So, again, warm? Yes. Well, almost. But still, still, a lot of free time for me, for me, and, oh, almost, almost. I do have a family dinner, though. I have a family dinner, though. So, again, almost, almost. But then, sure, time to relax, sit back, watch, listen, whatever, have a nap. Though, I should do a bit of workout. So, almost, again. But then, then, time for myself. Definitely. Hmm... Though I didn't do my language routine today. Though, I didn't do it. Well, I hate that. I hate that. I'm not worried. I'm not worried, though. I am not worried, though.

Luke Likes 'Sick Of It' Sick of it, sick of it. I'm sick, I'm sick and also I am sick of this, I am sick of it. Yeah. So when you say you are sick of something, you are sick of it, it is just too much for you and you can't stand it anymore. So you are tired of that and you just hate it. And me? Well, I am sick of being sick because I'm sick again, I'm sick, oh jeez, I am sick again and I can't stand it. It is not a big deal. so in English when you say it is not a big deal, you mean it is not a big problem, it is not a big deal, but still, still I am sick and I am not quite right. So I am tired, first of all, I feel tired and well, I keep coughing, I keep coughing, which is not a good thing, not a good thing, I did have a little fever, but not anymore, so that's a good thing, I'm getting better, and I'm having a bit of trouble speaking, you might hear that in my voice. Oh, and oh, also I am sick of that, I'm sick of that too, I have a runny nose, runny nose. So again, not a big deal, but well annoying, that's what I would say, that's annoying, annoying. And I'm wondering, I am wondering - why do I keep catching a cold, why do I keep catching this horrible cold? Am I doing something wrong here, am I doing something wrong? People keep telling me that I should boost my immune system, in other words, because that's quite complicated, I'm not a doctor here, in other words, help my body a little bit, defend itself, defend, so that I don't keep getting sick so much. Yeah, so let me have a look at some ideas. So they say, do you sleep enough, meaning seven, eight, maybe more hours a night? Well I do, I do, I get to seven, I get to seven, sometimes, sometimes even more. And then, do you eat nutritious food, nutritious? So that's diet rich in, rich in vegetables, fruits, protein and some elements, and I think I do, again I think I do. Hey, maybe do you exercise regularly, do you exercise? And yes, of course, I love that, I love that, so it must be something else here, it must be, something else. Do you wash your hands regularly? So do you practice good hygiene, practice good hygiene? Well I'm not bad at that. So maybe alcohol, smoking, fast food, anything? Nope, nope, I don't do that either, I don't do that either, and still I'm sick. So how about this, do you supplement, supplement your diet with vitamins, some nutrients, minerals? And yes I do, I do. So what is wrong here? Well, I'm sick of that. So here comes the last one, are you stressed, and do you take time to relax regularly, take time to relax? Well, I thought I did, I thought, to be honest, I'm not so sure about that. But I know what I'm gonna do right now. Just sit back, listen to my favorite podcast and do nothing, Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people! ------------------------------------------- Intro/Outro Music By: Joakim Karud -Longing License:Creative Commons License
Luke Likes 'It Turns Out' Bad day, oh sometimes I do, I do have a bad day, not usually I suppose, not, usually I suppose not. Well I hope not, no definitely not, definitely not. But that was the case, that was the case, well yesterday, yesterday. So I woke up, I woke up thinking, oh, this is going to be a perfect day, a perfect day. Just look at this weather, look at this weather, it is going to be just wonderful. Well it turns out, it turns out, it turns out, well it wasn't, it wasn't. It was cloudy, I could not see the sun, I could not see their sun at all, so that was disappointing and a bad start of the day. So I got off, got off to a bad start, meaning it started badly. Yeah I took it as a sign, I took it as a sign, because the whole day was like that. So as usual I wanted to make my breakfast, oatmeal obviously, and to my surprise, to my surprise, it turns out, it turns out, well I didn't have any, I didn't have any, so I couldn't prepare my breakfast, which by the way very rarely happens, very. Anyway, anyway I still had my coffee, my morning coffee, yeah it won't be that bad, I thought, it won't. Well it turns out, it turns out, well I have run out of coffee as well, I have run out, so no coffee left. Oh god. Okay, that was my fault, but come on, breakfast and coffee, running out at the same time, on the same day, and the same morning. That was just bad luck, Well I will just drink my green tea instead, instead, I thought. Hey do I have green tea? Yeah, so I checked and yes I did, I did, but it turns out, it turns out, while I was opening the box, the tea box, so the box that I keep my green tea in, well, was left open, was left open, and I did that, was left open and while I was reaching, reaching for it out of the cabinet, it fell on the floor, and the tea spilled, spilled all over the place. Oh my. Seriously? On the same day, just a bad bad day, what else could go wrong here, what else?, I thought, because obviously that was not the end, that wasn't, that wasn't the end. So later on, later on I had two appointments with furniture people, two separate appointments, and well, yeah, you guessed all right, you guessed it. It turns out that the first one, the first guy, called me and said that he was too busy to come, too busy. And the other one, well, it turns out he didn't even text me, or call me. He just didn't show up at all, so he didn't come. Yeah, that's what happened. So overall not the best day of my life, I must say,. And you know what, you know what? Turns out, it turns out, Friday 13th is coming up, Friday 13th, and just can't wait to see what will happen on that day, Just can't wait. Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people! ------------------------------------------- Intro/Outro Music By: Joakim Karud -Longing License:Creative Commons License
