Okay, here we are. Welcome everyone to episode 383 of Sigma Nutrition Radio. As always, my name is Danny Lennon, and I'm here with Mr. Alan

Flanagan. Alan, how are you today? I'm good. I'm free to an extent. Yes, I was going to ask.

I'm free. You're presumably in better spirits now that you can do things. I've had a haircut,

which was, which was interesting. And the gyms reopened on Monday, so I'm, I'm sore. I'm looking forward to some newbie gains, I think.

I'll be due after what, four months, was it basically of no, no lifting, no proper lifting.

So, yeah, things, things, things have opened up a little bit, which is nice.

I mean, there are still restrictions.

And it's kind of good that somewhere a lesson seems to have been learned from last summer when they just said,

right, get back into the pubs and bars and restaurants now.

And so yeah, so like, you know, it's takeaway drinks, but you can't go in and stuff like that.

So outdoor activity and I think there's another phase then of reopening soon so yeah

so things things things are good it's definitely seems to have brought a wave of optimism over there

because there's definitely a lot of envy I think on this side of the water where people are looking over

and they have friends and family living in in England who are being able to do like you say not like anything that crazy just

like a few extra normal things but also we're quite envious that yeah it would be

nice to have a gym open or nice to be up to go get a drink on a nice day

that's it we've been kind of slightly stifled a little bit by Mother Nature.

It's been a bizarrely cold April, even though it's been quite nice, like blue skies and stuff,

but, you know, bizarrely cold, temperature-wise.

So, you know, I think a lot of people's enthusiasm, my mind certainly, you know, Monday after

my first training session back in four months. And I was like, this is great. And I'm walking home and,

you know, blue sky and get a pint and sit on the common. And the next minute the sun goes behind
