Adrift with Geoff Lloyd and Annabel Port

Geoff prepares to become an empty-nester, and Annabel goes west

Ten days between episodes, what a sorry state of affairs! Especially since this was recorded a week ago. I didn't have a laptop to bake it on, you see - remember I spilled all Lucozade down my old one? And Sara was gatekeeping hers, so I couldn't use that.Got a new one now, though. Real nice. 18-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 48GB of unified memory. Lovely bit of kit.I've got to be honest with you: I have a nagging feeling there's something I should have edited out (apart from the usual dross), but I can't remember what it was. Apologies if I'm right.21st OCTOBER UPDATE: I think I've fixed the audio issues. Let me know if it's still on the fritz at your end of the pipe.
