00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:08.480
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason

2
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.759
Newland and this is let me bore you to sleep.

3
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.160
Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

4
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.399
Big thank you to Marry for your very kind PayPal gift.

5
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:34.759
And until this very moment, I didn't realize quite how

6
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:42.280
I sounded. And if you're wondering why I sound like this,

7
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:48.200
it's because I have COVID. Yes I do. I have COVID.

8
00:00:52.560 --> 00:01:03.079
So I'm just gonna kind of update you on what's

9
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.560
been going on the last few days. That's it. There's

10
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.879
no Q and a Friday from yesterday. The last time

11
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.480
I did a recording I think was on Tuesday. It's

12
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:29.599
now Saturday. And unless it was Monday, I don't know

13
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:36.719
Monday or Tuesday. So yeah, now it's Saturday. There's a few,

14
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:48.359
a few weird things happened this week. Oh man, it's weird.

15
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:54.159
Never had COVID before. It's not the novelty I thought

16
00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:02.319
it would be. Look what it's enjoyable. Blimey. So what happened? Okay?

17
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:08.639
So what have we started off? Monday? Tuesday? Fine? Now

18
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:14.080
I knew that I was getting tired, you know, I

19
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.520
pretty much nearly completed five weeks of going backwards and

20
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:25.400
forwards to the hospital to see uncle's sausages. So nearly

21
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.840
five weeks, and I knew that it was getting to

22
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:32.919
me stress wise. It was really pushing me, you know,

23
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.319
I was I had to push myself to do it,

24
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.280
and I really felt it on Monday. I felt it

25
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.840
on Friday last week also because it took like nearly

26
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.280
three hours to get home because the buses some problem

27
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.199
on the buses, So Friday was hard. And then Monday

28
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.560
again it was difficult to sort of get the effort

29
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:04.639
to go. But I did came home Tuesday, was at home,

30
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:17.919
did some laundry, woke up Wednesday. Ye kind of normal,

31
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:20.639
a little bit, you know.

32
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.159
Yeah.

33
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:34.360
Yeah, I'd about half four or five and I had

34
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:42.560
my breakfast and then I listened to it. I think

35
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:51.479
it was a YouTube orchestra video, you know, the top

36
00:03:52.639 --> 00:04:01.280
some of the top whatever you want to call them,

37
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:12.719
classical music songs something like that, And because I felt tired,

38
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.360
and I've been listening to those for a while now,

39
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:25.199
just helps me relax. I like classical music. Well, on

40
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.279
this occasion, this is Wednesday morning, I didn't feel better

41
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:36.439
having listened. I felt a little bit weird. Not weird

42
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:44.120
as in how normally am, but just weird, a bit off.

43
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.319
But I knew that I needed to go to the

44
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:57.279
hospital for another journey and go and do another visit.

45
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:07.360
Now I had something to take up to Uncle, sausages,

46
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.399
which was a package that had been delivered from his

47
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.560
from his friend in another country, so I was going

48
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:20.279
to take that up to him, and also I had

49
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:25.240
the bag of sugars to take up to him as well.

50
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.839
So I get ready to go, and I don't feel

51
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:38.560
I didn't feel particularly good. I didn't really know what

52
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.720
well what I thought it was, to be honest, I

53
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.319
thought it was just a stress. When I say just

54
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:49.879
a stress, I mean I've been ill before with stress,

55
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:57.439
like really ill physically. And I thought, oh no, I

56
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.240
thought I'd hit breaking I thought I'd hit breaking point.

57
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.279
I was worried then. And then so I went dropped

58
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.759
Vinnie off with a neighbor because he was going to

59
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:13.399
stay there for the morning. When it got on the bus,

60
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.199
and from then on things started to go downhill, and I,

61
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.879
oh no, I really thought I would. I was kind

62
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.399
of I thought I said the word I thought a

63
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:34.800
lot of I kind of figured that I pushed myself

64
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:41.680
too far and I'm not really taking care of myself

65
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:49.040
over the last five weeks. And then you know, he's

66
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.800
kind of just hit me. That's what I thought was

67
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:57.519
going on. But I managed to get to the hospital.

68
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:07.680
Two buses. I go into the hospital, get to his ward.

69
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:13.839
When I get there, he's asleep. I was so relieved,

70
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.800
so I put the stuff on his table. I don't

71
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.120
want to wake him up, because last time I saw him,

72
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.959
he was saying that all he wanted to do is sleep,

73
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:28.040
So I thought, I'm not waking him up. And at

74
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:32.920
this point, I was feeling so ill that I wanted

75
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.759
to get out of there, so I did. I had

76
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:42.120
no not one particle of me thought it was COVID

77
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:47.639
at all. I really didn't. It didn't even enter my

78
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.560
mind that it would be COVID because I never had COVID.

