Victoria BC Canada resident who just loves his life! Proud to share to the world! Humble, authentic, genuine and full of Love,Joy and peace! I have been posting on Face book and now it is time to go You Tube! I decided to add that I turned 60 in April 2024. I am not ashamed of my age. I have nothing to hide!
Victoria BC to YVR with Christopher
I thought I should share the bus,boat,bus,train,
Ride to the airport. All that was only 25.00.
What a great province I live in. 6hours later I made it here. I will post the Cuba pics after the 12th of February.

I thought I deleted all of this, it is so mashed up from editing..versus messed up. It would be a shame to throw away all that work.....I went to charge my phone and it was still there!!!! So I am going to lay it all out here. It is what it is. I love you all and want the best for you, although I can only do so much. Thank you for taking the time to read this and watch the video of me being me.

I needed to get away from social media, went to the park and fed some squirrels and then off to the ocean beach. It got colder when the sun became weaker. Made a new friend and he likes to swim everyday! I start this video with weight loss topic.
Ducks,God sends them to me every time!!!!

I shelled peanuts for the peacocks and left the bag of peanuts in the shell at home by mistake, so It was a duck feeding day. I did feed some squirrels as the peacocks never walked up? I had a nice day at the park as always! That is what matters. I hope you enjoy this mellow park video, thanks for watching!

About the beard, It is 2 months old and I think it goes with the cold dark days of winter but when it comes to hot sunny weather I have rethink my image? I hopt you can get something out of this thought walk?

Back doing what I love to do on a cloudy not so cold January day in Victoria BC. I hope you enjoy my little adventure. It went from a nice warm morning to a coldness in the air in the afternoon. It has been a week since my New Years swim video so I thought I should post something. Thank you for watching!

Canon Camera version of the same swim. I put this one on my facebook, I will add it here before I delete it from my storage. I froze my toes and fingers making these videos so I can suffer, each time I view I will be reminded.

I did it, 6c air temp same as the water temp so it was great, the wind air dried until it froze my toes and fingers. The water felt so nice! The waves! So glad I did this, great way to start a new year!

I had to take in the extreme waves that were predicted and it was worth the long walk around on Christmas day! The sun peeked now and then but when I got home it got cloudy. There were so many people out wave watching today!

I so wanted to do this, I video recorded it 10 years ago for facebook. I was sure to find the play at the usual location near the Mormon church. In very small print I found the location on my phone while I was standing at the fenced off church. How things change? Please find some hope in this video if you click on it. I will understand if you don't, thanks for reading this!

