yourself to

1337
03:10:20.079 --> 03:10:34.680
do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going to

1338
03:10:34.840 --> 03:10:44.600
begin counting down from ten down to one right now

1339
03:10:53.200 --> 03:14:52.639
ten nine eight seven s five.

1340
03:15:02.120 --> 03:17:17.399
Four three.

1341
03:18:22.760 --> 03:19:51.520
Two one.

1342
03:19:57.520 --> 03:19:57.680
Two.

1343
03:20:06.040 --> 03:20:17.360
Counting down from ten to one ten nine eight seven

1344
03:20:19.479 --> 03:20:31.360
six five four, three, two.

1345
03:20:33.879 --> 03:20:34.079
One.

1346
03:20:41.120 --> 03:20:44.000
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1347
03:20:44.079 --> 03:20:48.000
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1348
03:20:48.360 --> 03:20:58.040
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1349
03:20:58.079 --> 03:21:01.639
little bit of pressure there. Like you'll count it down

1350
03:21:01.719 --> 03:21:04.680
from ten to one. Would you expect me to do man,

1351
03:21:05.600 --> 03:21:10.159
expect me to stick gold floppy just because you're counting down.

1352
03:21:15.760 --> 03:21:19.840
We could try again, but this time I go this lower.

1353
03:21:22.079 --> 03:21:26.920
This time, as you focus on the whole of your

1354
03:21:27.000 --> 03:21:35.360
body before we focus on your legs. Just notice how

1355
03:21:35.440 --> 03:21:49.559
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every

1356
03:21:49.680 --> 03:22:42.159
number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

1357
03:22:49.600 --> 03:23:41.079
three two one, And just notice how how you feel, generally,

1358
03:23:41.479 --> 03:23:55.799
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

1359
03:23:55.959 --> 03:24:03.040
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

1360
03:24:04.399 --> 03:24:22.840
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

1361
03:24:27.600 --> 03:24:32.760
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

1362
03:24:32.959 --> 03:24:39.559
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So

1363
03:24:40.280 --> 03:24:43.280
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1364
03:24:43.360 --> 03:24:54.319
a space, a gap. And the more I came down

1365
03:24:54.399 --> 03:25:01.760
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1366
03:25:01.879 --> 03:25:14.319
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

1367
03:25:14.440 --> 03:25:28.479
nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically

1368
03:25:28.639 --> 03:25:31.159
or emotionally, moves them.

1369
03:25:32.680 --> 03:25:33.040
Away.

1370
03:25:39.840 --> 03:25:40.799
Allows you.

1371
03:25:43.479 --> 03:25:44.040
To just.

1372
03:25:47.000 --> 03:25:53.319
Slow down. So ione to count again from ten down

1373
03:25:53.360 --> 03:26:03.360
to one, and notice that gap widening, the gap, And

1374
03:26:03.479 --> 03:26:08.479
as it widens, it's almost like the thestress and attention

1375
03:26:09.319 --> 03:26:28.440
falls into the gap and gives you that distance that space.

1376
03:26:30.799 --> 03:28:07.079
Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three two.

1377
03:28:25.319 --> 03:28:25.559
One.

1378
03:28:37.120 --> 03:28:57.239
Now, how does your body feel now? Can you notice

1379
03:28:57.520 --> 03:29:35.239
that you feeling calm, mh the feeling more relaxed as

1380
03:29:35.280 --> 03:29:55.600
we now focus on your legs, just your legs. We're

1381
03:29:55.680 --> 03:30:15.559
just gonna start with focusing on your thought. Of course,

1382
03:30:15.680 --> 03:30:20.600
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because

1383
03:30:24.040 --> 03:30:26.680
I'm sure like most of your body is not a

1384
03:30:26.799 --> 03:30:39.200
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

1385
03:30:39.360 --> 03:30:45.760
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

1386
03:30:45.879 --> 03:30:52.879
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

1387
03:30:53.000 --> 03:30:57.879
and you're inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh

1388
03:30:58.000 --> 03:31:06.760
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

1389
03:31:07.000 --> 03:31:21.040
your knee joint. Now, this is a big area. It's

1390
03:31:21.079 --> 03:31:26.520
a very heavy area, it's very strong probably the strongest

1391
03:31:27.559 --> 03:31:40.719
muscles in your body, or in your thighs. But I

1392
03:31:40.799 --> 03:31:49.079
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1393
03:31:55.040 --> 03:32:02.639
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important and our thighs are

1394
03:32:05.760 --> 03:32:22.520
to our lives, how much they actually do for us

1395
03:32:26.440 --> 03:32:36.479
all through our lives. And it may seem to sound

1396
03:32:36.559 --> 03:32:37.319
really weird, but.

1397
03:32:40.200 --> 03:32:41.520
I think that all of our.

