Summary
Fi is still easing herself back onto solid foods, so she joins from home. She and Jane are preparing to shortly pop off to an awards luncheon — they're so showbiz... Before that, they chat house-wifery wisdom, emergency farmhouse loaves, AI, and luxury pet hotels.
Plus, Nancy the greyhound makes a brief surprise appearance!
We've announced our next book club pick! 'Just Kids' is by Patti Smith.

| 0:03.7 | I literally, I don't want you to. |
| 0:05.6 | Your weekend could be dicey. |
| 0:14.8 | Okay, Wednesday has dawned and I'm delighted to say that we can make contact with Fee. |
| 0:26.2 | She's not with me, but she's not far away. |
| 0:28.2 | As the crow flies, you're only about, is it about a mile away from where I am at London Bridge? |
| 0:33.1 | I think it's very close. It's about 1.2 miles, yeah. |
| 0:36.2 | Yeah, okay. |
| 0:36.9 | But due to traffic weirdness and the way that the tube lines run, it's about 750 miles in terms of trying to get there on a daily basis. |

| 1:31.1 | we've been talking haven't we about all these incredible establishments in the city these livery companies |
| 1:37.4 | and things like that so it looks I looked it up and it looks an amazing venue anyway bogg all that |
