a lovely day today today is a lovely day it really is i hope you are doing well i'm outside

the sun is shining here in england and it is quiet as well i wasn't sure if it was going

to be noisy here today but it would appear that everything is quiet it's quite peaceful

today which makes a very welcome change thank you very much for joining me today i hope

you are having a good day wherever you are i know new people are joining as i talk to

you now i can see

there are new people joining the live chat you may already notice that my hat is different

i have combined all of my smiley faces into one big smiley face so that's the reason why

i only have one big smiley face on my hat because all of the other ones have been combined

they have joined together and they have become one big super smiley face yes it is day number

26 i have been with you every day during this month the month of february or should i say

fab you weary it has been an interesting month we've had some moments of joy some moments

of sadness some moments of confusion to be honest with you most of the time confusion

is what most people feel when they watch me they're thinking what the heck is that what

is getting gone in front of my face don't worry it's okay i'm outside i'm doing something

slightly different today there are some slight differences to today's live stream i wonder

if you can tell what they are here's an interesting question for today what thing and it can be

anything what thing do you do for the most time during your day now the only thing you

can't say is sleep because we all do that but besides sleeping what thing what activity

do you do for most of the time during the day now i know what you're going to say mr

duncan haven't you heard the news everyone is having to stay at home well at least quite

a few people are so i know that as well but what about your normal day what activity what

thing besides sleep because we all we all go to sleep at night i know that besides that

what is the other activity that you do often or for the most time during the day

there are some people going by behind me i think they are watching me they are wondering

what i'm doing they are thinking why is that strange man standing in his garden talking

to himself don't worry it's all right it's only the internet don't panic it's only the

internet that's what i say anyway valentin hello valentin nice to see you here valentin

says i spend most of my time drinking tea well i suppose that is an interesting activity

we all like to refresh ourselves from time to time sometimes during the day you might

feel a little hungry or perhaps a little thirsty maybe you need something to drink so yes i

think that's okay i don't think there's anything wrong with that

noisy people hello to the live chat i almost forgot you don't worry i won't forget you

i'm here now talking to you hello fernando bless you hello also irene hello grace hello

mohsen nice to see you all here today joining me live on youtube from the birthplace of

the english language which happens to be england did you know that the english language is

now over a thousand years old that's incredible isn't it we'll be talking more about that

by the way on sunday we will be talking about the english language and the fact that the

english language has now been around for around a thousand years it's incredible so we we

will be taking a look back in time at some of the classic moments of the english language

that is happening on sunday hello to florence hello florence florence can i ask you something

i hope you don't mind are you in florence wouldn't that be amazing if you were actually

in florence if your name is florence and you actually live in florence wouldn't that be

amazing can that happen anywhere else are there any other names that you can give to

a person that is also a place hmm i wonder i'm just trying to think of it there is an

actress called america have you seen her i think she used to be in ugly betty many years

ago and now of course she starts in superstore a very funny tv show but yes isn't it amazing

yes sometimes you can be called or named after a place name

can you hear the birds i think the birds are getting a little bit angry because they want

to feed but of course i'm standing here gabbling to you and they can't they can't feed because

they're too afraid they're too frightened paris oh yes that's a good one i've just thought

of that paris you can call maybe your daughter your newborn daughter you can name her paris

i like that one paris like who was that person oh my goodness i can't remember her name oh

that's right

paris hilton you see so her name was also named after a place but what about other names

can we call ourselves i don't know tokyo or brisbane sydney that's a good one oh yes sydney

australia so sydney is a place name a lot of people think it's the capital but it isn't

sydney is also the name of a man as well so a man can be called sydney the birds are starting

to gang up behind me i'm sorry birds i'm very sorry

the birds are getting very angry can you hear them spring time is on the way it really does

feel as if spring is coming i feel spring is in the air and people are coming out it's

a little bit like animals in the wintertime when they're all underground asleep and they

are hibernating and then suddenly when the nice weather comes along they all start to

