00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:09.359
Hello, Welcome to Jason Newland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:17.879
Jason Newland. This is why is this? Let me boy

3
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:27.920
to sleep Whisper Wednesday and Finnie. As soon as I

4
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.760
start doing his recording, he's up and a week he

5
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:39.240
was fast asleep about thirty seconds ago. I think he

6
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:45.359
just wants a bit of a cuddle, so to say

7
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:51.399
hello to everyone, A big special hello to Ben, who

8
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.280
is the only person I know that likes the Whisper

9
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:58.880
Wednesdays Wednesday Whisper whatever this is, I say, the only

10
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.799
person I know that likes and they do get listened

11
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.560
to by lots of people, but just you know, I

12
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.280
mean I know that. Hi, Ben, That's what I'm saying.

13
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:19.519
Is high Vinny solo to Ben, he said hi as well,

14
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.599
actually said no, I don't have to do what you

15
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:32.879
tell me. He's very rude. Such a days Wednesday fee.

16
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.560
I've got no one. Did they were the data is?

17
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:43.560
I think it's the eleventh of June twenty twenty five.

18
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.159
I was thinking about doing this recording, but I was

19
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:58.400
watching something on TV and then there was this massive

20
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:03.120
sound outside because I had the window open, and I

21
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.719
thought it's the lawn mower men just come in the lawn,

22
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:18.039
which means it's loud, but it doesn't last long. But

23
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.319
it seemed to be lasting a little bit longer than

24
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:31.280
normal because the communal garden air is very small. It

25
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.680
doesn't take more than probably five minutes for them to come.

26
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.479
And then they started. I started to hear a Revin

27
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.759
like where as my impression of a raven, and I

28
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.919
realized there was a motorbike over the fence, so I

29
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.840
had to close the window because it was way too loud.

30
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:06.199
But when as the window, the motorbikes stopped, and now

31
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:12.479
I can just hear loads of voices. So I'm going

32
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.240
to continue making this recording, even though literally as we speak,

33
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.560
I heard the persons trying to start the motorbike again.

34
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:36.919
It's just yeah, it's not it's very loud. It's very

35
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:45.479
very loud. I might just continue talking anyway, because you

36
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.599
may not have it might not be very loud on

37
00:03:47.639 --> 00:04:00.080
the microphone because he's literally outside over the fence and

38
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.240
you might not hear it, or it might be very faint.

39
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.520
I can hear it, well, I can't hear it now

40
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:15.400
because it's not it's not going. But anyway, oh yeah,

41
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:19.680
please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

42
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:27.959
It's times like this that I that I feel glad

43
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:37.680
that yesterday I actually made use of the day and

44
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:44.199
made some recordings. Because a day when there's a motorbike

45
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.439
being reved all day long, which has happened while for

46
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:55.560
a few hours anyway, it's I just find it distracted

47
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.480
to make a recording. I mean, I can't make any

48
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:08.879
kind of hypnosis and stuff like that. But yesterday added

49
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.680
to a couple of new recordings as well as the

50
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:22.040
Drivia Tuesday. Well this is Whisper Wednesday, Wednesday whispers Whisper Wednesday,

51
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:27.040
isn't it. I'm trying to trying to stick to the

52
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:39.800
routine of Monday's boring objects Drivia Tuesday, Whisper Wednesday, and

53
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.000
Q and A Friday. So that's fur four days when

54
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:52.319
it's like a regular type of recording. So I do try.

55
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:58.800
I am trying, not very hard, but very minimally giving

56
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:05.279
it a go oh yeah, ooh yeah. I found a

57
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.360
new way and some exercise. I can't using the word

58
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:18.519
exercise very flimsily, but took my little one out free

59
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:25.600
for a w A l K and I and he

60
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:31.759
started pulling me towards the bridge. So I got this

61
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:36.519
railway bridge and it's not even really used. I think

62
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.560
it was originally built because they were going to be

63
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.680
building a railway station there, and they never built the

64
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:46.079
railway station, but they put a brand new bridge in.

65
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.240
It's one of those really nice bridges. I say really

66
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.800
nice bridges. I mean you might not be into bridges,

67
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:58.720
but it's like metal and the steps coming up also

68
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.040
a big cramp as way, so you fut on a

69
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:10.319
bike or in a wheelchair you can get access. And

70
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.839
it's a big, old, big old bridge. And for some

71
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.040
reason Venue was trying to take me. I just wanted

72
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.399
to take me away from I think what it is.

73
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:29.319
He gets bored being in the same little park every day.

74
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.079
He wants to go for a walk and explore other places.

75
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.519
So I just let him lead me the way. I

76
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.920
just sometimes I will do that. I'll just follow him,

77
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.959
or as my aunt friend Andre used to say, folly.

78
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:56.120
I used to follow him, follow folly. And he led

79
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:03.720
me to the the bridge and he started trying to

80
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:08.319
walk up the like the ramp bit and I pulled

81
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.600
him away and said no, And then he walked and

82
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.680
he tried to caup the steps. So I thought, well,

83
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:18.199
he clearly wants to go up here, so I just

84
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:26.160
followed him up the steps. He walked across the bridge,

85
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.759
and then I think we went down the ramp. No,

86
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:37.080
we went down the steps, and then he wanted to

87
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:45.120
walk further away, which would be leading us pretty much

88
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:56.759
to nowhere really, and I thought, no, but he clearly

89
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.399
wants to have a good walk, and I need a walk.

90
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.080
I need to I get out walking. But I don't.

91
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.279
I don't walk any kind of real distance, not really.

92
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.879
I don't think I get my ten thousand steps a day.

93
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.360
I get a few thousand, but I don't think ten thousand.

94
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:26.320
Maybe I do, but I doubt it. I've never counted them.

95
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.960
It's quite hard, though, isn't If you count your steps

96
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:34.360
and then another dog walker says, hello, what am I

97
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.840
supposed to do? Is that? Wait a second, let me

98
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.960
just write down the steps that I've done so far.

99
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:49.679
It's I think there's a catchy. You can get a

100
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:57.440
step counter. There used to be this thing that you

101
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:02.600
could use, which it basically it was like a wheel

102
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.960
and you put it on the ground and you walked

103
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.679
with it, pushing it, and it measured the distance that

104
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:19.440
you went. And I used to use. I used I

105
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.360
used to have one of them, and i'd use it

106
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.759
sometimes in London because I wanted to see how far

107
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:30.600
I walked on some very weird looks. But you can't, Yeah,

108
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:36.679
apparently there. I think the step omitter things is just

109
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:44.639
because you shake so literally. You could just, I don't know,

110
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.440
stand on one of those shaking machines and it looks

111
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.840
like you've walked for miles when in fact you haven't

112
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:59.240
done anything. Or you could bounce on a bouncy castle

113
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:09.600
or that would be exercised as well, wouldn't it. Yeah.

