Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to jasonnew Land dot com. My name
0:08
Speaker 1: is Jason new Land. This is Whisper Wednesday. Let me
0:19
Speaker 1: boy to sleep, and Vinnie has just awoken at seven
0:27
Speaker 1: in the morning on I think Wednesday, the second of
0:38
Speaker 1: July two thousand and twenty five. I've just heard him.
0:49
Speaker 1: I've heard his ears flap. However, he's not coming here yet.
1:00
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just flushed the toilets. Maybe that
1:08
Speaker 1: disrupted his sleep. Anyway, Only listen when you can safely
1:16
Speaker 1: close your eyes. It's quite warm already. It's supposed to
1:23
Speaker 1: be well according to people that told me, there should
1:31
Speaker 1: be some rain today, but it looks like it's going
1:39
Speaker 1: to be. If it does rain, it's going to be
1:41
Speaker 1: a warm, rainy day. So I'm off to see Uncle
1:50
Speaker 1: Sausages again. I'm a neighbor. Uncle Sausages, That's what Vinnie
1:55
Speaker 1: calls him. I saw him Monday Tuesday, because I'm seeing
2:04
Speaker 1: him today and I'll probably see him tomorrow and Friday
2:09
Speaker 1: as well. I was hoping to try and just see
2:16
Speaker 1: him on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, but kind of needs me
2:21
Speaker 1: to visit a bit more often, so I'll continue to
2:25
Speaker 1: do that with the hope of that, maybe he'll be
2:31
Speaker 1: able to go home or come home so he lives
2:35
Speaker 1: opposite me. But I really don't know. I genuinely have
2:44
Speaker 1: a zero idea if he'll be allowed to come home.
2:52
Speaker 1: When I say aloud, of course he can do what
2:54
Speaker 1: he wants. He's mobile, so he can physically leave if
2:59
Speaker 1: he wanted to. But that possibly wouldn't be a good idea.
3:09
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can hear that. Hinnie's just
3:12
Speaker 1: climbed onto the sofa with me after after chasing a
3:20
Speaker 1: fly for a little bit. Now Vinnie is going to
3:27
Speaker 1: stay with a neighbor, So quarter to nine I'm going
3:32
Speaker 1: to take him to a neighbor for him to stay
3:36
Speaker 1: there for the day, well for a few hours, and
3:42
Speaker 1: then I've got a taxi book four between nine and
3:48
Speaker 1: nine point fifteen to go to the hospital. And Uncle's
3:55
Speaker 1: Sausages has got making weird noises. Uncle Sausages is having scared.
4:06
Speaker 1: He's having a doctor come around to tell him, hopefully
4:13
Speaker 1: some kind of treatment plan, cause he's he's in limbo
4:18
Speaker 1: at the moment. He's not really sure what's going on this.
4:24
Speaker 1: He's been in there since Friday last week or the
4:30
Speaker 1: week before last, so Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Juesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
4:39
Speaker 1: and Wednesday. So this is the thirteenth day he's been there.
4:45
Speaker 1: And other than giving him medication to reduce the ammonia
4:51
Speaker 1: in his blood to stop him from being so yellow
4:57
Speaker 1: or cerebulu, cerebellum or where they call it, it's I
5:04
Speaker 1: don't think he's on any other medication. And he said
5:08
Speaker 1: he stopped having that drink as well, so he's not
5:10
Speaker 1: stopped having that medication constantly getting monitored, constant blood tests.
5:20
Speaker 1: He's not He's not wired up to any kind of
5:24
Speaker 1: machine or anything to check his vitals. So you know,
5:31
Speaker 1: they do come around and do his blood pressure and
5:34
Speaker 1: stuff like that. He was on a drip for a
5:39
Speaker 1: short while before his full body scan because he was
5:47
Speaker 1: kneel by mouth so it's so hot. They had to
5:51
Speaker 1: get liquid into his body. Hey, don't be parking, many,
5:58
Speaker 1: don't be barking. It's too early. There's someone in the garden.
6:06
Speaker 1: I hope that's not the builders. That's way too early
6:11
Speaker 1: for them to be coming here and climbing on the roof.
6:14
Speaker 1: Seven in the morning. Oh, yesterday, I heard one of
6:21
Speaker 1: the builders that basically the scaffolding outside by well outside
6:29
Speaker 1: my windows, which leads to the roof. I didn't realize
6:37
Speaker 1: until I got home yesterday afternoon. I can't open my windows.
