Morning, everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

It is Monday the 17th of February.

And as I said at the beginning of the show, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Yesterday, I've had so many messages from people saying that they went home with a smile on their face.

This is, we did the show yesterday.

And it went very well, actually.

I overran, as per usual.

I can't help her.

You know, one of these things...

I mean, I couldn't see the clock, to be brutally honest with you.

There was Heather, our nurse. I mean, it had taken her about two days to get down in the storm and all that dreadful bad weather. I mean, it was just terrible.

no, I haven't got the faintest idea what I'm going to say. A bit like this programme. You don't sort of sit down and go,

I shall start off by talking about certain and I shall move up.