79
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.800
I didn't get it when it was rife. Why have

80
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:59.519
I suddenly getting it when it's hardly about anymore. I mean,

81
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.360
it's a bad out still, but it's not, you know,

82
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:07.360
like it was. But I've actually been around people that

83
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:14.240
had COVID and I still didn't catch it. But then

84
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:21.279
going in and out of hospital this just is thousands

85
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.199
of people that are unwell, isn't there and just I

86
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:29.399
guess it's a bit of a breeding ground. And so

87
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:34.919
I get out of there. I said, I speak to

88
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.000
the nurse and I said, look, he's asleep. Can you

89
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:42.279
let him know that I visited, please, And I'm going now.

90
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.159
I didn't say anything about it. I didn't feel well.

91
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.440
I just got out of there. I didn't spend any

92
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.720
time with anybody. I didn't think I needed to do that.

93
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.279
It's not because I thought, oh, don't want to spread

94
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.039
my germs to anyone, because I didn't think I had

95
00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:00.440
any germs. It really did feel like I was about

96
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.399
to have a like a breakdown, like like I was

97
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:10.960
going to have an emotional crumble or whatever. So I

98
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.159
get on the bus back and I'm starting to get palpitations.

99
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.840
Oh yeah, I had a panic attack on the way,

100
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.200
I said, I forgot about that. I had a panic

101
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.000
attack on the bus on the way to the hospital,

102
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:30.960
So that was like oh. And then on the way

103
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.639
back from the hospital, I'm getting pains in my chest

104
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.480
and I'm thinking I'm traveling in the wrong direction and

105
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.679
I should have stayed in the hospital. I'm moving away

106
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.360
from the hospital. That's where I should be, you know.

107
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:52.399
But I just thought, no, it's just stress, you know.

108
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.759
I mean, this probably isn't the most relaxed recording, so

109
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.120
perhaps don't listen to this to go to sleep. Maybe.

110
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.879
I don't know. I just thought i'd to update you

111
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.519
on what's going on. Things will be back to normal soon.

112
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.120
But I've been to the A and E at least twice,

113
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.480
maybe three times in the past with pains in my

114
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:20.720
chest and it was a panic attack, so you know,

115
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:23.799
it's not that I should ignore it because of that,

116
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:28.600
but just still, I don't know. I just thought, well,

117
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.039
I'd take it. Something really weird was happening though. I

118
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:39.360
couldn't stop yawning. I could not stop yawning. I'm talking

119
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.879
like to the extent that the bus. People on the

120
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:53.799
bus kept looking back at me. It was almost like

121
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:58.919
an exaggerated yawn. It was a real yawn, but it

122
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.360
seemed to be exaggerate rating itself. And my muscles in

123
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:09.200
my back were I don't know how to what the

124
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.679
word is, but they were sticking. They were kind of

125
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.399
something was going wrong. It was everything, you know. So

126
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:27.080
I was yawned and my and the muscles were contracting

127
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.080
my back and they weren't going back. They were kind

128
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:36.279
of everything was weird, the muscles in my back anyway,

129
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:42.600
my upper back. I could not figure out what that

130
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.039
was going on. What what you know. I was doing

131
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.399
some relaxing exercises for my muscles, and I've got a

132
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.759
few things I can do from the past. I know

133
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:58.080
how to relax and stuff. But ultimately I was really

134
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:05.679
really not not feeling it. Feeling oh really really. So

135
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.799
in the end, I get home. I didn't sit next

136
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.679
to anyone. It's very quiet buss because where I was going,

137
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.679
you know, the time I was traveling in not really

138
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.360
much about and so at least I know I haven't

139
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.720
spread it to anyone. It was quite on the way there,

140
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:27.320
quite on the way back. There's a chance I could

141
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.919
have spread it to someone in the ward, you know,

142
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:40.480
but it would be accidental. So I get back, I

143
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:44.080
walk across the field, across the park to get home.

144
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:48.120
It seemed like it took me an hour to walk

145
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:53.279
to walk a five minute journey. It's like it was.

146
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.120
Weird, man, it was really weird.

147
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.759
I pick up video and I said I need to

148
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.519
take him and I said, he all right, I said no,

149
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:05.840
I don't know what's just I still at this point

150
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:13.919
figured it was just stress. My stomach, my chest, and

151
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:17.639
my head was starting to hurt a bit, so it's

152
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.639
just stress. I just needed to go to sleep. It

153
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.759
was a yawning. That's the weird thing. I was just yawning.

154
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:32.080
I I, ah, we ordered now, and it's it's just fine.