6:47
Speaker 1: The scaffoldings so close to my windows. I can't actually
6:51
Speaker 1: open them. I can put them on a latch, you know,
6:57
Speaker 1: so they're open kind of a crack. I can't open
7:00
Speaker 1: them up to let any air in wrong time of
7:05
Speaker 1: the year for that. Wow, So it's a bit of
7:11
Speaker 1: a sweat box in here. In the bedroom, I can
7:15
Speaker 1: open the top window, so I don't know how they
7:18
Speaker 1: managed to do it, but the living room can't open
7:22
Speaker 1: any of the windows. So I'm hoping that they'll be
7:29
Speaker 1: finished fairly greatly because I don't know. Just I don't
7:39
Speaker 1: want to be sitting in here not being able to
7:41
Speaker 1: open the windows. I open the windows in the winter
7:45
Speaker 1: all year round. My windows are open, and now I
7:49
Speaker 1: can't open them. I think I might have talked enough
7:54
Speaker 1: about not being able to open my windows. I'm not
7:58
Speaker 1: really sure what else do I add? And b B so, yeah,
8:07
Speaker 1: I thin he's gonna stay with a neighbor, and then
8:15
Speaker 1: I'm I'll head up to the hospital and taxis. I
8:19
Speaker 1: got that booked. I couldn't get an earlier taxi because
8:27
Speaker 1: there's is the school run is, so there's no no
8:33
Speaker 1: taxis between pretty much seven and nine. And there was
8:38
Speaker 1: no reason I couldn't go there too early because I've
8:42
Speaker 1: been waiting around for hours and hours and getting there
8:47
Speaker 1: at seven. It's a little bit too early because they
8:52
Speaker 1: were all getting ready and the nurses are going around
8:55
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of in the way a little bit
8:59
Speaker 1: and having their breakfast, and yeah, I think the I
9:05
Speaker 1: have got there around eight, just after eight before that
9:10
Speaker 1: was a one off time, and that was a bit
9:13
Speaker 1: too early, but that was just because one of my
9:18
Speaker 1: neighbors gave me a left and he left half seven,
9:22
Speaker 1: dropped off his daughter at school and his wife at work,
9:28
Speaker 1: and then dropped me off at the hospital. So by
9:32
Speaker 1: the time I got to the ward, it was about
9:34
Speaker 1: quarter past eight, maybe a little bit later, but it
9:41
Speaker 1: was still a bit too early. I think anything before
9:46
Speaker 1: nine is a little bit, you know, plus plus plus
9:51
Speaker 1: plus plus plus. There is the visiting hours of eleven
9:58
Speaker 1: o'clock onwards in that ward, so I shouldn't really even
10:03
Speaker 1: be in there before eleven o'clock. But no one says
10:07
Speaker 1: anything to me. I think.
10:14
Speaker 2: That was a weird.
10:15
Speaker 1: I think I just spoke through my nose then I
10:18
Speaker 1: could hear my knees or cavity.
10:22
Speaker 2: It's weird.
10:24
Speaker 1: I think in a ward like that, visiting ours don't
10:28
Speaker 1: really seem to apply so much. You know, if it
10:33
Speaker 1: was a ward for people with broken bones or people
10:40
Speaker 1: are that their appendix out things like that basic quite simple.
10:48
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, normal operations where the person
10:55
Speaker 1: is going to be fine and recover normally, like you know,
10:59
Speaker 1: then I suppose the visiting hours a bit more strict.
11:09
Speaker 1: But here in the Carn ward the Uncle Sausages is in.
11:15
Speaker 1: It's they're more flexible. I feel like I've got to
11:21
Speaker 1: know some of the staff now because I've been in
11:24
Speaker 1: there nearly every day since he got in Friday, Saturday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
11:40
Speaker 1: So there's will be the eleventh day that I've gone
11:43
Speaker 1: in there. I did have the weekend off last weekend. Fridayday,
11:48
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday Sunday is pretty much a no go
11:56
Speaker 1: unless I can taxi, I can't get in there, and
12:00
Speaker 1: I have tried to get the buses when I can,
12:06
Speaker 1: and might attempt to get the bus back. You know,
12:11
Speaker 1: two Texas a day is way too expensive, although I
12:17
Speaker 1: have asked. I called up Universal Credit yesterday to see
12:22
Speaker 1: about getting an advanced payment and they said what's it for?
12:27
Speaker 1: I said, taxis, Baby, it's for taxis and she said
12:34
Speaker 1: what do you mean? I said, okay, it's stay kind
12:41
Speaker 1: of like they take you to places, phone them up
12:44
Speaker 1: and they come and click picked you up. I know
12:47
Speaker 1: what taxis means, but what would you why why you can?
12:52
Speaker 1: Why why are you get so many taxis? And I
12:55
Speaker 1: said it's because of Uncle sausages. She said, oh okay,
13:02
Speaker 1: and then the phone cut off and I thought, oh,
13:08
Speaker 1: you've got me back. She didn't, didn't call me back.
13:16
Speaker 1: And the reason I didn't phone back is because firstly,
13:20
Speaker 1: I'd already been on a phone for way too long waiting,
13:29
Speaker 1: you know. Secondly, the chance to me getting the same
13:33
Speaker 1: person is propectically non existent, so I'd have to go
13:37
Speaker 1: for the whole thing again. So what I did is
13:43
Speaker 1: I went online and I left her. They call it
13:47
Speaker 1: like a journal entry, where I just typed in that
13:51
Speaker 1: I spoke to someone They hadn't left a note or
13:55
Speaker 1: anything on the system, which is I don't know if
13:59
Speaker 1: that's just the way are but I was always taught
14:02
Speaker 1: when I worked in a call center, I should pay
14:05
Speaker 1: sixty was what were they doing? Isn't it when you
14:09
Speaker 1: when you work in a call center and a customer
14:11
Speaker 1: phones up? But now why are they called? When they called?