114
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:14.960
I wonder if it registers steps on the Moon. I

115
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:19.000
don't mean we're not walking, I mean somebody that was

116
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:26.200
on the moon. But then I suppose because it's so advanced,

117
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:32.720
isn't it, or the technology that they probably are registering

118
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:38.399
the distance that the astronauts are traveling anyway, and how

119
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:42.360
many steps they take. Plus they don't have to make

120
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:48.080
as many steps today because they're almost being pulled into space,

121
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.960
but the heavy boots keep them down, which I never understood.

122
00:11:54.840 --> 00:12:04.679
How heavy are those shoes? Wouldn't it make more sense

123
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.279
right because if the shoes are really really heavy, because

124
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.600
you mentioned if we didn't have any gravity on this planet,

125
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:18.879
we would just end up in the sky. How heavy

126
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.399
would we have to have How heavy would our shoes

127
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.559
have to be to keep us stuck to the ground.

128
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:35.799
Because I've seen movies where no gravity and things cars

129
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.639
are just being bowled up into the air because there's

130
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:45.639
no gravity. Okay, it's a movie. But if that's the case,

131
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:51.960
does that mean that the astronauts shoes, slippers or boots whatever,

132
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:58.879
boots I guess the astronauts boots well into boots are

133
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:05.679
heavier than a car. So if that's the case, then

134
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.960
that's gotta be part of the reason why it's so

135
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:18.159
hard to get into space, because it's not so much

136
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.840
getting through the atmosphere. The rocket is the weight of

137
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:30.000
those shoes, the astronauts' shoes. So when it makes sense

138
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:35.360
if they just add a little I don't know, on

139
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:41.799
the Moon or on the space station, a shoe cupard

140
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.639
or something where they can just leave the shoes there

141
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:52.480
so they could wear slippers or crocs going up and

142
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.000
then when they get there they can put on and

143
00:13:55.039 --> 00:14:03.960
slip into their astronaut wellies. They were really heavy, they

144
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.039
might end up using a lot less fuel, They might

145
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:15.840
get there quicker. I might have just solved a big issue.

146
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:24.639
See it's amazing what you can do, and you're not

147
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:30.799
even trying. That's the problem. But I bet you're not

148
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:41.240
one astronaut or not one astro physicist or the scientist

149
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.919
is listening to this, because if they were, this could

150
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:56.159
change the whole the whole landscape of space travel. In fact,

151
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.600
it could be the break needed that could bridge. Got

152
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:09.559
back to the talking about bridges, could bridge towards further

153
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:15.159
exploration because it'd be able to get in and out

154
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.279
of space a lot quicker. And they could just start

155
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.080
to store stuff in space, on the space station or

156
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:27.200
on the Moon and have that as a like a

157
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:31.480
fu a lock up, you know, like an old lock up,

158
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.480
just keep stairs, spare stuff in there. Well, they could

159
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:39.159
even open shops up really, but I guess that's more

160
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:48.240
for the future, like a shoe shop. And helmets. Do

161
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:53.120
they need their helmet on when they're traveling up again,

162
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:58.159
I'm not sure. I thought they container though in was pressurized,

163
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.600
which meant they'll be able to breathe. I might be wrong.

164
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:12.799
What they could do is fill you know, the airbags

165
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.320
that they have on their back, which gives the oxygen.

166
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:23.279
Why not fill them with oxygen, like thousands of them

167
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:28.919
and just keep taking them into space so that eventually

168
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:37.840
we have unlimited supply of oxygen up there. But I

169
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.200
don't know would that run out of the oxygen in

170
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:46.000
this world we kept filling. If you kept filling an

171
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:51.879
oxygen tank up from oxygen the air, and you did that,

172
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.799
you got millions and billions and millions of them with

173
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:00.200
the oxygen right now. And another thing, what is that

174
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:07.359
was the life or you know, the life span of oxygen?

175
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.640
Does he go off after a few years? Does he

176
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:18.519
go malty? Because I used to think that soup dense

177
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:29.200
soup lasts forever. I remember seeing these again. I'm not

178
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.839
sure if there were documentaries or if there were movies

179
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:36.039
or TV shows where people would be climbing up and

180
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:40.400
mountain and they get to a shack or some kind

181
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:47.960
of wooden the house and it'd be a cellar, or

182
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.400
it be like like we have lots of food and stuff,

183
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.039
but all tenned food, because bananas don't last long on

184
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:03.799
a mountain. It's but they go there and the last

185
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.079
time anyone was there was like one hundred years ago.

186
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:13.279
Because someone wrote in the book I was here one

187
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:19.799
hundred years ago or I don't know whatever, and they'd

188
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.359
open up the food in the tin and they'd eat

189
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:28.519
it and it'd be all y y yum yum. Mind you,

190
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.799
cat food would taste amazing if you hadn't eaten for

191
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:36.559
five days, wouldn't it. It would be the most delicious

192
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:42.039
thing you'd ever eat it. And it tastes even better

193
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.400
if you didn't know his cat food. So don't present

194
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:50.240
it in a cat food bowl. Probably not that you're

195
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:54.759
can present it. I mean, someone's hungry and you give

196
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.319
us some food and they haven't eaten for days, you're

197
00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:03.200
not gonna be worried about present day. I suppose you

198
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:05.839
just they'd probably be happy just to eat it out

199
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:13.880
of the tin. Well. I used to think the all

200
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:22.519
tins lasted like forever, I say forever, maybe not thousands

201
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.240
of years, but just a long long time because they

202
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:32.279
were air tight and they were built to last. Well,

203
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.960
let me tell you the tins are today are not

204
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:41.240
built to last. I had some tins of soup and

205
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:46.400
they were good ones like Hines. They weren't, you know,

206
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:50.480
they weren't like Little Iron Brand. Not that it's anything

207
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:55.559
wrong with Little Iron Brand. I'm just saying it was

208
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.960
Heines the most I would say, probably the most faith

209
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:08.359
aus soup maker in this country anyway. Heinz tomato soup,

210
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:15.319
and most people, even if they don't, I have soup.