You reminded me of my first flight. I was so scared to miss my plan that I arrived at Paris airport about 8 hours before departure and hung on those unfriendly plastic chairs till the departure for a long 20-hour flight to Melbourne. Looking forward to your next stories. Enjoy your vacation!
Hey! Firstly, that’s so damn cheap, wow, did you book each one separately or as a deal? Brain not braining - what is YVR? Lovely sunrise hues! Haha yeh your bus driver skills are fab, great you got the front seat! That’s so cheap for an hours bus, we pay that for local journeys 😮😮😮 oh thank goodness for Jason, easily done when you’ve had so little sleep and focus. Hope the flight went smoothly and have a good refreshing rest away from the cold! 🧡
Ah just watched as I didn't log in over the weekend. You can play which is so much more than most of us, c'mon you put so much out there before, you still got that internal block from one other's negative comment?
Nick G was his name lol, I check the comment when I was listening to my playlist yesterday and I saw his comment on my playlist but it is no longer on the Apologize video so he must have removed it? It did make me question my abilities?
Bravo! It is music to my ears. It was good you uploaded it. It is still worth keeping even if it is not perfect for your expectations. I hope your neighbors also enjoyed it.
Thank you so much! I am glad you got to hear more of the song. I am also grateful that youtube studio on my phone had it ready to put on youtube! I can go on my vacation now knowing I accomplished something. 🥰
@@Christopher-p7g Enjoy your vacation
@@WanderIshigaki Thank you so much, I got my QR code today!!!! I have my evisa!!!! and passport and just one more sleep here. I hope to have trip videos and mostly pictures to add in the videos when I get home on the 12th
@@Christopher-p7g as Mika said, it is gooood, definitely worth uploading, raw and real is the way forward! Wow holidays tomorrow, amazing, it'll all be so vibrant for you you there, hope you get many good photos and pics etc so we can enjoy your travels too :)
@ have fun out there Chris! You be back with many stories to share. Looking forward to hearing about it
I cut stuff out at the wrong places, put them back in wrong. Repeated a section.....I have to learn how to edit on the phone. I just wanted to sing it one shot? Editing is cheating. Now I know what I can and cannot do.
Dan Fogelburg all the way!
Man, that sounds GREAT! KEEP GOING!
Bless you! Thank you for the support! I had a good sleep last night and feel better about how yesterday turned out. It was a long day of practicing and I need a better microphone, and a real piano would do me wonders lol. And not having neighbours that hear ever little sound. I am leaving for Vancouver tomorrow as I head to Cuba on Tuesday for 2 weeks and that should revive my soul? Now I am off to do chores.....😀
Well it sounds music to my ears. I love music but I can't tell which note is which. I admire anybody who can play some music. Don't give up. Take it easy on you. You are doing great.
Bless you, Thank you so much! The piano is so loud in here and the phone hardly picks up anything? My neighbours had a day of free entertainment that is forsure lol.I was hoping they would vacumn or something so they would no hear my effort. I had a great sleep and feel better. I have so much to do here before I leave tomorrow for Vancouver. I have other videos of me singing if your curious of my potential.😀
I hear you about getting off social media, especially mainstream Western media at this point! If only we started our channels 10 years ago eh? Well, I don't know the song you're talking about but look forward to hearing it either way, don't get frustrated, just get even with your learning and practise ;) that's great you made a wild swimming friend - at this point, every bopping human in freezing water sends chills. Not long before your holiday.. I need one again, somebody hit and ran on my car while it was in the car park last night! People are struggling so much they can't even be afford any honesty these days... urgh! Keep smiling friend :)
Thank you! I am so sorry about your hit and run, that is horrible. We have that here and even worse. People getting killed on bikes and crosswalks and the driver running. This is what the world looks like when we say no to god? Social media is polluted with people purging their views etc lol. Everone wants to win lol. I had to build myself up to put this channel up and it tooks years. I only have so much to offer lol. I am really trying with this song. You would do better with it as it is a guitar song? I am killing it with the piano. It is getting closer to my trip day. It is also getting colder out these days, so the trip is perfect! You should try Cuba for a cheaper get away.
