And thank you for listening. Now, now, now, now, now. I didn't make a recording yesterday at all.

I don't think. Not one, not one recording. in.

Not even one. And it's, what's the time? It's about, oh shit, no, it's on the telly. What's the time? 8.16 in the morning.

8.16 a.m. Whatever that stands for. After midnight isn't it? P.M. A.M. P.M. Past midday. I do use a 24 hour clock.

I mean I don't say I'll meet you at 1600 hours to civilians. Civilians. But I used to, when I was in the Sea Cadets I learned the 24 hour clock.

In a way it makes more sense. You know? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. It would make sense really just to call it, if it's a 24 hour clock, to call it that.

Really. Wouldn't that make more sense really generally than I'll meet you at 1. Well in the afternoon or in the morning. I need to know.

Well we're only open between 9 and 5 during the day. Yeah but I still don't know. You need to tell me.

Afternoon or morning. It's going to be afternoon isn't it? 1 in the afternoon. It's not going to be 1 in the morning is it? Why? Because it's a doctor's appointment and we're not open at 1 in the morning.

But why? You should have said 1300 hours then. No, 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Any time we say 1 o'clock.

We're talking about the afternoon. Okay? No, it's not okay. Ah, just watch some telly.

Right, there's a new trend. A new trend apparently. Public toilets are now being converted into businesses.

I thought it would be funny if actually they converted a public toilet into an actual cottage. You know, I mean they've been called cottage, people are using cottage for years isn't it? So actually you have to use an actual cottage. But anyway, the one public toilet was turned into a recording studio.

Which I do get. You get good acoustics in a public toilet for singing. And well any kind of noise you make is very echoey.

Like, oooohhhhhh when you're doing a wee wee. And the other one's a public toilet. I mean these are public toilets that have been closed down due to a probably misappropriation of fuel, you know, not being used correctly.

They've understood that, really. It should feel safe to just go to the toilet. I mean it's a very personal thing and it's a very, it's something we all, well I suppose most of us have to do at some point.

And, you know, sort of in town it's just based, the place is full of drug users. Like the men's toilets in town. You see they just, it feels like one of the most unsafe places.

And it's a public place. And everyone, you know, everyone uses it I guess. All men.

And I don't know what the women's one's like. Unfortunately I've not been able to go in there. And the, I'd like to.

No, just out of interest. Not anything kinky. Just, yeah, I'd just like to see.

But I suppose I could if it was like, you know, very quiet in town and I was with a woman and she could kind of check to see if there's anyone in there and I could just have a little sneak preview, you know, while she kept a lookout. But I haven't really put that much thought into it. But the men's ones are, it's just people just jacking up and just, you know, it's quite weird.

It's like a grimy environment. It's bad enough that there's a smell of, you know, the normal stuff. But yeah, it's a very, it's a horrible place.

Horrible. Instead of being a lovely place, I think toilets should be like wonderful places where human beings come together, realizing that we all are very similar. You know, we're actually, we all have to, we all have that in common.

That we're not superior over another person because of how we look, because of skin color, or because of, you know, the kind of job we have or money we have. Because that means nothing when you need to go to the toilet. Because if you get caught short and you need a poo, it doesn't matter if you're a billionaire.

It's the same feeling as someone that has no money. It needs to be sorted, you know. So I kind of think toilets is a place where we can, people could like come to, not come together, because obviously go back to cottaging, but yeah, I don't know.

Anyway, I didn't really come on it to talk about public toilets, but I seem to have done. So let's stick with it. Another public toilet is being turned in, because this is being turned into a restaurant or a cafe.

Yeah, public toilets being turned into a cafe. I'll say it one more time. A public toilet is going to be converted into a cafe.

One more time. And they're going to call it spend a penny. And you sit in there eating your sandwich or whatever you've, you know, your scone, a nice cup of tea.

I'll just be thinking about all the people that have been also sitting in that particular spot over the years and what they were doing. I don't think I'd be able to enjoy the experience if I'm honest. Nah.

