Thank you so much for joining me as we walk the gentle path of curiosity and kindness with humour.  Somehow - thanks to you - this podcast is now in the top ten per cent of podcasts according to the Listener Notes Global Rankings.  This gives me great joy and amusement because I know only too well how my garbled witterings compares to the marvellous, professional stuff out there.  Thank you and I wish you a happy last day of the first half of 2025.  May gentleness be with you, and let us suffer fools gladly.  For who are we to judge?