I thought it was you in the water, haha! What are you cooking with the flour?
Hello! I make pizza with one cup of flour. I used to make perogies on a regular basis a dozen for a meal with one cup of flour. I also make my own noodles as well. I spend alot of time making my own meals.
Wow! I thought I was baking a lot as an amateur until I found you. Do you roll the noodles by hand or with a pasta machine ?
@@WanderIshigaki I was thinking of getting a machine but, it does not matter what the noodles look like lol. All work is by hand here. I meant to say that the bag of flour weighs 22 lbs and that is how much weight I no longer carry around on my body now that I lost 22 lbs. That was something to think about.
@ wow, that’s a lot of weight off. You must feel light and nimble. That’s very impressive when we visualize it indeed 👏👏👏
@@WanderIshigaki Thank you so much! You are right about light and nimble!!! That is one good thing, but I just gave up on my music...see video posted now. It makes me want to take up binge eating. I can not sing or play the piano but I can lose weight lol!
Dan Fogelburg “Longer”… I love that song! Enjoying your video. The scenery is gorgeous.
I just came on youtube and saw the notification! I see you caught the song! I hope you enjoy all the other videos, The your song video I sent? please have mercy lol.
Very peaceful and serene BTW...you have a nice neck and Adam's apple 😁👍🙏
Why are you going to Cuba?
Cuba is the cheapest 2 week sun vacation and I had been there 2 times in 15 years. I had negative travel experiences so I want to try again with my new knowledge. I am not a travel person, but so many people I know do nothing but travel. Life is passing me by. I do not own a car so I must reward myself somehow, and I had a passport for 10 years and never went anywhere, so with this new passport I will go somewhere while travel is still affordable, you never know what tomorrow may be?😀
What do you do for a living?
I am retired from retail, my facebook has all the info. I share!😀
Bit late to the party 😅 but glad to see it’s a resounding keep the beard response! I don’t think you have anything to worry about, people change looks constantly. Sorry I haven’t responded back to the mobile data issue, I’ll check later 👍🏼 you’ll be fine 👏🏼
I had to get used to the new look that is so far from my old self. I decided that since Jesus had a beard that makes my decision solid! I messed up my phone by removing so much that I could not get anything done lol. I know what to do now so I have a stress free no roaming charges vacation! I will set it up just before I go on the plane and reset it when I get home. 😀
@ hahaha I know I’ve done that too - put all permissions off and then some apps don’t want to work when you need them quickly! I’m glad you’re keeping it, it adds character and stories besides add to your handsomeness 😉
They are going to miss you when you’ll be away in Cuba.
And I am going to miss them just as much!!!! I had a great day there as it all went well. 😀
I am glad you decided to stick with UA-cam. Sorry for the FB incident. When are you flying? You will be off for 3 weeks, right? Don't get sunburn
Thanks! I leave on January 28th and hope to make it to Cuba at the stated time of 5:30pm. I am there for only 2 weeks which is plenty of time. I get 14 nights of sleep there! Most people go just for 1 week so I am luckier! 😀I should be fine on the sun part, I will get some here before I go and I have high sunscreen to use there.
@ 2 weeks is plenty of time for crosswords for sure
Well done for deciding to grow! It would be a shame to take it off, but if you do perhaps keep the moustache and a soul patch as a reminder.
Thank you for the support! For 2 months it has been so easy to keep? Not having to shave everyday is too good to give up.😀
@@Christopher-p7g You are keeping it then Christopher! Next step then is to grow it out longer, think that 4" long or so is a great length and you have the hairy genes to do it!
@@Medomsley You are so right! I can pull off the hairy part for sure. It is a journey to see how this goes.
@ Will be watching Christopher! When the beard gets a bit more length have a straight edge cut across the bottom so it grows longer spade shape. Think you would like that style. And of course you could also do a handlebar with the moustache.
@@Medomsley You must be a beard master? I watched some youtube videos on beards, the straight edge razor scares me lol. I use an electic to shave as I cut myself even with disposables. I should make a video on that lol.🤣
To beard or not to beard, that is the question
I am watching beard videos right now, I see Aaron Doughty at 36 with his beard? It is growing on me lol.
If it stresses you, shave it then it is one less thing to worry about. You'll get it back pretty soon anyway. 😅
