Getting a second chair so you don’t disturb your cat is so real. I’ve sat on my floor because my cat was on my bed and I didn’t want to disturb him.

Gav! I’m a barista and a fun tip to prevent your steam wand from blocking up again is after you steam your milk get a damp cloth, wipe the wand and then turn the wand on so it steams again, this will purge out any little leftover milk in the wand and help it last longer between deep cleans!

Oooo thanks for the tip! 🙏

I have a suggestion! I really liked the series where you have to read and enjoy KZfaqrs favorite books or unsubscribe. I found so many great KZfaqrs and recommendations in that series. I know you don’t like the unsubscribing bit, which is fair, so my suggestion is to make the penalty having to read their least favorite book of the year. Who knows, you might have opposite tastes and love it! Or we get to hear you rant about it a la Den of Vipers, which is a win either way for us. 😂

I love Animal Farm! Read it several times. I feel the need to point out that this book has nothing to do with humans vs. animals. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm as an allegory about the rise of the Soviet Union and the dangers of communism.

@AngelaSchmidtcharismakitty Ай бұрын

⬆️ I came here to make this exact comment. I had to write a paper on Animal Farm in high school, and it’s even more interesting when you know what Orwell was trying to convey with the story. I was hoping Gavin would do a little more digging on the book and stumble upon this information. It was interesting to hear his perspective on it, though.

I already knew how things turned out with the original house (congratulations, btw), but I was still getting a little excited for you at the idea of moving closer to Becca. Granted, I'm a total stranger who doesn't know either of you, but part of me was disappointed that didn't work out. The new place does sound lovely. I hope you are able to vlog a lot of the moving process, though it would be understandable if you're too stressed for that when the time comes.

So glad you liked animal farm in the end! Mostly I see people reading this one at uni and analysing it, so it is kind of nice to hear someone's opinion who has picked it up otherwise. It's definitely my favourite Orwell as I find it incredibly clever and it does the satire so very well. I had a good time with you should see me in a crown as well! Very cute and enjoyable and had some meaningful moments to it too. I love Poirot but I still need to read mysterious affair of styles and I should really get on that. Having so many videos SCHEDULED is absolutely amazing, your POWER! I could never haha.

Funnily enough I had the same experience with an apartment where i was second choice, mourned the place when i didn't get it and then eventually got it in the end. 😅 I currently live in this place and i live it so much! I was so unhappy at my last place and the property and landlord were also shite. So i can kinda feel how you're feeling, especially with the feeling that you feel like you can't really celebrate yet. But like I said, I'm very, very happy for you!!

Was finally able to watch this video and so interesting to watch your real-time reactions for your house hunt. I think the Universe wanted you to have the home you desired.

So SO happy for you getting the house you wanted!! As for the books you read- I absolutely LOVE KJ Charles so I hope you give her work another try sometime! She's definitely more on the romantic suspense with a side of sass type of writer so if you were looking for a more chill read I can see that not matching your mood. Also, The Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel is book 2 of a duology so I'm not sure if you read book 1 but she typically plots her series to have interlocking plots that need to be read in order even if the individual titles follow different couples. I highly recommend Band Sinister or The Henchmen of Zenda if you want to try one of her standalones. Society of Gentlemen is a fantastic series as is Sins of the Cities but they both absolutely need to be read in order.

Moving is a lot to process but I am extremely happy for you that you were approved for the property you were wanting 🥰
