around. I think the first like seven or eight times

it was charming and now it's just intensely annoying, just to, to, to, and it's actually beginning

2:07.8

to look like it's a staged event now. But hopefully, it's not. It's not. Johnny was saying it's

2:15.8

a international book day and we're all very disappointed that his two

kids aren't setting off for the day dressed as upside down pyramids, but they've gone down