211
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.759
I nearly said, eat soup. But soup is eating. It's drunk,

212
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.720
isn't it. Even if it's got vegetables in and stuff.

213
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:28.759
It's just lumpy water, lumpy flavored water. That's what it is.

214
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:35.880
It's not a meal at best, It's a starter's Did

215
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:37.559
I ever tell you about the date I went on

216
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:43.799
and she said would you like some lunch before we

217
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:48.200
go out? And I thought, oh yeah. She gave me

218
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:55.279
soup and one piece of bread. Was like, what am I?

219
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.480
Is this a day? Or is this my first stay

220
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.920
in prison? I mean, what, what the heck? I'm literally

221
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.640
I get a better fed in prison. That was what

222
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:13.759
was going on. Those are the days where my belly

223
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:20.519
didn't enjoy soup. I needed food. The same thing happened

224
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:25.960
when I visited my dad my step mom, and this

225
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:36.359
was bah I think it was December two thousand and eleven,

226
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:44.039
December two thousand and eleven, and I just wanted to

227
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.759
tell them because I'd just been diagnosed with bipolar, and

228
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.880
I wanted to tell them because it was I don't know,

229
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.000
it just seemed like the right thing to let them know.

230
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:58.319
I think when my dad, well maybe both of them

231
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:05.400
looked at each other like that explains it. But what

232
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:10.680
I remember about that meeting is with me in this restaurant,

233
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:18.480
cafe place, I had soup, soup. I had no money,

234
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:23.039
so I could they paid for the meal and they

235
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:29.319
had soup. In fact, I'm pretty short of conversations. Should

236
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:32.960
we just all had some soup. I'm like, I thought

237
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.119
they were joking soup. We could have done that at home.

238
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.400
I don't know why I'm focused on soup today. I

239
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:49.160
just I like soup. I'm not prejudiced against soup. I'm not,

240
00:22:50.839 --> 00:23:01.319
you know. I do like chicken soup, like cream cream

241
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:05.319
of chicken or I don't know, creamy, that's nice. I'm

242
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:11.480
not so beef broth now not so much vegetable soup. Okay,

243
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:21.680
tomato soup and ticks the boxes for me. But it's

244
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:27.319
not a meal. It's not a meal. Or they're thinking

245
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:30.000
about it. Maybe I'm going to start it's weird. It's

246
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.480
now start off moaning about soup. Now starting to think

247
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.640
I'd quite like a nice bowl of soup. What a

248
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:43.480
strange brain. I have a nice bowl of soup and

249
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:47.920
a few, maybe two or three slices of toast. It

250
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.279
seemed like a real yummy thing. But I don't ever

251
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:54.400
need I don't have any soup I did. That's what

252
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:58.720
I'm telling the story. I had some soup. I can't

253
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:03.519
ask the pointers. They're supposed to last a long time.

254
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:11.680
I went into the cupboard and next to the cooker

255
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.319
on the left hand side, underneath and don't go in

256
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:20.240
thatck cupboard really ever. And I went in there just

257
00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:26.039
to look what's in there, because of the golden tins

258
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.599
of soup boy in there. So I went to pick

259
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:35.839
one up and it was empty, while it also leaked,

260
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:44.640
so basically all the soup cans had disintegrated to the

261
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:51.200
point where the lids came off, the contents leaked out

262
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:55.559
and also disintegrated. There was no smell or anything. It's

263
00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:00.559
just it'd been there for maybe six years, seven years,

264
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:11.279
completely destroyed. And the ironic thing is, on that particular day,

265
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:18.599
really fenceed a bowl of soup. I remember thinking, I

266
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.559
don't I drink more soup. I really used to like soup,

267
00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:28.440
which I did. But I was a kid back then,

268
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.440
and I used to get soup whenever I was a

269
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:37.599
little bit bally. Maybe i'd go home from school or

270
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.160
maybe half the day off, and I remember sitting at

271
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.680
the table. My stepmom would be looking after me, and

272
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:51.160
she'd make me some soup and I'd watch Sesame Street

273
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:54.960
on television because see, I think Sesame Street used to

274
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:00.519
be on about midday and it was great. Couple of

275
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:06.880
bits of toast, a cup of tea as well. Though

276
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.559
that was a bit weird because it feels like you

277
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:16.039
have a liquid drink with solid food. It almost felt

278
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:18.519
like I should be heating some kind of solid drink,

279
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:28.920
maybe an icicle or something. I don't know. You can

280
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.359
only get solid drinks ken you, other than a slushy.

281
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:35.839
Maybe that's quite solid. I'm not sure that would fit

282
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:44.440
together with soup though, what hot soup? I suppose. I

283
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:47.720
feel a little bit nostalgic towards some of those times

284
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:53.599
because I got to spend time with my stepmm and

285
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:59.599
me and no one else. There was just nice, quite

286
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.680
a piece for no arguments, you know, And I'm just like,

287
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:09.640
I didn't miss soup. That is weird, how quickly soup

288
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:15.759
cools down, and you think like it can be like

289
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:20.119
super boiling hot, and you put the spoon in because

290
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:24.440
the spoon is metal, it conducts the heat. I think

291
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:27.680
that might be, you know, but the spoon's very hot

292
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:34.599
and you're not blowing on the spooner and then the

293
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:40.119
soups squirting off the spoon. Depends how hard you blow.

294
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.400
It is could just like spray over everyone else at

295
00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:47.000
the table, but or you make a little dent in

296
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:51.720
it and you almost like, in you mind, are you

297
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.680
I used to do these. I used to try because

298
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:57.599
I have a spoon and look at it. I'd fill

299
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.480
it with soap and don't try and blow it. So

300
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.960
they had parted in the middle a bit like Moses,

301
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:10.920
did you know? With the rid say and I just pretend,

302
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:16.039
you know, to hear music, pretend to hear music. Sometimes

303
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:24.759
I would hear music if music was being played. So yeah,

304
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:31.039
tomato soup or any kind of soup would be an

305
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:40.000
opportunity to reenact the Moses scene from the Bible. I'm

306
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.839
sure I'm not the only one that did that. So

307
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:51.559
that was pretty good special effects considering the movie was

308
00:28:55.480 --> 00:29:03.079
like the sixties. The Moses part in this see I

309
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:05.440
think I don't know if it was just the Bible,

310
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:10.039
was the movie there was another one, the greatest story

311
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:19.160
ever told. Maybe it was actually called Moses. But yeah,

312
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:26.400
that scene where they're walking across the sea and all

313
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.319
the sea, the sea wall, it's kind of just splashing,

314
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.799
but it's not. That's the weird thing about it. That's

315
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:41.839
the It didn't seem realistic in one sense, because if

316
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:46.160
you had the sea parted and you're walking down and

317
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:52.559
there's a bigger wall and both, you know there'd be

318
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:59.920
some splash back. When there not one splash, they just

319
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.160
water along knowing. You know, you'd think they'd be a

320
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.519
I mean, you wouldn't moan about a little a few splashes,

321
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:10.960
you know you won't get to the other side. And

322
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.519
Moses would be fitting pretty proud of themselves probably, and

323
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:19.400
everyone's saying, oh, well done, Moses, and one person says,

324
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:28.359
are actually my shoes are ruined. That's another thing, isn't it.

