Hello, beautiful beans and welcome to your head noise episode of this week. This is a voice note head noise episode where you guys send in your voice messages.

If you're interested, if you listen to this episode and you're like, fuck, I'd love to do that.

I've got four that I would like to get to in this episode.

So let's dive in.

a lot of sunlight. Even in the height of summer, it's more often than not cloudy and grey