And I think if I was gonna convert a public toilet myself into a cafe, restaurant thing, I probably wouldn't call it spend a penny. I probably wouldn't. I tried to remove myself from the, you know, that kind of the past history.

You know what I mean? I just, it's just like, I don't know. It kind of almost like if we're going to sort of like have things how they were, then what do we start doing? Have like really, really old buildings and rename them, you know, built by slaves. I mean, you know, which is the reality in some countries where, you know, bridges built by hostages and war and prisoners and, you know, it's like, no, we just call it the bridge.

Well, we don't call it the bridge, but the bridge might be called the bridge. That is the bridge, but not named after what it was created by. I mean, that's what, that's what my parents did is they converted a toilet outside.

They knocked through the kitchen. I say they knocked through, they did. They knocked through the kitchen and the toilet was the new seating area in the kitchen for us to eat.

So basically we were eating, we were sitting, eating where previous people had been sitting in the past. Probably not eating. I don't think I once forgot that it had been a toilet.

That stuff doesn't seem to leave my mind. It's weird, isn't it? How lucky to have a brain such as I. And the thing is, men's toilets are stinky. Really, really, really, really grim.

Yeah. Horrible, horrible, horrible places, especially the small ones. You know, sort of, you go into a train station and those toilets, like not the big train stations, like Liverpool Street or, you know, King's Cross, although I think you get a lot more, a lot, a lot more for your money in King's Cross.

But it's, it's still, grimy, grimy. So yeah, don't turn it into a food establishment, please. I never looked at a, never looked at a public toilet, done a dump, sitting there thinking, wow, this would make a great restaurant.

Never, ever, never happened, ever. Anyway. So yeah, I haven't made a recording for a couple of days, or no, one day, to be fair.

I never go too long without making a recording. And I don't think anyone really notices. I notice.

But because I make so many recordings, I think, you know, realistically, or I don't think anyone's going to be like, where have you been? You haven't made a recording for five hours. Which is rare for me to go five hours without making a recording. Or 12 hours.

So I do do, how many do I do? I generally make at least two a day, at the moment, these days, sometimes three. But the third one is to deep sleep whisper, which is something there's, they're very popular, but the problem with them is I need quiet. Because when you're whispering, you really need to be as quiet as possible in the background.

So I'm kind of holding off doing those until I get the next lot of soundproofing strips to put into my studio garden shed that's in my bedroom. And when the next lot are in, so I'm getting, I've got 20 strips come in, so two different lots. I've got 10 come in.

No, I've got 21 coming. So I've got 10 come in, hopefully the next week or so. And could it take a while to get here? A good few weeks before they actually arrive.

And then I'm going to put that, put them in straight away. The 10, one, two, one, two, three, four. So that should make quite a bit of difference to the soundproofing of the shed.

Those 10, the first 10, which means I should be able to start using it regularly for the deep sleep whisper ones. And then when I get the next 10, and I can start maybe put them on the outside, which again should, you know, increase. And I don't know if I put them on the outside.

I might, yeah, probably. I don't know. But the next 10 should.

The next 10 should reduce it even more, reduce the sound even more. So that's just groovy. And what other things? So then I'll be able to do a deep sleep one every day, every day.

And maybe even make more relaxation stuff. And when I do the sleep hypnosis weekly, I need real quiet for that as well. So ideally I'd have real quiet for everything.

But there's other things I need to do for that shed. I need to make it, put some light in there and make it, although it's going to be soundproofed, I need to make it a little bit pleasant to be in. That makes sense.

I don't know how to do that or what way to do that. I'm not sure. I almost wish it was a bit bigger and it couldn't be bigger in the sense that there's not enough room to have a bigger shed in my bedroom.

It's big enough for what I need it for. But it's very noticeable when you walk in my bedroom, you know, you don't walk in there and say, well, Jason, I thought you said you had a shed in there. You notice it.