155
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.720
But on Wednesday, the yawn was like three times bigger.

156
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.639
It was like it was forcing my mouth to open.

157
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:48.559
But my mouth doesn't open very wide. My jaws kind

158
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.039
of it's not I it's locked or whatever, but it

159
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:58.240
doesn't open very wide my mouth, So I I don't

160
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:08.120
know why that's funny. It was very uncomfortable. So then

161
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:13.519
I grabed Vinnie, take him back home, or you know,

162
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:21.480
bring him home. I probably got some breakfast cereal because

163
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.159
I was hungry. I had a little bit of that,

164
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.399
and then I went to bed. And I was in

165
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:34.720
bed all day from midday Wednesday, all day, all night,

166
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:41.000
all day Thursday, all night Thursday, all day Friday, all

167
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.799
night Friday, and out Saturday. So I did get up

168
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.840
occasionally go to toilet as somebody to eat. Still had to

169
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.919
take this little one out. So I managed to take

170
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.200
him out twice a day, once in the morning, once

171
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.799
in the evening. He hasn't had much of a fun time,

172
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.639
to be honest. They've just been sleeping with me. But

173
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.759
and you know it's there's I'm limited to what I

174
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:12.080
can do with him really. But we went out about

175
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:16.759
half four this morning and it was actually light, so

176
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.399
it's caught quite nice. It was just about light enough

177
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:26.399
and we just spent some time in the park just slowly.

178
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.360
He was sniffing the grass and he was he was

179
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:33.120
happy to do that. There's no rush. We're probably out

180
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.840
for about half an hour or so. There's no one around,

181
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:41.000
so that was good. And we'll go out again tonight.

182
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:44.440
If he needs a toilet, I can always take him

183
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:59.279
into the what's it the garden if he needs a weeist.

184
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:06.399
On Wednesday, I had to fell at this headache. It

185
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:12.759
was hard. It was it was like wow. And then

186
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:23.799
on Thursday, I I was getting up and my legs

187
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.720
were given way. Now, my ankles were weak, my knees

188
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.159
were weak. That's a song, isn't it. I think there's

189
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:35.919
some lyrics. My knees a week, my ankle's a week,

190
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:47.320
and I muscle fatigue aching must all that stuff, which

191
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.279
is basically flew, isn't it, I guess, But I can't

192
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.879
remember the last time that my ankles gave way. I'm

193
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.000
not quite strong legs, and most people haven't. They to

194
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:00.679
hold the body, the legs have to be quite strong,

195
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:07.640
especially all my fat. So my ankles were literally giving

196
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.559
way as I was trying to walk to the path

197
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:15.759
for him. And it was weird. I was a little

198
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:19.599
bit worrying, but weird. I mean it might also be

199
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.960
the fact that I'd spent a lot of hours just

200
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:27.839
lying down, so that probably wasn't particularly great for me.

201
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.440
Got through a lot of water. I didn't have any

202
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:39.119
tea for two days, any cups of tea, just water.

203
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.000
I'm back and drinking tea game, but not huge amounts,

204
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:47.200
just a couple of couple of cups a day, and water.

205
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:59.440
And I I don't why. I mentioning that there was

206
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:06.160
a reason my brain's not working. He said, normal day then, yeah,

207
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:11.440
oh so Monday, yeah, Wednesday, Thursday, that was the worst

208
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:16.400
of it, seriously worst of it. Thursday, I ordered a

209
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:22.920
are you only reason? Uncle Alex? Uncle sausages, sorry, Uncle

210
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:31.240
sausages his friend Auntie. I forget I forget what I

211
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:35.559
called her now. Anyway, his friend said she was visited

212
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:41.279
him and she said she was unwell, and she said

213
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:47.039
maybe it's COVID to me, like she texted me, said

214
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:52.559
maybe it's COVID. I said, I didn't even consider it genuinely.

215
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:57.400
I mean, I'm not always the quickest, the quickest person,

216
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.079
but I didn't didn't think I did, just didn't consider

217
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:13.200
that it might be COVID at all. And I thought, oh,

218
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:17.880
shut up, it's not COVID. Why would it be COVID.

219
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.160
I've not been around anyone sneezing or coffeing, or I've

220
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.279
not kissed anybody for years. BlimE me. Thanks for I'm

221
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:39.200
glad I've mentioned that in public. But she said, well,

222
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:41.519
you know, she said I'm going to do a test

223
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.480
because she was also well, and she's been up there.

224
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:46.440
I think the last time she was up there was

225
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:51.920
Saturday night, or she might have been Sunday night. So

226
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.000
she said she was also unwell and she was going

227
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:58.640
to do a COVID test. So I thought fair enough.