come out because the weather is getting nice the sun is shining and the temperature is

starting to rise and the little animals come out from their hibernation and that's what's

happening with people people are doing the same thing we are all starting to explore

our surroundings suddenly because the weather is getting better hello alessandra hello also

sanjar mohsen nice to see you here today we also have alessandra paolo hello paolo

paolo kevilani i hope i pronounce your name right how could i live without you before

how do i go through one night without you if i had to live without you what kind of

world would this be something like that maybe i must say there are a lot of people walking

around today hello also to belarusia nice to see you here as well thank you very much

belarusia for your lovely lovely messages hello also valentin so what other names can

you give someone named after a place a place name i'm thinking of some now i'm trying to

think of some place names for example well we had paris what about venice can you call

a person venice is that a lady's name or a man's name venice i've never met anyone called

venice chicago oh yes chicago a well-known place a well-known city in the united states

i think you can call people chicago i'm sure i've heard of someone in the past who was

actually called chicago

we know florence already and it's your fault florence it's your fault that's that's what

happened you see because when i heard your name suddenly my brain started getting very

excited you see french oh yes i supposed you could use french as a person's first name

there was there was an actor many years ago called french and his name was french i think

he was in third rock from the sun a very funny tv show about aliens coming down

starring john lithgow hello mr donnie your hello doni your alas i think that is a greeting

isn't it used by muslims i think it is if i'm wrong please tell me jordan oh well done

sora well done yes sora says jordan of course why didn't i think of that jordan is a great

name and i think it can be a man's name or a woman's name so i think you can have jordan

as a man for example there is a well-known psychologist called jordan peterson so his

name is jordan and also you can have a woman's name a woman can also be named jordan as well

that is very good i like that one

tomek is here hello tomek it's very kind of you to say hello could you please keep the

noise down could you pee could you please keep it down a notch so when we say keep it

down a notch it means keep it down just a little bit not too much so if if a person

is being too noisy you might say to them could you please turn it down

a notch just a little bit thank you tomic

any other names carolina oh you are very good at this by the way carolina i suppose you

could say that that is a girl's name and i believe also it was um a song by you know

right dakota can also be a name a given name to a person you can use that dakota dakota

there is an actress

an actress called dakota dakota fanning is that right have i got her name right it just

seems strange that a man of my age is talking about current names of actors and actresses

dakota fanning is that her name it doesn't sound right it sounds like something rude

hello falguni falguni patel is here on the live chat nice to see you here today as well

dakota oh dakota fanning i was right

prizes to be honest especially today because i'm standing outside in the garden it's freezing

is absolutely freezing cold very cold outside today

oh yes nam hu tran says what about ho chi minh city well of course ho chi minh city

is named after ho chi minh and quite often if you go into if you go into vietnamese schools

quite often you will see a picture of ho chi minh normally above maybe the blackboard or

as you enter the room you will see there is often a picture of ho chi minh you are right

that's a good one sanjar says what about athens athens well i've never heard anyone called

hello fellow english addicts hello soren nice to see you here today can you hear the birds

at the moment i've got birds all around me but they are they are too afraid they are

too s too shy to come near me they want to feed you see can you see behind me just behind

me there is there it is a bird feeder right there and that is what they are waiting for

they want to go there and feed from the bird feeder but they can't because i'm standing

here

in lithuania there is a girl called europa again i did not know that but yes it's quite

a nice name actually it sounds very feminine have you ever noticed how some names sound

feminine they sound as if they they belong to a female of course these days you have

to be careful you have to be careful what you say because assigning genders to people

and talking about pronouns it is a very risky thing to talk about hello rosa hello mr duncan

thanks for each lesson during february you're absolutely amazing thank you very much i i

do appreciate your kind words thanks a lot for helping me to improve my english thank

you rose rose silva

tomek says who tried to study for a paternity test please step forward as i understand it

a paternity test is when you try to work out who the father of a child is so maybe there