325
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:33.599
I have I have to clean my glasses because of

326
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:39.559
all the splash back from the water. When they walked across,

327
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:43.400
the ground was dry. Now the ground would be where

328
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:48.319
wouldn't it be muddy? I know it's just details. But

329
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:56.640
you know, maybe that's not the most unrealistic part of

330
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:05.039
the whole story. Maybe mm hmm. So we're walking over

331
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:11.680
this bridge, and I thought to myself, this is quite

332
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:23.200
a distance, really walking over, going down the steps, walking

333
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:28.240
all the way back the long ramp, back to the

334
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:36.319
bridge again, crossing over, walking down the steps, then walking

335
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.119
up then the other ramp on the other side, which

336
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.400
is like up one end and then back again. Says

337
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.599
I thought, you know, if I started doing that, maybe

338
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.519
did that ten times a day. I don't been going

339
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:59.559
up there ten times and walking over once more. Maybe

340
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.759
m hm, going there once and doing it ten times,

341
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:17.799
maybe twice and doing it five times. M Oh, I

342
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:25.240
could carry it five times and do it twice. I

343
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:31.240
could go there three times and do it three three

344
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:37.119
times three six. Oh, no, I could do it three

345
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:45.559
in a bit. Or I could do it three times

346
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.799
and on every third day do an extra time. Maybe

347
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:59.880
do a fourth but that makes sense. Three six nine No, wait,

348
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:09.079
three six nine three six nine No, every other day too, No,

349
00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:17.599
thirty six nine So nine nine nine nine nine nine

350
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:20.440
nine nine nine, So that'll be ten days. It'd be

351
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:28.720
ninety instead of one hundred. So on the tenth day,

352
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:36.960
I could do twenty or on the fifth day to fifteen,

353
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:43.200
and not twenty feth day to fifteen, which you mean

354
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:47.119
it would be the grivener doing ten a day. I

355
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.880
think I'm not sure if it's really necessary to get

356
00:33:52.920 --> 00:34:02.079
too bocked down in specifics regarding how many times I

357
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:06.720
is to walk over it. But I thought maybe that

358
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:12.159
would be useful to get a little bit more exercise

359
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:19.719
and you know, get out. Plus there's not really anyone around.

360
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:29.440
There are people around, but not much. And the whole

361
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:34.000
way up and down it's up the ramp and across

362
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:38.000
the bridge is all it's got sight Starle way, Sovin

363
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:41.519
he can't wonder off. He kind of can only go

364
00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:47.639
one way or go backwards or stop, which he likes

365
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.119
to stop. He just likes to do the opposite to

366
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:57.159
what I want him to do. Earlier today we went

367
00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:01.559
into the park and the thing he did was he

368
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:07.159
stole another dog's ball, Amber's ball, that's the name of

369
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:12.840
the dog. He would not let it go and the

370
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.960
ball was too big for his mouth. It was huge,

371
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:20.679
but he loved it. He fell in love with his ball.

372
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:24.559
It's almost like he was the most precious item in

373
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:30.280
the whole world. I literally had to pick him up

374
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:34.199
and price it out of his mouth so I could

375
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:38.360
give it back to the dog. He didn't want to

376
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:42.840
give it back. There was one point, right, and I

377
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.239
kind of picked him up a little bit to get

378
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:46.800
it out of his mouth, and he wouldn't let it go,

379
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:52.800
so I started messaging his hands. Now he does not

380
00:35:52.960 --> 00:36:00.440
let me do that ever without growling and snapping. Doesn't

381
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:03.400
mind me doing that. By on this occasion, he couldn't

382
00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:07.639
do anything because his ball was in his mouth. So

383
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:09.880
I'm thinking, next hole, the next time I want to

384
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:15.400
cut his toenails, I'm just going to stick a ball,

385
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:18.360
get him to hold the ball, and then he won't

386
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:26.800
be what I want to do. Maybe I think it's

387
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:29.320
good though, because he needs to spend more time walking

388
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:32.599
on the pavement, because his toenails do need to get

389
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:36.719
trimmed a little bit. They're not long, but they're not

390
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:44.280
sure either. That's weird the feet his feet toenails are

391
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:48.519
always sure, but his finger donails or his toetoe nol

392
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:54.079
his toe toenails, his finger toenails, his fingernails are longer

393
00:36:54.079 --> 00:37:03.679
than his toenails, and it's not like he's walking sideways

394
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:07.840
to his feet or on the paper, and his hands

395
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:11.400
are on the grass. You know, that would make sense,

396
00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:14.159
and you know if that's why there are different lengths,

397
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:19.679
but no, normally he does running forward and he sees

398
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:24.679
if on the path where he's on the grass or

399
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:29.519
in the mud or wherever. Although he does love running

400
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:35.079
into the long grass. It is this thing. I don't

401
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:37.119
know if other parts of the country do it, or

402
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:41.280
other parts of the world to do this. The council

403
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:49.360
a ordered the lord mower, people who cut the grass

404
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:55.880
in the park, to leave certain areas wild. When I

405
00:37:55.960 --> 00:38:00.519
say wild, I don't mean angry. You know, they just

406
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:03.039
walking up to that bit of grass and teasing it.

407
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:09.039
Just is they're leaving it and not cutting it. So

408
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:20.559
it's something about well, you know, encouraging wildlife. And then

409
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:27.559
after about a year they cut it. Another dog walker

410
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:32.800
pointed out, well, first of all, I don't think it's

411
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.199
a huge amount of wildlife. Maybe there is insects and stuff.

