Morning, everybody.

Welcome along to your free podcast for today.

Tada!

How was your weekend?

Tada!

Actually, I was waiting for sort of the weekend to do something spectacular.

And to be honest with you, it didn't.

And I became quite lazy over this

weekend. It's not like me at all. I went out Saturday morning, up early, water in the basket,

they're coming to the end of their life. Because at the moment you move into September,

the temperature takes a downward spiral, and it means that things start looking a bit manky.

And so things have started looking a little bit manky. One of my neighbours

Betty, she got taken to hospital the other day. So we're keeping our fingers across that she's

okay because we love Betty. She's about 92, I think. 92. And I think she went at about 7.30 in the

morning. So we're waiting for an update on that. Car in today for an MOT and consultant on Friday. So it could be quite a nice week this week actually. Oh, and got to pay the VAT.

Boo. It's just all bills at the moment. Have you noticed? Just when you think, oh, look, I should be all right. And then all of a sudden you've got like three bills come in at the same time and you start thinking, oh dear, not sure about this.

Elton John delights beach goers as he gives a surprise performance of his and Dua Leapers new remix track, Coldheart, one on holiday in Cannes.

That's why they did the, I'm still waiting after all.

This time they did that on the closet in Can.
