Hello, sorry to bother you. Can I ask you a slightly odd question?

I'm making a podcast called Strangers on a bench, where essentially I talk to people I don't know on benches for 10 or 15 minutes.

Are you up for that?

Do you want to give it a go? Yeah. Are you ready?

Sure.

Me and you're on a bench already going to happen once.

All right, all right.

In front of this crazy Thatch building.

Yeah. Yeah, it's a good place to... This is the time I've done the one in front of the Thatch building. All right. So we're breaking new ground already. Yeah, right. Is there a day of the week that you favor? Not Monday. Let's roll that one out.

Straight off. Ruled out Monday.

Yeah, yeah. Probably Sunday is nice, man.

What's wrong with Monday? Just...

Yeah. It's after the best day, so it's going to be a letdown, you know?

Very fair. Okay, let's go back to this Sunday of yours then.

Walk me through this Sunday from getting up, all the way through to going to bed. What is your ideal Sunday, you know, well lived?

Well, I have to admit, my wife brings me coffee in the morning to wake me up. But in fairness, I'm the one who sets the coffee up at night.

Okay, I'm so. It's a team effort in a way. Team effort, brings the coffee, wake up. But in fairness, I'm the one who sets the coffee up at night.

Okay, I was so. It's a team effort in a way. Team effort, brings the coffee, wake up, go straight to the porch, smoke some tobacco, do some writing, get ready for the day. What are you writing?

Philosophy. Writing a book on colonialism right now. then go to the river swim in the river

and then uh you know whatever errands I have you know mow the lawn all that American stuff

and uh maybe go ride my skateboard with my friends uh 5.30, something like that, and then make the coffee

for the next morning. What part of that day is most sacred to you? I think going to the water
