If they don't like things, we cut them.

If they do like things, we can do more of that.

The following week, we are up in Edinburgh.

At the Gordon Aikman Theatre, Assembly George Square, we have sold lots of tickets.

Four figures worth of tickets.

Faster selling show in that venue.

People are coming literally from Australia, from India, from North America so far, have booked to come and see us.

Wow.

We're learning a lot, aren't we, as we do this?

Is that better?

Do include this.

I'm not including this.

Please include this, because people will be surprised to know that I first appeared in front of a BBC microphone, I think it was in 1966 or 67.

So I've been doing this for quite a long while.

But the young Harriet Jane, who's having a birthday, she's getting older at the end of this week, is telling me that my microphone technique is hopeless.

In fact, she says this to me on a regular basis.

I'm rocking with excitement because here we are.

And we're going to do some diaries.

Also, I'm a little bit high because I'll be honest with you.

I've had some highs and I've had some lows in recent days.
