00:00Good morning everybody. I've put a filter on this because I look that rough. I've had the worst hay fever for the last, I'd say, two to three days and I don't know what's hit me, but it has hit me like a bus.
00:15So I'm just letting you know that I'm not going to be making this morning today, but the lovely Lisa Snowden is going to be stepping into my shoes and looking after my lovely Dermot. But listen, I'll see you next week. I'm fine, but I've got lots of drugs. I've got all the hay fever stuff. What else have we got? I've got the nose stuff. I've got the eye situation. I've got some vitamin tablets. I'm all over it.
00:43I've got the tissues and I've got my electric robot hoovering the house. So I am fine and I'll see you next week. I love you lots. Sorry I'm not there today.
