Every morning I wake up at 659am and head outside for a morning walk where I say hello to the cows After 4 minutes and 47 seconds I check my watch, then head home where I do one pull up and two press-ups.
Then, I engage in a trifecta of dental hygiene.
One, brush teeth.
Two, floss.
Three, mouthwash.
I boil the kettle, pour the milk in the mug, and sit down with my coffee.
The place where my day truly begins.
Good morning.
Today we are staying at a beautiful farmhouse in the countryside and this evening we are gonna have a veggie barbecue on this veranda.
Before that, we will learn loads of English in the theme of daily routines, so let's go.
This is a small gate.
I'm opening the gate and walking down the stairs.
The way that I like to begin every single day is to take a walk and look at this beautiful place.
Some people like to jog on a morning.
A jog is a gentle run.
Other people like to go for a run.
I'm out of breath.
So I rarely run, about 10% of the time.
I prefer to take a stroll, which is a gentle walk.
So we're taking a walk through the farm and to my right, these are flowers.
There are flowers of many different colors.
To my left, there is a white fence.
Today is very sunny.
The sun is beating down.
I have my camera.
I really like photography, so I'm going to take some photos.
In this picture, there are three black and white cows standing in front of a red barn.
Hello.
I am holding a metal bucket and we use this to give the cow a drink.
As the weather is boiling, boiling means very hot, this cow is resting in the shade.
Both of us are lying down.
Okay, Mr. Cow, I think we should go get him some water.
So I am filling up the metal bucket with water.
But first... Just kidding.
Now I'm carrying the bucket.
I'm carrying it.
So now I'm lifting the bucket over the fence for you, Mr. Cow.
All right.
He's got his drink.
Now I think I want my drink.
So let's go take a break.
Stay hydrated.
That's the next part of my daily routine.
I always drink water, usually about three liters.
I've just had a wee.
We can say to have a wee, to have a pee, or to have a piss.
Now I need to wash my hands.
So I'm turning on the tap.
Next, I need soap.
I'm pumping out the soap.
I'm rubbing the soap between my palms, my palms.
And look at that, it's foamy.
So I'm rinsing it off under the tap.
I'm turning off the tap.
Now I need a towel.
Towel.
Towel.
I'm drying my hands with a towel, Right?
The next part of the daily routine is to make breakfast.
This is a mango.
This is a small knife.
I'm using the knife to peel the mango.
I am peeling the mango.
Alright, I just peeled the mango.
This is the mango skin, or the mango peel.
Discard that.
Now it's time to slice.
So I am slicing the mango.
Now I'm going to dice the mango.
To dice is to cut it up into small squares.
I just diced the mango.
More fruits!
Look at what we have in the colander.
We have a bunch of grapes.
This is another bunch of grapes.
Finally, we have a strawberry and the top part of the strawberry is called the hull.
When I take it off, I can say, I just hold the strawberry.
Let's chop these up and make our delicious overnight oats.
Okay, so I'm putting the oats in the bowl and these oats are mixed with yogurt and oat milk.
The best part about making breakfast is eating breakfast.
Let's go.
This tastes good, but I think something's missing.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
Alright, breakfast is done.
Now, the most important thing for every British person.
A cup of tea and the rain.
Doesn't get more British than this.
A goose is eating food in the rain.
Droplets of water are falling on the leaf.
The rabbit takes shelter in the hutch.
Mushrooms are growing from the wet log.
It's drizzling.
There's something about the rain that I find so calming and peaceful.
I love to go out when everybody else is inside.
Do you like the rain?
Chili.
Right.
I just took a walk in the rain and I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling refreshed.
So the next part of my daily routine is to... One, two, three, four.
Well, it's a big, big farm and the turkeys are out.
The dog stays calm while the geese all shout.
What a noisy bunch.
I wonder what these animals are having for lunch.
Oh, well, the goose likes bread and the cow we smash.
The rabbit munches lettuce and the horse eats the grass.
But not me, I'm fine.
I think I'd rather have a cheeky glass of wine.
Coming out the house now.
Singing a song to the cow now.
Well, you're a pretty cow.
Your moo, your milk, oh wow.
A cow like you is just irresistible.
Now it's time to do some work.
All right.
Now it's time to do the bulk of my work, which is editing videos, the stuff you guys don't see.
To be honest, editing takes a long time, but just like you guys, I'm still learning.
Once I've edited videos, the next thing I like to do is to use my iPad to annotate.
Can you pass me my hat, please?
Your hat?
Yeah, it's under.
Under the chair?
Yeah.
Yeah, one sec.
There you go.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Sorry.
Right.
So as I was saying, the next thing I like to do is to annotate photos.
So I'm trying to annotate as many of these photos as possible for you guys.
If you want to support me, you can check out my Instagram.
The third piece of work that I love to do is free writing.
You simply set a five minute timer on your phone and then write.
The only rule is to not stop.
It doesn't matter if you write the same word 50 times, just keep writing.
Eventually you'll find a flow.
The most exciting thing of all.
I'm working on a new project and it's to help you guys learn English even more efficiently, even more effectively.
But it's a secret.
I'll tell you very soon.
The rain stopped and we decided to come see the horses on the farm.