It is there. Oh, in fact, you probably start laughing if you walked in there right now because it is actually a shed. It looks like a shed.

Eventually it won't look like a shed because it will be covered in the soundproofing, so it'll look very different. It might even have a different shape to the shed because I'm going to really apply that stuff on the outside. But at the moment, it's a shed, very much a shed.

And I had someone come round me, they laughed and they saw it. I couldn't believe it. What? Why have you got a shed in your bedroom? And I said, oh, that's where me and your wife, you know, do it.

He said, what? I said, no, I'm kidding. He said, that's not funny. I was joking.

Well, you want some, do you? You want to have a row, do you? You want a row? I said, yeah, let's have a row. He said, anyway, you know, my wife's dead. I said, I'm sorry.

I was just joking. He was messing around. That never happened.

So I said, that's going to plan. It's just very slow. It's a very slow plan.

You know, I've got the shed. And to be fair, the shed was bought by gifts, you know. So that was bought by listeners of my podcasts, the users or fans or whatever, followers of this free service.

So that shed was bought by that. And the soundproofing has also been bought by that as well. Bought by those people.

By that? Bought by you and other people that listen from PayPal gifts. And also there is a wish list, Amazon wish list, where you could buy, if you wanted to, you could buy a purchase, some strips. You can order a strip from me.

You can. And they're, I think they're about £5.99 each. So I need about, I put down, I need a hundred.

I probably need more than a hundred to be fair. But to get it functional, I need another hundred on top of the hundred I've got coming that have already been paid for. And I haven't got a hundred coming.

I've got 20 coming. Would say a hundred. I say, yeah, so I say a hundred.

Yeah. Anyway, the, I don't know if I need that many, but I might. I've also got other soundproofing to do.

I want to soundproof every single room in this building. I've already soundproofed a lot of the living room. I need to soundproof the bedroom.

I also need to soundproof the floor as well. So there's a lot of soundproofing to do, but this, this whole place is about the, my life is about these recordings. It's about, I don't know, it's the, this is what this, it's kind of, you know, when you, this is probably what I would do if I was a kid, you know, making, if I was a kid and I had this flat, let's say if I was 14, it would be all about karate and kung fu and martial arts.

That's what it would be. There'd be punch bags. There'd be pictures of Bruce Lee, pictures of Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan.

Because I was a fan of Jackie Chan before he was famous in, you know, in Hollywood. He used to make martial arts films that were just so funny. And he, I'd have all that stuff.

I would, I'd have, if I had the money, you know, sort of to do it, I would, yeah, this whole flat would be one big kung fu palace. It would. So I suppose technically I might as well, I'm doing the same kind of thing.

I'm turning it into my hypnosis palace. And I know exactly what I want to do. With this room here, there's still, there's not that much soundproofing left to do in this room.

There's a lot, probably three quarters done or at least, yeah, two thirds done I'd say. And then I'm going to put the whiteboards on the wall where I can start writing down what I need to do and writing down ideas and stuff. So I'm going to put quite a few whiteboards on the wall.

I've already got one. So that's something I'm going to be doing. And also it's about teaching myself, you know, trying to sort of remind myself of stuff and learning new things and incorporating that into the, not these recordings, but the other recordings, you know, for anxiety and stuff.

So yeah, it's just, for me, it's about learning and about using that new information. Now you can't argue that this has not been boring so far. This is proper boring.

Very boring. So yeah, that's what I'm going to do. And I also need to prepare.

I need to, I want to get some soundproofing carpet, the proper soundproofing that they use in studios, recording studios, and partly to keep, so that I don't make any noise for neighbors, but also so I can't hear the neighbors. Because it just, it just make my, my life style or just make it more comfortable and nicer if I can't hear other people yabbering away. And if they can't hear me as well.

And also I planned a way of maybe blocking the windows up as well. Not, not all the time, but just for in the event, maybe, so if I want to make a recording in here, so maybe it's going to take quite a bit of work to do that. It'd be fairly expensive to do as well.