412
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:47.000
That's definitely true, because those grass flea things they can

413
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:48.559
go on to him if I let him in the

414
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:52.239
long grass. So I don't and before I used to

415
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:54.679
have him off the lead in the park and he

416
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:58.320
used to love the long grass being come home with

417
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:03.079
all these ticks and stuff like that. Now I don't

418
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:08.599
name going a long grass and he's got nothing, hasn't

419
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:16.599
had any for over a year. Hasn't it anything on him?

420
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:22.599
And someone I think a couple of days ago another

421
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:26.800
dog walker was pointing out, it's all fair and well,

422
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:31.840
you know, them encouraging wildlife, but what happens to that

423
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:37.400
wildlife when they cut the grass. That's a fair point

424
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:47.440
in it. The thing is, when it comes to wildlife,

425
00:39:48.880 --> 00:40:00.320
I literally lived in the countryside. There's a farm at

426
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:03.519
the end of each road. At the end of every

427
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:08.079
road there is a farm. If I turn left, there's farms.

428
00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:13.880
Every turn right, there's farms. If I go through the

429
00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:18.599
park and keep going through there there's farms. It's just

430
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:26.159
farms everywhere. By farms, I mean growing farms, not animal farms.

431
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.039
I tell you what animal farm. The move It was

432
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:35.360
very different from the book. But yeah, it's though there's

433
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:40.239
not really, So don't don't get to hear cocks every

434
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:47.679
morning like cockadoodle do or whatever they do. That wouldn't

435
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:53.719
bother me really, because I'm up quite early anyway. I'm

436
00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:57.039
sure there are some farms like that around here, But

437
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:02.760
it's really just like growing crops, but they're everywhere all

438
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:08.840
around here. This whole area is farms. But there again,

439
00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:14.400
the whole country is pretty much farmland, with some towns

440
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:19.599
and some cities and some beaches, but it's just a

441
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:28.400
huge amount of farmland here. Apparently the bloke who owns

442
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:32.599
the dice and vacuum cleaner thing, he's the biggest farm

443
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:39.880
owner in the country, or one of them. And in America,

444
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:46.760
the biggest farm owner I think is Bill Gates. That's

445
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:50.559
not just farms, that's land. Isn't it to be a landowner?

446
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:58.079
If you own the farms, you almost kin't of own

447
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:07.599
the food? Wow? Or there's a plane going past. Maybe

448
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:12.360
not I taste strange? Oh yeah, I can you hear

449
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:24.559
that nicer train? Is there a train? I just realized,

450
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:29.199
I don't think it's very windy today, because normally only

451
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:35.679
on days when it's very mild, very calm, that I

452
00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:41.159
can hear the trains. When it's windy, I generally can't

453
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:52.440
hear the trains. Ow it's lovely out there, blue sky, sunny.

454
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:55.039
It's going to be difficult because I caught my jumper.

455
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:04.679
I will that's kind of strange because I have the

456
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:08.199
window open most of the time, but when that window closed,

457
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:17.679
it's so much quieter because that literally just over, you know,

458
00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:22.199
in the garden, I can hear I can't hear what

459
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.079
they're saying. Quite often I can't hear what they're saying anyway,

460
00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:32.000
not that I want to, but it's weirdly enough, unless

461
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:37.679
my hearing has changed, I can't really hear them very well.

462
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:50.239
I'm not complaining. It's lovely. Oh yes, So yesterday I

463
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:55.400
walked twice over this bridge. I walked, I went up

464
00:43:55.400 --> 00:44:00.639
the steps, went over, went down the steps, walked back up,

465
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:06.280
and then back up again. Because the or is it

466
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:11.360
the the ramp is in two parts. It's quite long.

467
00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:14.960
It's in two parts, so you've got one end, you

468
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:17.159
got one bit, then you turn around and you come

469
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:20.599
back the other bit, and it gradually goes up preach

470
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:24.840
one and then you end up at the top of

471
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:28.800
the Basically you end up exactly where you were, where

472
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:35.320
I was before before it went down the steps. It's

473
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:41.599
built for large traffic. Really, it is a kind of

474
00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:44.199
it's the same kind of bridge that you would see

475
00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:50.119
at a busy train station, but there's no train station

476
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:54.679
there there is a train track. I'm not. I think

477
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:58.199
part of the reason they did it was for safety, which

478
00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:02.280
is fair enough, because people used to just across the

479
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:07.960
track there was no way of monitoring it. So it's

480
00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:10.760
a good thing that it's got something over there. But

481
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:15.719
one of the neighbors when I moved in ten years ago,

482
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:20.000
said that they spent like half a million pound putting

483
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:25.480
that bridge up. It still looks in good condition. It's

484
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:32.760
hardly been used something. Seriously, I reckon the amount of

485
00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:36.880
people that cross that bridge in a year would be

486
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.719
the same amount of people that would cross a busy

487
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:54.000
train station in a day. Probably less. In fact, yeah,

488
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:58.760
probably if you get fifty people a day crossing that bridge,

489
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:03.000
I'd be surprised. Mm hmm, maybe one hundred. I'd be

490
00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:06.559
surprised if it was that high. Seriously, as norlays it

491
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:13.159
would I classes two people because I went over twys

492
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:22.760
or did I go over three times? No? I went

493
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:28.440
over twice, but I went over back twice, and that's

494
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:32.360
four times actually yesterday. So I went down the down

495
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:38.639
the So I went up the steps, across the bridge,

496
00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:45.760
down the steps, back up the ramp, across the bridge,

497
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:54.880
down the steps back up the ramp, across the bridge,

498
00:46:56.800 --> 00:47:03.239
down the steps, and back up the ramp, across the

499
00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:08.440
bridge and down the steps, and then we went home.

500
00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:19.559
So what is that? One two three four? So we

501
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:27.119
crossed the bridge four times? So four times we went

502
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:32.760
up and down the ramp one two. I don't know

503
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:36.199
if he said four times we passed over the bridge.

504
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:40.320
So how many times do we go up the ramp?

505
00:47:41.639 --> 00:47:44.480
So we go up the steps, across the bridge, go

506
00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:49.559
down the steps on the other side. So up the ramp.

507
00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:57.400
So one up the ramp, cross over, down the steps,

508
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:04.039
then up that ramp again, then crossover down the steps,

509
00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:12.360
up that ramp, crossover and down the steps. It's just

510
00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:19.000
three okay, let me do this again. Up the steps,

511
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:25.679
cross the bridge, down the steps, then up the ramp,

512
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:33.679
crossing over the bridge, down the steps, then up the ramp,

513
00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:38.559
cross over the bridge, down the steps, up the ramp,

514
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:44.920
cross over the bridge, and down the steps. So how

515
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:52.840
many times is that across the bridge? One two, three four,

516
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.840
So it's only three ramps. I walked up the ramp

517
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:11.320
three times, one two three. It's that classed as far,

518
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:16.960
you know, because I've crossed four times. I don't know.

