| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Life with Nat on this glorious bank holiday Monday. |
| 0:19.3 | We're recording this actually on Wednesday. |
| 0:21.3 | It could be pissing down. |
| 0:22.3 | I'm with my brother Tony. |
| 0:23.4 | You're all right? |
| 0:37.2 | Yes, I'm very good, thank you. I don't know if it looks a bit of a washout the weekend. What do you think? No, I thought it was Waterwall Sunshine. Is it? Oh, fantastic. Well, that's what I hope it's all sunshine because I'm going fishing for the first time in 18 months. |
| 0:38.9 | I'm really, really pleased. |
| 0:41.0 | Genuinely, I am. No, I'm really pleased because with the back pain you're experiencing at the moment, can it really get any worse? And just go and have a go. Yeah, go and have a go. And if I'm local. And if I have to pack up and come home, I will. |
| 0:55.1 | So it's not the end of the old. |
| 0:55.9 | But even a couple of hours. |
| 0:57.0 | I'm giving it a go anyway, that's the main thing. |
| 0:58.9 | So, yeah. |
| 0:59.3 | May I just point out before we get loads of messages of people saying that looks really upset, |
| 1:04.9 | has she been crying? |
| 1:05.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:07.0 | I went for a walk in a field earlier. |
| 1:09.1 | Brilliant. That's a really good idea, given your history. |

Well, no, it's not right. And before anyone says, you can do this, you can do that. It's very kind of you, but I've tried the injection. That doesn't work. I just have to take bits and pieces, but I've got no eyedrops. But thank you very much. And there you go. We ain't been sat there for ages. I know we did our little stimp for two years. Yes, yeah, we did our two years, didn't we? Which was really lovely. I think we've done quite well. Very well. I think with lovely messages on Instagram. Absolutely. Yeah. Really, really positive. We're into our third year. Right. So. Better make it a good then. Make it a good one. Yeah. Definitely. Now, you have had a message. I have. I have. Must talk about it because it's very important. Yes, I have. So a mate of mine I have fished with, I haven't seen Paul for probably about 18 months because I haven't been going a lot. Messaged me out of the blue. And to cut a long story short, Paul Hyde, who's over in Essex, Paul, with Lisa Parker Parker is his partner of 20 plus years. |
| 2:19.6 | He's messing me to say that she's been diagnosed with the dreaded breast cancer, I'm afraid. |
