We Spent $1 | Another Day In The City
It's time to go to the city. I remember it looking nicer. We went for a bike ride today And here we are at our final destination, IKEA. So we decided we are going to treat ourselves. Hi guys! Today we are starting our video where we normally end our videos because soon we will have to leave our country house and head back to the city. Yeah we are going to harvest a few things before we go There are some interesting fruits and vegetables and unknown, so we are going to show you that and then we plan to go to Brno and continue our video there. Yeah, so that's interesting, right? Should be So let's take a look at what we have to harvest and then we'll see what happens. Okay
I'm picking blackberries. We have quite a few of them here which is great and Tommy cleared out this area because it was full of nettles and now it's more accessible I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, there are a lot of them so that's great of course We haven't had many blackberries this year yet. No We are right next to the rooster. He loves us. Uh-huh I'm sure that's why he's doing that. Yeah, he's greeting us
In the end the bowl is almost full. Wow. Yeah, so this is amazing. So many, I didn't expect that. And there are still a lot of them there. They are getting ripe gradually so ta-da. That's awesome. Yeah We've been harvesting our potatoes for some time now and we're going to continue so look. Ooh, I see potatoes. Who would have thought? Nice. Okay, this one is rotten. I guess that's the original one. Okay. That's the mother. But they look great. Perfect size and everything
We are harvesting our poppy seeds, looks like they are ripe as well. And what we love about it is that it was quite effortless. We didn't have to do anything, we just planted it and we let it grow here, we let the weeds overgrow it but we still have a harvest. Yeah, the heads are not very big They would be bigger if we took care of them but there are poppy seeds inside so better than nothing. This was just a fun experiment so we'll see how much we are going to harvest of this
It should be more than we planted so that's the main thing, I think. Okay, so these are white poppy seeds, not so many of them but we have a lot of blue poppy seeds. Nice Looks great. So we'll see how it goes pouring out the seeds because we've never done that before This is completely new to us. It sounds like a boring activity but we'll have to do it But we can do that later, maybe not today because we have to leave soon so I don't know if we have enough time. We are going to try to get the white poppy seeds out of the
poppy seed head or what's the terminology. We don't have that many of them so there is time for us to try this It feels like adding salt to a meal. Yeah It's making the sound as well. Now the biggest one This was so much fun, right? And this is the amount we harvested from two meters squared of planted area. But it was just an empty area which we wanted to use for something. I don't
think we're going to plant poppy seeds again next year because if we wanted to plant the amount we eat every year then we would probably have to plant poppy seeds in the whole field. Yeah But it looks very pretty, I like these decorations It's time to go to the city so we'll see you there. Yeah, it's dark outside as always. It's almost nine o'clock, this is the usual time we are leaving but it's getting dark sooner of course, so sad. The summer is progressing fast. So yeah, see you in the city Our balcony is so green, I love it. We already harvested a lot of strawberries and blueberries and now it's tomatoes' time to shine. So many of them. Yeah They're doing really well here, much better than at the country home because it's warmer here and it doesn't rain directly on them but they get a lot of sunshine and I water them regularly so we stopped buying tomatoes and we will start eating our own now. And basil is huge as well
now. I tried planting basil at the country home and it didn't grow up at all. Yeah, it's impossible to grow basil at the country house, I don't know why. Something's eating it, I guess. Yeah, probably And here more tomatoes as well. Tomatoes everywhere We went for a bike ride today. It's quite hot, about 30 degrees Celsius so not the ideal conditions
but since we're here already, we can show you some places along the way This is a gardening colony or that's what we call it, it's like a community for people with gardens and they are in every city or town in the Czech Republic. It's for people who don't have houses so even if you live in an apartment, you can still have your own garden and do the gardening here and grow your own veggies. When I was a kid or a teenager, we had one in my hometown as well and I went there with my mom and we did gardening together and I quite enjoyed it And you can rent a garden or you can buy it if it's possible, right? Usually you rent it from the city council, I guess But gardening is very popular in our country, a lot of people do it. Yeah, okay, so let's continue
Our next stop is here at this beautiful old villa We are not going inside for the tour because we did that already a few years ago but there is also a nice garden This is an interesting fruit, I've never seen something like that before Yes, definitely a fruit. You should try it out. It is, it was a flower before and now it's a fruit But the villa is not very visible because there is a lot of greenery. Nice tree. Maybe from here Okay guys, I remember it looking nicer. I don't know, this is not what I remember Anyway, this old villa was built in 1906 so more than 115 years ago. So it's almost as
old as our country home. Yes it is, look at that And it's built by a famous architect. There are very nice interiors inside, wooden structures and everything. He also built other buildings for example in other part of our country a nice observation tower and we were there I don't know, five years ago in winter and it was very fairy-tale-ish, I would say. It looks