228
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.119
So this is Thursday, we texted each other. I sent

229
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.720
off to Amazon for a COVID test. I got a

230
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:09.720
few of them, actually, and they arrived, I paid for

231
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:20.119
it to be here by eleven o'clock, and I then

232
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:29.359
when I woke up Friday, which was yesterday, I actually

233
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.599
felt a lot better. The only difference is I had

234
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.720
a sore thrope now, which I didn't have so much before.

235
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:43.359
And I haven't had much coffin, which is good. That's

236
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:47.279
one of the things I've kind of had problems with

237
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:52.119
over the years when it comes to I've just had

238
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:56.640
a lot of chest infections in my life. But fortunately

239
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.319
there's been a bit of coffin, but not a lot,

240
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:05.720
and just some normal kind of fluy stuff, you know,

241
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:10.720
general stuff, but not too much coffin. But I had

242
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:15.240
a very sore throat on Friday Thursday to into Friday,

243
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:22.440
still sore, but it's not as sore today because I've

244
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.079
got the COVID test comes I do the test and

245
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:31.920
it comes out as being positive. It's like, really, because

246
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:34.039
I've done a lot of those tests in the past,

247
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.640
like lots of them back in the day as it were,

248
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:44.640
over like a two year period. Do you remember that. Wow,

249
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:49.640
It's like every single time either I had a little

250
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:54.519
bit of a sneeze, i'd do a test, or someone

251
00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:58.880
else had got COVID then I'd have to go and test.

252
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.640
You know. It's like constant always always came up clean

253
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:10.559
until now it's the first time ever. So I mean,

254
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:12.119
I was kind of due to have a bit of

255
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:15.960
illness because I haven't had anything physical stuff for three

256
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:21.079
years apart from the odd day cold, you know, other

257
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:27.200
than that has it. So it's I guess I was

258
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:29.559
due to have a little bit of a because it's

259
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:34.079
kind of like a detoxification, isn't it. Sometimes it feels like,

260
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:38.880
you know, when when I've got flu or cold, it's

261
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.000
just all the toxin is built up and now they're

262
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:50.319
kind of being released in the mucus. In the mucus.

263
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:55.279
What a weird word, mucuses. But yeah, it's kind of

264
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:59.839
been released mainly through sweat, to be honest with you. Wow,

265
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.960
perhaps I should turn the heating off. So it was

266
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.880
a lot easier to deal with this during the summer.

267
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:18.880
Though during in the winter, I just yeah, what other things. So, yeah,

268
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:24.599
it came up positive on the test. So I had

269
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:29.400
to make a few phone calls and I phoned up

270
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:35.680
Uncle's Sausages hospital ward and I spoke to the woman

271
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:40.759
who actually I saw on the Wednesday because they kind

272
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:43.880
of got to know me now because I'm up there

273
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:49.480
so often. And I explained to her, Look, I had

274
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:54.599
no idea I had COVID, just literally, you know, ten

275
00:23:54.599 --> 00:24:00.319
minutes ago, got the results, did the test that You're

276
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:02.319
the first person I'm telling because I was on your

277
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:06.440
ward on Wednesday, and there's chances is I could I

278
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.559
could have brought it into the ward. And she said,

279
00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:13.240
thanks for letting us know, and she'll just test everyone,

280
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.680
get everyone tested. I mean, there's no I'm not I

281
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:23.480
think it's I would say, I would say at least

282
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:26.599
it's a very high percentage that I caught it in

283
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:34.720
the hospital, bearing in mind I don't. I mean, there's

284
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.480
a chance I could have caught it whilst traveling to

285
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.440
the hospital and back from the hospital. That's the only

286
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:47.240
two places. Really. I haven't had contact with anyone else.

287
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:55.160
No one's been in my flat recently. No one's Yeah,

288
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:59.440
so I think it must be. Oh, by the way,

289
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.680
Uncle Sausage's friend, the other one one that's mentioned COVID,

290
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:11.400
she came clean, so she didn't have COVID. So luckily

291
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.440
she mentioned that, otherwise I wouldn't have had a test.

292
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:16.680
I'll just put it down to just having a cold.

293
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:22.200
Once the symptoms started, like really kicked in, I realized

294
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:28.000
that it was flu or you know whatever. Like it was.