But put a big, basically plug the window. And I think the window is the same size in both rooms. If that's the case, I'd only need one window plug, which is a weird term, window plug.

But that's where most of the sound would come in from, you know, from the garden and stuff through the window, because it's probably not coming in through the walls. And so right now there's practically no background sound. I can hear a little bit from the kitchen.

That's just the fridge. There's no one in the garden as of so far. The children are on holiday for a week, half turn.

So there's usually quite a fair bit of activity this time of the morning. And yeah, I like it when it's peaceful. I can hear a train now coming.

Can you hear that? I don't know why, but the trains are always noisier at night. So that same train, at, you know, one o'clock in the morning, it might not be the same train. You could hear it.

It's just, it's weird, isn't it? It's like there's other sounds that are blocking that sound during the day, even though I can't hear those sounds either. I don't get it. I really don't.

I didn't understand. So, why am I up so early? Why am I up so early? Well, here we go. Here's the reason.

I went to bed early. That was exciting. You thought something really brilliant was going to come then.

It's like, I could tell, yeah, what's happened? What's happened? I went to bed early. And basically, I'm meeting a friend today. And she's, or her and her fiancé.

Why is it fiancé? Is it fiancé for both, isn't it? It's a man that's getting married and his wife is a fiancé, or his future wife. And if a woman's getting married, her husband, they're both fiancés, aren't they? It makes me laugh when people use that term as well. So, is your boyfriend coming? No, but my fiancé is.

That's your boyfriend then. No, it's my fiancé. He's your boyfriend.

Are you married? No. So, he's not your husband. He's my fiancé.

No, you don't realize that being engaged is only meaningful to you and that person. That's the only meaning it has. It's an agreement between you two.

It's not legal. It's not a legal agreement. I'm not saying the word fiancé.

I refuse. Wow. You can buy bunion connect corrections.

Never had a bunion. I didn't know what a bunion was until just this second. Wow.

Because bunion sounds of onion, doesn't it? It sounds, it rhymes. So, I never thought of it being particularly bad. I thought it was more like a wart or something on your feet.

It sort of deforms the toe or pushes a toe in a wrong direction, a big toe or something. I had no idea. I need to be more sympathetic towards my friend because she had two bunions and she had to have operations.

I didn't realize it was... Luckily, I don't have that. But not yet. It's still time.

But yeah, my toes are... I've got big, big toes. So, I've got a size 10 foot, but I think it's the big toe that does it. I've got very thick, big toes.

Maybe everyone does, but I can't talk for everyone. I mean, you know, send in pictures of your toes so I can have a look. No, don't, please.

No, I don't want to see it. They're my big toes. When I was doing karate when I was a kid, I used to have problems with my toes because they used to hurt.

And the doctor said that I had ballerina feet or ballerina's toes. And I knocked him out with my nunchucks. And he said, no, no, no.

I said, ballerina's toes. I don't do ballerina. I don't do ballerina.

He said, no, no, I'm not saying that you do ballerina. I said, he said, it's a condition that ballerina's have because of the constant bending of the toes. And some ballerina's have to stop doing it because of that.

Because it's so painful. And I had that with doing the karate. So yeah, kind of, I don't think it's okay.

I'm not sure if it's the damage in the toes or the toes just aren't, it might be damage or the toes just don't like it. I might have had lazy toes. You heard about a lazy eye.

I think I had a lazy eye at one point, but I never thought I had lazy toes. Lazy toes. So I've got a new thing that I'm doing, but I actually have to stick to this because I've invested in it, which is annoying me because I kind of want to stop doing it.

Yeah. I've invested in it, so I need to keep doing it. So basically what I've got is there's a podcast that I've got and it's not cheap to host it, but it lets me transcribe my podcasts.