very colorful and very beautiful. Yeah and he also built that memorial in Slovakia, right? Yeah, there was this very important Slovak general that was one of the founders of Czechoslovakia He died very abruptly because there was an accident, airplane accident and this architect built this big memorial for him. Which we visited as well. Yeah, we visited everything And that's it, I guess so we can continue. Okay
It seems like it's starting to rain. What say you, mister weatherman? Yeah, there are thunderstorms developing above us and everywhere around us. How did you plan this trip? This is very greatly planned, it's almost 30 degrees Celsius. Ah, so it was a planned refreshment along the way? Yes that's exactly what I planned. I thought so We are faster than the rain shower so it wasn't able to catch us. And here we are, this is called the Red Hill because rocks here are a bit pinkish and there are very nice views from here. This
is Brno exhibition center so what's happening there usually? Exhibitions. Exhibitions, yes And we went to get vaccinated there as well Oh yeah, that's true. There is a big vaccination center so we got our both doses there. We are here at the vaccination center and we are gonna get vaccinated in half an hour. Yeah, we've just arrived with enough time to get ready but we're
gonna go inside in a while to fill in the forms and everything. We are at the exhibition center in Brno, for example this big building but parts of it were converted into a big vaccination center so we are going to stand there and wait for our turn. That's our queue there. Yeah Okay, so it's done. Our first dose Look at this. It was quite chaotic I would say because, not chaotic but overwhelming because there were a lot of people but it was well organized. What I didn't like was that we were separated because it was organized according
to your last name. If you got my last name when we registered, we would be together. Yeah, but oh well So we were sitting there separately and we were texting each other. WhatsApp-ing. And yeah, we are waiting for our second dose in six weeks. Seven No six. Oh yeah, six by seven, six. Six, yeah, and there was a gay flag there. Did you see that? I had one as well. Because it's pride month and I was quite surprised because it's not a thing here, like it's not big so it was a nice surprise Okay, so six weeks later we got our second dose. Yay, so long face mask Not really. But yeah, we are really glad that it's done and it's raining, there are thunderstorms. You
can't see but yeah. Yawn. It's different. Okay let's go home. It's evening, I'm a bit tired so we decided we are going to treat ourselves. Yay. So we ordered pizza which is an exception because that doesn't happen very often. We decided I'm not going to prepare dinner but instead we'll have pizza and that's great. Yeah, it only happens a few times per year. Yeah and we deserve it. We do
And it was over two weeks ago so we are fully covered now. Yeah, we are, it was almost a month ago now so we are fully vaccinated. So Brno exhibition center, there you can see the city center There is a castle in the city center, the Špilberk castle and here you can see the cathedral So we are not far from the city center. And this cute little village here, it's a part of the city of course and it's very cute little houses, not much space there, it's called a stony colony or a stone colony because this is a former quarry and workers that worked in the quarry built houses here later? I don't know it was for poor laborers, right? Yeah But now it looks very cute and you can visit even a small restaurant there, I think so it's nice. And those buildings on the hill, that's still Brno as well
just another neighborhood. Yeah, up on the hill and behind those hills there are also parts of Brno. Yeah, it's huge. Yeah it is. Second biggest city in the country Look at this big mulberry tree We will have something like that in our garden. In just a few years. Ours is still quite small but it's growing And there are fruits here. Are they ripe? These ones are black, look. So these are the fruits Can you see it? They look similar to blackberries which is quite interesting but they grow on a tree Yum, they are very sweet and very yum. Delicious Let me find some for you honey as well
Oh thank you. Here you are. What am I, a dog? Just be grateful. Thank you Yeah, it's very delicious. Yeah This is quite a nice area, very modern These are offices and hotels and fake lake we have here as well Have you seen some fish? No, but there's a lotus flower here. Oh
Yay. There's another one there. So pretty This already appeared in one of our videos but it's still relevant and I really like it It's still true so we have to put it here again. Yeah, this is nice This is a great biking trail It is, totally best for bicycles These houses are very interesting to me, like something from Scandinavia Nordic looking houses. It's a Nordic delight And here we are at our final destination, IKEA So why are we here, Peter? There is a reason of course. I got this email from IKEA that said
Peter, we haven't seen you for a long time Come visit us, here is a voucher for like eleven dollars. Wow. And go wild. So that's why we are here. To go wild. Yeah and this is a trap of course on their side but we are not going to buy anything because we are going for lunch So we're gonna spend whole eleven dollars on food. Yes, because the voucher is valid at the IKEA restaurant as well. Wow, we're gonna be so full. Absolutely. Okay, let's go And here we are. Here we are. So what do we have here?
IKEA meatballs but these ones are without meat. So just balls. Yeah, balls And almond cake. Looks delicious. And my darling has the same but he has French fries. Yes, and you have mashed potatoes? Mashed potatoes, yes. But it was twelve dollars guys so we had to pay one dollar from our own pocket. Yeah, so we lost but not really This is a success. This is how you shop. Ok, so enjoy Okay, guys. We are stuffed so we can head back home now. Yeah, we are so full that we can say this was a successful mission. So we one, IKEA zero Do you agree, honey? Definitely. Yes. Losers. Okay, so
that's it for today's video. Don't forget to give us a thumbs up and see you guys next time. Bye! Bye!