is a child and maybe two men come along and say they are both the father of the child

so yes then you take a paternity test use using dna very technical i must say we are

talking about a lot of things today here i am standing in the garden on just another

friday afternoon here in england tennessee christina can i just say you are very good

at this tennessee yes well of course there was a famous author playwright poet tennessee

williams a lot of people think of his great american classics quite often they are taught

in school when i was in school there was one book in fact there were two books that we

read as part of our english curriculum one of them was of mice in men

and the other one was a story called kez a story about a a boy who adopts a kestrel and

looks after it but the boy lives in a working class area and also he he's a little shy a

little awkward but he adopts this wonderful beautiful kestrel and he takes care of it

i won't tell you what happens in the story but it is the most amazing story and i remember

studying that story at school for my for part of my english curriculum

wellington yes wellington can also be a name that name sounds like it must be a man i think

wellington sounds like a male name it does

mr donnie your says hello mr duncan how is your health can i just say my health is robust

i am feeling robust fit as a fiddle strong healthy

maybe even virile oh fancy pants so yes i suppose wellington could be a name yes i have

heard of uzbekistan although i'm not very good at spelling it

hello we also have christina again yes wellington is in new zealand one of my students who i

used to teach in china many years ago now lives in new zealand

sam rainbow says the dna test should be used for sophie in mamma mia do you know mamma

mia i know the song by abba i've never seen the movie and there is one reason for that

i don't want to hear people singing badly in movies so i've seen little bits little

parts of mamma mia the movie mamma mia here i go again why why but i i don't really want

to see james bond singing badly you know how i mean yeah you know what's his name i can't

remember his name he used to play james bond didn't he many years ago but i don't want

to see him trying to sing to be honest vitas has a birthday but it's not his birthday today

vitas is celebrating his grandson his grandson's second birthday so congratulations i wish

i could give you a round of applause but i'm not in the studio unfortunately i'm in the

garden but yes can i say happy birthday to vitas and also your your grandson please send

him my warmest

wishes apparently it was pierce brosnan pierce brosnan

who used to play james bond you know who would be good playing james bond me i would be a

brilliant james bond because no one would ever suspect no one would ever look at me

and say oh he's an undercover spy he's licensed to thrill no one would ever think that so

i think i would be a really good james bond i think so hello mr duncan all actors sang

pretty well in mamma mia i suppose i'm starting to think maybe i have a lot of mamma mia fans

watching so i should be careful what i'm saying i think so hello to oh can i say hello to

teacher i know that it is freezing cold there but the background is amazing i enjoy watching

your garden thank you belarusia thank you very much for that is there something that

you do more than anything else during the day now besides sleeping is there an activity

something that you do more than anything else besides sleeping so not sleeping because we

all do that but is there something if one of you says the magic word i will talk about

a particular subject

tomek is very funny today you are very funny tomek i think maybe last night you must have

had a very good sleep because you are being very witty today a lot of people saying congratulations

beatrice oh beatrice beatrice is a fan of colin firth he often plays the romantic lead

normally in these sort of romantic period dramas yes he's often in those colin firth

a british actor and and often he will play romantic leads he will play the part of the

dashing handsome man i could play that as well i could play both of those things james

bond and also the romantic lover i think so

christina is mentioning the bird behind me yes the bird behind me

is it's actually a heron but it's not real it's made of plastic but it looks very nice

in my garden so i always like to come outside or look out of my window and i can see my

lovely heron sitting in the garden and it does get a lot of attention from the animals

a lot of the birds like to come down and there is there is one robin in my garden and he

always flies down and he lands on the heron's head he he sits on top of the heron in the

morning singing it's very funny

sebastian sebastian says mr duncan how can i say in english the action of warming your

food is there a special word for this activity if you warm your food you can say that you

heat your food or you heat up your food so perhaps sometimes when you buy food from the

supermarket you you have to put it in the oven so we would say that you heat up the

