Ok. So this is all about Boris Johnsons Plan A, Plan B. Checking out my lateral flow test, a shoutout to Lighthouse Cafe, and the Tenancy Beat, and Gerry with Bonhoeffer.

This week.
As well as the normal stuff.
I go to the dentist during a pandemic. Here's how I got on....
Well nearly everything.
I made the mistake of commenting on something that became out of date before I even hit publish.
All the same slots as before, except I sound annoyed at the heat.
I start recording this while making toast, again.
It seems that my lunch times have got a little boring.
Anyway. This week I also chat about things like reading past Covid headlines (and therefore realising there is nothing exciting happening). Chat about FREE DENTIST, The Tenancy Beat of The Week, And Gerrys Thought for the Week.
This week I talk all things plastic bags, trains, and Covid. With The Tenancy Beat of The Week, and The Thought For The Week. Against the backdrop of me making lunch.
Its all opening up Covid wise.
We have a chat about that and what that means, Under Construction is back, We have The Tenancy Beat of The Week, and Gerrys Thought for the week
After I broke myself a little the other week, the podcast is back this week with information on...

Maybe I need more coffee.

So this one is a little different.
This is a bit of a collection of bits about our experience in having the vaccine.
Some weeks are more packed than others.
This isn't a packed week. But there are again some more positives here.
Its all about covid - but its not all that depressing. As weird as that sounds!

400 weeks into the time of Co-Vid19. Chris and Andy discuss "How to be Happy". With also the usual bits and pieces included. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com
So we're about 200 weeks into the time of Co-Vid19. Chris and Andy basically have a chat. We discus how we're doing, how we're trying to look after ourselves (Spoiler - not always well), and Chris drops a knowledge bomb. We finish with Gerrys Thought For The Week. We didn't forget about the Private Rent Info of The Week bit.... at all. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com
Yet everything does. Basically Andy gives a super quick rundown of what to look out for online from the YMCA
Where we welcome back Chris, and introduce two - yes TWO new slots. "Tenancy Thing of The Week!" and "Thought for the Week" Yes. Thats right. Its not just Andy and Chris rambling on...
The One Where Andy has a look at these news, and rounds up what can be found on Social Medias
In the light of Boris announcement last night, what does this mean for the YMCA? Also... how do you do a change of circumstances remotely? A special edition of 60 seconds from the shed...
We talk asthma, social distancing, getting food delivered, new look groups, and Disney movies...
Well. Chris and I did an amazing Podcast focusing on where we get our information from. And being careful to get information online from. I think we were reminding ourselves more than anything else. Sadly it didn’t record. So here’s 60 seconds of group news... and me saying sorry.
We’re all abit confused this week, amongst the confusion we discuss intern training, and celebrating people moving into Exwick!
This episode may be about saving.
But its also gone all the way around the internet to get here today. (Trust me)