1398
03:32:41.479 --> 03:32:52.319
Body parts, especially our thighs, needs some TLC, a bit

1399
03:32:52.360 --> 03:33:09.159
of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude

1400
03:33:12.120 --> 03:33:20.920
for what our thighs do for us. And I know

1401
03:33:21.079 --> 03:33:27.159
this may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why

1402
03:33:27.200 --> 03:33:29.920
am I surely how I should be out in the

1403
03:33:30.000 --> 03:33:38.520
garden hugging a tree or something. Well, it's hard to

1404
03:33:38.600 --> 03:33:41.799
set a microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm

1405
03:33:41.840 --> 03:33:44.680
doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree.

1406
03:33:45.920 --> 03:33:54.680
Now I can't see the television from the tree. If

1407
03:33:54.719 --> 03:33:59.559
you move down to your knees gaining such an important

1408
03:33:59.719 --> 03:34:08.600
part art, and I think we don't necessarily I'll speak

1409
03:34:08.639 --> 03:34:16.000
for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all that my

1410
03:34:16.200 --> 03:34:21.319
needs do for me until I have a problem with

1411
03:34:21.479 --> 03:34:26.440
my knee. It's occasionally if I ever, maybe i'll pash

1412
03:34:26.520 --> 03:34:32.559
it or it's aching for some reason. It's then that

1413
03:34:32.680 --> 03:34:38.239
I realize how much it does. You know, the benefit

1414
03:34:38.319 --> 03:34:45.840
of being able to use my legs without any kind

1415
03:34:45.879 --> 03:34:53.559
of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's possibly not

1416
03:34:53.680 --> 03:35:05.680
appreciated until it's temporarily removed. That's comfort. But as you

1417
03:35:05.799 --> 03:35:11.000
focus on your knees, regardless of how your knees feel,

1418
03:35:14.120 --> 03:35:19.840
you can have that sense of gratitude and love to

1419
03:35:19.959 --> 03:35:32.559
your knees for all that they do for you. And

1420
03:35:32.719 --> 03:35:36.360
you can still have that attention on your thighs and

1421
03:35:36.479 --> 03:35:42.680
maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that

1422
03:35:43.000 --> 03:36:01.719
they are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on

1423
03:36:01.840 --> 03:36:06.360
the bottoms of your legs, your shins and your calf muscles,

1424
03:36:06.879 --> 03:36:14.559
the bones between your knees and your feet incorporate, and

1425
03:36:14.639 --> 03:36:26.959
of course your ankles so important. Anyone that's had even

1426
03:36:27.040 --> 03:36:34.479
the slightest sprain of an ankle knows how how much

1427
03:36:34.639 --> 03:36:44.440
we take our ankles for granted. And it's kind of

1428
03:36:44.559 --> 03:36:49.000
strange in a way when you think that. You know,

1429
03:36:49.399 --> 03:36:53.280
logically our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest

1430
03:36:53.319 --> 03:36:58.079
of our arms, which is okay. It doesn't can't see

1431
03:36:58.120 --> 03:37:01.600
any problem with that because we're just picking stuff up.

1432
03:37:03.200 --> 03:37:08.799
But our ankles so much thinner than the rest of

1433
03:37:08.879 --> 03:37:19.719
our legs, and from a physics perspective or logical even

1434
03:37:19.799 --> 03:37:25.520
it doesn't really make sense that all this weight would

1435
03:37:25.600 --> 03:37:32.799
ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading to your feet,

1436
03:37:37.399 --> 03:37:46.200
that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does so much

1437
03:37:46.319 --> 03:37:53.360
great work. Supports us, supports our body for a lifetime,

1438
03:37:58.159 --> 03:38:07.680
helps us to balance, It helps you to get around

1439
03:38:07.799 --> 03:38:16.719
and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles. Of course,

1440
03:38:21.840 --> 03:38:24.319
when I was younger, I couldn't see the point in

1441
03:38:24.399 --> 03:38:30.399
calf muscles. Didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if I

1442
03:38:30.440 --> 03:38:34.399
walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get some work.

1443
03:38:35.799 --> 03:38:38.360
But of course that's not true. The calf muscles are

1444
03:38:38.399 --> 03:38:48.319
being used whenever we use our legs and your shins

1445
03:38:51.559 --> 03:39:00.559
there to protect your lower legs shape in a way,

1446
03:39:02.399 --> 03:39:14.520
almost as a protector for the bone, leading of course

1447
03:39:14.600 --> 03:39:24.760
to your ankles and your feet. But we're not going

1448
03:39:24.840 --> 03:39:26.959
to focus on your feet. We're just going to focus

1449
03:39:27.040 --> 03:39:33.680
on the legs. I realize that now that I've mentioned

1450
03:39:33.719 --> 03:39:38.399
your feet, it probably focuses on them anyway, So maybe

