Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Something Rimes with Purple. Thank you very

much for tuning in. I wasn't there last week because I didn't have the home recording kit

that I needed to speak with Jiles. And for obvious reasons we're not in the same place,

we are in our respective recording studios, make sure for recording studios and Jiles, you're

there aren't you? I'm quite excited about my studio. I've been busy setting it up. It's rather

splendid. It's in an upstairs room. This was my daughter's bedroom that I'm now in because it's still

not sort of soft furnishings around it, which I'm told are rather good. I've made it to look like a

one-show studio because I've been doing reports for the one-show on television. How have you been

doing your yoga? And I've been doing yoga as well. And when I put up sort of one-show things all

over the room and it's quite exciting in its own way. But I tell you what I wanted to ask you about

this week. Because this is amazing that we can speak to one another of this incredible newfangled

technology. You are there in Oxford, I'm in London. We're talking, I think one of the systems

we're using today is something called Zoom that I hadn't heard of until about two weeks ago.

Now I found on Mothering Sunday my whole family, we got together on Zoom, four different households,

four different pictures. We had the same meal, the same Mothering Sunday brunch.

I don't know if I'm correct the same meal, that's really so I've got this video.

And we chat at the same time. And we're meeting during the week in, not every night, you can have

you can have too much of a family, can't you? But we're meeting quite regularly to have a little

cocktail and it's proving fun. But I was thinking this is new. I mean, do you happen to know

where the word Zoom comes from? Well, I'm not sure about the name of the app, but I can tell you

Zoom itself is a bit like Zip. So dates from the 1920s and it's just sound moving through the air

rapidly. In fact, I think it was the Zip itself, the Zip, the fastener that appeared in about the 1920s.