Luke Likes 'You Know Why' Hey, the spring, the spring is here. Oh my God! The spring is sort of here. Not in the calendar, it is not in the calendar. But yeah, it is outside. I can see it right now, I can feel it, I can smell it. Yeah, and I can hear it. Yeah, I can hear it too. It is definitely here, it is definitely here. That's why, that is why, that's why I do have a lot of energy. Yeah, I do, and I want to use it today. That is why, that's why I am now recording this episode. That's why, that's why I'm doing that. Yeah, and outside, outside, it is getting warmer. And that's why people spend more time outdoors, outside, outdoors. Yeah, me too, me too. It is getting warmer, that's why people change, change their clothes. Yeah, they change into something lighter, something more springy, summery. Oh, maybe not summery yet, maybe not. But definitely something lighter. Oh, oh, oh, and the day is much longer. That's why, that's why we get more of the sunlight, which, which by the way, by the way, is very, very needed. Oh my God, I need the sun, I need sunlight. So it is the beginning of March and the beginning of spring. That's why, that's why people feel more optimistic, optimistic. Yeah, you can feel it, you can feel it. It will not last, so it will not continue, it will not last very long, I'm sure. But right now, people are feeling optimistic, more optimistic. That's why they plan things, they plan things. Hey, how about we change the colour of these walls. Hey, maybe, maybe, maybe we could go on a trip. Or, oh, let's, let's learn a new language. Yeah, not a bad idea at all, not a bad idea. That's why, that's why spring is amazing, it's an amazing time of the year. So like I said, I have plenty of energy, a lot of, plenty of energy right now and I want you, I want you, I want you to notice, to see something in this episode, to see something in it. Why, why?, you might ask. Why? Because, because this is your English practice, that's why. And because you want to be better, that's why. Why, why, why?, you might ask. Well, because you want to communicate in English, you want to understand and you want to speak, that's why. But why, why, why?, you might ask again. Well, because you want to travel and see new places and meet new people, that's why. But why, why?, you might ask again. Why? Well, because you like it, it is fun and exciting, that's why. But why, again, why? Well, that's why! So now you know. Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people! ------------------------------------------- Intro/Outro Music By: Joakim Karud -Longing License:Creative Commons License
Luke Likes 'Makes Sense' Does it make any sense? Does it make any sense to you what I am saying? Does it make any sense? Well, I really, really hope that it makes sense. It makes a lot of sense because this is the point. This is the point to understand what I am saying and to make sense out of all of that. Yeah, so make sure it makes sense to you and while doing that, while you are doing that, make sure you are using your senses. Do you know what senses are? Let me explain a little bit to you. First, use your ears and listen, listen. Can you hear me? Can you hear my voice? Can you? Is it low? Is it high? No, it isn't high. Yeah, not high at all. It sounds low. It sounds low. I'm sure you can hear it. So that's ears and now open your eyes and look, look, look around. What can you see? Can you see me? I'm right in front of you. I'm right in front of you. You should see me. No, actually you should hear me. Just hear me. So what can you see? Me, I'm looking out of the window and I can see it is raining. It is raining right now. I can see it and I can hear it actually. I'm looking and I can also see that it is getting dark. Yeah, that's right. Actually it looks like a night, but it isn't. It looks like that. But now, close your eyes and use your nose. Yeah, you heard me right. Use your nose and smell it, smell it. What can you smell? What can you smell? Hey, can you smell me? Oh, that would be really weird. Anyway, I can smell some wood, some wood, wood. Must be my wooden floor. It smells, it smells of wood. And I can smell a bit of cedar wood, cedar wood. That's from my candle, from my candle. Love cedar wood. It smells just wonderful. Use your mouth. Yep, use your mouth and taste it, taste it. Tell me, what does it taste like? What does it taste like? Wait, wait, wait. It tastes, it tastes good. That's my tea, that's my hot tea. Black tea, so it tastes a little bitter, bitter, not very sweet. Also, I can taste some spices in it, but I'm not sure what they are. Is it cinnamon? It might be. It tastes like cinnamon a little bit. So that's mouth. And finally, use your fingers, use your fingers. Reach your right hand in front of you and touch whatever is in front of you. What does it feel like? Wait, that's my computer and it feels smooth, smooth and hot. Well, maybe not hot, but warm. It feels warm when I touch it. So, does it make any sense right now? What does it look like? And what does it sound like? What does it smell like? And what does it taste like? And finally, what does it feel like? It might sound very complicated, I know. But, look, listen, smell, taste and touch. Then you will understand. Well, it's your turn now.
