This is a paid advertisement from Better Health. Now, Judith, you have actually used Better

Health, have you? I have, actually. I've had quite a lot of therapy really in my life

and I've found it very, very useful. I've had something else. I think we all suffer,

do we not, from just having kind of brain overdrive and not being able to clear your thoughts

and not be able to stop, you know, the endless kind of wittering on of your brain.

The middle of the night, which I also think that sometimes we kind of know what our problems

are, but we don't know how to get out of the rhythm of doing the wrong thing.

Oh, yes, the pattern that we're stuck in, yeah, and I think that's where professional

health really steps in. Absolutely, and with over a thousand

therapists in the UK already, Better Health can provide access to mental health professionals

with a wide variety of expertise in mental health. Our listeners get 10% off their first

month at BetterHealth.com slash older and wider. That's better, H-E-L-P dot com slash

older and wider.

There we go. Do you remember this, Judith? Do you remember this tune? I don't know, it's

forgotten, it's been months. It seems ages. It seems like years, it seems like last year.

It seems like we haven't done a podcast since last year, and we haven't, because this is,

oh, well, it's January, it's 2022. I quite like even numbers, Judith. Quite like them. Yes, I do.

Do you like even ones better than the old ones? I think I do. I think I'm interested.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this year, Judith, and keeping the very tight. Well, if I could

cross my fingers, of course, I would, but on the left, I will talk about that later. Let's get

a new year and the Christmas news over and done with. I mean, I can barely remember Christmas now.

Do you know, it fades, doesn't it fades? It's just a, especially when it's a quiet one.