Yeah!
Yeah, horsey, horsey!
So, these are the horses' stables.
We actually came to see the horses, but they're inside, so I've got a plan.
I'm going to pick some grass.
Right.
I've got some grass and I think I can coax them out.
Don't step on that rake.
Yeah, horsey, horsey.
Grass, bit of grass, some grass.
Well, the horse doesn't want my grass and I'm not gonna eat that grass, so.
Oh, we might have a horse.
We might have a horse.
Come on, come on.
I'll throw my grass away.
There we go.
All right, guys, we have a little baby horse.
Hello.
Are you having a sniff?
Oh, the horse just sniffed my hand.
There we go.
It's eating my grass.
I did it.
I'm going to pick some more grass.
I'll be right back.
There's some grass for you.
Yes.
Well, I've achieved what I wanted to do.
Can I pet you?
No more grass for you.
That's just my hand.
All right.
I fed the horse grass.
It worked.
I coaxed her out.
While we're here, this part of the horse is called its mane.
Hello.
I'm touching its mane.
M-A-N-E, mane.
She's swishing her tail to get rid of the flies.
She's scratching herself on the fence.
Right now I'm petting the horse.
Yeah, do you want some more food?
I'm gonna get some more grass.
Come on girl, get some of this down here.
So I'm feeding the horse some grass.
This is quite long grass.
And a male horse is called a stallion.
A female horse is called a mare.
A baby horse is called a foal.
Horses usually eat hay, which is dried grass.
They have a mane, which is this hair on his back, the same as a lion.
A lion has a mane too.
In the UK, it's very common for people to ride horses.
Those people are called jockeys, but you won't catch me getting on that horse.
I want to get a snack.
Well, we got a snack, but we've already eaten it.
Completely forgot to film it.
It was nice.
There was some kind of bread with cheese sweet cheese, something that's quite odd to me as an Englishman, but it was very nice.
And I devoured it.
I devoured it, man.
I ate it very fast.
Now we're just left with these two drinks.
I have a lychee tea and mango chang has a mango tea.
Cheers cheers, cheers um.
After this, we're gonna head back to our farmhouse and play some games, but i've just spotted something A tractor.
Shall we teach a bit of the tractor?
This is the steering wheel, which takes you left or right.
These are the pedals, which help you go or stop.
This is the gear stick, which helps you shift gears.
I hope it doesn't actually drive.
Alright, it's game time.
We are about to play some frisbee before dinner tonight.
Alright, where's my frisbee partner?
There she is.
In a beautiful yellow skirt.
You ready?
Yeah.
Hey, nice catch.
Okay, so we are throwing and catching.
Can't like reflexes.
My shoes just came off in the process of that.
I actually might play barefoot, it's quite nice.
The shoes are coming off.
So a big part of our daily routine is to play.
It's something that we lose as we become older, as we become adults, and play is very important.
All right, i need to get my shoes.
I forgot through the legs.
Nice, catch one more.
And for you guys, just kidding.
These ants guys, these ants are massive, much bigger than in the city.
Ants are insects and a group of ants is called a colony, a colony of ants.
So we're preparing for the barbecue and I have in front of me some ingredients.
Let's take a look burger buns, veggie burgers, mayo or mayonnaise, tomato ketchup tomatoes, an orange pepper, some lettuce, a jar of pickles, a cucumber, some baby corn, a block of cheddar cheese my favorite and an avocado.
Let's cook.
All right, First step is to prep, or prepare, all our salad ingredients.
These are going to go inside the burger.
I'm slicing the cucumber.
Cucumber.
Right, an important part of my daily routine is to relax.
Oh yes right, i'm relaxed, so i've chopped the cucumber.
Next are the tomatoes and i'm gonna slice these in nice uniform thin slices.
So now i'm slicing the pepper.
I just sliced the pepper, and these are in big chunks because i'm going to roast them on the barbecue so they get that real sweet flavor, that sweetness.
This is a barbecue and I'm opening the barbecue.
This is the lid.
These are a barbecue's best friend, tongs.
Mother, that was hot.
Don't pick up tongs that have been sat in the barbecue.
Use the ones on the table.
Let me know, guys.
For the next episode, I'm going to do a Q&A, question and answer.
I would love to answer your guys' questions.
So what do you want to know?
Quiz me on my personal life.
No question is out of bounds.
Looking forward to it.
I've got a weapon and I'm not afraid to use it.
This is a blowtorch and I'm about to blowtorch the coals because they are not hot enough.
So let's take a look at this.
I'm turning on the gas, pressing the trigger and I'm blowtorching the coal.
All right, now I'm putting the grill back on and hopefully they should cook nicely.
Whoa.
Smoke in my eyes.
After two minutes of crying due to onions and smoke, the burgers are ready.
Two beautiful burgers.
I am starving.
He's very hungry.
So let's eat these.
Well, this burger was delicious.
I feel like it's nourished my soul and There's one feeling that I want to leave you guys with.
It's when you feel positive about the future, you're looking forward to things.
That feeling is optimistic.
I hope you guys have had a successful day wherever you are.
I hope you're feeling good about today and optimistic about the future.
Thank you for watching.
Love you all.
Peace.
Thank you.
