A butterfly, a bee and an awe walker.
Advice sought after:
I listen to and dictate BBC programs (podcasts) to deter and delay dementia. And oftentimes I come to words and phrases which I cannot catch. It would be appreciated if you can tell me what they are saying and also correct my incorrect catching in the attempted transcript.
Thanks in advance.

The couple had tried and failed to kill themselves once before. This time Georgina said she would help them to die. In a few countries, terminally ill people suffering pain and distress are allowed to get help from friends, family and physicians to bring their lives to the end. In many countries though it's crime.

They had a lovely day. Mom was very ???(3)??? that day. She was in quite good mood and they talked about what's a wonderful life they'd had. It was quite heart breaking to be honest.
