And I think we're recording, but I don't know.

Cue the music. And if it does, write into Dear Lovejoy.

Welcome to the award-winning Dear Lovejoy podcast, and this is another mailbag edition.

If you're a new listener, I must warn you, I'll probably be giving opinions and advice on this podcast.

Please remember that I am not qualified to anything. So if you do take advice of me, you're taking advice off a TV presenter, which is a

horrible idea. Mark is here to keep me in check. Hi, Mark. How are you? Hi, Tim. Hi,

everyone. How's life? It was, yeah, it's good.

It's good, you know.

It was up until about five minutes ago and I can get the mixer to work.

It was better.

But no, apart from that, I was, I'm well.

It's been ages since we've done one of these.

I've been to L.A., as you know, in the meantime and after a lot of discussing it and thinking about things I think mark I've learned

how to fix holidays are they were they broken you probably didn't think they needed fixing did you

I didn't I didn't that's news to me but this just sounds good I but you're wrong because I'm

convinced this is like a holiday gift yeah I've come back with a present for me I'm convinced

people are holidaying badly.

What they do is they arrive at their destination and they try and live their fantasy of

what their holiday is.

Take the traditional one.

It's the lying on the beach, the cocktail, the lunch, relaxing, eating, the sunsets, all that sort of

stuff, okay.
