I've lost quite a few friends and the bits we used to laugh about and the silly noises we made and the...
Unless I can, but they're so unique.
And when I lost Barney, lovely Barney, my dog, who was also my friend, there was a language I used with him.
And I used to say every morning, before I fed him, I used to say, you're an extremely good little chap.
And I would extend the word extremely.
And he'd go crazy with the word extremely because you're extra, extra, extra special like that.
And it was his language.
And what's amazing for me with those words is that Colm, my Irish friend's daughter, Emilia, who's four,
when we were making the book together, I would sometimes, she would say, how did you speak to Barney?
I'd say, you're extreme.
And so she now, he films her running around the garden going, you're extra special.
You're extremely good.
And so for me, that's something that hasn't.
And I suppose friends to me, going back to the original, are we can relish the uniqueness of parts of each other that only are there with each other.
And I love that.
And they're friends who I can, you know, people's, you know, doing nothing with friends is never doing nothing, is it?
And that's a line from a book which I think I like because you don't need to be doing a thing to
You don't need to be going to football or watching, but you can just literally do this and chat or go for a walk and talk about anything.
Just sitting in silence is doing an awful lot.
You don't need to fill it.
