And I'm going to go over through some of the things that have happened in January and maybe a bit of December. Because we've all gone a bit doolally with "where the hell am I at the moment?" So right now, I'm recording this from the French countryside, which seems like a good idea. It might start raining at some point. This seemed like a good idea to bring all of my stuff into the middle of nowhere behind this like, rustic barn.