1451
03:39:38.479 --> 03:39:44.600
I should focus on your feet a little bit. You

1452
03:39:44.680 --> 03:39:49.120
can have them in your awareness the same as you

1453
03:39:49.959 --> 03:39:53.840
have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we haven't

1454
03:39:53.879 --> 03:39:59.520
been focusing on your thighs a few minutes, let me

1455
03:39:59.680 --> 03:40:14.120
focus on your ankles. There's still that sensation of comfort

1456
03:40:16.840 --> 03:40:28.799
in your thighs, and there's that movement of energy because

1457
03:40:28.840 --> 03:40:35.799
the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's

1458
03:40:35.840 --> 03:40:40.600
the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have in

1459
03:40:40.680 --> 03:40:54.520
our thighs. But the skin on the outside of the thighs,

1460
03:40:55.520 --> 03:41:00.239
as in the outside of all of our body, can

1461
03:41:00.280 --> 03:41:11.639
be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1462
03:41:18.200 --> 03:41:25.760
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1463
03:41:25.799 --> 03:41:30.559
the blood, vessels, the arch trees, to all this stuff

1464
03:41:30.719 --> 03:41:39.399
that's inside your thighs. And I guess sometimes it'd be

1465
03:41:39.559 --> 03:41:43.639
nice if you could actually put your fingers inside your

1466
03:41:43.760 --> 03:41:49.920
thighs and a message, so you can message on the outside,

1467
03:41:50.159 --> 03:41:53.079
of course, but to be able to get deep into

1468
03:41:53.159 --> 03:41:58.000
the muscles and to be able to just message inside

1469
03:41:58.040 --> 03:42:05.159
your thighs, message the bones of your leg, massage in

1470
03:42:07.879 --> 03:42:18.319
or the veins and just gently heathing your thighs and

1471
03:42:18.479 --> 03:42:25.040
you could move down massage and inside your knees, just

1472
03:42:25.239 --> 03:42:31.959
message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that

1473
03:42:32.360 --> 03:42:43.520
healing energy deep into the joints of your knees. Of course,

1474
03:42:43.600 --> 03:42:46.920
there's the back of your your knee, you know, the

1475
03:42:47.079 --> 03:42:54.079
inside crease where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area.

1476
03:42:56.079 --> 03:43:00.399
Very it feels very nice when you stroke it. That

1477
03:43:00.600 --> 03:43:04.280
might be because it's an area that's not really touched

1478
03:43:04.479 --> 03:43:11.079
very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that crease

1479
03:43:13.200 --> 03:43:14.920
in your legs. It's almost.

1480
03:43:16.719 --> 03:43:17.680
It's like a part that.

1481
03:43:19.440 --> 03:43:30.680
Has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,

1482
03:43:30.760 --> 03:43:41.280
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

1483
03:43:42.159 --> 03:43:51.760
your fingers into that crease in your legs, that fold

1484
03:43:51.959 --> 03:43:56.040
in between your legs. You can just message with your fingertips.

1485
03:43:57.239 --> 03:44:04.040
Imagine your fingertips going inside massage in the muscle tissue.

1486
03:44:08.639 --> 03:44:12.879
You can of course field the bones of your knees,

1487
03:44:14.399 --> 03:44:24.840
healing through your fingertips. And then as you go down

1488
03:44:27.719 --> 03:44:30.520
to your calf muscles. Now that's the part I'd like

1489
03:44:30.600 --> 03:44:35.280
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1490
03:44:36.040 --> 03:44:45.000
my calf muscles massage in every single tissue of that muscle.

1491
03:44:46.600 --> 03:44:56.520
Healing every part and then doing the same for my shins,

1492
03:44:59.639 --> 03:45:06.600
mess argin and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them,

1493
03:45:07.479 --> 03:45:11.639
healing in a loving way, because they deserve to be

1494
03:45:11.799 --> 03:45:19.040
treated as the precious bones that they are. Because our

1495
03:45:19.120 --> 03:45:22.680
legs are so precious as in all the other parts

1496
03:45:22.760 --> 03:45:30.399
of our body, and more precious of any jure on

1497
03:45:30.520 --> 03:45:46.840
the planet. When you start to think about your legs

1498
03:45:47.000 --> 03:45:58.120
in this way, it can change your perspective. It might

1499
03:45:58.280 --> 03:46:04.879
sound a bit a bit silly to start with the

1500
03:46:05.079 --> 03:46:13.239
idea of having love for your legs, showing appreciation for

1501
03:46:13.360 --> 03:46:19.399
your thighs, wanting to be able to put your hands

1502
03:46:20.360 --> 03:46:27.200
in your thighs the massage the muscles and the bones,

1503
03:46:29.120 --> 03:46:34.799
and to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

