House today started back in nicely chaotically good that's good. How come chaos then you've had lots of people around you know conference at University of North Oh that's quite important. But well that's kind of what you do isn't it you and your husband you worked in the area for education for all your life and you yes psychology but aren't you rigid all dogs have suddenly I'm worried now psychology. I'm not I'm not into I'm not I'm. Not looking at what you think because there's a nuffin me for an entire conference trust me Maggie conference. So you used to do. It yes. And how come then the leap from that to psychology. I did a lot of psychology at university. And I was appointed once life when you get so you don't want to go out on a Monday morning when the snow on the ground to teach hockey Yeah that point for me on the student side of that equation was 12 years old that's when I reached that we had hockey for the 1st year I thought you know other thing I don't want to do this again. And from my point of view on that side you had simply little children in the same thing and it was all really not wanting. I was saying to someone you know now they shut all the schools down they had one snowflake and or going to shut it but we used to have to go and we did cross country in the middle of weather like we've had that was the only way to keep an entire class of children active. Who would you sub for the member of the Gestapo that's like torture for kids so I was dead body on one class country you know that was one of the pupils probably you know now I come to them all out like. So when I was. Somewhere around the edge of Kettering. In your day and I was years ago I mean you wouldn't find the details of anywhere but yes it was in the undergrowth in the snow and was it something sinister or someone who'd just had enough I think it was someone who'd been drinking and gone to sleep at the wrong time in the wrong place it's all very midsummer murders your life is. It I just don't know police and left it. I could tell you a story about funny a dead body as well but I'm just not sure it's really birthday materialising.