519
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:22.000
Maybe if I walked up the ramp the first time,

520
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:27.599
crossed over, went down the steps, then went up the

521
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:31.880
ramp the other side, walked down the steps, went up

522
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:37.320
the ramp. Or what I could do? No, Yeah, I

523
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:42.199
mean I could just walk up the ramp, cross over

524
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:47.480
the bridge, go down the ramp, and then just turn

525
00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:52.760
back and walk up the ramp acain. But just I

526
00:49:52.760 --> 00:50:03.519
don't know. Yeah, it's a weird one. I'm already sure

527
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:07.559
it's the same a lot more. Maybe walk up the ramp,

528
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:12.400
crossover the bridge, go down the steps that walk up

529
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.920
that ramp, cross over down the steps, walk up at

530
00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:22.760
that so I don't walk up any steps. But technically

531
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:29.800
the thing is, I was thinking, is it better for

532
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:34.639
me to walk up the steps, because that's more exercise.

533
00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:38.760
But at the same time, if I'm walking down a

534
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:44.840
ramp that's not really put a lot of energy, is it.

535
00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:52.199
That's because I mean it's not like steep steep, but

536
00:50:52.320 --> 00:51:02.840
it's steep still, you know, it's guy is walking upwards. Yeah,

537
00:51:03.199 --> 00:51:06.320
I don't think i'd want to roll the heavy ball

538
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:10.039
up there. Definitely didn't want to want to road try

539
00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:17.239
to roll a skate up there because gravity it Yeah,

540
00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:27.639
because it at might fall back. I don't know. I

541
00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:30.400
have to think about it. I just thought it'd be

542
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:35.199
quite nice if I had this, like nice space to

543
00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:42.559
take him over a few times. And another thing I

544
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:44.840
was thinking I could do is walk up and down

545
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:50.239
my steps where I live across stairs and maybe try

546
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:55.000
and walk up and down start off, maybe doing it

547
00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:58.760
twice and then work it up. So I'm doing walking

548
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:01.400
up and down maybe one hundred times a day, like

549
00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:06.199
in one go, just as an exercise thing. But I

550
00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:14.760
don't know. I'm not sure. I've started doing press ups

551
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:24.199
again and doing some exercise with my weights and doing

552
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:29.199
leg raises in bed for my stomach. So I'm kind

553
00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:31.320
of because I took a little bit of a break

554
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:34.480
for probably two weeks where I wasn't really doing much

555
00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:44.960
exercise at all, not even the weights, not crouching what

556
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:50.519
do they call it crouching, I don't know. Whatever it

557
00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:53.159
is that I do for my lower back while I

558
00:52:53.280 --> 00:53:00.159
old weights, I've not done that for a while. I

559
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:01.679
did it the other day, but I've not done it

560
00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:08.960
regularly every day like like I used to. And part

561
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:13.119
of the reason for that is because at the weekend

562
00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:19.800
I readjusted my bedroom, not purposefully thinking, oh, I'm going

563
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:23.440
to readjust my bedroom. I didn't wake up that morning

564
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:27.960
on Saturday thinking, oh, I jumped out of bed with

565
00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:31.320
full excitement. I'm gonna move my chair to a different

566
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:35.119
part of the room. I don't mean that, It's just

567
00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:41.000
I was getting the microphones out of the storage room,

568
00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:44.480
setting them up. So I got one here on my chair,

569
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:48.519
near my chair, attached to a table. I got one

570
00:53:48.840 --> 00:53:53.239
next to my bed. I had one attached so I

571
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:56.280
can make videos. But I don't think I can do

572
00:53:56.360 --> 00:54:03.360
videos anymore. I just I prefer audio. It's an old saying.

573
00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:07.000
You know, some people have got they've got a face

574
00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:14.880
for radio, and I'm one of them. I think it's

575
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:20.239
possibly a disappointment if someone sees me like they might

576
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:23.199
be listening to me for a long time. Some people

577
00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:26.400
have been listening to me for years and then they

578
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.280
they get curious and they go on to the YouTube channel.

579
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:38.960
They see me and think, well, now that's ruined. That's

580
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:45.159
ruined everything. So you know, it's not like I'm not

581
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:56.079
hiding myself. But plus, I think with video, I've never

582
00:54:56.360 --> 00:54:59.920
liked pictures. I'm not. I don't mean I've never liked

583
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:02.880
the picture I've ever seen ever I mean, I've never

584
00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:11.400
really enjoyed a picture of me because I don't think

585
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:19.519
photographs necessarily show the person, but a video can you know,

586
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:26.119
your personality can show in a video. You don't smile

587
00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:32.360
and frowning, facial expressions, the voice, all that stuff movement,

588
00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:37.000
which I guess is part of the whole video process,

589
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:45.119
isn't it movement? But I didn't. I feel I've done

590
00:55:45.199 --> 00:55:48.639
that now I've been there. I spent years doing videos,

591
00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:53.880
and there's a little part of me thinking I just

592
00:55:54.119 --> 00:56:02.239
wish that. I just don't really want to make videos.

593
00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:10.760
I prefer audio. This is more relaxing for me. This

594
00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:14.400
is where I can really just be myself because if

595
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:17.239
I've got a video camera there, I've got a tendency

596
00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:21.440
of I don't know if it's so much showing off,

597
00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:31.000
but I definitely feel very self conscious, feel very self conscious.

598
00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:34.559
At no point do I forget that the camera's pointing

599
00:56:34.599 --> 00:56:40.360
at me. With the microphone. This is almost the most

600
00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:43.159
natural thing in the world for me to just talk

601
00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:50.280
into a microphone. It's there's no effort. I think that

602
00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:54.320
comes across that clearly is no effort. That's why it's

603
00:56:54.360 --> 00:57:00.679
though it's so awful because no energy, no effort planning.

604
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:12.400
It's real. This is just me and I don't necessarily

605
00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:19.039
think that that happens as much on a video because

606
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:26.039
I just I feel self conscious. I mean, I didn't

607
00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:33.440
enjoy it when I had hair, but now now that

608
00:57:33.559 --> 00:57:39.639
my hair's kind of it's really weird, Like I got

609
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:46.159
a bald patch of the back and my hairs. I

610
00:57:46.239 --> 00:57:51.760
trimmed my hair so it's like a a crooker. I guess.

