00:00Can we just ask about your mum? Everyone's wanting to know about your mum. How's she doing?
00:04Well, she has cancer. She's self-isolating. I have to say, I got very cross with BT today.
00:11Somehow her phone line's been off for about nine days. I've called her every single day.
00:15They have not helped. She is vulnerable. She's 83 years of age, but they assure me it'll be on
00:20by next Tuesday. That'll be two weeks without phone. You know, you worry about your parents
00:24when they're in their 80s. What if they fall? How do they alert a neighbour if they don't have a
00:29phone, you know? But my mum, if I call her, she is your inevitable bright. I'm in the garden. I'm
00:36cleaning the windows. I'm doing the washing. I'm changing the beds. She is as bright as a button.
00:40You will never hear my mother a negative word. And I think I take that from her. You know,
00:46it's important to be honest, but people don't want to listen to Debbie Downers all the time.
00:50There's enough of that in the world, you know?
