00:00You
00:23Yeah
00:26Yeah
00:30Oh
00:50Big piss, thank you so much
00:56Any change
00:59No, that's all right, it'll be fine, of course it will
01:06When you seen dr. Todd at tomorrow
01:10He'll sort you out don't worry
01:17Join again with you
01:28Oh
01:39What is supposed to be cold
01:58I
02:28And before all this you were dividing your time fairly evenly between here and the lake
02:38Yeah about half and half. I could change when I wanted to
02:43Hmm
02:46Have you had any pain
02:48Some yeah these legs, right? Well Gwyn
02:53I'm afraid the body of knowledge we have about mermaids is not
03:00All we know is this can occasionally
03:03resolve itself in time
03:06but more usually
03:08It doesn't and there's a chance
03:12That it'll get worse
03:14Is
03:17There anything I can do
03:19Well something you can try is to keep going in water
03:23As many different types as you can and there's a chance one of them will give you a sort of jump start
03:31Do you mean bring my tail back? Maybe?
03:36Okay, and is there any particular type of water that's especially deep the deeper the better seems to be
03:45But of course if it doesn't work
03:48Then deeper isn't better at all. Is it?
03:55All right
04:15Hey
04:18Hey
04:20How was it yeah fine
04:25He didn't really know anything but I think it's just gonna sort itself out. Yeah
04:32Was he nice though? Yeah, he was very gentle with my pile. I know
04:40There are good things here on dry land

10:11Actually, have you heard of aquatic ape theory don't be an aquatic fucking ape. I'm a mermaid
10:16All right
10:19Sorry, I just I
10:22I feel bricked up in this body and I hate the way it's making me look at things

12:49I
12:51Steve said at his age is going to more funerals and wedding
12:54So I said when was the last funeral he went to and he hasn't been to one since his wife died
12:59And that was years ago. He just says things but I love him and I'm mortgage free
13:10Sorry just um
13:13mortgages
13:15You don't look like a mermaid, you know
13:17I remember the doctor on love Island saying left-handed people die sooner because when they're old it's easier to have
13:22Accidents when a world's not made for them. Do you ever feel like that?
13:26dead
13:29Yes, so funny
13:32It's often the way isn't it?
13:39Yeah
13:41We're gonna have to go down early. Sorry Quinn dad wants to beat the vicar to the venue. He's an alpha
13:53Could you not give Quinn one of your mum's old sticks Rob Steve needs a good clear out anyway, I
14:00I
14:07Know I can be crazy sometimes
14:09But I found my man now
14:12My forever person and I'm gonna settle down
14:16This is it. I love you my king
14:20Thank you
14:24Don't worry girlies when the brunch is bottomless the horns will still come out, but I know
14:29Steve will be there to pick me up before I do anything stupid
14:39When we're so sorry about all this yeah, it's it's sorted I've told you it's sorted they'd be bringing it now
14:46Tell me they didn't have anything
14:48Unbelievable, so I whipped up my phone started writing the review on the spot
14:51Guess what? They had something exactly an old big daddy. Can you take any help? Yeah bank Steve loves yell
14:59Yeah, anyway Quinn's meal aside, I think you'll agree that Meg she's done a stunt in job
15:04Hey on organizing all this and she's coming into budget. Yeah, so we're gonna get veneers
15:10Where turkey any moon?
15:14Yeah area
15:28Plenty of friends in there
15:32Well, I will say sorry Steve
15:34I know you hate playing games
15:35But the only reason we had to scramble for the meal is because somebody didn't RSVP for a plus one
15:39I know and I know this will happen before all the Quinn's problems
15:43But Robert might not have known that she'd be in the lake with her tail. Yeah, we didn't know. Sorry
15:51It'd be nice to see a lot more of you now Gwen hope we can be as fun as the lake
15:58Yes

16:47All right
16:50It's dancing now if you want to try we have a scenic hunger before
16:57eel
16:59That's how it comes from
17:03What I
17:04Feel like a dog or a baby and you're squeaking toys at me trying to distract me. All right
17:12You can't distract me from this Rob. I
17:16Live in it
17:18And I'm on my own because you're so scared of it you can't handle anything unhappy
17:26Your mom must have felt so never fucking met my mum

18:12Oh
18:14Yeah, my mother hated all this you marrying someone else no, no, I don't mean that I mean
18:22Yeah, yeah
18:43You
18:53Did you ever talk about what it was like getting ill
19:02Remember the last argument we ever had and she was trying to tell me something, but how she was feeling and
19:09It was near the end. So she was
19:12Feeling quite bad
19:21Yeah, maybe of me and I just tried to cheer up, you know
19:24And she was saying to me that I was burrowing down into foolishness, you know, just trying to avoid thinking about you know, that
19:34You know, I hated it I hate it when she said it
19:42I
19:47Know and trust me. I have been thinking about your mum a lot today
19:54And I realized that she didn't want me to try and cheer up, you know, she just
19:59It's just want me to understand her I
20:04Don't like the thought of leaving on our own
20:13I
20:20Need a piss

20:29Tori
20:42I
21:12I

22:10After the lifeboats, it's such a good job dredging there from the water
22:13They don't have the ambulances to be sending them for people who've already drowned. Oh, there was an ambulance
22:19Within a siren. I thought you said she was a mermaid
22:23I see to our skin the ambulance. Well, there was one when it arrived because it scared you she me
22:40I
