Today is my son does some basketball training. It's kind of like in an industrial area out of Mangari there, and it's a series of warehouses. It goes for an hour. Sometimes I'll sit in the car, clear some emails, and then eventually after 10 minutes, my head just starts rocking back and forth. So then I was like... Sleep in the car?

Just a 20-minuteer, I allow myself. Really, it is a powerful tool, that 20-minute nap. It really puts you back in the game. So, yeah, reclined to the seat, Ben. And I don't know how many minutes into my 20 minute. Now, bearing in mind, it's only a 20 minute nap. It's not a sleeping beauty or, you know, my unconscious situation. I hear a...

On the window. I thought, honestly thought I was dreaming. And they just kept going. And I wake up and I was, oh, there's a well-dressed gentleman in a suit and a tie knocking on the window. So I opened the door. I was like, good-o, mate. And you know when you're like... Yeah, you're just a bit groggy trying to piece things together going,

Is this reality? And he's like, hey, I'm really sorry to do this to you, but can you move? I don't know. I can move. There's, you know, plenty more parks around the street and stuff. He's like, thanks, man. It's just, you know, the warehouse next door is empty. I've got a couple of buyers coming in.

And I don't want them to think this is an area where people squat and sleep. Or sleeping in the car is not a great road. I just became like an unwanted piece of furniture. And he's like, oh, yeah. I was like, no, it's fine. And he kept going, I really appreciate this. You know, I've had this on the market for a couple of years. I really need to, I really need to impress these people.

And I was like, well, I don't sleep here all the time. It was just going to be a 20. Once a week. It's a once a waker. If you can make them aware that I might be here sort of every Tuesday afternoon, that might put them off the purchase, surely. Yeah, but true. Do you really want someone to fall in and asleep outside your potential house?

No, or your place of business. Oh, there's old mate having it a little snooze again. So then I kind of had to degradingly move my car 100 metres away from where he was selling. I hope he made the sale for his sake. You can see the desperation in the poor fella's eyes. I need this, not the sleepy guy in the car. So yeah, that was... And then I couldn't get back to sleep.

I was like, oh no, I was over that person? Like a squatter. Like, can you please hear an eyesore? You looked a little homeless as well outside there. You never want that.
