as March sometimes I go with me the day's March but Alice is almost always an a and

Dallas like Bulls are.

You can see it's Bulls.

Like in what?

It is unsurprising that there are certain elements of this show that are very call and response.

This far into it.

I'm very achy today because I went climbing yesterday and I climbed for too long and now I'm too achy.

Oh no, dear.

Otherwise I'm good.

I've still got my climbing shoes and my climbing chalk and I never go anymore and I've

cancelled my membership.

I did cancel my membership and I haven't been for well over a year because I had to sign a new waiver

But I've been twice in the last week. I've lost my chalk bag. I've seen it recently

Can't remember what I've seen it But I've can't remember, but I've got my shoes, that's all you need really.

How did you buy a special pair of shoes?

Yeah, I've got some climbing shoes because the ones that, I mean you can hire them from the bouldering center but like it's better to have your own.
