flotsam and jetsam that you've collected, you know, over the days and the little worries and foibles that you have.

And there's no pressure.

And as I said, you know, you feel quite lucid and it makes quite a remarkable difference.

I don't know if it's because it's connected to nature or... I mean, I think being on stage, you know, performing in a sense, you get a buzz, you know, and you do, and you get a thrill and a kick and a buzz and you have your highs and you sometimes have your lows, you know.

But with birdwatching, it seems to be more constant and there's a gentle kind of feeling of contentment and learning and peace, you know.

So that's, you know, it's therapeutic values and for mental health, it's a wonderful thing to be in nature, birdwatching, whatever you do.

I read something about that, actually.

You dig a hole, put your feet in the soil and bury them.

It's supposed to make you feel good.
