The

The Welcome back to Nomad Podcast. I'm your host Tim Nash, and this is your other host. It's Joy Brooks.

Hello. How does the beloved listener find you today, Joy, sheltering under a heated blanket?

I do have the blanket on. It's not currently heating, though, because, yeah, the temperature's not too bad here.

So, yeah, I'm doing okay. I don't wish to kick things off being too negative but I have before recording this I did have a

particularly unsatisfactory apple oh yeah you know the flowery ones that's such a disappointment

isn't it so disappointing because it was red and shiny.

Yeah.

Looked like it was going to be crisp and tangy, but no, it was flowery.

And yeah, the only other thing I can compare it to is, and if you're in a cat, you'll

understand this, is when a cat walks past and you put your hand down to stroke it, and

somehow it's in that

don't touch me, I'm too good for you mood. And it just dips its back ever so slightly so

you feel the top of its fur but you don't actually get a stroke. And honestly, it's that same

ha ha, something's incomplete and I don't know how to solve it. It's that same feeling.

Yeah, I can't relate

to that, but I can definitely relate to the apple because sometimes you bite into an apple and it's

just almost overwhelming, isn't it? The crunchiness and the sweetness. I had an apple just a couple

of days ago and it was almost too much. It was so delicious. And then other times you buy it into it and it just like falls apart, doesn't it?

And you're just like, oh no.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't rate apples, even a good apple.
