| 0:00.0 | A little bit of embarrassment yesterday in the swimming pool when I went swimming |
| 0:04.9 | because I got to the changing rooms and pulled out my swimsuit which I haven't worn for a |
| 0:09.7 | couple of weeks because I've been away and faffing around and catching up and it it perished. |
| 0:16.1 | You know how they go? The elastic goes. This is not like when you told us about the rolled-up |
| 0:21.6 | sock in your gusset. No, no, it's the same swimsuit but this swimsuit, the elastic's all gone or |
| 0:29.0 | whatever is it in it. I know how it all puckers and goes a bit see-through and usually on the sort |

| 1:36.0 | relationships, family and as always the challenges and joys of parenting teams. |
| 1:43.6 | Here we are again settling nicely into series seven of postcards from Midlife. I think you could |
| 1:49.9 | say our behinds are now firmly back in the saddle after the summer break. Well, I don't know how |
| 1:55.4 | firm yours is. Trish, mine's not firm. I've eaten a load of Cornish cream teas over the summer |
| 2:01.0 | but I am positively giddy with excitement. Some of the guests we've got lined up for our new |