food you have to heat up the food or of course you can just say heat you have to heat the

food before you eat it maybe you buy some some type of pie or maybe a quiche i can't

remember the last time i had a quiche i love quiche especially when it's got little pieces

of ham or or tomato inside so i haven't eaten quiche for a long time but yes we often say

that you heat up something you put it in the oven because you need to heat it up you warm

the food you heat the food and that it's safe to eat so quite often if you buy food that

is cold quite often they are or they will advise you to actually heat the food up that

is what they will often do bruno's home life hello to bruno watching in brazil welcome

back i haven't seen you for a very very very long time hello mr duncan i'm back again on

your live stream i am bruno from nova cruz in brazil thank you so much you are welcome

no problem i'm having a super duper day i hope you are as well i'm standing in the garden

at the moment i'm freezing cold and i have something i want to show you something that

mr steve received a few days ago for his birthday can i just show you this oh look at that now

has anyone ever eaten fudge fudge so there it is there is the word sea salted fudge fudge

is the most amazing thing in the world it really is i absolutely love fudge however

this particular type of fudge is absolutely delicious i'm not going to show you the brand

because you know now i've stopped advertising things i don't show things now because i don't

receive anything you see i don't get any payments when i show products so so there it is it

is a type of fudge but this particular one is delicious it is can you see the word it

says fabulous fabulous i like that word you see and can i just say this particular fudge

is fabulous absolutely gorgeous in fact you might say that this is too nice because i

bought some more so mr steve had some given to him for his birthday and then i actually

bought some more because this is the most amazing fudge i've ever tasted it is very

it is very sweet some people say that fudge makes them feel sick so if you eat too much

of this you might start feeling a little sick but this is gorgeous fudge so thank you to

mr steve's friend for introducing me to the most delicious sweet food ever

christina says i think it is difficult

birds are going crazy i think it is difficult to find that particular type of fudge in other

countries i don't know what's going on with the animals today they're going crazy

strange sound i love the name brooklyn as we were talking about earlier there are lots

of names that you can call your child and you can name them after a famous place we

had paris of course and there are lots of others india yes i think i can't think of

any famous people called india but i think yes i i'm sure you can call maybe a girl india

i think so fudge fudge is a noun it is a type of sweet food made with caramel so it's basically

sugar that is heated up and then mixed with other things and then it goes solid and you

have the most amazing sweet it is absolutely gorgeous if you have never tried fudge i suggest

you give it a go you give it a try because it's gorgeous

fudge now i would assume that many people would know that or or maybe you've heard of

fudge before so i'm quite quite amazed

is mr steve joining me today no he isn't because he's working it is a work day you see so steve

is actually working today so no anna asks is fudge a type of chocolate it isn't fudge

is not chocolate however you can have chocolate with fudge inside so you can have chocolate

and then inside it there is fudge contained within it

fudge as a verb to fudge something oh i see yes you can use the word fudge as a verb if

you're trying to cover something up or to distract away from something i believe it's

often used in politics when you are trying to fudge a certain issue or a topic or maybe

you are trying to to erase or cover something fudge i think that's how you use it it used

to be used a lot in politics as well so yes it can be used as a verb you are right

a soft candy made from sugar butter milk or cream thank you vitas so those are the main

ingredients contained in fudge and most of those ingredients just happen to be my favourite

food as well so that might be the reason why i like to eat it maybe

yes there are lots of interesting names that you can call your children i'm not sure these

days i think here in england or certainly here in the uk a lot of people are calling

their children or naming them after famous singers famous pop stars or perhaps maybe

members of the royal family you see so because over the years the young members of the royal

family are now having their own children for example prince william and also prince harry

so now they are having their children and they are naming them and many people are copying

those names so if a baby comes along a royal baby quite often people will use the same

name for example charlotte i like charlotte actually charlotte is a nice name i do like

that name alessandra hello alessandra says mr duncan do not eat too much fudge or else

you will get fat thank you very much that is a good health warning there thank you i

