There we go. Well, let me let me welcome you once again, free dislikes. Thanks for having me. Yeah, my pleasure and thanks for rescheduling. It's quite a very summary day today, isn't it?

Oh, it's too hot for me. I can't do it. Yeah, what's your ideal temperature? Do you have a favorite season? Yeah, winter. Really? Okay.

I love wearing lenses. I love a jacket. I love a scarf. I need to be layered up. And then I have the option to remove things when I get too hot. Okay, that's true. Yeah, this weather. I'm not wearing anything and I'm still too hot.

And also the England is not known for the air conditioning. Well, exactly. So I guess it makes sense that the winter is the better option. Absolutely.

It's not really like a snow heavy place. No, which I didn't realize for a long time. I'm from New England and the the shittier one. That's the same new. And Massachusetts is plagued with snow problems. So I thought when people said, oh, the weather in England is going to be terrible.

I thought that's what they meant. I didn't realize it was just kind of pissy annoying rain. Oh, yeah, yeah, just great. That's I can deal with that mostly. But mostly, yeah, that's what I'm used to. That's where one.

What part of of feral England? Did you grow up in I grew up in Oxford Oxford. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

It was a lovely place to grab in. It's a small city. So it was like countryside as well as city. Oh, that's nice.

I also like multicultural and so much to do there. Yeah, but I also moved away when I was like 16 to Cambridge, which is very much the same. Okay. So I'm just very much to use to small cities. Sure. How far away or each of those from say like where we are now.

From that from here, like 45 minutes on the train. Oh, this is one of the things I love about this area is that there's so many different places that are about 45 minutes maximum. Like yeah, less than hour.

Yeah. Like when I used to live in North London and I used to party in West London, we quicker to go home back to Oxford and that would take out in North London.

And now with the Elizabeth line, I was shocked to discover that when I was in Soho, because I'm still getting my bearings a bit, you know, and directions aren't my strong suit. Oh, I mean, you know, perfect. I mean, I got lost just coming here.

I love the note that you said. He said, I'll be about 10 minutes. I walked very confidently in the wrong direction. Yeah, it must be this way. Of course it's this way. How could anyone live over there?

Look at a map. But it's all about the confidence, isn't it? Yeah.

So how long were you in Oxford and Cambridge before moving to what area are you in now? I am currently in Bermans.

Okay. That's only a couple stops away from here. Right? Yeah. Yeah. It's a real close. I could have cycled but again too hot. It's way too hot to even consider cycling. Yeah.

I know. I was in Cambridge for four years, because that's why I went to dance school. Okay. Yeah. And then I moved to London shortly after dance school. So I think that's about like 2008 or nine. Sure.

And I've just been back and forth from London like by Oxford. If I was doing dance, work up and have a house in London, because there'll be no point. Yeah, right. Exactly.

So I've been I think I've been like in Bermans for about four years now. And so you clearly like Bermans. No, it's just see. See there's that the old assumption making an asset of you and me. Right?

Exactly. No, I live like an old school friend and he owns the place and it was cheap rent. So well, perfect until something amazing comes along. Right? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm still waiting. Here we are. So do you see family a lot then? If you've gone, no, no, no. I see my mom when she comes to Oxford. Like I see. Yeah. She wants to come to every show that I do. I'm like, please, no, you're embarrassing. What she like one of your shows?
