Hello folks how you doing I'm just here recording the usual sponsorship promo that I do at the start of my episodes

I'm in the bedroom again to record this one

Thankfully there's no one drilling today and that's because we actually had a word with our

neighbors politely asking if they could perhaps not use industrial drilling

machinery on our bedroom wall on a Sunday morning while our five-week-old child is attempting to sleep

without developing a phobia of the bedroom wall

because the noise is coming from it. I know that sounds sarcastic but we did

actually ask nicely and thankfully they quickly stopped of course because you

shouldn't be doing that on a Sunday, right? Yes, right, good.

the start of the episode and in fact this time I'd like to read

Peter. Just received this earlier on this afternoon. I'm recording this on Sunday and here's what he wrote he said he wrote in fact not said

I don't know maybe he said it while he was typing it but it's unlikely because people don't do that

anyway here's what Peter wrote to me today he said no he didn't say he wrote

anyway this is what he put in his email. He put, hi Luke, I hope you're doing all right and that you have a nice weekend.

Should be, and that you're having a nice weekend. I'm going to correct some of the errors in this email just

because you know it's for the for the purposes of learning English. Just a couple of

little things. Anyway I hope you're doing all right and you're having a nice weekend. I have followed you

around a year now. You followed me around? You mean you followed me for around a year now because if you say you followed me around