295
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:35.559
It wasn't just stress. I mean the chances maybe the

296
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:39.759
stress has reduced my immune system or made it a

297
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:46.160
little bit more fragile. I don't know, but yeah, so

298
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:50.359
that's where I am. So few weird things have happened

299
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:57.480
yesterday right because Uncle sausages. All he said to me

300
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:01.359
is why can't I go and visit him? And I said,

301
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:06.279
I can't because i'm ill. I'm not allowed to visit

302
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:10.480
when i'm like this. It's against the law actually, And

303
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:12.039
he said, no, you can come in. I need to

304
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:18.279
get some drinks. So he wasn't really listening to me,

305
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.680
if you know what I mean. So I don't know

306
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.920
if he's taking it personally that I'm not visited it.

307
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:28.559
I'm not visiting him because I don't want to. It's

308
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:32.640
which isn't the case. It's because I can't. I can't

309
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.680
physically visit him anyway. Even if I was allowed, I

310
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:40.200
couldn't because I'm not up to it. But once I'm better,

311
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:43.519
I still have to leave it a few more days.

312
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:50.519
According to there's some rules, the NHS rules when it

313
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:54.920
comes to going into hospitals, you know, I mean there's

314
00:26:54.920 --> 00:27:00.000
people in there that immune systems practically zero, So getting

315
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:05.720
cod could be catastrophic. And I'm not going to nowhere

316
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:07.279
in the world am I going to risk that for

317
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:10.680
someone else just so I can go in and visit

318
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:17.119
someone to taken some drinks. And besides, he's also at

319
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:21.440
risk because his immune system is probably really really low

320
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:30.319
due to his extremely serious condition. So it could if

321
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:32.920
I'd have actually sat in there with him on Wednesday

322
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:38.440
and spend an hour sitting on his bed talking to him,

323
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:42.640
that could have been him. That could have That could

324
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:45.599
have been the end of him. I'm not being dramatic.

325
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.000
I mean it was literally could have if you'd have

326
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.599
caught this off me. I don't know if he'd survive

327
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.759
it because of how ill he is, and that destroyed me.

328
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.160
That would be just so yeah, I know, I'm you're

329
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:05.039
all serious. I should stop being serious, but sometimes sometimes

330
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:14.359
I can't. Just this is how it is. So the

331
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.880
yesterday because Uncle Sausages kept going on and on about oh,

332
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:21.880
I need some drinks. I havn't had any drinks for

333
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.880
three days. All I'm drinking is water like, okay, well

334
00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:30.960
that's what I choose to drink. But you know, I

335
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:35.400
understand he's bored. It's so boring in there, and he

336
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:37.960
wants to drink some drink. You know, he likes his

337
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:42.920
fizzy drinks and stuff. But I can't go in there.

338
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:48.119
So I did, Oh man, I can't even believe you

339
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.640
know what I did. Went onto the Uber eats app

340
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.599
ordered a bunch of drinks, you know, just juice, drinks,

341
00:28:58.519 --> 00:29:04.319
fenta and stuff like that, to be delivered to his ward.

342
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.720
I put instructions on there, please deliver to Uncle's sausages

343
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:12.640
on this ward, and I said I'll pay an extra

344
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:15.960
ten pound tip on top if you delivered to the ward.

345
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:22.759
Everything like that, And when it went through, I just

346
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:24.880
tried to call a bloke the delivery, just to make

347
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:27.720
sure you read it, because I don't know if they can,

348
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:31.039
if they're able to read English or not. I just

349
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:34.880
I mean, it's a lot of the people that deliver

350
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:39.799
English is their second language. I can't speak another language,

351
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.799
don't mind read another language, so I just want to

352
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.000
be able to explain it verbally. In the end, he

353
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:50.960
did call me when he was at the hospital and

354
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:55.200
he said, I'm not taking it to the ward. I said, well,

355
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:59.440
that's the whole point. He said, no, there's too much stuff.

356
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:03.519
I'm not taking it to the ward. I said, well,

357
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.799
i'll give you a tip. I'll double the tip. Said nope,

358
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.880
and he said, I can just leave it here in

359
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.839
the car park, put it on the floor, take a photograph,

360
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:26.559
and just leave it if I want. And well, he

361
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:28.039
told me he was going to take it back to

362
00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:33.079
the to the shop, to the supermarket. But then I

363
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:40.880
received a picture of the bags on the floor with

364
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:48.400
delivered next to it. So he just put them on

365
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:54.240
the floor in the you know, basically near the entrance

366
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:58.039
to the hospital, put them on the floor, took a

367
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:05.119
photograph and just drove away. And he still got my

368
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:13.039
ten pound tip. And I paid for all those drinks,

369
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:23.880
and I was I couldn't believe that someone would do that.