14:16
Speaker 1: Why they called and what the outcome of the call was?
14:25
Speaker 1: You know, even if it's a case of our customer
14:28
Speaker 1: card wanted to speak to renewals, transferred them to renewals. Yeah,
14:35
Speaker 1: just something like that, just to keep a track. It's
14:39
Speaker 1: just good, good customer service. I would argue. I wouldn't argue,
14:44
Speaker 1: but I would say, but I don't know if they're
14:50
Speaker 1: going to respond. It seemed really weird because it says
14:56
Speaker 1: if you want an advanced payment, click unaclicked, and it's big,
15:05
Speaker 1: a big writing came on a screen saying no way,
15:09
Speaker 1: go away, you're not having nothing. They center. There was
15:16
Speaker 1: like a drop down list of things, and not one
15:20
Speaker 1: of them was advanced payments. I think the way they
15:25
Speaker 1: work it out if you do get one is you
15:31
Speaker 1: pay ten percent back over the year, so for ten months.
15:37
Speaker 1: So if you borrow, I guess three hundred pounds, you
15:42
Speaker 1: pay thirty pounds a month back for ten months, so
15:49
Speaker 1: just see. I don't know if they're going to get
15:51
Speaker 1: back to me, but I kind of need to plan
15:54
Speaker 1: ahead a bit now because I don't know how long
15:59
Speaker 1: Uncle Sausages is going to be in there, and of
16:03
Speaker 1: what he gone through, my life's savings getting backward and
16:07
Speaker 1: forward over the last ten days, So now kind of
16:13
Speaker 1: have to be a bit strategic. So yeah, that's my
16:21
Speaker 1: planned day to day I get there, hopefully I can
16:28
Speaker 1: sit with him while the doctor talks to him and
16:31
Speaker 1: tells him how they're hoping to proceed medically, and that
16:42
Speaker 1: way I can have more of an understanding and perhaps
16:47
Speaker 1: I can explain it better to Uncle's Sausages because he
16:51
Speaker 1: doesn't always. And this is not criticism, I don't think
16:56
Speaker 1: he understands always what they're selling and saying to him.
17:01
Speaker 1: And I think part of that is overwhelmed, A huge
17:08
Speaker 1: part of it. He's overwhelmed. And you can't blame him.
17:13
Speaker 1: You know, he's never been in hospital before, never been
17:17
Speaker 1: unwell before in his life, doesn't even have a doctor.
17:22
Speaker 1: He's not registered with a doctor's surgery. He's seventy eight
17:28
Speaker 1: years nearly and he's been tip top health, so this
17:34
Speaker 1: is I don't think he is. I don't think anyone
17:41
Speaker 1: in that situation could really fully grasp what's going on.
17:48
Speaker 1: It's a confused, very confusing time. I find it confusing,
17:54
Speaker 1: is yeah, one you I find a lot of things confusing.
18:03
Speaker 1: I can't think of anything offhand, but they're surely are
18:06
Speaker 1: some stuff. So that's my plan. Yesterday I went. I
18:23
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna go. Actually I went Monday. I told him
18:28
Speaker 1: that I was gonna visit Wednesday, but i'd give him
18:31
Speaker 1: a call Tuesday. He called him and he said he'd
18:39
Speaker 1: seen a doctor and he wasn't very happy. And I said,
18:44
Speaker 1: you want me to come, but you want me to
18:46
Speaker 1: come in? And he said that's something only you can decide.
18:52
Speaker 1: So I thought that was a yes, wasn't it. Also
18:58
Speaker 1: he was a bit he felt a bit low because
19:00
Speaker 1: his his neighbor, the man in the bed next to him,
19:05
Speaker 1: had left. So it's spent spent a week with this man.
19:10
Speaker 1: They got to know each other quite well, and suddenly
19:14
Speaker 1: he had no one to talk to. So it's kind
19:18
Speaker 1: of a little bit. I think he felt a little
19:22
Speaker 1: bit lonely. Although he does have Dennis on the TV now,
19:28
Speaker 1: so that's that's bright. Has perked him up a little bit.
19:33
Speaker 1: For the first week, he didn't watch any television, and
19:38
Speaker 1: I kept saying, what don't you stick the TV on,
19:43
Speaker 1: just have it in the background, don't even have to
19:45
Speaker 1: have the sound up. So there's plenty of sports on
19:49
Speaker 1: normal TV, especially on the weekend, but he said no, no, no,
19:54
Speaker 1: no no. And when I did eventually just turn it
19:59
Speaker 1: on a couple of days ago, I think Monday, he
20:04
Speaker 1: was really surprised at how good the picture was and
20:09
Speaker 1: Wimbledon had just started the way that's tennis just started
20:14
Speaker 1: on Monday, and I think it's I think it's a
20:22
Speaker 1: pleasant distraction. So when I visited him yesterday he was
20:27
Speaker 1: half asleep. He was listening to because I think I
20:34
Speaker 1: got to him probably abound. I lived to hear at midday,
20:40
Speaker 1: so I got there probably twenty to one. After twenty
20:45
Speaker 1: to one, he was half asleep, but he was listening
20:49
Speaker 1: to the to the tennis. So I think for him
20:57
Speaker 1: listening to sport or some kind of sporting activity, whether
21:02
Speaker 1: it's football, rugby, cricket, Dennis, it relaxes him and it
21:11
Speaker 1: feels nice and I just I just stood there and
21:21
Speaker 1: steared him for a while, made him jump when he
21:24
Speaker 1: looked up. It was worth it. I think he was
21:30
Speaker 1: surprised to see me, even though I did sellimos on
21:33
Speaker 1: my way. He seems to be talking a lot quieter
21:39
Speaker 1: as well, and slower. I don't know quite why that is.
