It's a sad day, listeners. A sad day and in some ways a very happy day for me anyway, because this is our last

episode before we take a bit of a summer break. You sound like you need one, Dominic. Yeah, I do. I don't know

why. I guess it's getting back to normal with things actually happening in life and I'm finding it

really exhausting. You've actually got a job again. I do. I actually have a job and I'm actually in London right now, which is really nice. I can't believe I managed to make it here.

and that we can celebrate each other's cultures.

So we're going to be creating a beautiful piece of audio

that's like a chain letter that connects us from one country to another,

each one being a little story describing what it is that they love about something from another country. It maybe sounds a

little bit twee. Well, it doesn't have to be twee. It might be a story about something that,

I don't know, maybe you moved to a country and it was really hard and annoying at first, but then you

found something that was less hard and annoying. So if you happen to have one of these stories

about something that you love