1504
03:46:37.680 --> 03:46:46.280
just to show how much you care about your legs,

1505
03:46:47.200 --> 03:46:50.920
how much you care for what your legs do for

1506
03:46:51.079 --> 03:47:04.680
you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength

1507
03:47:04.840 --> 03:47:12.879
of your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to

1508
03:47:13.000 --> 03:47:19.719
the rest of your legs, especially your thighs, yet they're

1509
03:47:19.879 --> 03:47:32.120
so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are

1510
03:47:36.000 --> 03:47:41.079
truly a gift because of what they do for you,

1511
03:47:46.559 --> 03:47:53.479
supporting all that weight. Regardless of how what weight you are,

1512
03:47:54.680 --> 03:47:59.440
even if you only ate stone, there's still a lot

1513
03:47:59.479 --> 03:48:06.159
of weight for these little ankles. Now I'm a lot

1514
03:48:06.399 --> 03:48:16.360
heavier than eight stone double down, yet my ankles support

1515
03:48:16.440 --> 03:48:23.799
my body all the time, or they do give off

1516
03:48:23.799 --> 03:48:29.200
a sigh of relief when I sit down, as I've

1517
03:48:29.239 --> 03:48:36.440
got my whole legs do my feet feet also go,

1518
03:48:38.399 --> 03:48:39.280
my toes clap.

1519
03:48:40.440 --> 03:48:41.200
I'm so happy.

1520
03:49:00.959 --> 03:49:10.520
Your legs really are amazing. And I know that about

1521
03:49:11.120 --> 03:49:16.920
talking about your legs is probably possibly among the most

1522
03:49:17.879 --> 03:49:25.399
most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly you're

1523
03:49:25.520 --> 03:49:32.360
boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your legs

1524
03:49:33.000 --> 03:49:53.000
are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, They deserve

1525
03:49:53.120 --> 03:50:05.520
to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time out

1526
03:50:06.079 --> 03:50:29.559
of the day to just let go completely. Your legs

1527
03:50:35.000 --> 03:50:48.239
really can relax. And because the legs are so such

1528
03:50:48.319 --> 03:50:52.799
a most, you know, very important part of your body.

1529
03:50:54.120 --> 03:50:56.680
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body

1530
03:50:57.360 --> 03:51:16.120
also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can

1531
03:51:16.239 --> 03:51:21.200
feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,

1532
03:51:24.479 --> 03:51:29.079
and also my law back as well. My lower back

1533
03:51:29.319 --> 03:51:34.840
really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting

1534
03:51:34.879 --> 03:51:40.879
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as

1535
03:51:40.959 --> 03:51:44.000
I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if the

1536
03:51:44.120 --> 03:51:48.079
muscles are just relaxed so much that there is a

1537
03:51:48.239 --> 03:52:12.920
natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot. And

1538
03:52:13.000 --> 03:52:16.399
I'm now going to count down from ten down to one,

1539
03:52:20.719 --> 03:52:35.159
and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine,

1540
03:52:38.319 --> 03:52:50.440
eight seven six, five.

1541
03:52:54.719 --> 03:52:58.840
Four three.

1542
03:53:02.799 --> 03:53:02.959
Two.

1543
03:53:07.280 --> 03:53:14.239
Why relax?

1544
03:53:22.120 --> 03:53:25.959
So I'm just going to count down from five down

1545
03:53:26.040 --> 03:53:30.479
to one, And as a countdown, if you just focus

1546
03:53:30.559 --> 03:53:38.479
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1547
03:53:39.399 --> 03:53:41.760
how you feel.

1548
03:53:44.120 --> 03:53:45.280
In this moment.

1549
03:53:46.719 --> 03:53:51.079
As you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those

1550
03:53:51.280 --> 03:54:04.319
numbers counting down represents you feeling calmer, not just in

1551
03:54:04.399 --> 03:54:12.760
your body, but also relaxing your mind. I just notice

1552
03:54:12.799 --> 03:54:18.840
how you feel. There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say,

1553
03:54:19.520 --> 03:54:46.600
there's nothing to think about, starting with number five four three.

1554
03:54:56.959 --> 03:55:03.360
Two one.

