 Hey everyone, I know it's been a while, but surprise, I've moved countries and this is the vlog kind of documenting that and all the processes of moving country during a pandemic and trying to find a place to live in Brighton, so we've moved to Brighton, surprise, and we're currently staying at my in-laws house here and we're just trying to find a flat for us that is teapish because we want to try and buy a house in the distant future but we both need to find a flat and we can save up in that would be too expensive so we can have some money to save and yeah it's been a bit of a nightmare trying to find somewhere that isn't completely disgusting or completely too expensive. So we moved from Gibraltar about a month ago now and when I arrived my back threw out so I injured my lower discs in my back and I've been to the osteopath a few times kind of hurt still today but I literally could not walk for about a week then I could hobble and now I can walk around but it still hurts a bit which is just fabulous you know when you've just moved and you want to set everything up so I'm just trying to relaunch my Etsy shop add things on there try and send out all the Patreon rewards that have been missed last month and I'm ordered I've ordered some more postcards I want to order more prints and want to get started on a new comic possibly I want to do all these things I'm feeling very inspired being here. I already went to life drawing and I got this big board from Kraft, Hobbycraft which is really cool I thought Hobbycraft was gonna be like just knitting stuff but they had loads of art things and I'm really happy to be here to just be able to go to a shop and see art supplies that I want not just like oil and paints and kind of more really traditional stuff. Yeah I'm just really happy to be here and I hope that you guys enjoy this vlog so let's roll the footage. Let me talk to the camera about this. When I tried to make ink the guy said to put copper and vinegar in a jar and then wait months and it will turn into iron oxide ink hasn't it just turned into brown sludge and I've kept this for months hoping that it will turn into a nice ink. You know what that might work as ink though. Let's try it now. That would definitely mark on paper. You think so? I think so. Hey let's see if it's alright. About this iron oxide ink. Not quite. Don't zoom? It doesn't do anything it's just brown. Yeah it's disgusting. That was a disappointment. We can side though. Bye Gibraltar. Say goodbye. Sorry for looking absolutely horrendous but I just washed my face and we're actually in the first hotel room now so it's been a long day of travelling and tomorrow we've got more of it and we're staying in this like hotel with the cats. They like upgraded us for free which is really nice and kind of them but the cats are like ah our new place of residence. It is now day two and we're leaving the nice room and we're going to go out to the car and pack everything and see our next journey of seven and a half hours driving. I mean Chris is driving I'm not driving so I feel really bad but hopefully it won't be too bad. Here is the view that we woke up to today. Pretty nice except it's a bit chilly outside but I think it'll be nice. That's Salamanca and we will see it as we drive by it. I'm filming. We just decided to stop on the side of the road an hour before Bordeaux. One hour away and we had to take a picture with the Alka Shroffer aka the... What's it in English? What's Alka Shroffer in English? Artichoke. So yeah and Chris is very tired for driving. Toilet break or the pine cones? Are you sure they're not pine cones? Now we are in Bordeaux right? We are in Bordeaux which is a minute away from the hotel. Why are you filming me? I'm not filming Kubo the escape artist. Hi my little boy. He managed to break out of his cage. He's passenger number three. He's like the king of the car now. Look at that that's cool. Yes Chris. Very nice. How do I go that way? Oh no idea. There the road Chris. Signal. Signal what you're doing. I'm getting it all on camera. Oh yeah this looks cool. This looks cool. This looks like Barcelona as well. This looks like Barcelona. Okay we are at our second stop Bordeaux and this is our room for the night. We're very happy. We're gonna go out and explore the city now because we arrived a bit early right? I think we arrived on time which is the earlier than yesterday I mean. Yeah we arrived with some time to spare. But why am I blurry? It's focusing my fat head. I don't know why I'm blurry. We are in Bordeaux like I said before but now we're just doing a bit of like window shopping and I'm gonna go eat some food but it's really cool some of the stuff that we've seen. I don't know why I'm blurry honestly. You want it clear? There I am. We've got our masks although a lot of people aren't seeming to be wearing masks here so I'm a bit confused but I'll be wearing mine. Yeah. Good morning Chris. Morning I've had for my chocos. What are you having for breakfast? Show the lid. Melted ice cream. It's not melted. It's melted. It's in the fridge. Come on. Show the lid of it. We got these and they were like expensive but. They're delicious. I wasn't they're kind of meh for me so you can have them. It's completely melted. All right. We are packing for day three of the drive to the ferry today. It is a rainy day in Bordeaux. I forgot where we were. I was like where am I in Bordeaux? As you can see it's a bit rainy. Actually it's not too bad. It was super raining yesterday. It was quite nice though in the car driving. This is the view from the hotel and that's about it. Pack it up. Chris are you packing or eating ice cream? I'm eating sushi. Oh it's a hard life isn't it? Royal Majesty. Everyone hasn't got my dad to go into places early. I understand. I'm just admiring your ability to just eat anywhere anything at any time. With a coffee. They're special? All these cats we have it's ridiculous. Yeah I was like I really appreciating you right now when he was like talking about them and traveling with them and he was like I've got a main coon who ripped open the cage like somebody else. Oh what did he? Yeah you. I didn't have that conversation with him. I did. We're best friends now. We're getting on the ferry after a billion headaches. It feels like a dream right now. Such an issue with Kubo but anyway we're on the ferry now. Hello and welcome to our cruise tour. Chris can you do a little show for us? We've got here the vanity. We've got here the lovely bed with the supreme quality duvet. That's our king emperor size bed. Emperor size bed and in here is a lovely toilet and a shower if you need to take one. After the stress of that I'm just going to walk around the ship for a little bit. Take some footage of us leaving hopefully. Unless they say Christopher's meant it's definitely Zed. Get off the boat. Don't do that. See even an arcade on board. I think Chris will be happy to see this. He's resting in the room right now though. Will you use my engine game? Pretty lit. I don't know what else is that great. What's this? Chris has decided that we are arriving so we're waiting by the tour to get the cuts. It has been the worst journey ever. If I look sick it's because I am highly vomited and it was the worst thing ever. I hate the ferry. I hate it and don't travel with ferry in a storm. Lesson learned no? Yeah I don't know if we hit the storm or not but halfway it was the worst world I've experienced before. It was awful. Anyway see you on the flip side in Brighton. So we have arrived in Brighton and I wanted to update you guys more but actually I injured my back last week.
