Hello and welcome to like-minded friends with me Susie Ruffle and me Tom Allen. Live from lockdown.

Live from lockdown and we've both got new microphones

which hopefully make us sound very sharp and crisp.

Like we're in your room.

Yeah, like we're in your head. Which is the way I suppose we are, you know, that's where the sound is right? Yeah, sure. That's very philosophical early doors, Tom. Is it philosophical?

Well, I don't, I don't, I wouldn't like to call myself a modern day philosopher, but...

Oh no, I think you should.

Yeah, you're right. I should know.

I'm probably the most profound person.

Anybody's ever met.

Yeah, I think so. Don't worry about it. Don't make a thing out of it.

Don't make a thing. I would hate to embarrass you about it. So, um,

How are you feeling today, Tom?? Well I have had a since the last couple of weeks have been very open about feeling quite

Emotional and quite down down why can't we say that why was I resisting saying? And I would say this week has turned a bit of a corner.

Oh good news. Yeah, well I mean you know but then it still kind of comes back in flashes but like on the whole I felt

like I've been a lot more up and a lot more able to cope in a way that I probably

wasn't coping that well so one or two weeks again.

So that's really great.

So I suppose it just goes to show that it pays off to do the exercise a bit and stuff.

How are you 5Ks going? I've been doing one every day. You're kidding me, Tom, that's so good. Well, I mean, is it though? I don't know if I'm doing it right. I'm probably doing it too slow. I get tired. I want to stop but I don't stop I run the whole time but that's that's the thing

Yeah, just don't stop that's what it is isn't it? Yeah, I guess I guess that's it

You've got to just don't stop believing. And also, I'm reading more self-help books.