1555
03:55:12.840 --> 03:55:24.680
And as you notice the gradual letting go that the

1556
03:55:24.840 --> 03:55:32.440
tension in your body, you may also begin to notice

1557
03:55:32.559 --> 03:55:39.799
and be aware of how your mind is starting to

1558
03:55:41.120 --> 03:55:47.719
slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1559
03:55:50.360 --> 03:55:55.520
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1560
03:55:55.600 --> 03:56:01.520
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax,

1561
03:56:03.120 --> 03:56:06.760
and the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1562
03:56:06.879 --> 03:56:17.399
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that

1563
03:56:18.680 --> 03:56:26.559
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

1564
03:56:26.559 --> 03:56:33.520
if there's background sounds either your side online, it's still

1565
03:56:34.040 --> 03:56:39.319
going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got

1566
03:56:39.360 --> 03:56:44.520
the television on, there's no music in the background unless

1567
03:56:44.559 --> 03:56:51.959
you're listening to the recording. With music. Of course, you're

1568
03:56:52.159 --> 03:56:54.239
very likely not going to be sitting in a room

1569
03:56:54.319 --> 03:56:58.879
with other people. Of course you might be, but generally

1570
03:56:59.079 --> 03:57:02.200
it's ideal if you can do this on your own,

1571
03:57:03.879 --> 03:57:13.959
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1572
03:57:20.559 --> 03:57:30.799
relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts to grow,

1573
03:57:35.319 --> 03:57:42.000
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1574
03:57:42.399 --> 03:57:54.159
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1575
03:57:54.319 --> 03:58:04.479
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1576
03:58:04.600 --> 03:58:11.440
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1577
03:58:11.639 --> 03:58:15.479
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1578
03:58:15.600 --> 03:58:27.200
really force. It's something that happens naturally and part of

1579
03:58:27.639 --> 03:58:36.399
the process of this recording and others is simply.

1580
03:58:37.680 --> 03:58:37.879
Two.

1581
03:58:39.440 --> 03:58:49.799
Allow you to take advantage of this space. This time,

1582
03:58:52.760 --> 03:59:03.719
it's just let go, to just be here, to be

1583
03:59:04.399 --> 03:59:17.799
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

1584
03:59:20.040 --> 03:59:31.479
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,

1585
03:59:32.639 --> 03:59:37.799
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself

1586
03:59:39.600 --> 03:59:54.639
in this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority

1587
03:59:55.879 --> 04:00:00.360
of the process of falling asleep. The actual fallness sleep

1588
04:00:00.440 --> 04:00:07.200
part is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper

1589
04:00:08.520 --> 04:00:30.959
relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. You

1590
04:00:31.040 --> 04:00:38.040
can also if you choose stay focused on my voice

1591
04:00:39.840 --> 04:01:11.280
and really enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle in

1592
04:01:11.440 --> 04:01:38.760
your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting

1593
04:01:38.920 --> 04:01:54.520
go completely. This time, I'm on a count from six

1594
04:01:55.559 --> 04:02:07.600
down to one, and you can notice your mind calming

1595
04:02:07.920 --> 04:02:20.440
down more with each number that you hear me say, naturally,

1596
04:02:21.520 --> 04:03:03.680
feeling calm and slow and be peaceful. Sex five.

1597
04:03:23.440 --> 04:03:56.319
Four three.

1598
04:05:02.799 --> 04:05:33.760
On being aware of how your mind to slowed right down,

1599
04:05:37.040 --> 04:06:00.399
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1600
04:06:00.719 --> 04:06:10.639
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there

1601
04:06:13.239 --> 04:06:22.799
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

1602
04:06:22.879 --> 04:06:23.479
your attention.

1603
04:06:30.399 --> 04:06:31.719
That's what you can do is.

1604
04:06:37.319 --> 04:06:45.120
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts.

1605
04:06:49.280 --> 04:06:49.799
With love.

1606
04:06:51.559 --> 04:06:55.760
I all petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

1607
04:06:57.239 --> 04:07:04.360
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those

1608
04:07:04.600 --> 04:07:11.000
thoughts know that you're not abandoned in them. You just

1609
04:07:11.520 --> 04:07:21.559
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,

1610
04:07:23.879 --> 04:07:38.760
quiet down for now. So as you focus on those

1611
04:07:39.520 --> 04:07:44.399
remaining thoughts as we count down this time from seven

1612
04:07:45.319 --> 04:07:54.000
down to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those

1613
04:07:54.239 --> 04:08:13.680
flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which

1614
04:08:13.680 --> 04:08:19.680
will allow them to just melt away and relax deeply.

1615
04:08:23.840 --> 04:08:45.079
With every number, those thoughts will become more and more relaxed, starting.

1616
04:08:48.000 --> 04:10:06.799
With number seven, six, five, four, three.

1617
04:10:39.079 --> 04:10:58.280
Two one.

1618
04:11:00.040 --> 04:11:16.120
Yeah, And as you now.

1619
04:11:20.239 --> 04:11:41.440
Notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body, we're going

1620
04:11:41.520 --> 04:11:55.239
to focus on your hands, because the more relaxed your

1621
04:11:55.399 --> 04:12:02.280
hands are, the more relaxed body and mind are.

1622
04:12:17.239 --> 04:12:17.840
And there's.

