00:37
ok, I'm just about to set off for the first thing I've got to do - it is so so
8

00:43

00:44
It's about 35 degrees. I have just turned on the AC and, hopefully, we're going to
10
44129

00:50
go somewhere a little bit cooler later.
11
50910
2669
00:53
The first place I'm gonna go is to drop off this stuff in the back.
12

00:59
So, these are old clothes, things that we don't use in the kitchen as well - I'm
13
59969
4951
01:04
going to take them to the donation center.
14
64920

01:07
So, I'll show you what that is like.
15

It's become a bit of a ritual to go through the car wash before we pick
16
93140
4680
01:37
someone up from the airport.
17
97820
1830
01:39
So, for five dollars, what you get is the car wash
18
99650
3360
01:43
but you also get free of vacuums. So, I'm going to vacuum out the car now and try
19
103010
5670
01:48
to do my best to get it as clean as possible.
20
108680

So, I'm just at the airport waiting for my special guest to arrive. Now, she flew into
22

02:27
Asheville airport which is great because it's only 13 minutes away in the car.
23
147060

02:32
Usually, people go to Charlotte and that's a two-hour drive. So, I'm really
24
152280
5100
02:37
pleased that my special guest decided to come here instead of Charlotte.
25
157380

37
228640
5190
03:53
that beer during the day. So, that's why I needed to have a nap. Anyway, we've got a

04:25
difficult to find in the US.