And the podcasts aren't transcribed perfectly. So still, you know, if I want it to be correct, I'd need to listen to the podcast, but then it's just about making adjustments, not having to type the whole thing out, you know, which would just be awful. So to be able to transcribe my podcasts is a great thing in the sense of I decided I was going to try and write a book.

So based on my recordings, at the very least, get some ideas from the recordings. But because I've got over a thousand hours worth of me talking, I thought, you know, perhaps you could let it go. So I've been playing around with this idea for years, actually, literally years.

And I've been playing around with it even more, been playing with it more lately, on and off. And then last night, I thought, yeah, I'm going to do it. So I started working on it, started using Google Docs, you know, making files and putting stuff in and organising it all into categories.

And yeah, so this is the first part of the process. And I realised that part of the reason I don't like doing it is because when it comes to writing and reading, looking at the computer screen is not particularly pleasant and also not great for my eyes. You know, I can read off a Kindle, but reading off a computer screen is just a bit, yeah, it doesn't really, it's not great.

So, because what it is, is I need to read wearing reading glasses to read, but the reading glasses are no good for reading off the computer screen, unless I have the computer really close up, you know. So what I've done is I've invested in a printer. So I got it off the catalogue so I can pay it back.

I haven't got to pay for it right now. So I've got a printer coming. So what I'm going to do, and I've also got, um, yeah, I've got two ink cartridges coming as well.

But then I can get ink cartridges like, probably a lot cheaper once I figure out what ones I can use. Because I only need black, I don't need lots of different coloured inks, just black, because it's just going to be print, you know, just typing. And I've got 500 pages or, you know, printing paper coming as well.

So the idea is every transcript for each recording, I'm going to print out or file them. And I'm going to go through each one and adjust it. And then I can go back, you know, take out words, add words, make sure that it makes sense, go back into the document and just readjust, you know, readjust it off of the paper.

It'd just be a lot easier for me to do that. And also, yeah, that's the plan really, to be fair. That's the plan.

So the printer will be in the next couple of days, probably. Should have it by tomorrow, I reckon. And, and I'll get working on that.

It's a lot to do. And also, you know, continue to make the recordings. So, you know, just something I'm going to sort of try and stick at.

But now that I bought the printer, which I don't need for any other reason, I can, uh, what is that? An oven cleaner. That looks quite good. I've got the TV on.

You know, what's the name of it though? Not showing us what it is. Astonish oven and grill. Oh, okay.

So yeah, I've got, that's what I'm going to do. See, I just whistled then. Can't help that.

That's, that's my natural talking. Sometimes I whistle when I talk. I guess there's a speech impediment.

It's weird, isn't it? I hear it myself sometimes. Maybe sometimes I don't notice it. But I would probably find it annoying if I was whistling all the time.

You know, listening to someone that's constantly, um, always whistling. But I don't think I do it too often. Sometimes I, sometimes I might whistle.

Sometimes I whistle. That was a bit loud, wasn't it? Sorry. Sorry.

And so yeah, so that's the plan. I'm a plan, the plan of a man. Hopefully, now I've talked about it, I don't want to do it.

Isn't it weird? Oh, another thing I've got. I don't know if I mentioned it. Yeah, I did.

The, um, I've got a special cushion to sit on for my back, for my lower back. And it is supportive for my back. And I was hoping it was going to be, um, not just supportive, but helping to strengthen my back.

But I don't even know if it is. I ain't sure. So I'm just going to wait and see.

But it's comfortable in a sense of, um, it's more comfortable than sitting without it. But at the same time, I don't want to get, I don't want to be reliant on it. If it's, if it's just there for support and not to help strengthen my lower back by, you know, improve my posture, then just for support doesn't seem like a good idea.

And although I don't, you know, I do want to be comfortable. You know, of course, I suppose all of us do, don't we? I don't want to be sitting in pain, which sometimes I am. So to be sitting and having more comfort in my lower back and it seems to ease, almost relax the rest of my back as well.

