It's Wednesday the 23rd of August 2017. I'm Martin yelling. He's Tom Williams. This is

Plus there's the usual rate you run, Kit-around-a-world listener podium,

launch pad and your only UK opportunity to see the

wonderful skid row marathon documentary. Tom Williams you're back in the room.

How you doing stranger? Well I know we haven't spoken for two weeks. We haven't had the show together for two weeks. Yeah. No, it's been like sleeping in the bed with somebody else.

Yeah, I've been good. I've had a great time camping. The weather was mixed, which didn't really matter.

Kids don't care, do they. Kids genuinely do not care what the weather's like.

That actually, yeah, you're right.

It's a good observation because I cared probably too much.

Yeah.

Whilst I was away camping, getting up grumbling that the weather was dull yet again.

But no, you're right, the kids don't. Kids are out the door, aren't kids are out the door aren't they open the

door out they go muddy wet mmm we're a good lesson for all of us I managed to sneak

in a couple of nice sessions actually while I was in the lakes tell you what

because we had a discussion before you went in the lakes. I tell you what. Did you run?

Because we had a discussion before you went to the lakes about the fantastic area you were staying in.

And I suggested you went off exploring the hills.