611
00:57:54.840 --> 00:57:58.360
I can see in the mirror that the gap between

612
00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:02.519
the hairs is growing, and some of those hairs that

613
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:06.320
are growing back are not the same strength for thickness

614
00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:19.039
that they used to be. And I'm thinking that possibly

615
00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:27.760
the next ten years I might Okay, well I'll be bored.

616
00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:30.880
And that's it really. I showed a picture to Jack

617
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:36.400
Tpt to create an image for me, and I said, oh,

618
00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:43.239
make an image of Venny and me Venie on the

619
00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:49.480
bed making a podcast or something and I'm sleeping on

620
00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:53.960
a dog bed on the floor. So I did that

621
00:58:54.920 --> 00:59:02.760
and they said, oh, I said what to Jack Russell?

622
00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:06.159
Read Jack Russell when they did that, and I posted

623
00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:09.280
a picture of him, so they changed it to like

624
00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:14.239
a lifelike picture of Vinnie. I think he was holding

625
00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:17.039
a board. We said, I ha a q and a

626
00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:24.559
Friday or whatever it was. And then I said, can

627
00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:31.159
you make my image as well? So they said, upload

628
00:59:31.199 --> 00:59:34.239
a picture of you, So I did. It just showed

629
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:38.000
someone with a massive ball patch and just a hair

630
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:43.000
growing on the side, like, that's not why I look

631
00:59:43.199 --> 00:59:50.800
like not yet it possibly will be that. It won't

632
00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:55.639
because I will shake my hair. I will. That's that's

633
00:59:55.679 --> 01:00:00.000
so annoying though, because I'm pretty sure that the side

634
01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:03.519
my hair and the back of my hair is so

635
01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:09.320
thick and curly, but so thick that it would never board.

636
01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:12.119
I don't think I'm ever going to be that. That

637
01:00:12.159 --> 01:00:16.400
will always be thick hair and other side as well,

638
01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:24.360
but not so much in the middle. It is going

639
01:00:24.400 --> 01:00:26.760
back to Moses. It's a little bit like the parting

640
01:00:26.880 --> 01:00:30.199
of the Red Sea. It started at the back and

641
01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:37.519
it's just slowly moveing to the front. It's weird Moses

642
01:00:37.599 --> 01:00:43.280
and bridges. That seems to be the topic of the day.

643
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:49.599
I did another video I never a podcast image and

644
01:00:52.440 --> 01:00:55.079
they said, so do you want to I want to

645
01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:59.800
put in an image of me, They said, describe yourself.

646
01:00:59.880 --> 01:01:04.360
I said, old, a fifty four year old man I

647
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:07.519
looked about ninety when they put this picture of me,

648
01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:12.360
like it's old, old looking person. I do not look

649
01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:15.559
like that, or maybe I do. I don't to me,

650
01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:19.360
but I do need to have my eyes checked to

651
01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:22.840
be fair. I'm saving up for an eye test and

652
01:01:22.920 --> 01:01:26.480
to get what the eye test is free, but the

653
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:33.480
glasses aren't. So I think I get the lenses for free,

654
01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:40.360
but I have to pay for to have the gloss,

655
01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:43.760
you know, the protection on them, and also the actor

656
01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:46.840
light so they go dark in the sun. So I

657
01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:48.960
have to pay for that, and I have to I

658
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:53.119
think I get a discount on the frames, or I

659
01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:58.159
think I can get a free frame, but they're like NHS.

660
01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:01.679
There's nothing wrong with NHS, but I kind of think

661
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:05.480
I don't care what the frame looks like if they're

662
01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:10.639
ever reading, because I'm not going to be reading outside

663
01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:15.400
pretty much. I'm going to read here and I'm looking

664
01:02:15.400 --> 01:02:17.360
forward to getting my classes so i can get back

665
01:02:17.360 --> 01:02:20.480
to reading again. I just can't do it at the moment,

666
01:02:20.519 --> 01:02:27.199
not with these. So it's going to cost me a

667
01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:31.760
few hundred pounds two because I'm gonna have to get

668
01:02:31.880 --> 01:02:39.039
two different probably three different frames, one for distance, you know,

669
01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:44.280
normal day to day, one for reading and one for using.

670
01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:49.480
I'm on a computer. I need to start like protecting

671
01:02:49.519 --> 01:03:00.360
my eyes a bit more, and I've noticed I can't. Hm,

672
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:03.760
I can't spend as much time looking at the computer

673
01:03:03.880 --> 01:03:09.239
screen as I used to do, which is I mean,

674
01:03:09.760 --> 01:03:15.000
it's not a terrible thing, really, because I don't really

675
01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:17.400
want to be spending all day looking at a computer screen,

676
01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:26.400
but at the same time, it is limiting and I'd

677
01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:30.679
at least like to have the option, but at the

678
01:03:30.679 --> 01:03:38.840
same time by looking after my eyes. So as soon

679
01:03:38.880 --> 01:03:44.960
as I've saved up enough, I'm gonna get an appointment

680
01:03:45.360 --> 01:03:52.840
go to the opticians. I'm thinking about asking for because

681
01:03:54.320 --> 01:03:59.119
I saw somewhere that there's certain lenses that I quite

682
01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:04.000
good for people bipolar. Now, I might have dreamt it,

683
01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:13.119
but it's not something I would normally dream about, But

684
01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:17.719
then I don't remember everything I dream about. In fact,

685
01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:21.679
I can't remember the last time I had a dream.

