Hi, welcome back.
Today I want to show you a place I'm staying in.
It's early morning hours so my voice is still quite not awake.
This is Bobby, I'm taking care of him since he was 2 weeks old and now he's maybe 2 months.
So it got really cold and rainy and windy here in Catalonia and I just felt like being
off grid without any basic necessities like shower, toilet, kitchen sink.
It's just getting too hard to deal with and it's just not worth it because it consumes
my whole energy, my brain power just to sort out survival tasks.
So I am currently pet sitting, no, I'm currently house sitting and I did bring a pet with me.
So I'm still in the same area, I'm around 10 minutes away from my previous location
and I moved in just yesterday and I'm really happy that, you know, it's so much easier
now.
Now I have a wood burner, I can bake things, I can have, you know, a warm night's sleep.
So this is my current vlogging space.
Welcome to Finca Jordi, or however it is pronounced.
You won't actually remember this house because I did some gardening here in the past because
it was getting ready for sale, so that was a couple of, good couple of weeks ago.
House is still for sale, it had some viewings, but I'll be able to stay here for at least
three months and I'm hoping, you know, I really like this place since like day zero.
So now I can call it home for a little bit.
So in just a couple of visits, I also learned how the water is delivered to the house.
There is a well, which is great value to have here because it costs at least €10,000
to drill.
However, I think the tank might go empty because I don't have water in the pipes, so I'm just
going to see if the tank has any water on my climbing.
The way the garden is set up here, it's like just like terraces.
So you have to do a fair amount of climbing to get where you want to be, because I imagine
that the reason the tank is higher is because it's a gravity fed system, so the water is
higher and it just kind of drips down to the house.
Okay, so now I know what's going on.
The way the tank is built, like the pipe that gets water out of the inside of the tank,
it's a bit higher.
It's not all the way in the ground.
So there is water, but it just doesn't reach that exit for the water to go.
So I need to learn today how to use the well.
Excited!
And if you ever need fresh rosemary, hit me up.
This, all these are rosemary.
It's crazy.
It's amazing.
It smells so good.
The house has normal power, which is quite rare for rural properties here in Spain, but
it has its own water.
So it has its own well, which is like a limited amount of water.
If you ask me, these things, they just, it's a lifetime investment.
So it's awesome that, you know, this house has already that kind of come with it.
And apart from like a living space and a really good sized kitchen, it has two bedrooms.
The bedroom on the left is a bit more of a junkyard currently because there's my clothes
and also some, a lot of beddings, pillows, I don't know where they're coming from, but
they just like stacked up on the bed.
And the bedroom on the right is where I slept last night and it was very comfortable.
This fireplace kept me warm last night.
There is plenty of wood already cut, but on the land, there is just so much wood available.
I just have to cut it, stack it up and I'll have endless supply of things to burn, which
is great.
And I very often doing gardening, I can also take any branches because otherwise they'll
be burned and like this energy in a way, it will be wasted.
Bobinku, hello, did you put your head somewhere around the gas?
I see your brows, but what happened to your brows?
