It's 6.28 p.m.

And welcome, a little bit late, to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

I'm Ian Tiny Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandspring.

So apologies for the slight delay there.

We had some problems pressing the button between Zoom and Facebook.

The internet was trying to tell us not to go live.

Yes, yes.

Oh, the hilarity of the man that doesn't have to do any of the technical side of it.

Usually the go-life button just goes missing.

And today it was confidently there lulling you into a false sense of security that when you pressed it it might actually work but here we are a beautiful beautiful sunny day and um yeah how's it all going um it's um it's not going too bad, to be fair.

I'm a little bit pinker than normal.

I've been out in the sunshine.

I don't really like the heat, to be really honest with you.

But I've walked up the hill today with my daughter

and sat on a bench looking over the grand vista that is Portsmouth.

And yeah, so yeah, it's been a good day so far.

Let's see what we can do about that.

Marvelous.

How about you?

Yeah, no, it's been a challenging week.

The eldest is at home with a badly shattered ankle.
