And this is kind of granny bedtime.
I mean, I can't imagine 30 years ago the idea of saying that I'd sort of dropped off at 10.
You know, I would have been so embarrassed.
So, you know, and I think, well, that was the day then, you know.
And that's it.
So I'm afraid, guys, that's all you get because as far as truth goes, there's, you know, unless I were to get, you know, really economical with it, there's nothing else I could say that I did.
Got up in the middle of the night and went and had a pee.
You know, I don't know whether that was before or after midnight because I didn't look.

One day in my life.
Thanks, Mary.
Pleasure.