21:51
Speaker 1: He didn't want to go out yesterday, so that's the
21:55
Speaker 1: first time that he didn't want to go out for
21:59
Speaker 1: a walk and that, you know, come out into the sunshine.
22:05
Speaker 1: Although I did manage to get him what he's been
22:07
Speaker 1: craving for a few days. That's ice. When I say ice,
22:16
Speaker 1: I'm talking about ice. Ice, not not ice as in
22:22
Speaker 1: removing people that have lived here in their whole lives.
22:26
Speaker 1: I'm talking about ice as in frozen water. So he
22:34
Speaker 1: was on about get some some water cocka some water,
22:40
Speaker 1: frozen frozen water. I said, you mean ice. He said, yeah,
22:46
Speaker 1: frozen water. And I said, well, I can get you
22:52
Speaker 1: some of that. He said, we need to get a
22:55
Speaker 1: flask of flowers. I said why. He said that keep
23:00
Speaker 1: the ice frozen for longer. I thought to myself, well,
23:08
Speaker 1: I don't have a flask. I can't be trusted with flasks.
23:16
Speaker 1: That sounds strange. Doesn't it. But I don't think I've
23:22
Speaker 1: ever had a flask where I didn't break it. I
23:26
Speaker 1: don't know why. I just have a habit of dropping
23:28
Speaker 1: flasks and breaking the inside bit which did you or
23:32
Speaker 1: the glass bit inside. Although it's been a little while.
23:39
Speaker 1: I think the last time I had a flask was
23:44
Speaker 1: two thousand and five, probably two thousand and four, two
23:50
Speaker 1: thousand and five, Yeah, maybe later. Maybe it's been a while.
24:09
Speaker 1: So what I did is I said to you know,
24:14
Speaker 1: you can just get a cold drink from Costa. I'll
24:19
Speaker 1: get you a bottle of coke and it will be
24:21
Speaker 1: colder being a fridge. So I did that the day
24:26
Speaker 1: before and then he said if I want some ice.
24:32
Speaker 1: I was just pleased and stop saying frozen water. So
24:37
Speaker 1: you want some ice? He said, yeah, I want some ice.
24:42
Speaker 1: So what I did is I went downstairs got him
24:46
Speaker 1: another bottle of coke from Costa. Him from the big
24:54
Speaker 1: because there's a big cost well, a larger Costa with seeds,
24:58
Speaker 1: and there's a smaller cost which is closer to his ward.
25:02
Speaker 1: We have no seats. It's just a takeaway. So I
25:08
Speaker 1: go into the larger Costa. I get myself a bottle
25:11
Speaker 1: of Van get him a bottle of coke, and I
25:15
Speaker 1: get myself a chocolate brownie because I'm worth it. And
25:24
Speaker 1: I then walk up to the other costa and there's
25:31
Speaker 1: a customer there at the till and the man serving
25:35
Speaker 1: as back to me, and he was doing I don't
25:39
Speaker 1: make in a coffee, I suppose, so I'm kind of
25:43
Speaker 1: hofering behind the lady who's being served. And then another
25:49
Speaker 1: lady comes in and he says, there is like a
25:53
Speaker 1: place where you queue, and she said, are you being
25:56
Speaker 1: served or you queueing? I said, I am not being served,
26:03
Speaker 1: but I'm not really cueing. But I am queuing, but
26:06
Speaker 1: I'm not really culling. And she said to me, what
26:10
Speaker 1: you mean. I said, well, if I get in a
26:14
Speaker 1: queue there, the man who's got his back face to
26:17
Speaker 1: us might think that I'm that I've just got the
26:22
Speaker 1: items out of the fridge and try and charge me
26:25
Speaker 1: for this stuff. But I've already bought it at the
26:28
Speaker 1: other costa. And she said, it's okay, why are you
26:35
Speaker 1: waiting it? And I said, I'm going to see if
26:38
Speaker 1: I can get some ice. She said, I see, I said, yeah, ice.
26:52
Speaker 1: I thought she might correct me by saying frozen water,
26:55
Speaker 1: because she didn't, so that was good frozen broken water.
27:00
Speaker 1: So I personally don't drink ice. I never have ice
27:08
Speaker 1: ever because ice it's tap water and I don't drink tapwater.
27:16
Speaker 1: So I don't never have ice in anything apart from
27:21
Speaker 1: when I do. But generally, no, I'm not saying I've
27:28
Speaker 1: never had eyes, because I have. And if I reckon
27:36
Speaker 1: in this weather, I probably would have ice if I
27:39
Speaker 1: was if I was sitting outside a pub, for example,
27:45
Speaker 1: I might have ice in the glass because of the heat.
