So, that's good. I'm a bit less miserable than I was. I'm finishing labeling trolleys. Yeah, that's it. I thought there's a lot of footage on here, so I'm going to I'm going to cut it out. Jess is working hard. These are fruit.

[00:08:32]Right, it is 20 What? Quarter to 3 already. So, we're going to finish at 3 today. We could trade till 4 if we wanted, but it's pretty quiet here in Totton because the blooming food festival is around the corner. So, we're going to pack away. We've had a reasonable day. We've had a bit of a rush on, which I think you saw. And then it's died off really.

[00:08:48]I was going to say something profound and enlightening and I completely forgot what it was. It's completely gone. It's vanished. So, I think we're just washing up and packing away now. Let's see. 30 minutes to pack away is what I want, but we're still serving 15 minutes. It's a bit tricky. Louise is on the washing up.

[00:09:01]We've got a system we think for washing up cuz that always takes so [music] long. So, yeah.

[00:09:05]Anyway, that's where we are. I'll turn this off again when we're packing down. But, yeah. Very quiet day in Totton. Very quiet day. Another another financial loss >> [music] >> today. So, it's been good. It's been good. This is why I still have a full-time job because when it's good it's good. When it's bad it really Yeah, it's pretty bad. Anyway, right.

[00:09:24]Check in later.

[00:09:25]Right, 3:00. We're packing down now.

[00:09:56]Oh, it's just hit the gazebo. Right.

[00:09:59]There you go.

[00:10:01]Watch the chaos.

[00:10:14]Okay, that was a good guy. Oh, it's still going wrong, guys. Probably going to fall over again, isn't it? Won't learn though, will I? Things I do for you guys. You all right? This is where Jay's going to drive in with the van and run you over.

[00:10:38]>> [music] >> It's not going to last long, this camera, is it? Thought I'd broke that camera for this camera for good then, but um right, 10:00 to 4:00. Do you reckon we're going to get it all in 10 minutes? Starting to rain as well, so let's get the job done.

[00:11:07]5:05 I said we'd be done by 4:00. We are not.

[00:11:11]I'm really thirsty, but I remember water this time. Right, it's probably going to fall over, but 5 more minutes.