1623
04:12:19.360 --> 04:12:29.520
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing

1624
04:12:30.040 --> 04:12:34.760
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or

1625
04:12:35.840 --> 04:12:45.799
dents in the fingers or anything like that. Yeah, it's

1626
04:12:46.079 --> 04:12:59.920
just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing the health

1627
04:13:00.079 --> 04:13:16.040
you feel, because.

1628
04:13:15.840 --> 04:13:16.719
The more.

1629
04:13:18.680 --> 04:13:29.079
Relaxed your hands feel, the calmer your mind feels, and

1630
04:13:29.440 --> 04:13:37.879
the more comfort you feel throughout your body.

1631
04:13:43.079 --> 04:13:43.959
And you.

1632
04:13:46.600 --> 04:14:17.159
May have already noticed, you're of mind is starting to

1633
04:14:17.520 --> 04:14:45.159
dress like sense just on your hands and fingers, allowing

1634
04:14:45.760 --> 04:15:00.159
them to experience a real deepening of that relaxation in

1635
04:15:00.319 --> 04:15:02.520
your hands and fingers.

1636
04:15:08.000 --> 04:15:08.639
More.

1637
04:15:11.520 --> 04:15:12.840
And more relaxed.

1638
04:15:17.959 --> 04:15:19.440
With each number.

1639
04:15:27.000 --> 04:15:39.479
From eight down to one, you can almost feel that

1640
04:15:40.319 --> 04:15:54.680
healing and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming.

1641
04:15:58.600 --> 04:16:00.000
Year and more.

1642
04:16:02.120 --> 04:16:18.879
Relaxing with each number you hear, going down eight down

1643
04:16:19.639 --> 04:19:15.600
to one, drifting, drifting again starting with number eight, seven, six, five, four, three,

1644
04:20:35.399 --> 04:20:44.680
just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1645
04:20:46.319 --> 04:21:00.239
nothing to say, and everything just feels calm. And this

1646
04:21:00.520 --> 04:21:08.120
is your natural state of being. This is how you

1647
04:21:08.399 --> 04:21:15.280
just normally feel when you take away all that other

1648
04:21:15.719 --> 04:21:22.639
stuff that we add, you know, things like stress and

1649
04:21:22.879 --> 04:21:39.040
worrying and overthinking's anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff.

1650
04:21:41.280 --> 04:21:45.200
You take that away, which is what we do, what

1651
04:21:45.319 --> 04:21:53.239
we do, now you're left with.

1652
04:21:55.959 --> 04:22:05.000
A real sense of peacefulness, which comes to you very quickly,

1653
04:22:09.159 --> 04:22:20.040
because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort.

1654
04:22:23.639 --> 04:22:26.920
It's almost as if you've gone inside yourself and you've

1655
04:22:27.079 --> 04:22:41.680
found a special place where everything is peaceful, a place

1656
04:22:41.879 --> 04:22:49.760
where you can feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort,

1657
04:22:52.959 --> 04:23:01.639
a place where you can be you. You can accept

1658
04:23:01.760 --> 04:23:07.840
yourself for who you are, the place where you're not

1659
04:23:08.040 --> 04:23:18.399
trying to please anybody else ever, the place where you

1660
04:23:18.639 --> 04:23:28.200
can actually not just love yourself, but in some ways

1661
04:23:28.239 --> 04:23:37.399
more importantly, you can like yourself appreciate who you are.

1662
04:23:46.239 --> 04:23:52.840
That sense of gratitude is in the air all around you.

1663
04:24:00.520 --> 04:24:08.319
That's also a place where you can actually feel the

1664
04:24:08.680 --> 04:24:23.959
healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into

1665
04:24:24.079 --> 04:24:34.040
your body, and that healing energy spreads through your veins,

1666
04:24:37.840 --> 04:24:44.680
traveling to each and every single part of your body,

1667
04:24:50.600 --> 04:24:55.200
and you start to realize that actually that healing energy,

1668
04:24:57.680 --> 04:25:04.079
it's not just entered into your brain, it's become part

1669
04:25:04.639 --> 04:25:15.879
of your brain, and that spinal fluid is now mixed

1670
04:25:16.000 --> 04:25:27.120
with healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so

1671
04:25:27.399 --> 04:25:39.239
much more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but also

1672
04:25:42.200 --> 04:25:49.719
you start to realize to actually what's happening now with

1673
04:25:49.879 --> 04:25:59.520
that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body, it's actually

1674
04:26:00.040 --> 04:26:10.159
changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're going

1675
04:26:10.239 --> 04:26:17.040
to feel, not just now, but tomorrow and the next day.

1676
04:26:18.959 --> 04:26:26.399
There's your health improves, not just your physical health, but

1677
04:26:26.559 --> 04:26:33.959
your mental health. Things that used to bother you in

1678
04:26:34.079 --> 04:26:41.639
the past, for some reason, no longer have the effect

1679
04:26:42.159 --> 04:26:51.079
that they used to because something has changed deep within you.

