Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today. Being the first of June and being a Monday, we shall try and find as many stories to really annoy you as possible. I don't want to do the dog again. We've done the dog on Britain's Got Talent to Death. I'm sure it's going to be fantastic, but I mean, can we now have enough of dogs? You know, pussy cats, I don't mind seeing, why can't somebody come up with a pussycat?

You know, a couple of pussycats that jump over each other or sit down. I mean, I'm sure, actually,

in the back of my mind, that there is a pussycat, pussycat act out there. In fact,

I'm 90% certain that I've seen a pussycat act. Lots of cats sit on, perhaps that was a horror film. I can't remember. Model and actress, Gemma Ward.

No idea who she is, but she's tall and glamorous.

She's made waves in Hollywood, conquered the world of modelling, which is a bit ironic because I've never heard of her.

Anyway, she puts up five pieces of art at an exhibition and doesn't sell any of them.

Nobody was remotely interested.

And the prices went from $400 to $1,200. And you look at them and you think, no, it's not. I think people think that if you're going to be an artist, it's dead easy. You just sort of go there and you just sort of paint a few squiggles. And they go, oh, you're an artist and you can sell them. I think it's a bit of a joke. I mean, I only like pictures that look like pictures, you know, that look like the object that they're painting. I'm very, you know, very, I'm very interested in art, only in so much as I've been to

the National Gallery, I've been to the National Portrait Gallery and it's okay. You know, it's quite good fun. I really,

I really, really like it. I really, really like it. I like going around there. But don't do it all

in one, in one go. You can't do it. It's too big. And I do like the museums. I've got to that

age now. It's old, isn't it? Talking to a friend of mine Paul the other day and we were talking about when we were younger we didn't really like gardening we didn't really you know didn't

really sort of bother about you know gardening and then you get to a certain age and you kind

of like gardening all of a sudden gardening is quite appealing so I can go around a garden

centre and pick out a little I think that's nice I'll's nice, I'll do that. Because it's something satisfying.

Even if you've only got a little balcony, you can still do it, you can still put, you know, some plants in a pot and you can watch them

every day and watch them growing.

It's very satisfying.

I promise you, it really is satisfying.

I know it sounds doth, but I promise you, it's the most satisfying. I mean, I've got some plants to plant out today.

I've got my little bag of earth, which I bought, which has got all the nutrients in there.