370
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:30.680
I just when he knew that I wasn't there, he

371
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.200
knew that, I explained to him that I had COVID,

372
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.799
I was indoors. I couldn't leave the house. I was

373
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:40.359
delivering these drinks as someone that was terminally ill. I needed,

374
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:43.640
you know, just a bit of help. I'll pay for it,

375
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:47.519
but can you Nope, wasn't interested. He just said nope,

376
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:55.440
I'm not going to do it, and he just left

377
00:31:55.519 --> 00:32:03.759
the stuff on the floor. So I'm guessing a few

378
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:10.359
people that had a nice little drink he poos probably

379
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:14.960
shared them out amongst the staff, maybe the in the

380
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:17.400
the hospital, which is not a bad thing. Let them,

381
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:22.240
you know. But it had my name on it saying

382
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:26.839
no they know who bought them the drinks. Had my

383
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:31.119
telephone number on the thing. No one called me. You

384
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:33.480
thought someone, wouldn't you see something? They've got the name

385
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.319
telephone number. Let's just phone this person to see where

386
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.640
they are. Perhaps you'll let them know that their deliveries

387
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:44.759
just the the Uber eats Nobed has just left them

388
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:48.599
on the floor. Maybe phone him up and just see

389
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:50.720
if he, you know, if he wants to come and

390
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:58.960
get them. But no one contacted me. So that was

391
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.599
quite a bit of money as well. Actually I wasted

392
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:08.720
on that all because Uncle Sausages kept going on and

393
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.279
on and on and on and on and on about

394
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:16.640
wanting drinks. When can he come up? I can't, I'm unwell.

395
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.519
I just like kept going on and on audience or

396
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:31.960
anything he was interested in, and I actually went online

397
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.079
and checked that I could get deliveries to the ward

398
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.119
and they said I could not Uber Eats. I didn't

399
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:42.720
check them, but I just I don't know. I just

400
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:46.920
assumed that with the delivery services give them a good tip,

401
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:55.319
they'll make the extra effort. I was wrong, and so

402
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.279
I put a complaint into the app. Whether or not

403
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:03.680
they're even take any notice of it, never ever going

404
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:20.280
to use zuber eats ever again, and it's absolutely it's not.

405
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:24.000
I don't know. I can't even get there's a degree

406
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:27.800
of stupidity that I can't get my head around. And

407
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.800
I've made some I've done some really really dumb things

408
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:38.800
over the years, but that's I just I always I

409
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:41.599
think about it. I can I compare it with what

410
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:45.800
happened in the comedy club at Christmas one year when

411
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:53.960
the staff they we had these Christmas parties and people

412
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:57.519
would have their dinner's booked for a certain time. So

413
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.519
sometimes people I think we'd open it up. It open

414
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:04.639
at half five, half six, something like that, and then

415
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:09.719
they'd be served at seven, then half seven, eight half eight,

416
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:14.400
you know, those kind of different times, so everything's not

417
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:17.199
served at the same time because people a chance to

418
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:20.719
get in and you know, just it was quite well organized.

419
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.920
Well there was one table, and they were running late,

420
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:28.320
which is fair enough, so you know they're coming by

421
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:39.440
coach sometimes, you know, traffic jams things like that. This

422
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:43.480
is how dumb. I'm sorry, this is one of the

423
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:47.800
dumbest things I've ever seen in my life. And it

424
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:53.840
was ridiculous, it was pedantic, it was really really sad,

425
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:59.079
and I couldn't believe that the staff did it. The

426
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.400
customers hadn't turned up on time, so they put all

427
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:06.280
the dinners out on the table, an empty table, cooked

428
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:11.639
dinners on an empty table, and just left them there.

429
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:23.880
And I was just dumb struck by that. I've never

430
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:30.119
I've seen some really really stupid I done. I've probably done.

431
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:33.639
I've done probably worse, more stupid things than that in

432
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:37.920
my life, probably loads of times. But I've never viewed

433
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:44.639
it before. I've never seen someone else be that silly,

434
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:57.079
and I think it's that kind of level of absolute

435
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:05.159
yeah that now I remember going and saying, look, no,

436
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:10.599
I took the plates back into the kitchen, So this

437
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:15.960
is ridiculous, this is pathetic and put someone's dinner. They're

438
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:19.880
paying hundreds of pounds to be here to come tonight.

439
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.360
They're running late. It's not the end of the world,

440
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:26.599
you know, Just take the food back in. Don't put

441
00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:29.960
it out when they're not even at the table. It's

442
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.960
different if like maybe one person not turned up, perhaps

443
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:39.519
put their dinner out for them because they're on the way, perhaps,

444
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:44.360
But to put twenty I think there's like twenty five

445
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:49.280
plates of food all down this big long part of

446
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:55.320
the club, empty table. Because even if they get there now,

447
00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:57.960
you know, even able to get there, when they've still

448
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:01.239
got to kind of get their coats off, get some

449
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:03.960
drinks in, go to the toilet and all that stuff,

450
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:16.480
they're not ready to eat like straight away. And it's

451
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:20.719
just amazing. Although it was one vegetarian, remember that was

452
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:24.519
this is a weird one. She uh was angry because

453
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:28.800
she hadn't eaten her Basically, I haven't eaten meat for

454
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:34.280
eighteen years, and now you've given me turkey. They said, well,

455
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:38.239
why did you eat it if you knew it was turkey?

