We just rinse all of this off.

The cover.

We have, oh, we have one of those like robotic hoovers,

which goes around the house.

I just turned that off but this is...

I wanted to welcome you to possibly a really boring video.

I thought that today we could just have a normal day together.

I think recently I've been really trying to make videos

that are very different and hopefully interesting to watch but I was like you know I've not made a video

about me just doing really normal boring things

so today is just a really chill kind of relaxed day

at home for me I have a few jobs I have to do

and also I have to walk the dog Wilson my dog it is now 11 o'clock in the morning

and I have still not had a coffee so we're going to start with an iced latte because I need one.

I typically use this like Nescafe it's like espresso concentrate made for iced coffee.

It's new in the UK but I love it and some caramel syrup just a dash.

then I add some ice cubes

and some milk I'm here in my office I've got my coffee I've not tried it yet

so good today is going to be a day that's kind of like I feel like my alpha looks

today is going to be like kind of a mix between a work day

and also like a day off I have been working like a lot more on the channel this month

and on my other social medias so honestly it's kind of weird

because my work day and my days off kind of like blend into one

which is super cool and you know I'm very lucky

but also it can sometimes be like is today a work day

or is it a day off I don't know I wanted

to give you guys like a bit of a haul because the other day I went into town

and I went to a bookshop and I bought like a few books, not many, but I bought a few.

So I wanted to show you some of the books that I bought.

Here they are.

I bought a few.

I bought one like classic crime book.

You guys know Agatha Christie?

She's a very, very famous British murder mystery writer.

She's like considered the grandmother of true of British murder mystery or murder mystery in general.

Like who done it?

Who did it?

Novels.

I picked up this one.

This one is And Then There Were None.

And I have never read this book.

I have read loads and loads of Agatha Christie's books, but I've never read And Then There Were None.

but there was a TV show version back in like the 2010s on the BBC like on the British

like around Christmas time they made a TV show

and I was blown away like it was amazing

so I wanted to have a go at the book I

bought The Secret Barrister The Cutthroat Trial I love a thriller

um a thriller book you know one of the kind of an interesting crime novel things like this

and this is by who wrote this oh my god it

doesn't say oh bro I think the secret barrister is the writer oh

so the secret barrister is the author it says here that the secret barrister is a junior barrister specialising in criminal law.

They write for many publications and are the author of the award-winning blog of the same name.

So this is somebody who works in the legal field and is writing a book from that perspective.

That is so cool.

And I really liked this because it kind of was going from, when I looked through the book, it was going from different perspectives. So

you would read one page that was by the prosecutor

so the person who is the person prosecuting is the person

who is trying to protect the person who was the victim the prosecutor protects the victim

that was difficult for me to explain um

and yeah each chapter is from a different perspective and I thought

that was really interesting so I picked up this one

and the final book I was honestly just

so interested in the cover they do say never judge a book by its cover

but how beautiful is

that this is Hooked by Asako Yuzuki apparently this book came out in Japan in 2015

but it was only translated into English this year in 2026 Basically,

I believe it's about like a woman who becomes obsessed with another woman that she sees online.

And I think they kind of start some kind of, you know, friendship, which then becomes an obsession.

This is my book haul.

I'm going to start my morning by replying to some comments on my recent video.

and I also recently joined like a I recently started Spanish class with a new teacher

and she gave me some really really useful notes Wilson.

He needs to go for a walk,

so we We are going to take him out now and honestly I'm gonna get another coffee.

As we drive we are going to listen to the new Olivia Rodrigo album.

It's so good.

My favourite song is The Cure by the way.

We are taking Wilson for a walk in a nearby estate.

I really wanted to show you like the house a little bit because we can't go in.

I don't know if people actually live there

but something super common here in the UK is we used to have all of these manor houses

but eventually they got too expensive to maintain, expensive for the families to like repair

so they often donate them to a company called the national

trust who then like open the spaces up to the public

so right now for example i'm in a walled garden

that was built in the 1770s

so originally this place would have grown all of the vegetables for the manor house

and the stables which is right next door has been turned into a cafe

so you can stop here get a coffee walk your dog um

and yeah it's it's all open to the public so

if you come to the uk you can try

and look for like a national trust property

if you want to see like the old English manor houses and things like this.

That looks like a swamp.

What are you standing in, Wilson?

oh my god

okay my camera is like about to die

but we've just finished our walk Wilson stinks that little

that little swamp that he was in stinks so we're gonna head home and um I am gonna have some lunch because I'm hungry.

100

I'm really hungry.

101

I did not have a very big breakfast.

102

So let's head home.

103

Wilson right now seriously smells like an old swamp.

104

He smells like an old swamp because that little puddle of water that he went into

105

like just smells like shit so I'm gonna give him a bath.

106

This was not my plan for today.

107

He's looking at me.

108

He doesn't look like a boy that smells like a swamp does he?

109

okay I'm gonna just run some water in here the water is very shallow it's um it's not very deep

110

because well Wilson only has little legs I'm gonna put stinky in there I have a a jug and

111

I just pour the water over his back.

112

Let me, there you go.

113

Ignore all these cleaning cloths.

114

I just pour the water, good boy, over his back.

115

The water is not hot.

116

It's like, we call it, it's lukewarm.

117

So it's a little bit warm.

118

This is like a shampoo and conditioner for dogs

119

so I literally I just put this on Wilson a bit like a a bit like a hot dog

120

and um this will make him smell a bit better Wilson

121

likes this he likes this part he likes a scratch

122

and then now what we do is we just rinse all of this off to rinse something it's just to like

123

remove any soap with like clean water so good

124

boy every time that Wilson has a bath he gets the the zoomies afterwards

125

where he starts like he runs

126

he runs around

127

a lot what

128

do you want? boy gently gently oh fucking hell gently

129

It is now quarter to seven and I think I'm gonna go out for a drink.

130

Wilson has been so chill since his bath.

131

He has just been sleeping here in his bed all afternoon.

132

He's so cute.

133

What?

134

This is fabulous.

135

312 and a corner like that.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
