46
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting a wee bit challenging. I don't say

47
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 2: it's overly challenging yet for me. Kennery but yeah, better

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: rain would be useful leading into Christmas and make it,

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: make it, make it a little bit more pleasurable. It's

50
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: been a you know one of those springs that's been dry.

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: Was it was great through the carving period and a

52
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: lemming period, and now now we're just like the regular rain.

53
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: It would be good, That would be really really good.

54
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: But no, you just yeah, deal with the deal with

55
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: what we're giving.

56
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: Oh super quick. At the show, did you catch any

57
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: of the dog trials? No?

58
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: I have to admit I saw them all in a distance,

59
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 2: and it is one of those things that I don't

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: know it's but like watching piece Cracket of Suppose, isn't

61
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: that you sort of just sit there and and you've

62
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: become insurprised by it, don't you?

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: And I wonder where you were going with that. Yeah,

64
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: I do appreciate the skill. The reason I ask is

65
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: were you were a fan of a TV show? I

66
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: think it was back in the eighties with the voice

67
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: of John Gordon, A Dog's Show. Because it's now being

68
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: made into a new movie.

69
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do recall watching it, sitting down and watching that. No,

70
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: that was it was quite an enjoyable, enjoyable program. But

71
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: I was only a young big then. But yeah, no,

72
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: that was quite fun, wasn't it.

73
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: It's fun watching other people do it. But like golf,

74
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: I find too, and then I go and have a go,

75
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: and it's the most frustrating thing under the sun. You're

76
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: trying to get those six sheeps to do what you want.

77
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to admit I'm no dogman or trialis

78
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: so yeah, i'd be. I'd be a frustrated dog TRIALI sest.

79
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: Isn't that.

80
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Farming? Stressful?

81
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: Up?

82
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: We don't need to lay that on as well, although

83
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: I hear it's a very social community, so there's got

84
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: to be there's got to be something to it, right,
