You told me last 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: week you were going to send me some photos of 4 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 2: the dancer. Sideline was. 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Typical play. It was really good. So what was that 6 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: Saturday at the event center? Chaos across the road getting 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: ready for it in the v TA rooms. Ellis has 8 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: found herself part of what we're calling the girl gang 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: to her in about three or four other buddies and 10 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: they're all egging each other on. So trying to dress them, 11 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, it was almost like trying to catch headless chickens. 12 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: Not a little bit shy up on stage, but you know, 13 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: managed to get it and manage to get everybody in. 14 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: That's right. I mentioned that I'd forgotten a couple of 15 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: family members. No, no, Grannie was left waiting in the foy. 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: You'll be pleased to know they all. 17 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 2: Got no TOFI. They all got an and so they 18 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: ad to push their way to the front or did 19 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: they have to sit where they were told? 20 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: Well no, yes, they were told so all in separate areas. 21 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: And that's something I didn't think about, the fact that 22 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: all the kids would dress the same in the white leotards. 23 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: So all the grandies afterwards came up to me and said, oh, 24 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: it was fabulous, but which one was? 25 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 2: Ellis you can laugh, but I'm just about seeing are 26 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: thirteen and the gore one because they were all the same. 27 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, it took me what you're talking about, 28 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: and you need to be sitting beside someone who knows. 29 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it took me a hot minute to even figure 30 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: it out myself. So there is a bit of video 31 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: footage and I'll send you that and I'll go and 32 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: doctor the big red arrow that points to her. She 33 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: was near the end of the pack, but loved it 34 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: and also loved watching your teacher miss Holly up there 35 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: dancing as part of the showcase too. 36 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: Oh it's absolutely fabulous. I just love it so much. 37 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: And they get so much enjoyment out of it. It's great. 38 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: It's good for their confidence.

You've 44 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: still got a few wee things to do. Yeah, I 45 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: love visiting lots of people at this time of the year. 46 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: I make that Christmas chaff stuff that I do, and 47 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: it's a good excuse for me to pop into the 48 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: rest homes and see some of my old mates that 49 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: aren't so aren't so fit anymore. So it's got a 50 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: wee bit of that to do. And then yeah, tip 51 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: the countdown and be on. 52 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 1: What does Christmas mean for you? Shell Ah? 53 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: What does Christmas mean to me? It's a very good question. 54 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: I love Christmas. I love all the hype. I think 55 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: that it was brought back to me very suddenly last 56 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: Sunday for our Christmas parade. I'm dicked out in the 57 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 2: most horrendously Christmasy team outfit, walking towards the Hockanuy truck 58 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: to meet for Now, and I passed the Nativity float 59 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: and it stopped me in my tracks, because that really 60 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: is what it's all about. And we forget that so 61 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: easily with all the hype and all of the tinsel 62 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: and all the drinks and everything else. But these little 63 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: kids were sitting on this beautiful float and the three 64 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 2: wives men in the whole nine yards, it was just 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: it was beautiful and so I like to think that 66 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: maybe Christmas doesn't mean that underneath it all. But we 67 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: do get caught up in the moment, don't we. 68 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: Absolutely. I've set you up a bit like the Queen 69 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: here or king? Is it part of is a tradition 70 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: for you to turn in for that Royal Christmas Day 71 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: TV message? 72 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 2: It always was. I probably am not quite so devoted 73 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: to King Charles as I was Queen Elizabeth. Yes, so 74 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: to be fair, I have not heard that this will 75 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: be his third one? Is it. 76 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: Stract myself on that? Then? So what's your royal message 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: for us?
