We didn't call Celia the bob-haired bandit. We called Celia Grandma.
Hello. Thank you for having me back. And I tell you what, my ADHD is no joke. When you were introducing Estelle, for a moment, I thought I'm a professor. I was like, yes, these are my achievements. I am an expert and read my book, Blood, Fire and Gold, which is brilliant, but I can't remember writing it because that's how intelligent I am.
It all went through that genuinely, Estelle. I was like, yes, this is me. That's brilliant.
I thought I knew her a bit, but then I was told yesterday by my history-obsessed partner, Mark Steele, that it's Catherine de' Medici and not de' Medicini. I thought that that was the way it was pronounced and that she was Italian. And there we go.

They were good people.

Some bozos found to marry her too. Oh, I wish I was wrong. No, don't wish you were wrong.
Between us and anyone listening, it's also the age my grandmother got married.
Another person on her side that died.
Oh, that's adorable.
That blows my mind that like Catherine and Mary Connors got hung out.
Yes.
No.
My knowledge of history is so Swiss to cheese that I would have thought Nostradamus was, like, a few centuries before.
To be fair, I would have thought the same if I didn't know.
Yeah. Imagine that, wandering around. Oi! Let's go have a cup of tea. I wonder what she called him for short.
