Hello everyone. And welcome back to English with Lucy. Today I have a very special guest.

This is my fiance, William. Hello everyone.

Will has never been on this channel before. No.

So it's an honour. It's been long overdue.

It has. So I've seen that many of you have requested a video on daily routines. So I

thought it would be a good idea for us to have a conversation and tell you about our

daily routines. And then I'll pick out some vocabulary to show you. So this is a fantastic

listening lesson, pronunciation lesson, because you can see how we pronounce specific words.

Don't forget to switch on subtitles if you need them. And to make this even better, I've

created a PDF sheet for you, which contains all of the key vocabulary. All you have to

do to download that is click on the link in the description box and sign up to my mailing

list. It will be sent directly to your inbox. Also, don't forget to share your own daily

routine in the comment section down below. I'd love to know what time you wake up, what

you eat for breakfast, what you have for lunch, what you have for dinner, and also what time

you go to bed. So first I think we should introduce ourselves because although we are

getting married, we live quite different lives, don't we?

Couldn't be more different really. Yeah. So we live in the same house, but we

have very different jobs. I am an English teacher, but I work on YouTube.

And I am a farmer and I work mainly outdoors on the farm.

Yes. So quite the unique pair I think. My first question for you is what time do you

usually wake up? Usually I would wake up at 5:30 to 6:00.

Yes, but what time do you get up? But I get up at 6:00.

Yeah. So there's an important difference between wake up and get up. When your eyes open in

the morning, you wake up. But when you leave your bed in the morning, you get up and Will

has a big problem. This gap between waking up and getting up is getting bigger and bigger.

Isn't it? I've gone from setting one alarm to three

alarms. Three alarms, and I have to lay next to him

hearing each alarm. So I have a very different job. I, well, I wake up at 5:30, at 5:45 at

6:00 with Will. But I keep on sleeping and I get up at 7:30. But something very important

happens between that time frame I think. I feed the pets and I bring up a couple of

coffees. Yes. So very important. In the morning when

Will gets up before he goes to work, he brings me a coffee in bed and we try to have a coffee

together. It's a nice routine to have, I think. Yeah. It's a good start to the day.

Yeah. But it's interesting because Will's job isn't the same all year round. In summer

you're really, really busy. I mean, what time do you wake up in the summer?

4:30 normally. Really, really early. So in the UK, we have

very long days in the summer and very short days in the winter. If you're from Norway,

Sweden, or anywhere more up North, you'll think, "What are you complaining about?" But

I remember when I was teaching English in Spain, people were surprised that the sun

would rise at 4:30 in the morning in summer and then set at 10:00 at night. But then in

the winter, the sun doesn't come up till 9:00 and then it can set at 3:30. So it's a big

difference. So your days in summer are so much longer.

Yeah. So let's move on to having breakfast. I normally

have breakfast at around 8:00. When do you have yours?

Either 7:30, before I go out to work again or at 10:00.

Oh yes. Because you go out and come back in for a break.

Yeas. Yeah. And what do you usually have?

Normally I would eat a bowl of cereal or I'd have a plate of toast.

Toast. Yes. Or on a special occasion, bacon sandwiches.

Very special. Bacon sandwiches on special occasions, or

what about a full English breakfast? Only on weekends.

Yes. So this is a really famous breakfast in the UK. The full English where you have

Black pudding. What's black pudding? I don't think some of my students will like it.

You don't need to know then. It's sausage made out of blood. Black pudding,

It's like fried potato. Baked beans. French toast.

Yeah. Toast fried in oil. And we often have a cooked tomato and cooked mushrooms as well.

So it's a huge breakfast, very high fat. And we normally have it if we have drunk alcohol

So it's something you'd have if you are hung over. You can have a hangover or you can be

hung over. This is important. They need to know it. Because I think they see the English

breakfast sometimes and think that, that's what we eat every morning. And that's not

You have to be really hungry for an English breakfast.

We don't. No. We don't eat every morning. I would say

maybe five times a year. Yeah. Not a lot.

Five times a year. If we go to a hotel full English. Sometimes we compress it down to

a flinglish. Can I have a flinglish. So for my breakfast, I nearly always have it at around

8:00 and I normally have porridge. So that's oats and milk cooked with some fruit like

banana, nectarines, or plums at the moment. And in summer I use blueberries and bananas.

Delicious. So the next thing that I do after breakfast

is I do some exercise. In American English, it's more common to say I work out. And we

do say this, but it's not as commonly used in British English. I do a workout. Yes. But

I work out. I mean, would you think it's more American?

Yes, definitely. Yeah. So I either go to the gym and do an

exercise class or I stay on the farm and I go for a run. I go for a run. If you do exercise,

what do you do? I do a lot of walking all day. So 80% of my

day will be walking. And we have a Fitbit that tracks every step we take, every move

we make. And that tracks our steps every day. Yeah. And we have a competition. So you can

see all the steps that our friends and family have done. And if Will remembers to wear his

Fitbit, he always wins. It's so annoying. I run 10 kilometres and I still don't beat

Will because you just spend all day walking. So all day, nearly every day I will be lifting

bags, shovelling grain, just a lot of physical work really.

Yeah. So you said shovelling. Yes. Shovelling.

So that's to use a shovel or a spade. It's the verb of using that. I think that was a

good one. And grain. Grain is basically seeds like wheat, barley, oats, and a thing like

that. That's what Will grows on his farm. So Will also does some work in a little gym

that we have set up. We have put in place downstairs and I see you do lots of-

Squats. I do some squats at the gym sometimes.

Yes. Bench press. Those are the three that I really see you

Yeah. Anything else? What else? Press ups.

Press ups. When you're down going like that. And some chin ups.

Oh yes. When you pull your body up like that. Yeah.

I hope you enjoyed my demonstration of that. I won't be starting a fitness channel. One

thing that takes a lot of time for me is doing my makeup and doing my hair. It's a long process.

I'm exactly the same. Exactly the same. Why else do you think I get up at 4:30 in the
