She dragged you to a mate house on the outskirts of the city, and you actually have a great time.

You connect with some new people, like Isaac, and decide to go to the gallery in the city centre,

And bit by bit, the world starts to feel so full of possibilities and you think what if I hadn't

basically you know sometimes you start an episode by saying I've just had a perfect cup of tea right?

Yeah. And I always am very envious and occasionally like last few I've had a good run this week I've had about two or

three incidents of what I would class as close to a perfect cup of tea very hard to

find very hard to even explain. It just is what it is. I come to you today having just

finished drinking an unsatisfactory cup of tea.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, where?
