0:05.9	It's one of my favourite months. It always feels like a month for kind of renewal. I think it's an academic year,
0:12.7	being wired into our brains from an early age, fresh notebooks and all that side of things.
0:18.1	It's also the month of my birthday when I got married and our first
0:24.0	daughter arrived on our first wedding anniversary. So it's always a special month for me. I always
