Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to the Easy English Expressions, the Budcast.
Number 1,100 and 1. Thank you very much.
Coach Shane here, how are you doing today?
Today it's great, actually for me it's Thursday, June 8th, 2023.
Right now the temperature is 7 degrees Celsius.
It's raining and this is to be honest, my favorite type of weather.
I really, really like this weather.
I know a lot of people think it's miserable, it's just terrible weather, but for me, I love it.
I really like it. I'm looking at the forecast here.
You know what, windows, I don't like windows.
Let me look at the iPhone.
iPhone forecast is easier to see.
I need to tell you the forecast because it's related to today's expression.
So let's see today, yeah, it's going to rain all day.
So that's no good. It looks like Friday, Saturday also rain, perhaps, however, by Sunday, the latest and maybe actually on Saturday, the temperatures are going to be a little bit warmer.
So I'm going to have to put in my garden, right?
On Saturday, the high temperature is 18 degrees Celsius.
That's pretty good. It needs to be warm because I need to put in my tomato plants.
We love tomatoes, especially Mikey, my son, Jimmy, too.
They just love tomatoes.
It's like fruit for them, especially the cherry tomatoes.
They're so delicious. So when I put the tomatoes in the garden, I use a wooden steak.
It's wood, we call it a steak, S-T-A-K-E.
It's a long stick, basically.
And I have to hold the steak and I have to use a hammer and I have to pound the steak into the ground.
And last year, when I did that, I was not wearing gloves.
My bare hand, I was holding the wood and I'm hammering the steak into the ground.
And I don't know how I did it, but the hammer hit my thumb.
And that does not feel good.
If you understand the situation, you can imagine it's quite painful.
But because I'm a man, I just said a bad word, and then I kept doing my work.
But later, my wife noticed, basically on my thumb, there was a brown, kind of a reddish, but more of a brown bump, like a bubble, a bubble on my skin.
And it was brown, kind of red.
And my wife said, oh my God, I said, yeah, I've got a blood blister.
It's not a pimple, a pimple on your face, that's going to be like white.
But if you like hit your hand, your finger with a hammer, you're going to get a red bump, a tiny little bump, it's like a bubble, once again, it's like a bubble.
And we call that bubble a blood blister, because if you pop the bubble, what comes out, blood and other stuff.
Oh, I'm sorry, it's kind of a gross word, but it is a very, very useful word, blood blister, check out the dialogue.
What's that? Oh, I got a blood blister.
I told you to be careful.
Who are you calling? 9-1-1.
Yeah, that's my wife, me and my wife having a conversation.
If you have a blood blister, do you need to call 9-1-1?
Do you know 9-1-1? Yeah, I think in the UK, it's 9-9-9, right?
In other countries, it's a different number.
But that's like the ambulance, the police, the fire department.
If you have a blood blister, do you call 9-1-1?
I need an ambulance. Oh my God.
I got a blood blister on my thumb.
I'm going to die. No, you don't need an ambulance, but you do need to be careful.
So this year, this weekend, when I put in my tomato steaks, I will definitely be careful and I will be wearing gloves.
Hopefully that will protect me.
I'm usually very careful.
I'm usually very good with a hammer.
I don't know what happened.
You know, it happens. You know, even monkeys fall from trees.
Am I right? And I'm just a monkey.
I'm a bald monkey. That's all I am.
I'm a bald monkey. You know, speaking of bald monkeys, there's no relationship.