1680
04:26:56.159 --> 04:27:02.559
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1681
04:27:06.399 --> 04:27:16.520
no longer have that power to control you the way

1682
04:27:16.600 --> 04:27:24.600
they seem to be able to before. As you realize

1683
04:27:25.639 --> 04:27:38.040
that you're the one who decides what affects you, you're

1684
04:27:38.559 --> 04:27:47.000
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm.

1685
04:27:48.239 --> 04:27:50.360
When you choose.

1686
04:27:53.639 --> 04:28:08.120
To enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing continuing to

1687
04:28:08.319 --> 04:28:22.719
grow and improve your life day by day, including of course,

1688
04:28:22.799 --> 04:28:35.559
your ability to relax so much easier and sleep in.

1689
04:28:40.159 --> 04:28:45.840
It's the most natural thing in the world to you,

1690
04:28:50.360 --> 04:28:58.559
because falling asleep is something that you've done so many times.

1691
04:28:59.840 --> 04:29:05.479
In your life, and you know that you were born,

1692
04:29:07.000 --> 04:29:08.760
as we all were, with.

1693
04:29:09.360 --> 04:29:20.559
The ability to fall asleep naturally. We're born with that

1694
04:29:21.399 --> 04:29:32.959
ability to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep.

1695
04:29:38.920 --> 04:29:43.719
Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep and we

1696
04:29:43.799 --> 04:29:48.360
don't even want to try and tell you stay awake.

1697
04:29:49.760 --> 04:29:53.200
Maybe it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas

1698
04:29:53.399 --> 04:29:56.280
or holiday or something we look forward to.

1699
04:29:56.879 --> 04:29:58.079
We don't want to go to sleep.

1700
04:30:00.319 --> 04:30:05.319
But the more you want to stay awake, the more

1701
04:30:05.520 --> 04:30:13.840
we just start to drift. And the more you fight drifting,

1702
04:30:14.520 --> 04:30:16.879
the more you try to stop yourself and drift in

1703
04:30:16.959 --> 04:30:30.000
a safe the deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because

1704
04:30:30.040 --> 04:30:35.440
we're born not just with the need to relax deeply

1705
04:30:37.159 --> 04:30:47.040
and to naturally fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's

1706
04:30:47.120 --> 04:30:57.639
part of our DNA, and sometimes as we get older

1707
04:30:57.719 --> 04:31:11.200
in life, perhaps at times we have forgotten that relaxing completely.

1708
04:31:12.959 --> 04:31:26.280
It's not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

1709
04:31:37.680 --> 04:31:45.159
It's very, very easy to let go, because that's all

1710
04:31:45.239 --> 04:31:46.159
it is. It's just.

1711
04:31:49.680 --> 04:32:01.120
Deciding to let go. And when you press the play

1712
04:32:01.239 --> 04:32:09.399
button on my recordings, you have given permission.

1713
04:32:11.200 --> 04:32:14.399
For my voice to relax you.

1714
04:32:18.079 --> 04:32:21.639
When you press that play button, you have given me

1715
04:32:21.799 --> 04:32:33.520
permission for my words to effect you in a positive,

1716
04:32:36.959 --> 04:32:55.680
only a positive way, opening up your mind. Two useful

1717
04:32:57.239 --> 04:33:13.720
and healing suggestions that can have such an amazing effect

1718
04:33:16.520 --> 04:33:27.880
on how you feel right now, as well as those

1719
04:33:28.279 --> 04:33:37.799
changes that continue long after the recording ends, those changes

1720
04:33:38.639 --> 04:33:52.400
within you that continue to flourish and grow, transforming your

1721
04:33:52.520 --> 04:34:05.360
life in a positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move

1722
04:34:06.720 --> 04:34:12.000
forward in your life in the direction that you choose

1723
04:34:13.520 --> 04:34:29.680
for yourself. And this feeling, this feeling that you can

1724
04:34:29.840 --> 04:34:54.240
experience of safety, comfort, calmness, This feels so nice. It's

1725
04:34:54.400 --> 04:35:08.599
such a healthy place to be, and that positivity grows

1726
04:35:09.880 --> 04:35:27.479
within you each and every day. Moving forward, you're going

1727
04:35:27.560 --> 04:35:38.319
to find that you're more relaxed physically and in your

1728
04:35:38.439 --> 04:35:48.520
mind is more relaxed. And it's not that you're thinking slower.

1729
04:35:50.799 --> 04:35:54.400
It's just that your mind will be less locked up

1730
04:35:55.520 --> 04:36:08.799
with unnecessary negativity because from now on, your mind rejects negativity.

