Great pod. Really enjoyed the Greek philosopher shit,will watch the video Wayne posted too.
Hope Charlie boy got rid of that big old weed on the patio 😂 I love a bit of power hosing,it addictive. I did all the front of my mums house last summer, it looked brand new.....completely fucked my wrists for a bit though😩
The sun was out in Scotland today wahey. I sat outside for a bit and managed to burn my legs....I never burn 🤷🏻♀️the chances are that today was our summer.....there will be a load of pink Scots roaming about tomorrow Xx
I’m vowing to sit out in the sun more and be on social media less. I have to wear sunscreen though even with weak sun as my fair skin burns just thinking about the sun. I’m hoping to get the Pool Boy to power hose my patio over the bank holiday. Not much patio left now as I had a conservatory built on it last summer. Having the conservatory built was a really good decision.
Your podcast has so quickly become the highlight of my day. I save it for bed time and a pot of mint tea and always feel cheered and inspired. So glad you're back.
I am put in mind of a particularly fine ditty penned by those Python boys many years ago, regarding the proclivities of those of a philosophical 'bent' for a drop of the hard stuff:
Dan Tay!!! What happened to you? I’ve missed you on Twatter and just asked Trudi the other day if she knew what had happened to you. Hope you are well. Xx
I am clearly not reading enough .. though I did lay in the sun for 4 hours with a free mind today, bliss. Perfectly blue sky with no little planes flying in parallel lines making criss cross patterns, then cloud within the hour. What’s that all about ? So inspired with Greek tales I made a Greek salad this evening . Happy to get my invitation today I cannot wait to meet you all love Suzanne x 🤍
It will be fun to meet so many people from the SubStack family at Abi’s birthday bash. I’ve been away on holiday for the last two shindigs so Abi is the only one I have met in person so far.
Sadly, I won’t be going😩. I need to go to Yorkshire at some point to visit the crematorium. Whether I chicken out again, 🤷♀️. I’ve also got the baton of hope event which I’ve been chosen for .
Trudi where in Yorkshire are you going? I’m in Yorkshire some of the time and some time in Richmond upon Thames. I’m South Yorkshire right on the north notts border. Anywhere near I’ll meet you x
I’ve been so busy (with work 🥱) that I haven’t caught up on TG and pods much. Getting round to it slowly.
Great to have you back Abs. I’m so glad you enjoyed your hols.
Has anyone ever read a book called Sophie’s world by jostein gaarder? It envelops philosophy into a story about a girl trying to work out the meaning of life. Interesting. Not the easiest book I’ve ever read but I ended up discounting Darwin’s theory of evolution after I’d read it.

I would never want a cold shower! It would be too much of a shock to the body.
You will really appreciate a clean patio for the summer and your bushes trimmed!
I am trying to spend less time on social media, it is so divisive. I should be making better use of my time for my well-being.
London Calling ......I just cannot listen to this any more, Toby Young raises my blood pressure. James is so calm😂

Great pod today Abs,
There’s so many Aristotle quotes that I love , from love, anger to friendship.
‘A friend to all is a friend to none ‘is a particular favourite and I 💯agree with it.

I am put in mind of a particularly fine ditty penned by those Python boys many years ago, regarding the proclivities of those of a philosophical 'bent' for a drop of the hard stuff:
'John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill,
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
Half a crate of whisky every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle, was a bugger for the bottle
And Hobbes was fond of his dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am"
👏👏👏
Hi Trudi.
Hope you are okay.
Best
Mark (Dan Tays Ghost - formerly on Tw@tter)
Dan Tay!!! What happened to you? I’ve missed you on Twatter and just asked Trudi the other day if she knew what had happened to you. Hope you are well. Xx
I am very well, thank you.
I hope you are, also.
Maybe I should have used 'Scarlet Pimpernel' as my 'handle'?
Was asking after you with Nat, hope you’re ok? I’m okay chick thanks. Get back on twatter, miss your stuff xx
Lol. Glad you’re ok. I miss your Tweets xx

You will all have a great time regardless 👍💖

Four hours in the sun with a free mind Suzanne,that does sound bliss 😍
Yes I look like a brown leather handbag haha just had a passion for a suntan my entire life x
Me too but I can’t lie in it like I used to. I get fidgety. 🤷🏻♀️
Loving the philosophy although it is the one subject that gave me Uni exam nightmares .. not without reason though 😅🍷🥂👯♀️🎉
Charlie sounds great ! A runaway from 60 minute makeover?! Anyone round my way makes at least a week out of any outside work..
Have a balmy evening one and all
💛🧡💛
Yes Emily Carver is too much with the perma grin , never did get why she stood in for Neil Oliver either 🤷♀️
I find Emily Carver irritating, both the smile and the voice. I never realised that she was with Patrick Christys🤷♀️
Nor me! Another unlikely pairing!
