Breaking News: Keeping the Connection Alive

Ever found yourself juggling life's unexpected curveballs while trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy? (Not really haha) This isn't an episode and we're just keeping you all informed as Arabella navigates some health challenges. Our podcast has always been a testament to our partnership and flexibility, built with our well-being in mind. While we hit the pause button on our regular episodes, I'm thrilled to bring you a series of gag reels from past recordings every Thursday. It's a light-hearted treat intended to bring a smile to your face during this extended mid-season break. Arabella's in good spirits, and we're hopeful for her swift recovery.

hello everybody . This is Nicole , and I am here , sadly , today without Arabella , and the reason I'm here without Arabella is also kind of the reason that I am making a recording today , because I bet a lot of you are really surprised to hear anything from us, going:" Aren't you guys on a mid-season break ? Why are you breaking all the rules ? You're supposed to be resting , yes , well , things have happened that have meant that we are getting well , Bella's getting more rest than she had hoped , and I am getting less rest than I had hoped , but let's be honest , I don't rest , I'm not a rester as much physically . Anyway , what I am here to say to you , very inarticulately as always , is that , uh , Bella is not doing very well . Bella is quite ill . Her health is a bit of a tricky one . So I have some unfortunate news , which is not a big deal , don't worry . Like Bella's , Bella's gonna be fine , okay , um , but we will have to uh postpone um coming back after the mid-season break , which means the mid-season break is going to be a bit longer . We cannot tell you exactly how much longer , because we don't know , because this is one of those things where we don't know when we can get back to recording at the moment and all that . It won't be incredibly long . It's not going to be like the end of the world . You will see us back very soon or soon , we're saying . And in the meantime, we will be on our socials . You can send us messages on our website . You can still send them to us on our socials . We will still be speaking to you guys . Don't you worry . We will be doing some live videos when Bella is up for it , when she is back and we get back to recording and all that . We'll definitely set , do a little video while we're in England together , um over the holidays , and yeah , that's basically . That's basically the message .

But if I can say something that will be maybe make you a bit ier , is that I will , instead of those um thursday drops where we've dropped episodes , what I'm going to do is I'm going to drop a gag reel for each episode that we've already published , starting from episode one , to give you guys a bit of something to look forward to . Every thursday th . Even though it won't be a full episode , it will be a gag reel and it will be at most five to about eight minutes long , or something like that . I'm not actually sure . yet Just popped in here to tell you guys about all of that and we're very sorry about it . Like , this is partly the reason we created this line of work with Bella in mind is that she could work when she can , depending on her health , and also why we're in a partnership .

happier is not a one-woman show . I can't do an episode without Bella . Bella can't do an episode without me . We do this together , so when one of us goes down , unfortunately , the other one picks up the slack , but it does mean that we are in a bit of a stagnation for a little while , but it's going to be fun .