It only took 2 months to grow! It is the passport picture not matching is my main concern? They have that new technology with facial recognition and if that can still tell that it is me? I find it so much easier to have this beard than to do a clean shave every day.
@Christopher-p7g there you go. You have the clear answer 😊
@ I am watching beard videos right now lol.
@@Christopher-p7g looool
Keep it bro
100% with you on that! This is my first beard so It has "grown on me" lol!😀
I was saying before last comment that I love the squirrels but PEACOCKS 🎉ARE THE BOMB!! Please don’t listen to negative comments. You didn’t do anything wrong Loved all your videos and subscribed to your channel 🎉. My hips shoulders fingers hurt all the time for 15 years then bedridden but Suddenly healed when I started truly believing the Bible. Believing that HE truly loves me and wants me to be healed. Like I want my children healed and prosperous. Satan is a liar and wants to kill steal and destroy us but Jesus came to give us an Abundance life if we will let Him. Yippee 🎉. Peace
Choose Spirit, The world is becoming very egocentric and that is what Satan wants-Division, strife etc. Spirit is one with all! Love Joy and Peace is the way! 🥰 So happy you found the light, it is never too late!
Bedridden for close to 4 years and SUDDENLY HEALED. AWESOME GOD. PRAYING you have a great visit to Cuba. If u get a chance look up Oxilates. That is like glass to your joints. I know for sure Spinach, almonds and spices the highest. And I ate a lot of them too. Peace :D
Our God is healer!!!! Thanks for taking the time to watch this, I hope you saw todays peacock feeding? People that deny God do not fare well? We can not serve two masters, you know which one you serve by the way you feel! 🥰
I just checked out the Oxilates etc. I know I over do it in the processed flour. That would have to be something I really need to do less of. I heard gluten, wheat can cause so much damage to your digestive system, joints arthritis and inflammation. Flour is a cheap food that we eat when we are financially deprived? More fruits and vegetables for me!
The birds and squirrels were happy to see you back! The blue color of the peacock fascinates me. We have plenty of them on Ishigaki Island. So many of them that the city council wants to get rid of them. I agree with you on how easy things are now that you can buy a book or rent a movie so easily compared to a few years ago. This convenience certainly has some cultural trade-off, but that might be what is evolution of the humans.
Thank you for being the first to view! I love those peacocks so much, I hope they can find a zoo for them in Ishigaki or someplace as they are special. I had to remove the shells of the peanuts, or they would of had a better time with me if I did not take so long to feed them. I got my EVISA for Cuba today so next is the QR code. Travel documents are more tech which in the past that was not so complicated I think? There are good things and not so good in this day and age. Enjoy your day!😀
Haha Dude where's my car? 😅 That's a grand entrance of feathering friends, you'll make news if you gather such crowds, be careful 😉 love how close the peacock was! I miss the thrill oc going to the movie store but not seeing when what you want to watch is not in! Glad to see you were just riding the viral video wave rather than being sick. 🎉🎉
@@ezcbt Thank you! I had a fun day yesterday! Next time I will shell a large amount of peanuts just for the peacocks and leave the rest for the squirrels, although yesterday they took a back seat to all the birds. I will have to make it up to the squirrels next time. this video is not getting the views as the last one lol. 😀
Hi! Splendid! I swimm like you in december/january... naked...You say that you are 60 years old now... i can't believe you, you look like you are 45, maybe less...😊❤
Thank you so much! I did not get a notification for this email, I had to check this video, I got 2 dislikes for this video? I need encouragement lol! I believe it is the young spirit that does it? It helped me to get and keep employment in the ageism world we live in. It is sad whey our actural age gets you unemployed lol. I will check out your channel now! 🥰
@Christopher-p7g i'm 60 years too! We must take care of our body, of course, but in my head, i am 30, sometimes less! We have a lot of experiences and that is good. Keep your pretty smile ! 😁
@@christianescoffier6611 Welcome my new 60 year old friend! Your name is Christian like Christopher! 60 is the new 40 they say? But like you I feel very young inside. I dyed this beard, it is my first beard and it makes quite a statement. I am not ready for the gray yet. Thanks for watching and commenting!😀

