Greetings. Hello, welcome Thomas Sapiens. It's Chris Sweeney here. Coming to you from a very bucolic setting.

Look at me. Got some tulips behind me. I'm out and about today. How are we all?

Things are good here. I am sitting in the sunshine and it's been a long bank holiday. This is coming out a little late, isn't it? I'm sorry about that, everybody.

Do you know what I did? I had a mermaid birthday party for my daughter. So we had an aerial mermaid come along. This is Peggy who was, it was her fourth birthday.

And she thought it was real. No, well, actually, sorry, that's completely untrue.

I think the vibe is you're meant to think the mermaid is real,

but she said to me, when she got home,

this is Peggy not the mermaid.

She said, Daddy, did you see her feet? And I was like, yeah, she goes, see, I knew

she was human. So there was no pulling wool over that girl's eyes. But it was very sweet. And

everyone came in mermaid outfits. And naturally as a gay man, I went to town on the party. We did,

I got shells, I scattered them over the tables,

I got, you know, bits of glass that have gone soft from being in the sea, got that, got all these

sparkly bits and bits of net, put them over the table, like brown net. Did people tell me

I've gone too far? Maybe. Did I listen? No. So that was this weekend's excitement.

And then what else we've got to tell you? Well, we're here to talk about various things, but one of them is the homo sapiens dog walk.

Now, because I am silly.

When I said the date, I hadn't actually realized it's the same date as Mighty Hoopler, but that

doesn't matter.

But if anyone was thinking of going to Hoopla and the Dog Walk, it's going to be tricky.

But the dog walk is Saturday the 30th of May. Lots of you signed up so I presume that means

you're not going to Hoopla. I'm not going to Hoopla either. I wish I was. Also the line-up looks
