Right, okay. And on that note, what changes do you notice in your food choices or physical activity in the summer? And are there particular things you do differently to keep well, to to stay well in the summer? Not particularly. I'm fairly limited because of my age, mate. I've got an artificial knee. So I'm limited in what I can do. So walking and cycling, swimming are about all I can do. So, you know, when we go on holiday, swim every day if possible. But as I mentioned, it tends to be walking, longer walks. we might go out for the day locally and go for a few hours of walking in the countryside. So because the weather is better and warmer. So yeah, and cycling again, as well. I do enjoy getting out on the bike when the energy levels are enough to do that. Sure. And, you know, summer can also be a social season with events, food, and, you know, more spontaneity. Do these situations bring challenges for you and how you navigate them? More social. I guess it does. Yeah, I mean, more barbecues and outdoor events. I enjoy them. I mean, yeah, I'm not a socially anxious person, generally. So, yeah, I tend to enjoy them. Yeah. And I do enjoy barbecues, getting out, eating outside, chatting with friends. It's a good thing. Yeah. OK, on that positive note, thinking about positive health behaviours and attitudes in the summer, are there any that feel especially relevant for you and why?