27:51
Speaker 1: But generally I don't have ice. But the ice wasn't
27:58
Speaker 1: for me anyway. And the man turns around. He finishes
28:06
Speaker 1: serving the lady that was already there, so it's just
28:10
Speaker 1: me and the other lady who's waiting in a queue.
28:13
Speaker 1: So I'm standing in the queue now. And he said
28:18
Speaker 1: anything else and I said no, no, wait, wait, wait wait.
28:21
Speaker 1: He said, what do you mean wait? I said, wait
28:24
Speaker 1: a second, I need to just explain. He said, no
28:27
Speaker 1: you wait. I said wow. He said, I don't know.
28:32
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what's going on. I said, it's fine.
28:38
Speaker 1: These two bottles, the Fanta and the coke. I already
28:41
Speaker 1: purchased them from the other Costa up there. He said, okay.
28:46
Speaker 1: He looked very confused. He said, what about the chocolate brownie?
28:53
Speaker 1: I said, that's in my pocket. You can't even see it.
28:57
Speaker 1: He said, oh, fair enough, And he said, well, how
29:01
Speaker 1: can I help? I said, I was wondering, just wondering.
29:06
Speaker 1: Say no if you like. He said, I will say
29:10
Speaker 1: no if I like. I've got complete control of what
29:14
Speaker 1: I say. I said, okay, okay, shirty. He just you know,
29:21
Speaker 1: I'm just asking, is there any chance I can get
29:27
Speaker 1: some ice in a cup? And he looked at me
29:32
Speaker 1: and I said that's the end of the sentence. There
29:37
Speaker 1: was nothing else that was it. Can I get some
29:40
Speaker 1: ice in a cup? Please? I don't know what else
29:47
Speaker 1: he expected me to say. Did he expect a song,
29:51
Speaker 1: I don't know, pull out a piece of paper and
29:56
Speaker 1: start reciting poetry. I don't know what he expected. And
30:02
Speaker 1: he said sure, So he went and got some eyes
30:06
Speaker 1: and I said, it's it's for it's for a patient.
30:09
Speaker 1: I think I said it's for a customer. Then I
30:12
Speaker 1: realized that hospitals don't they call them patients, not customers,
30:16
Speaker 1: don't they I suppose customers would be a private hospital,
30:21
Speaker 1: wouldn't it they call them customers? And he said, fine,
30:27
Speaker 1: And isn't it Do you think it's weird? Right? Do
30:31
Speaker 1: you know when you see someone every day but you
30:35
Speaker 1: don't know them, you don't know anything about them. And
30:42
Speaker 1: that's what is going on with this bloke in the coster.
30:46
Speaker 1: I've seen him nearly every day for the last two weeks, nearly,
30:54
Speaker 1: well yeah, it's nearly getting onto two weeks, and I
31:04
Speaker 1: feel like I know him a little bit. I don't.
31:06
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about him, but just it's weird,
31:11
Speaker 1: and it's a little bit like people in the street
31:14
Speaker 1: I've seen for years and years heading towards work, walking
31:22
Speaker 1: through the park, getting ready in their bathroom. I mean, okay,
31:30
Speaker 1: obviously that involves climbing a tree, but I can't. I
31:35
Speaker 1: just see people doing things that are normal, and I kind
31:39
Speaker 1: of feel like I know them a bit, but I don't.
31:45
Speaker 1: I don't know who they are, don't know anything about them.
31:50
Speaker 1: I noticed that one there, I was going to work
31:53
Speaker 1: on a bus and I started to nod to people
31:57
Speaker 1: because it was the same people the same time every day.
32:04
Speaker 1: Almost felt like I knew them. And I remember saying
32:11
Speaker 1: to someone once, like after about six months of doing this,
32:16
Speaker 1: I said to her you know, I feel like I
32:19
Speaker 1: know you now seeing you every day on the bus.
32:23
Speaker 1: She said, yeah, you should do. I work at your place,
32:30
Speaker 1: literally sit opposite you on the desk. I said, oh,
32:36
Speaker 1: for you look familiar. She just looked different. You look
32:42
Speaker 1: different when you're at the desk and what you do
32:44
Speaker 1: when you're outside. She said, I know because I'm wearing
32:47
Speaker 1: a coat now. And she is kind of strange without
32:53
Speaker 1: being rude. She used to wear a kin costume of work.
32:59
Speaker 1: No one knew why, but it didn't seem. It didn't
33:08
Speaker 1: seem to affect her work because she was on the
33:11
Speaker 1: phones so no one could see her when the management
33:16
Speaker 1: came around, you know, from the head office. She was
33:20
Speaker 1: just like all the weird people that dressed a bit strange,
33:24
Speaker 1: were like or acted a bit weird, were put into
33:28
Speaker 1: it like a room, just hidden away. I looked forward
33:34
Speaker 1: to those days because it was a nice break from working.
33:38
Speaker 1: Me and those other people would just sit around chatting.
33:41
Speaker 1: And never got around to asking her about the Kim costume.