686
01:04:22.119 --> 01:04:25.840
I have a dream, I don't have dreamt I just

687
01:04:25.880 --> 01:04:39.559
don't remember exactly what I dreamt about. And yeah, wow,

688
01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:43.559
I think I had a dream the other day, and

689
01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:53.960
I just I can't remember what it was. I don't

690
01:04:53.960 --> 01:05:04.000
know I was I talking about dreaming. While I was

691
01:05:04.039 --> 01:05:12.039
I talking about dreaming, Oh, bipolar lenses. I know that

692
01:05:12.079 --> 01:05:18.880
there's some lenses to people with some conditions, not just

693
01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:26.400
visual conditions, where like different colored tinted classes are that

694
01:05:26.519 --> 01:05:29.400
color all the time, not just in the sun, but

695
01:05:29.559 --> 01:05:34.719
mind tint dark in the sun. Apparently people can see

696
01:05:34.760 --> 01:05:37.679
where I'm looking though, which came as a bit of

697
01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:43.119
a surprise. After ten years of thinking I was my

698
01:05:43.239 --> 01:05:50.760
eyeballs had freedom. So now before I go to the opticians,

699
01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:53.800
I'm going to do a bit of research if there's

700
01:05:53.840 --> 01:06:01.719
something that can help me in some way, if looking

701
01:06:01.800 --> 01:06:06.679
through a different colored lens could be useful. Dennis Worth

702
01:06:06.800 --> 01:06:17.639
exploring there's somewhere to do list, Yeah, because I remember

703
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:24.639
one of the beges. I think it was the maybe

704
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:27.719
two of them, but one of them matter. I think

705
01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:33.000
like a yellow tilted or tinted glasses. And I used

706
01:06:33.039 --> 01:06:37.079
to know someone I think she was a customer, or

707
01:06:37.440 --> 01:06:43.199
I'd said when I worked in the Evolution shop in Ipswich.

708
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:49.599
She I think she worked next door in Snappy Snaps,

709
01:06:51.400 --> 01:06:59.159
which was this camera processing place or picture processing, and

710
01:06:59.199 --> 01:07:04.199
she had I think yellow lenses or blue lenses, and

711
01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:10.719
said I asked her about it, and she said it

712
01:07:10.840 --> 01:07:17.840
was something to do with I'm pretty sure she said autism.

713
01:07:18.360 --> 01:07:26.159
Or I'm also I have a memory of hearing that

714
01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:34.079
lenses can help with ADHD, But again I'm not sure, right,

715
01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:43.719
just these are like faint memories that maybe complete fabrications.

716
01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:50.880
But I think anything really is worth for dry, isn't it.

717
01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:57.480
It's now to lose. I might get some funny looks.

718
01:07:59.360 --> 01:08:05.599
What I just think is maybe going forward, I'll ask

719
01:08:05.639 --> 01:08:09.679
them if I can get lenses that are always dark

720
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:19.680
all the time, like Royal Roberson. Did you know Roy

721
01:08:19.720 --> 01:08:23.399
Roberson didn't wear those classes because he had anything wrong

722
01:08:23.399 --> 01:08:29.960
with his eyes. It's true he had an eye injury,

723
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:33.119
or he had a style or something like that. So

724
01:08:33.159 --> 01:08:36.640
he wore those classes when he was on stage because

725
01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:41.199
his eye was all yammy. This might be a lie,

726
01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:44.119
but this is my memory of it. And he wore

727
01:08:44.199 --> 01:08:49.399
his classes on stage to perform Miss roy Robison, the singer,

728
01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:54.119
and he liked them so much he decided to spend

729
01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:57.840
the rest of his career wearing those classes, those big,

730
01:08:57.960 --> 01:09:06.920
thick classes dark okay, which looked like he had serious

731
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:16.760
sight issues, but apparently he didn't. I have seen people

732
01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:29.960
wear those type of classes that were very had impaired sight.

733
01:09:31.680 --> 01:09:34.159
But I was thinking maybe I could get some not

734
01:09:34.479 --> 01:09:39.039
I don't want them like that. But just the thing is,

735
01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:46.640
I think some people look they think it's weird if

736
01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:53.720
you walk around in the winter wearing sunglasses. And I've

737
01:09:53.720 --> 01:09:55.359
had a couple of people who say, well, you were

738
01:09:55.359 --> 01:09:58.439
in sunshines. It's like, I'm not. These are my normal classes.

739
01:10:05.720 --> 01:10:09.439
But these don't look like sunshades because there's a different frame.

740
01:10:09.880 --> 01:10:14.960
These look like glasses, because sunshades are normally a bit more,

741
01:10:16.479 --> 01:10:19.920
are more stylish more, there's a different kind of a

742
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:29.520
frame I think with sunshades. Although I I kind of

743
01:10:29.600 --> 01:10:43.279
do like you remember the Blues Brothers, that kind of sunshades. Yeah,

744
01:10:43.319 --> 01:10:46.319
maybe I'll look I'll look into that. Maybe that's what

745
01:10:46.399 --> 01:10:50.359
I'll do, just something to kind of protect my eyes

746
01:10:50.359 --> 01:10:57.560
from the sun from the light. I'll see what the

747
01:10:57.600 --> 01:11:01.800
optician says. But before all that, do a little bit

748
01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:05.680
of research on mine, maybe watch a few YouTube videos

749
01:11:05.720 --> 01:11:11.600
and find out what's about and perhaps to a bit

750
01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:17.920
of research into the science behind it and see what

751
01:11:18.079 --> 01:11:25.199
studies are shown, because I'll figure it if anything that

752
01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:36.680
can help is brilliant. Although in the future, the smart

753
01:11:36.720 --> 01:11:44.439
classes will be the norm, and I'm interested in that.

754
01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:49.319
I do like the idea of wearing smart glasses and

755
01:11:49.359 --> 01:11:52.680
being able to talk to them. I like the idea

756
01:11:52.680 --> 01:11:56.680
of being able to make a podcast while I'm just

757
01:11:56.720 --> 01:12:02.039
walking around. Probably I probably have. I don't know how

758
01:12:02.119 --> 01:12:10.359
could the microphone would be on the glasses. But audio

759
01:12:10.439 --> 01:12:14.479
is improving all the time, and the ability to improve

760
01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:21.720
audio as well after recording is technologies is improving all

761
01:12:21.760 --> 01:12:24.880
the time, so it's there's so much more that can

762
01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:30.880
be done. So I'm just I'll see what happens, but

763
01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:38.079
I'm going to look into it. My question is what

764
01:12:38.239 --> 01:12:41.600
was I talking about when I very first started this recording,

765
01:12:42.920 --> 01:12:48.079
Because it wasn't bridges, it wasn't glasses. What was it.

766
01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:54.840
I don't know. I can't remember. I cannot remember old

767
01:12:54.960 --> 01:13:01.439
motorbikes in the garden. That's it. So I've got no

768
01:13:01.560 --> 01:13:05.239
idea how long I've been talking. It might be twenty minutes,

769
01:13:05.359 --> 01:13:08.680
it might be an hour. I don't know, but I'm

770
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:13.479
going to go, So thank you for listening. Remember to

771
01:13:13.520 --> 01:13:17.439
be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be

772
01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:25.239
happy and be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

773
01:13:25.760 --> 01:13:29.039
Lots of love, bye,