Ooh plenty of good views here! Love it. Did this gain you 10 subs?? Good effort well deserved ;)
What have I done lol....I just checked the subs? this video has almost 1,000 views? Is this the content direction I need to steer to, in order to grow my channel? Oh I am going to cuba on the 28th so I should have more swimsuit videos. I will know if that helps my channel lol?🥰
@@Christopher-p7g ahhaha I'm guessing by the encouraging comments below... yes, they will help indeed! Oh how awesome, look forward to seeing colorful Cuba from your persp. Nice!
@@ezcbt 2025 is going to be a year like no other!!!😁
@ yes yes yes 🙌🏼 I’m watching you 😎🤣
I love the natural look of the beard too, I like either way, but you're very adorable with that face fur🤔
This beard is new for me, and the gray was looking messy and made me look older. I am dying it now and I am happy with the outcome. One of my videos I talk about the complexion issue I had while starting this. Now I am to affraid to shave it off cause I will have acne like I did when I was 17.🤣
@Christopher-p7g you'd look great with a big old man stash on its own
@Christopher-p7g yep I let Scruff on my face all the time because if I shave it curls back in and I get total acne face and it even makes my nose break out and I don't know why 20 when I shave completely and it gets really annoying when you're 53 and people treat you like you're 28 or something
@@Christopher-p7g I checked the temperature of the water you got in it is pretty chilly but I would totally do that then I'd have that Nature Boy feeling after I got out of the water
@@AlpharedKanisTholiman I used to live in a colder climate and said if I ever lived on the west Coast I would do the polar swim! I don't have any friends to do these things with. So I just go alone.
Get dressed? No no no no no no you're at your best not dressed😮
I stayed undressed as long as possible that day. It is really cold out there.😀
@Christopher-p7g for being so cold you're toolage held proud and steady! I enjoy your enthusiasm and I am really impressed with you thanks for sharing, I went to Costa Rica a couple of years ago and got to the hotel on the beach at midnight and ran to the water and for some reason stripped absolutely completely and totally and had no idea where my clothes went because it was dark and floated in the ocean for all the entire night until sunrise it was amazing there was a moon out and I'd never been that far down into another hemisphere I was trying to rebirth myself but then you know that's what you have to do when you get to the Sea the next day I asked around and hadn't realized that nudity on the beach there wasn't accepted really at all LOL
@Christopher-p7g yes and I thank you for it
@@AlpharedKanisTholiman I had this video with a different view so I thought I will just add it to youtube and see if anyone likes it. It makes my day to read your comments! Thanks so much and I am leaving the video up so you don't forget me lol.🥰
@@Christopher-p7g oh I won't forget you you caught my eye so there's something very important yet you have a great personality from what I can tell and however many compliments you get you deserve and certain I'll continue because I'll have to subscribe
Ah, personal request privileges... haha. Thank you! That's cool, lots to view, actually. Constantly building and improving or changing the view, I guess. Just watched your swim. I bet you were happily adrenalised for the rest of the day!
I should of said that behind the Church is where the Beacon Hill park with the ducks and Squirrels are. In that direction I walk to the other beaches. My swim beach yesterday was in the East which you could not see in my video from my balcony.
@@Christopher-p7g ah okay, you've got a lot of good places around you to enjoy!
@@ezcbt taking in the surrounding areas regularily helps stay happy!😀
Ah woohoo!! How the heck do you come up from the cold water and not let out a big whyyyoooeeeaaawwwwhh??! That looked so invigorating, well done you! We spotted a naked French NY dipper yesterday on our long beach walk, he looked so pink with cold from a distance. Brrrr!!! Awesome start to 2025
The worst part was the wind and that I stayed undressed too long. My toes and fingers went numb and I felt really unstable walking and then biking. Next time I will get dressed right away.😀
@@Christopher-p7g yes i think biking after that is a tall order. You need an oodie towel thingie ;)
@@ezcbt I agree, my towel was so thin and small.
Oh wow! You are starting 2025 so strong! Congratulations for making it! Don't catch a cold now. Happy New Year again!
Thank you, I froze my toes and fingers....next time I will get dressed immediately!😀
is the beach always covered in logs ?