33:51
Speaker 1: But the blood dressed as a a pirate. He was,
33:56
Speaker 1: he was interested, he was he was just a big
34:00
Speaker 1: fan of pirate movies. He said, he's always wanted to
34:04
Speaker 1: be Kirk Douglas, and I said, Okay, it's hard to
34:13
Speaker 1: follow that up, really, isn't it if someone just comes
34:17
Speaker 1: out without all In case anyone's wondering the reason why
34:20
Speaker 1: I wear a pirate costume to work, Actually, he's a
34:25
Speaker 1: pirate uniform. The reason I wearing this pirate uniform is
34:30
Speaker 1: because I'm a big fan of Kirk Douglas when he
34:34
Speaker 1: was in pirate movies in the nineteen fifties. It's hard
34:42
Speaker 1: to have a follow up question, what's your favorite dessert?
34:53
Speaker 1: He just doesn't fit, does it? Oh? Dessert? Oh? Was
35:06
Speaker 1: that dessert that doesn't people don't eat anymore? Angel delight?
35:13
Speaker 1: There was this dessert. I don't know if it's it
35:16
Speaker 1: might still get sold, but it was one of my
35:19
Speaker 1: favorite desserts. So it's kind of like, see it looked like, yeah,
35:27
Speaker 1: it looked like custard. It wasn't custard, because I cannot
35:33
Speaker 1: stand custard. It wasn't custard, but it was cold strawberry chocolate,
35:45
Speaker 1: banana flavored. There might have been different flavors, but they're
35:49
Speaker 1: the ones that I remember. And it was this powder
35:53
Speaker 1: which you put in and I don't know if you
35:56
Speaker 1: mix it with milk and just user like a what
36:03
Speaker 1: do they call it, a mixing thing, which makes it
36:06
Speaker 1: all fluffy, not drill a whisk whisk, So yeah, and
36:17
Speaker 1: it makes it all fluffy and bubbly and all yum
36:20
Speaker 1: yum yum yum. And my stepmom used to make nikko
36:27
Speaker 1: boka glories. Be careful how quickly you say that word,
36:32
Speaker 1: nika boka glory, which is if you don't know what
36:36
Speaker 1: it is, it's in a big, long, quite a high
36:41
Speaker 1: glass dish. I think it's basically did they use the
36:47
Speaker 1: same the same thing for Sundays as well, not on Sundays,
36:53
Speaker 1: but like a long dish. I don't know anyway. So
36:59
Speaker 1: what she used to do is she'd put in different
37:06
Speaker 1: levels of stuff, so there'd be some ice cream, there'd
37:11
Speaker 1: be some fruit, there'd be some angel delight, maybe some
37:19
Speaker 1: whipped cream at the top, there'd be some what those
37:26
Speaker 1: those fingers they're not bread, but oh wow, I can't
37:33
Speaker 1: even remember what they record. I usedill love them because
37:36
Speaker 1: they would melt in your mouth. Wow. What what was
37:43
Speaker 1: it called? I'm sure it's something fingers And they were
37:49
Speaker 1: kind of pastry ish, and they had a bit of
37:53
Speaker 1: sugar on top, and I think what she used to
37:58
Speaker 1: do is if just stick them in so they melted
38:03
Speaker 1: or crumbled them up and made little toppings kind of
38:08
Speaker 1: bread crumbs as well. And yeah, it was sugar and
38:16
Speaker 1: it was lovely, amazing, possibly a flake at the top. Oh,
38:24
Speaker 1: it was glorious. And then his big long spoons of
38:27
Speaker 1: a tiny little a tiny little kind of spoon thing
38:33
Speaker 1: at the end. So big long handle probably quite could
38:43
Speaker 1: for help him with constipation, I imagine, but there's not
38:47
Speaker 1: a focus on that. So with very long handles you
38:51
Speaker 1: can really get into the hard to reach places, which
38:56
Speaker 1: is like I was found right at the bottom of
38:59
Speaker 1: the dish. There was one bit that seemed to just
39:05
Speaker 1: be very hard to get to, and then maybe be
39:09
Speaker 1: a bit of ice cream or a bit of chocolate
39:12
Speaker 1: or something just right in there. And I dig in,
39:17
Speaker 1: really dig from different angles until I got to it.
39:22
Speaker 1: I never quit when it comes to chocolate, I never quit.
39:30
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yum, yum, yum, yum yum. And also trifles,
39:36
Speaker 1: we didn't have custard on our trifles. We had angel
39:39
Speaker 1: did I The reason for that is because custard is horrible.
39:46
Speaker 1: I didn't like custard. I would not eat, I would
39:50
Speaker 1: never ever eat custard ever, not gonna happen. And that's
39:56
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen ever, So this is one of
40:01
Speaker 1: those things I don't like. So we used to have
40:05
Speaker 1: I think because I was so anti custard. Maybe my
40:09
Speaker 1: brother's also didn't mind custard, so my stepmom would just
40:18
Speaker 1: figure a way around it. So we used angured Delight
40:22
Speaker 1: instead on top and some cream lovely. It was oh
40:30
Speaker 1: yum yum, yum, yum, yum, yum yum. So I'm thinking,
40:37
Speaker 1: why am I talking about angeled Delight. I don't know why,
40:44
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure if they sell it anymore in
40:46
Speaker 1: the shops. I think it's one of those things that
40:50
Speaker 1: possibly wasn't nutritionally the most beneficial edible product in the world,
41:07
Speaker 1: but it was yummy, so yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy yummy.
