Hello there listeners how are you me here Mike Bennett and as you can probably hear I'm

rather stuffed up in the nose department I've got allergies and I don't know what it is you

know it's a sort of a nose, sneezy, eye watery type

allergy. I've eliminated everything it could possibly be except the dogs. I kind of draw the line eliminating the dogs as you can understand

But yeah, that's all I can think it is you know so we got you know like air filters these Happer air filters, got one upstairs, one downstairs, were in a way all the time.

They seem to have made a difference, but I have no idea what they're filtering out,

dog, whatever.

And I contacted my GP.

I saw my GP and he did something called a Rast test,

took a blood sample and, you know, to send off for a Rast test. but that was weeks and weeks and weeks ago and I still haven't heard back and I called him up and I said what's the problem and he said

oh they'd only do it twice a month well it's been nearly a month now and I've still not heard from them so

Tut-tut I don't know you know I just have to keep taking sort of decongestions and the like

Oh dear, oh dear poor me and my stuffed up hooter but yeah so what's

going on it's been a while since I put a podcast out in the free podcast feed certainly.

And I think that's mostly because there hasn't been a great deal happening in my life.

And nor with the television series, unfortunately,

the writers strike, then the actors strike

ground all that to a halt you know it's just building up momentum to start

pitching you know the the people involved in the show were going to pitch it, the actors, the writer,

the producers from the heads of drama from the companies involved, and then the strikes kicked in and that was that.

So now, now that the strikes are over

hoo-saa they're kind of getting ready to get back to it but of course no sooner do they do that