456
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:45.599
She still ate it. She ate the whole meal. I

457
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.840
haven't eaten meat for like, but why did you You don't?

458
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.719
You don't eat it deer if it's if it's something

459
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:57.800
you don't want to eat you don't eat it. It's like,

460
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:04.320
come on, I was a vegetarian for about a year,

461
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:09.960
but I had something to eat. I didn't realize it

462
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:16.760
was meat. What was it salami? I didn't know salami

463
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:27.719
was meat salami and cheese baget or something. It's like, oh, oh, well.

464
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:36.599
So there's definitely been a few little learning experiences this week.

465
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:46.559
One is I can't it's hard to get see. I

466
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:49.559
didn't want Uncle Sausages to feel sorry for me because

467
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:51.840
I had because I was ill. I didn't want that.

468
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:55.639
I didn't want anyone to. I don't care. But I

469
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.000
know that, you know, he's not. He's in a situation

470
00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:01.960
where whatever's going on with me is nothing compared to

471
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:04.880
what's going on with him. I understand that. So I

472
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:10.960
wasn't after sympathy, just understanding that I'm not allowed to

473
00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:14.000
go into the hospital when i'm ill, and I'm too

474
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:20.400
ill also to do it. I'm also, you know, I

475
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:28.559
have feelings too, and all he wanted was the drinks.

476
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:33.400
So I tried to solve that situation. I really racked

477
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:40.480
my brains trying to think of a solution for his problem,

478
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:53.360
and I came unstuck and it cost me money and

479
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:59.000
and dignity. Maybe I don't know. It's a funny story,

480
00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:04.760
I suppose, isn't it. I'm never ever going to use

481
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:09.719
Uber eats. I'm not using any of those anymore, none

482
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:15.400
of those delivery services. I use Amazon. And also I've

483
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:20.480
got a few little grocery bits coming this morning order

484
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:29.239
this afternoon Amazon because they use Morrison's Supermarket, so I'm

485
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:31.920
going to get bits and bobs from there. Now, do me.

486
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:35.039
A good thing about that is they can just leave

487
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:39.159
on the doorstep and I don't have to answer the door.

488
00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:43.400
Because of Uber eats, it's all about answering the door.

489
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:46.800
They'll even want you to go down and help them,

490
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:57.239
which defeats the object of getting a delivery. Really. So yeah,

491
00:41:57.119 --> 00:42:06.119
when I'm sorted, I probably look into maybe I need

492
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:10.960
to find a delivery that delivers with bags and delivers

493
00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:13.679
where I don't have to see them, or they can

494
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:17.159
just leave them outside and that's it. Yeah, that would

495
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:23.239
be ideal. Yeah, so they can just deliver. I got

496
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:27.159
to deal with the deal with a person because at

497
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:30.079
the moment, there was a time. It wasn't long ago.

498
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:36.119
A few years ago, all supermarkets would deliver in carrier bags,

499
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:41.400
they'd be in crates, but the carrier bags would be

500
00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:43.960
in crates, and then you could just take the carrier

501
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:49.719
bag out and it's done. Keep the bags, they take

502
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:54.480
the crates, give them a big kiss, and they leave.

503
00:42:54.559 --> 00:43:02.079
They go away, and then they stopped that. So everything's

504
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:09.039
loose in the crates. So I have to spend time

505
00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:14.199
bending over continuously and putting stuff into bags, my own bags,

506
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:17.760
because that puts pressure on my back to do that,

507
00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:20.760
and also it means I have to spend talk to

508
00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:25.280
the person or be what they'll just watch me do it.

509
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:32.800
It's not an ideal situation. So when will you stop

510
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:36.360
moaning about everything? When will you.

511
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:40.760
Stop having a moaning time?

512
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:45.079
Yes, a bit moaning. My voice is so croaky at

513
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:51.920
the moment, it's like, oh, oh, my dear hello. I

514
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:59.360
watched Happy Gilmore this morning with my breakfast. I haven't

515
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:04.119
seen it for decades because the new Cappy Gilmore two's

516
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:10.480
out on Netflix for I'm going to watch the first one.

517
00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:19.519
And the weird thing about it is kind of big okay.

