Okay, on that note, what helps you to stay well in the winter months? Do you have any specific habits or resources or strategies or any particular sort of behavioural I don't know, pattern that you focus on to stay well in the winter. Anything that stands out for you? Again, sorry to belabor the point, but I find exercise helps. Helps with essential well-being and talking to family and trying to stay connected as possible with friends and family. I find that can lift my spirits if I'm feeling a bit down to talk to someone to have a laugh and that just lifts you up a bit. And yeah, so make sure connected plus physical activity as well as best as possible. And with that in mind, how do you find that your emotional or mental health shifts during the winter? And if it does, how does that impact your motivation or health? Yeah, when spring comes around and the clocks go forward and you feel warmth on your back again for the first time since winter, I tend to lift up mentally and overwinter without even realising it. I think you can just dip a bit over winter and it feels like you hibernate a bit. That's what I feel like overwinter, just mentally hibernate a bit, just hunker down and yeah, I don't like to say it, but get through winter as best as you can, try and enjoy it. But it's a season, you just wish it was summer all the time, but it can't be. But yeah, there you go. Yeah. California comes to mind, but I'm not going to digest from our conversation.
