Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

Monday the 6th of July.

I've got neighbours moving all around me at the moment.

My next-door neighbours are moving because they've got two children now,

and they need somewhere bigger. And then one of my other

neighbours is moving out to rent the place out. So he's moving further out of town. So the money

is getting covers the mortgage. And so it's going to be an absolute fest of everybody moving at the

same time. And you think to yourself, it is the most stressful thing you can ever do moving.

It is, I think, next to bereavement, I don't think anything comes high.

But to be honest with you, even with bereavement, I think that moving is terribly stressful.

Bereavement, it's kind of final.

It is final and people have to live with it.

And it's a terrible thing and you don't

need to tell me. I mean, we spent most of our time at Breakspeer crematorium. So I can imagine exactly

how Simon Cowell is feeling at the moment. His mother Julie has passed away at the age of 89. So they've

cancelled the first batch of the X-Factor auditions and she died on Sunday, Cowell's brother,

Tony said very sad night, we will all miss mum so very much. She was the heart and soul of our family.

She was married to a music executive Eric who died in 1999, age 81. I thought she looked fantastic his mum. I really did. I mean,

she must have been extremely proud, and she had a fantastic innings. And, you know, you can only sort of offer sympathy and terribly sad.

But I bet she gave him some talkings to. I bet she would sit down with him, didn't she, Simon?