So be able to sit here watching telly and not constantly having to be moving and trying to stretch my back and stuff. It's nice. But at the same time, I'm not able to sit in the recliner chair because it does the opposite thing.

It does push me, it pushes back and it, it, this is some weird, weird positions, which means my neck and my head are not supported. I like to just, I like that laziness of just having your head to back, you know, I miss it. I miss it ever so much.

Ever so much. So yeah, so I'm going to see how it goes. I use it, I move the seat to the chair on the table.

It's not on my table, but you know, it's underneath the table, the one that I sit on when I'm at the table. So I'm going to be, I just move it from side to place to place and to the loose, because this chair that I'm sitting in right now is the chair that's going to be in the studio, the recording studio, because it's comfortable and because I can sit in it for long periods of time, you know, sort of an hour and it's fine. It just means what am I going to sit in here? Because it's not, in order to get it into the studio, I have to keep taking the legs off, because otherwise it won't fit in.

So, you know, I'll just see. Let's see. Oh, stretchy, stretchy.

I could so go back to sleep. I can't, but I could, you know. I need to stay awake for, and basically I've got a meeting this afternoon and I've got, what's her name, come in to take me for lunch.

And the first thing I've got to say is, I've got no money. Are you buying me lunch? And she says, no. I said, see you later then.

Because I can't afford to go and eat out. My food's in the fridge and in the cupboards. And I don't think the restaurant or whatever would be happy with me taking a packed lunch with me.

I don't know how that would go down. But as long as she doesn't try and take me somewhere. And I couldn't believe it.

I went, yeah, this is true. This happened. I went and visited my dad and his wife.

And then I was visiting them, meeting up with them. And this is when I was going to tell them that I'd been diagnosed with bipolar. So it was December, 2011.

Okay. And I went there and they said, meet us, we'll buy you lunch. They didn't know about the bipolar thing.

I thought, I told them about it in there. And I said, okay. So I sat down and they said, so which soup are you having? I said, what? I said, well, I'm having tomato.

And I think you're going to have oxtail. So what one are you going to have? I said, what? What do you mean? We're having this, you know, lunch. I said, what? It's not soup.

It's a drink. It's water. It's liquid.

It's a drink. It's not dinner. You know, and I think you're getting it wrong.

I think when, when I said to you, why don't we just have a liquid lunch? I didn't mean soup. He laughed. He went, and I went along with it.

I thought, okay, I'll play you a little game. Yeah. I'll have tomato soup as well.

And yeah, we did. That's my soup. Admittedly, not the most interesting story, but I would say, I mean, I clearly, I haven't let it go.

I still haven't forgiven him for it, but going for lunch, a dinner, lunch, whatever, soup is not a meal. I mean, maybe, you know, during the second world war, rations and stuff, or if you're on a diet, which I'm not, clearly, soup at the very best is a nice, warm, cozy snack. And for me, the only time soup is a meal is when I'm unwell.

Literally the only time. So, and of course it's a starter, isn't it? But I don't think I've ever, I'm not really into the whole starter thing. It's just give me the meal.

Give me the meal now, or you won't get a tip. No, I don't say that, but yeah. That's another thing though, isn't it? If you go and you want to have your dinner and you're just a normal human and you're used to just eating normal food and you go to a restaurant and there's someone's being like, all posh and so, I'll have a starter, a prawn cocktail for me, and I think I'll have a soup, asparagus ravioli, and I'll say, no, just give me my dinner.

I don't want a starter. And they bring the starters out for everyone. And I say, well, where's my dinner? Where's my food? You didn't want a starter.

No, but I want my dinner. No, we're going to bring it out with the rest of the main courses. No, no.

Do you see this tummy here? Do you see this mouth? Not connected to the other people. This is not some kind of centipede movie. This is, we're not connected.

I want to eat your dinner. Welcome to the centipede restaurant. No, no.

So, yeah, that's a deal breaker, I think, if someone orders a starter. Starter. Unless, of course, I order a starter as well.

