Is this time? Oh, it is 10.

Oh, this is so lovely.

This restaurant is so lovely. Thank you very much for having us Nook on 5. It's really, really lovely place to be. Lovely view. I'm actually fine with rain, so I don't, everyone's like, oh, the rain has spoiled the view. I think I quite like it. It would have distracted from us. Anyway, here we are, Giles.
