But I think it's worth, just before we finish this episode and this fourth episode in this series, of just going through

what John Semkin has had to do in that 24 hours of Monday, the 26th of June.

Briefing of the previous day's events and the plans for the following day.

Then you can go and get a little bit of kip.

3.30, wake up, have a cup of tea.

Yep.

I mean, it's just relentless, isn't it?