will take note i will try my best not to eat too much fudge i will

n duo hello to you nice to see you here today i hope you received your notification i have

a feeling you didn't yes a lot of people who subscribe to me also like to receive notifications

when i'm doing my live streams but it doesn't always happen i don't know why it's very strange

sebastian this particular type of food this particular fudge i will show it to you again

this particular fudge contains sea salt so yes you are right it does have a very sweet

but also a very salty flavour so you have that interesting combination of salt and also

sweetness at the same time it is interesting sometimes how certain flavours go together

very well even though they seem like opposites so sweet and salty can often go together quite

well i don't know why another thing that i like tasting is dark chocolate and mint so

if you combine dark chocolate and mint together you get the most amazing taste i don't know

what happens but something very strange happens in your mouth

yes fudge is tasty you are right but also very dangerous for your teeth that is true

one of the things i noticed when i started eating fudge last week i noticed that my teeth

started to hurt especially at the back so i think what was happening is some of the

fudge was actually getting in between my teeth and sticking in there and then it was making

my teeth very sensitive i'm sure i'm sure belarusia will tell me why that is happening

i think so

oh gosal guzal says i like dark chocolate

can you please move your camera around so we can see your amazing garden that's not

as easy to do in this situation because my camera is actually fixed at the moment on

top of a tripod so it isn't easy at the moment to move my camera around but i'm hoping tomorrow

i'm hoping tomorrow also to be in the garden so hopefully i will be outside tomorrow yes

you heard me right i will be back with you tomorrow 2pm uk time tomorrow i will be live

with you again so i would love to move the camera but tomorrow if i'm outside tomorrow

i will move the camera somewhere else so tomorrow we will have a different view of the garden

can you hear the robin

there is a robin watching me

there are lots of birds now sitting in the tree behind me by the way the tree behind

me is my damson tree and that is where all that lovely fruit comes from during september

and october tomek could you please elaborate on a british

slang word faff f a f f to faff is to waste time if you faff it means you waste time you

are playing around you are using your time in a bad way you are wasting time faff you

are taking too long to do something you faff you faff you fuss you waste time you are doing

something and it's taking too long you faff around you are faffing about so if you faff

it means you are wasting time you are delaying so i hope that answers your question yes i

am outside today it is a lovely day here in england and i am enjoying some of the wonderful

sights and sounds hopefully tomorrow we will also be outside as well hopefully if the weather

is good and it's not too noisy i will also be outside tomorrow as well yes i will be

going in around about five minutes i will be saying goodbye in five minutes

so i hope that explains the word faff f a double f faff to waste time you are messing

around you are taking too long to do something you are fussing we often say that a person

is fussing and faffing it's a great word but we do use it yes we still use it now in english

definitely

oh i can't stop thinking about fudge i don't know why my mind is wondering i am going into

a fever dream as i think about all the delicious fudge in that box

i might have some tonight

sure hello mr duncan i tried to draw your face yesterday were you successful how did

it turn out was your your art was it a work of art was it wonderful did your art turn

talked all about fudge wow i am going to have a piece of fudge as soon as this is finished

this after i've finished my live stream definitely

oh interesting tomek wants to talk about lockdown does anyone else want to talk about it i don't

think so to be honest i don't want to talk about it eve some people seem to think that

life will be back to normal by the end of june whilst other people think we might not

be i don't really know because i'm not a health expert you may have noticed i'm not an expert

on health so i'm not exactly sure what the road to normality will be but some people

are hoping that by the end of june things will be back to normal i don't know i really

don't know i don't think anyone really knows what's going to happen next to be honest even

the experts quite often you will see people on tv talking about the lockdown and and the

course of action and vaccinations but to be honest with you i don't think anyone really

knows what the outcome or the result of all this will be i don't think i don't think anyone

really knows if i was honest it's almost time to say goodbye get your messages in now don't

forget give me a thumbs up and also share my video feel free to do that