518
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:28.159
There was in the nineties. There was a few really

519
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:50.079
big comedy stars. When they're like, what's his name? Just

520
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:55.079
like some big okay movies that kind of represented. So

521
00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:58.559
Adam Sandler, he did quite a few movies in the

522
00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:02.079
nineties that was his period, wasn't it really? And then

523
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:09.199
you had what's his name, Ben Stiller? That was his

524
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:13.719
period as well, wasn't it I guess nineties two thousands.

525
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:20.079
And then of course Jim Carrey, who was i'd say

526
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:26.880
the king of the nineties comedy movie in the nineties,

527
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:31.320
So that there was all those, I would say the

528
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:34.280
nineties was a really how many more times can I

529
00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:37.440
say the nineties? It was a really good time for

530
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:49.800
comedy movies, I would argue. But then I was having

531
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:53.920
a conversation with a neighbor lives downstairs. She's twenty, and

532
00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:57.239
this is a couple of weeks ago, and I was

533
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:02.320
trying to tell her that there's some really great movies

534
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:05.119
from the past that she hasn't seen if she hasn't

535
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:09.800
seen them, and she they're really good worth watching. And

536
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:13.920
she said, oh, give me, give me a name of one,

537
00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:21.239
and I couldn't think of any. And what she did

538
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:26.239
ask was what's the picture quality like? And that's a

539
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:31.639
problem because the picture quality wasn't particularly good on any

540
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:40.840
movies really at the cinema but not on DVD or video.

541
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:49.519
Weren't great pictures even in the two thousands. Special effects,

542
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.440
what was it? The Matrix is probably the first time

543
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:57.159
special effects really well. I mean, I know special effects

544
00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:01.119
were good during Star Wars and Superman and back in

545
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:05.760
the early days compared to how they'd previously been, but

546
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:10.719
I would I'd say the Matrix was it was a

547
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:23.719
jump forward with the old special effects. And then I mean,

548
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:26.760
special effects are really good now, aren't they. They've been

549
00:47:26.800 --> 00:47:27.920
really good for a long time.

550
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:38.760
But yeah, yeah, So.

551
00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:45.280
That's it. Really, I just I got COVID.

552
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:45.960
That's it.

553
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:51.199
That's all. I'm really well. I just do do an update.

554
00:47:54.440 --> 00:48:08.000
I will upload this at some point today probably, yeah, probably,

555
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:19.159
and then then I don't know, then I go back.

556
00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:23.159
I'm probably going to go and get I might lay down,

557
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:26.880
have a little bit of sleep, or maybe just chill

558
00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:29.360
out here, because this has been the longest I've been

559
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:36.519
awake for days. I'm normally not up for one about

560
00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:40.119
half an hour, but I've actually been up since half

561
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:44.039
past four and it's now quarter to eight.

562
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:49.440
This so.

563
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:58.039
Yes, over three hours, which is pretty good because genuinely

564
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:00.440
it's the first I've not been up this long since

565
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:07.960
Wednesday morning, three hours in a row. I feel like

566
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:15.719
I can focus a bit now as well, which is nice.

567
00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:19.400
I don't know what I'm want to focus on, but

568
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:21.639
I feel like I can focus on summer.

569
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:27.000
Yeah, so.

570
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:36.840
I do believe that is it. That's my little super

571
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:45.199
interesting story. So thank you for listening. Remember to be

572
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:47.960
kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy

573
00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:51.239
and be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

574
00:49:52.559 --> 00:50:01.599
Lots of love, take care. Bye bye bye bye bye

575
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:07.960
bye bye bye bee boo boo boo. I'll do another

576
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:12.199
COVID test tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon, and if it

577
00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:18.239
comes up as positive again, I'll do another one on Tuesday,

578
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:24.639
and if it comes up positive, I'm going to have

579
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:26.519
to go and buy some more because I've already given

580
00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:29.800
one away. So I've got four tests. I've used one,

581
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:33.480
gave one to my neighbor downstairs because she had some

582
00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:36.679
contact with me the other day, so you want to

583
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:43.239
make sure that she's all right. And I got two more.

584
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:48.079
So unless I wait till Monday and do one on

585
00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:52.159
if it's not clear on Monday, maybe do another one

586
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:58.960
on the follow I don't know, Friday or Thursday, or something.

587
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:03.000
Give it a few days, yeah, but it should be

588
00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:13.000
should pretty much be clear. I reckon the the it's

589
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:19.360
feeling feeling so much better than I was, so that's good.

590
00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:27.559
So thank you for listening. Bye bye bye bye bye

591
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:29.679
bye bye bye bye baby baby.

592
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:31.760
Mm hmmm