41:13
Speaker 1: Another thing I used to like to eat is Vanetta
41:18
Speaker 1: ice cream. Again, I don't know if he's still around.
41:24
Speaker 1: And another I didn't understand why it's not the most
41:27
Speaker 1: popular ice cream in the world because it's layered again,
41:33
Speaker 1: kind of like a lasagna or a trifle. A trifle,
41:41
Speaker 1: it is just that tis a version of a lasagna,
41:47
Speaker 1: isn't it and I learned to make lasagnas, and I did.
41:54
Speaker 1: I learned when I was at school, but I learned
41:56
Speaker 1: on a more industrial level when I worked the canteen
42:02
Speaker 1: in a bakery, so there's hundreds of people being served,
42:07
Speaker 1: and I made this massive lasagnas. And my boss, who
42:12
Speaker 1: is the chef, he was doing all that stuff, and
42:17
Speaker 1: I said, why don't you teach me how you do it?
42:20
Speaker 1: You know, because it's very different making a little lasagna
42:23
Speaker 1: to making a massive lasagna. It's just a little bit,
42:28
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a different kind of process. So
42:32
Speaker 1: in the end he taught me to do it so
42:35
Speaker 1: he didn't have to do it. I just thought that
42:38
Speaker 1: made sense. It gave me something to do a bit
42:41
Speaker 1: more interesting, and so he got me. When it was
42:46
Speaker 1: a lazagna day, I would always do the lasagna. I
42:49
Speaker 1: do the whole thing, maybe two or three of them,
42:54
Speaker 1: and he could just stand jill out. I think I
43:00
Speaker 1: felt quite proud because they did come out nice, and
43:04
Speaker 1: he went because he was a trained chef, he went
43:07
Speaker 1: through the whole thing with me and stepped by step.
43:11
Speaker 1: I felt quite accomplished. Actually, because people liked the lasagnas.
43:16
Speaker 1: They were popular, and I think we did a vegetarian
43:23
Speaker 1: version as well as Yeah, because there was I think
43:32
Speaker 1: there was the problem. There was a lot of people there.
43:36
Speaker 1: It wasn't so much that they were vegetarian, but they
43:40
Speaker 1: could only eat meat like hellal me and stuff like that,
43:48
Speaker 1: which the kitchen didn't provide, the canteen didn't provide. So
43:55
Speaker 1: what they would do instead is maybe have vegetarian version.
44:00
Speaker 1: So they were quite popular as well. What I did, though,
44:05
Speaker 1: is to make the lisaignes taste a bit nicer I
44:14
Speaker 1: with the vegetarian ones. I just sprink a little bit
44:17
Speaker 1: of meat in there as well, just to add a
44:19
Speaker 1: little bit of taste, a little bit of pork. So
44:23
Speaker 1: I think that was they were popular. I didn't I do.
44:31
Speaker 1: I really didn't. Well, even now, thirty four years later,
44:40
Speaker 1: I still wouldn't. I was still gonna say I was joking.
44:43
Speaker 1: I would not ever do that. Wow, No, no, no,
44:50
Speaker 1: you fed them park and they didn't think they were
44:54
Speaker 1: eating any meat or don't. I'm not sure there was
45:02
Speaker 1: even one vegetarian lair at all, like vegetarian vegetarian, but
45:09
Speaker 1: the vegetarian or meat or the vegetarian meals were a
45:14
Speaker 1: substitute for because of religious issues or religious beliefs or whatever.
45:27
Speaker 1: Those pork grindings really went down the tree. It just
45:31
Speaker 1: shows you if you don't know. I still find in fact,
45:38
Speaker 1: I didn't do that bottom. I'm just joking. I still
45:41
Speaker 1: find it funny though, the amount of people, not even
45:46
Speaker 1: necessary religious of any persuasion, we say, don't eat pork.
45:53
Speaker 1: It's a dirty animal. Name a clean one. Where is
45:59
Speaker 1: there a clean animal? Just name one. I mean, my
46:04
Speaker 1: little the love of my life right now. If Anny,
46:08
Speaker 1: he's a dirty little back up, you know humans are dirty.
46:13
Speaker 1: He was just there's no clean animal. I'm technically clean
46:19
Speaker 1: for maybe five minutes after I've had a shower, and
46:22
Speaker 1: then I fought you know, it's oh, dear, oh, that's
46:33
Speaker 1: a bit of activity downstairs. So I'm just waiting to
46:37
Speaker 1: see if Finnie's gonna start barking or not. It's called
46:43
Speaker 1: at eight in the morning. I've got one hour until
46:52
Speaker 1: I need to take Finnie over to see the neighbors.