But then if you go into a pizza place, the starter is like garlic bread with cheese. Bread with cheese. You know, it's like, I've never done prawn cocktails.

I've got a thing about, I've got a thing about seafood. I don't like it. Just, yeah.

I think it's probably due to what I've heard in the papers over the years. But I just, yeah, I don't, I can't eat that stuff in a restaurant. Can't eat anything that's been out of the sea.

It's weird, isn't it? Apart from fish and scampi and tuna, crocodile. Oh, Shreddy's bite size. I've not had Shreddy's bite size for years.

I used to have it a lot when I was younger. I think part of the reason why I don't eat the things that I used to eat is because I don't go into the shops that I used to go. Because some of the smaller shops don't have as much choice as some of the bigger shops do have.

So therefore, it's, I kind of settle. I was going to say, I'm like every girlfriend I've ever been with, I settle. So yeah, so that's where I am today.

Stop meowing, stop meowing, stop whistling. How many recordings have I made of these now? 330 something. How ridiculous.

It's literally over 300, about 340, no, 336 hours of me talking. Or 300, no, it'd be more than that. Probably about 350 hours of me talking, just on this podcast alone.

That's just silly. It's like, what? How many days is that? I mean, literally, I've now done enough of these, let me boy to sleep, that you can listen to one every day for a year. There's now a whole year's worth, 365.

But how many hours would it take to get through that? If you were to listen to eight hours a day, eight hours a day, eight times by 10 is 80. If it's 10 days, it'd be 80 hours. 8, 16, 8, 16, 24, 36, 8, 16, 24, 32, 32, 40.

So I'm trying to think, we're at 40, 40 days? Trying to work it out. Eight. Oh, dear.

I could just work it out on a calculator, that could be easier. Let me just work it out. So calculator, what are we doing? 365 times by eight.

What? No, that's ridiculous. 365 divided by eight, not times by eight, 45 days. So it'd be 45 days of listening to me for eight hours a day.

That's not bad. Give it a go. Why don't you? That sounds like a really good idea.

Possibly the best idea you've ever had. Wow. Wow.

Wow. So my weekend's pretty much sorted. So I'm going to go and do this thing today.

Went to bed about half 11 last night. So, but I'm going to be up all night tomorrow night because the boxing's on. So I'm going to be up either, I'll see what time it starts.

I think it's going to start at two. So I'm in the morning. So I'm going to be very, I'm going to either get up very early.

I'll just probably get a bit of sleep during the day. I'm not going to be that, I'm not that worried about it. I'm going to be awake.

It's not a problem. No. I've got most of the food I need for the weekend.

But I need, I probably could do with getting a few extra bits today while I'm out. Then that'll cover me until the weekend's done. And then go and get some more food on Monday, I suppose.

And yeah, that's it. So I've got the weekend covered today, Saturday, Sunday, and I'm going to be working on the website, not the website, working on the transcribing and storing and organizing all that stuff. And that's, and also upload into that podcast.

So that's going to be my focus for this weekend. Plus, I'm going to hopefully make a few recordings as well along the way. Yes.

So that's kind of me really. It's really weird, you know, sometimes I'll watch a video on YouTube and it will last eight minutes and I'll be watching it thinking, this is lasting for ages. And I wonder how, how do I manage to talk for over an hour? How, how? Howly, how, how, how? Yeah, I do.

Very regularly. I don't know how, honestly. I think maybe the recording itself just gets so bored.

It just fast forwards in time just to hopefully, so I can stop talking. It's a bit rude, isn't it? A bit rude. How dare time do that to me? So I'm going to go wish you a wonderful weekend.

It's Friday today, so a wonderful Friday, but also for the weekend ahead. Keep safe and I'll speak to you next time. So lots of love.

And remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy. So do something nice for yourself this weekend. Treat yourself.

Give yourself a little treat or a big treat. Lots of love. Bye.
