Fourfoot, we always do our Friday extra. It's the show and tell. It's that extra nugget of joy. And it was lovely that you shared with us how you're feeling so happy over two years ago, that moment where you just, the light bulb went off, the sun came out, whatever you want to put it. I'm intrigued to know what you have brought along, what you're going to share that brings you joy. Well, what I brought is this, China, porcelain, rabbit.

It's a rabbit. Okay. Tell me about this rabbit. Oh, well, it's just one of those things. I've got lots of things all around my house, lots of little bits and pieces. I thought you would. I just thought you'd have things, yes. Things I by myself and things that have sort of come from family.

This one's come from, this one used to be in my grandma's house. Oh. And I think there were two or three rabbits, and I think the other ones might be at my parents' house, which I'll inherit one day. that's good. So they can go with the other rabbits. And I used to play with it as a child and with the other rabbit.

Crazy, really, to think that I thought that this, like, you know, was a real rabbit. Like, that it cared about what it was, you know, played games with it. Hello, I'm meeting the other rabbit. That's so lovely. But you played with this as a child

that you still got it and it's in your house. Yes, and I was going to say it's probably quite old and valuable. But then I looked at the bottom, it just says, made in England. That's lovely, but it is to you, it is, it's important to you. It must be, it's probably, it's probably from the 50s. It's probably from the, so it's probably 70 years old.

It's the sort of thing, one day I could go on, you know, the Antiques Road Show and they'll say, it's worth about 50 pounds and I can look really disappointed. No, you just be, it brings you joy. Yeah, so I remember, and I always, it reminds me of going to Grandma and Granddad's house as a child. And, you know, not every day was ruined by arguments. There were days when there weren't arguments. It was quite fun. And that brings you joy.

I love that you brought it along. Thank you so much, Paul. Oh, thanks, Cathy.
