[speaker002:] Well, I was at the hospital a month ago and my blood pressure's up a wee bit. So I said that I'd start.
[speaker001:] Oh. Oh.
[speaker002:] Right, before I got somebody to check.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER]
[speaker002:] But er what I was wondering, I've got to water. You know, I'm not... my water....
[speaker001:] [cough]
[speaker002:] He said that it was all quite normal really and
[speaker001:] Aye,.
[speaker002:] Just I've run to the toilet. But I don't know whether it's cold with it during the winter or not I know but
[speaker001:] Let's check.
[speaker002:] started doing a bit of training maybe, and I've started cutting down eating.
[speaker001:] Okay yeah.
[speaker002:] And I think I'm overdoing, I tell you what I think. I was lying on my back, I was working my legs up and down a lot,
[speaker001:] Well
[speaker002:] and I don't know whether I've... stretched a wee bit in here..
[speaker001:] Putting the pressure on.
[speaker002:] Well this is it. And I know I, one, it, because I felt it one day.