1731
04:36:12.840 --> 04:36:20.279
From now on, you're going to start noticing when negativity

1732
04:36:20.439 --> 04:36:34.840
arises and you can just say stop, stop, and that

1733
04:36:35.080 --> 04:36:54.000
negativity will turn around and leave you alone. Stop and

1734
04:36:54.200 --> 04:37:09.319
that negativity will disappear. And as you notice that you

1735
04:37:10.680 --> 04:37:23.880
feel way more relaxed than you probably expected, you can

1736
04:37:24.240 --> 04:37:33.840
now congratulate yourself because you're the person that has done this.

1737
04:37:35.560 --> 04:37:41.040
You are the one that has opened your mind up

1738
04:37:41.759 --> 04:37:49.959
to the simple facts. You can feel more relaxed in

1739
04:37:50.080 --> 04:37:50.919
your body.

1740
04:37:51.360 --> 04:37:52.240
And in your mind.

1741
04:37:58.479 --> 04:38:00.200
You've opened your mind.

1742
04:38:00.279 --> 04:38:00.639
Up to.

1743
04:38:02.959 --> 04:38:09.520
The birthright of being able to just fall asleep easily

1744
04:38:10.599 --> 04:38:22.680
when you choose. And that's a nice feeling.

1745
04:38:24.319 --> 04:38:25.040
Don't you think.

1746
04:38:27.560 --> 04:38:28.400
It feels nice?

1747
04:38:28.520 --> 04:38:28.880
Doesn't it?

1748
04:38:32.000 --> 04:38:34.759
To feel calm.

1749
04:38:36.040 --> 04:38:40.680
Full, That healing energy is spreading through your body in

1750
04:38:40.799 --> 04:38:56.799
your mind to spend time a special place where negativity

1751
04:38:58.319 --> 04:39:11.200
can no longer enter. Negativity is bad, It's bad, it's

1752
04:39:11.319 --> 04:39:18.439
not allowed. Intrigue doesn't doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here.

1753
04:39:18.799 --> 04:39:27.919
It doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place in your life,

1754
04:39:37.919 --> 04:39:47.400
which makes room for more comfort, more healing, more relaxation,

1755
04:39:52.279 --> 04:40:11.439
more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it?

1756
04:40:13.279 --> 04:40:17.479
Just to let go.

1757
04:40:21.159 --> 04:40:21.759
Everything.

1758
04:40:35.400 --> 04:40:37.319
I'm gonna count down now.

1759
04:40:37.400 --> 04:40:45.599
From twenty down to one. You can continue to relax

1760
04:40:47.799 --> 04:40:48.799
if you choose.

1761
04:40:49.119 --> 04:40:49.919
You can.

1762
04:40:52.880 --> 04:41:00.159
Career to sleep with every number.

1763
04:41:02.400 --> 04:41:11.119
You hear me say, you can fill twice as relaxed,

1764
04:41:14.240 --> 04:41:18.880
or you cheese you can feel twice a sleeping.

1765
04:41:25.240 --> 04:41:25.439
Now.

1766
04:41:30.880 --> 04:43:30.959
Twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixte fifteen, fourteen, thirteen to eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six.

1767
04:43:39.080 --> 04:43:46.639
Five war.

1768
04:44:00.240 --> 04:44:21.360
Yeah, it's your time.

1769
04:44:23.880 --> 04:44:30.599
To just take a break, your time to.

1770
04:44:33.439 --> 04:44:51.080
Relax, to allow your mind to slow down, to give yourself.

1771
04:44:50.680 --> 04:44:57.720
Permission to take a break.

1772
04:45:02.400 --> 04:45:11.439
From everything. And you're the only person that can make

1773
04:45:11.599 --> 04:45:17.639
that decision. You're the only person that can actually tell

1774
04:45:17.680 --> 04:45:32.799
your mind just relaxs, to just.

1775
04:45:36.439 --> 04:45:37.720
Take some time.

1776
04:45:39.400 --> 04:45:51.279
Off so that you can focus on your body, getting

1777
04:45:51.680 --> 04:45:54.880
in touch with how you feel.

1778
04:45:56.240 --> 04:46:07.200
Physically, and in the process of.

1779
04:46:10.040 --> 04:46:14.759
This body scan where you focus on different parts of

1780
04:46:14.840 --> 04:46:25.680
your body, those parts that you focus on and observe.

1781
04:46:28.599 --> 04:46:34.400
Even though you're not purposely requesting.

1782
04:46:35.919 --> 04:46:37.000
For those parts of.

1783
04:46:37.040 --> 04:46:44.560
Your body to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect

1784
04:46:45.919 --> 04:46:53.560
when you listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally,

1785
04:46:59.119 --> 04:47:07.520

It's actually.

1789

Calms your mind. And when you wind calms down, the body.

And when your body calms down, your mind.
