0:00.0 | These are crazy times. Everybody's apart and personally I miss squeezing people. I'm physically seeing people but our sponsors on post still give you loads of ways to stay connected. So for that I am very thankful. |
0:17.7 | My neighbours, Tony and Nora, they drop in biscuits and bread and treats for us. |
0:23.5 | And love is blind on Netflix. |
0:25.6 | It's so shameless. |
0:26.8 | It's actually delicious. |
0:29.2 | There are a million things that I'm thankful for today, but what is my guest thankful for? |
0:35.3 | From a young age on, I wasn't into superpowers. I really was. Like, I want to change the world. |

1:36.5 | a slap in the face you know in a good way if you're tempted by what whim has to say and what he |
1:43.2 | does and i have been doing the cold |
1:44.4 | shares myself and I'm I'm quite partial. The smart thing to do is to consult your doctor. If there |
1:50.6 | are any worries, it may not be for everybody. And if you're one of those people who likes to play |
