Every now and then 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:16.040 it just goes. 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.240 At the start, it was sending off like wofts every 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.760 now and again, but it's quite constant. And then I 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.199 came in this morning and I reckon it's changed to 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:26.040 about dead fish. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:26.280 Now? 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:29.880 Has anyone gad? 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:31.280 Oh? 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.200 Yeah, one of our awesome haughties here, Lucy, who's been 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.880 working in the nursery and looking after it.

I think it's still there. 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.960 I reckon it's a good eight. Yeah, it's not constant. 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.040 I haven't been inside yet, guys, so I'll be heading 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:08.280 in shortly. I'm sure.

Is it dead and you've 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.280 got to turf it in the skip? Or is it 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:19.280 in ten years time? 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.839 Does it?

And so all 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.760 the storage is in there, and when the flower starts 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.599 to wilt, some of the energy will go back and 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:45.880 then and then it'll take another ten. 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.360 So well, if we still have our jobs, then guys, 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.800 we might come back in ten years time to see 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:52.160 it again. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:52.920 Do you have merch? 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:54.240 No? 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:55.160 Oh no we did. 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.040 We heard you sold out of the well.
