0:00.0	Hello, Dominic and hello listeners, I am still, you'll be very annoyed to hear Dominic in the beautiful south of France.
0:29.3	I am very annoyed to hear, in fact. I have my summer break what feels now like months ago in rural Scotland. It was lovely, but it wasn't very summery. Well, if it's any consolation,
0:39.8	your ears are going to be escaping from the city again this week. Just my ears. Just your ears,