46:57
Speaker 1: And they've got a little dog there till about me,
47:01
Speaker 1: so he's going to be happy running around with the
47:03
Speaker 1: other dog who he likes. And then I'm hoping I
47:12
Speaker 1: can get back by two o'clock at the latest. Yeah, yeah,
47:23
Speaker 1: ideally there's a lot of shouting outside. That's weird. It's
47:27
Speaker 1: a bit early for that. I just heard someone go, right,
47:36
Speaker 1: what's that about?
47:37
Speaker 2: I don't know, Oh, yeah, the.
47:51
Speaker 1: I just love Angel Delight. I used to teut the
48:01
Speaker 1: what was that ice cream? I was talking about? It
48:06
Speaker 1: was basically will They did a mint version and possibly yeah,
48:11
Speaker 1: different versions, but the one I liked was just vanilla
48:14
Speaker 1: ice cream with it was bits of chocolate, like I
48:25
Speaker 1: don't know how to explain it, Vonetta or ice cream.
48:28
Speaker 1: And for those who don't know, it's like a a
48:31
Speaker 1: a big, long, oblong kind of block that came on
48:37
Speaker 1: a tray, a brown tray, I think, wrapped in plastic
48:44
Speaker 1: but white, you know, just like ice cream, you know,
48:47
Speaker 1: frozen gul and plastic and then inside a box with
48:54
Speaker 1: Vonetta on the side and a picture of it. And
49:01
Speaker 1: I really liked it as a kid and I used
49:04
Speaker 1: to eat it. I've had it as an adult. I
49:08
Speaker 1: don't know if it's still produced because I've not had
49:11
Speaker 1: any for a while. I just liked the layer chocolate
49:18
Speaker 1: ice cream, then chocolate and it's like these little not flakes.
49:29
Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain it, but it's nice Anyway.
49:34
Speaker 1: There was a time when I was about sixteen, living
49:37
Speaker 1: in a flat up of the chip shop, and I
49:40
Speaker 1: had such little money. I would sometimes spend all my money,
49:46
Speaker 1: which would be maybe a pound, on some ice cream,
49:53
Speaker 1: Vineta or ice cream and possibly thinking about it, possibly
50:04
Speaker 1: a what would I have with it? What was that?
50:13
Speaker 1: What they called like the non syrup maybe syrup, not sponges,
50:21
Speaker 1: but like pie, oh canting what they call it. It's
50:27
Speaker 1: like pastry, and then there's sort of syrupy stuff at
50:32
Speaker 1: the top which is very sticky and thick. Oh, the
50:38
Speaker 1: name of it has gone out of my head. I
50:41
Speaker 1: used to heat that up and then have that with
50:44
Speaker 1: the ice cream, and that was my dinner. That was
50:48
Speaker 1: my lunch, and I feel so full, but not in
50:54
Speaker 1: a good way because I needed food, proper food, not
51:00
Speaker 1: just sugar. Probably wasn't my best decision ever. And there
51:16
Speaker 1: was a time when I used to have. Yeah, when
51:19
Speaker 1: I was in the chip shop, I got a part
51:21
Speaker 1: time job cleaning before work. I needed to try and
51:26
Speaker 1: get some money, and I used to get home. I
51:31
Speaker 1: used to work from six point thirty to eight thirty,
51:36
Speaker 1: and then i'd start work at nine, so i'd go
51:40
Speaker 1: home it's ONNY A five minute walk, get home, have
51:45
Speaker 1: some corn flakes, have a can of coke.
51:48
Speaker 2: Would you believe?
51:50
Speaker 1: I mean, I've not done that since that time. I
51:54
Speaker 1: cann and coke with my cornflakes. It's a weird mix.
52:00
Speaker 1: And I'd watch breakfast TV for like fifteen minutes. Then
52:04
Speaker 1: I'd go downstairs and start working. And I think my
52:14
Speaker 1: boss told me I had to quit my morning job
52:20
Speaker 1: because I was working too many hours. It made me
52:25
Speaker 1: too tired. It was like, yeah, but I need the money. Maybe,
52:32
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't much. It's probably fifteen pounds a
52:38
Speaker 1: week maybe, I mean probably what two four, six, eight, ten,
52:50
Speaker 1: twelve twelve hours from Monday to Saturday. Twelve hours a week. Yeah,
53:07
Speaker 1: maybe fifteen two one pound fifteen hour probably so twenty
53:18
Speaker 1: pounds a week, maybe eighteen pound a week, which would
53:24
Speaker 1: really make a difference to my lifestyle. But it was
53:31
Speaker 1: quite diring, you know, waking up at six in the morning. Yeah.
53:42
Speaker 1: Back then, I wasn't a big fan of early starts.
53:48
Speaker 1: I really really really really wasn't. I mean really, I
53:54
Speaker 1: was not a big fan of starting at getting up early.
53:59
Speaker 1: It was there was a constant struggle for me. And
54:06
Speaker 1: now I wake up at four or five every day
54:10
Speaker 1: in the morning. I don't know why that noise is
54:19
Speaker 1: someone making noise in the garden. So I'm going to go.
54:25
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself
54:28
Speaker 1: because you do deserve to be happy, and be gentle
54:32
Speaker 1: with his arm. He deserved to feel safe. Lots of love, Bye,
