Hello and welcome to Series 4 episode 9 of Out with Susie Ruffle. Bloody hell I've been doing this a long time now haven't I? That's a lot of episodes.

A lot of episodes. Thanks for still being here with me.

I hope you're having a good week.

I've had that cold that's not COVID for nine days

and I feel, I felt pretty horrific earlier in the week. I'm starting to feel a bit better now and I've

had to work a week as well so I've now got some time off so I will have a chance to

recoup and feel better. I feel like everyone's had it so if you've had it I know how you feel

I hope you're feeling better. We've got a brilliant conversation coming up today.

Oh David Carlisle who I fell in love with with it's a sin I mean I'm going to be honest with you I fell in love with, but it's a sin.

I mean, I'm going to be honest with you,

I fell in love with him during this conversation as well.

I better let Alice know.

Didn't we have a lovely time chatting?

I really hope that you enjoy this conversation

as much as I did having it.

But before that we as always we have our listener emails which are brilliant.

Oh there's one more thing that I want to say.

So many of you have come to my tour shows. So many people have waited behind and said hello and done a quick photo and

mentioned that they like the podcast people when I did the Devon Dorset run, Redding last week. I met some gorgeous people.

It really means a lot to me that you all enjoy the podcast so much and that you'll come along and support my stand up as well.

So thank you so much for that.

I've got two more tour shows left.