Happy New Year Robin! Good question, as this is the worst deposit of logs ever? There is a lot of money to be beachcombed? My swim today at another beach was shocking to see nothing but logs? It will be interesting to see if and when they start removing them.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy New Year to you! I bet Shelby would have a new years swim with me lol.🥰
@ 💯💯💯🤗🤗🤗🤗
Happy New Year Chris! I wish you the best for 2025. The view from your window at night is amazing with all those city lights.
Thank you! Happy New Year to you, just getting organized and I took a daytime video just now.😀
Happy New Year Chris! I hear you on the staying up late difficulty these days lol that's a sweet view from your balcony! Is there much greenery far in the distance, we need a day video of all that ;) The last I celebrated New Year's out out was when I lived in London and it was an extortionate affair to get home, I'm sure the travel networks have improved all of that.. kids don't realise how easy things are these days! Lovely church bells - I saw a video that eating 12 grapes under a table as the bells chime 12 times brings in abundance for the year. I looked at the French red grapes here and thought : nah you're all too big! So I'll just remain hopeful instead x sending warm wishes for your health and happiness in 2025!
Warm wishes for your health and family and happiness as well! I just made a video per your request of a daytime view as it was the easiest video to make lol. Happy New Year to you!😀
Wow that’s a shipload full of logs! And that wild wind, powerful 😮 how long did you walk for? Hope your Xmas was as merry as you wanted 😊 Very indulgent this side, still full two days on 🥴 have taken an online break but luckily had one video scheduled for today 🥱
Thank you! I had a great Christmas! I am eating Turkey 2 times a day! I walked for 2.5 hours on Christmas day in that powerful wind and rain. I was wondering what the beach is like where you are? It is 8c here and going to rain for most of the day.
Oh wow! so much wood on the beach! Is it Mother Nature's gift for free heating wood for those with a chimney in their home? Merry Christmas
Merrry Christmas! There used to be beachcombers that got paid to remove the logs like these but now they just lay there and this beach area with all the logs today normally has none? I wonder if the city will remove this extremely large amount from this storm? We have logging in BC so the forestry may be missing some profit this year lol. I just watched this video and I am starting to feel the turkey, it is making me really tired and after all the long walking.
@@Christopher-p7g That's a lot of wood. I am amazed to see someone doing kitesurfing with so many logs floating around. It must be challenging to focus on so many variables.
@@WanderIshigaki another reason we need beach combers to gather the hazards out in the water? That wind surfer, a little questionable in judgement? He is getting alot of attention though, I guess that is what matters lol. I am removing copyright from my marked videos...that is making me tired right now.
That's a very nice garden!
I watched it again looking for plants that you were showing us but found nothing, especially the guetto tea leaves and no shisa lion dog figures. I am glad you watched this!
@Christopher-p7g the Guetto (ginger Shell) plant seems to be growing in tropical areas. I have never seen it on the Japanese mainland either. No house to protect, no Shisa
@@WanderIshigaki Thanks, now I know what the Shisa's purpose was. Ward off evil! I love it! I am just taking pictures of me for facebook. I am going to a Christmas party in an hour and trying to decide what to wear? Have a Merry Christmas! Later.🌲

A beautiful sight in the evening lights. It sounds like a peaceful and family-friendly atmosphere. Do you know which star is shining on the top left corner of the screen at 12:06?
I just enjoyed the clear sky, with all the lights of wonder! The bright star is normally Venus but I just googled to confirm and it says on December 21 the brightest star is called Regulus the brightest star in the constellation LEO? Thanks to Google we both can learn lol.😁
@@Christopher-p7g Thanks for taking the time to check it. Starting my week with a new star name. yey!
Wow, a ferris wheel light show, who needs fireworks! That's very bright and festive indeed! How much did they charge to go on? Lovely atmosphere ;)
FREE!!!! no charge! You and your daughter would of had a blast! I prefer to look at that over fireworks! I am glad you saw this as it was quite a sight. I get to walk around there each night!
@@Christopher-p7g FREE??! Triple WOW! What on Earth is free these days? Kudos to the organisers for recognising the cost of living crisis most face these days! That's amazing, did you go on? We would enjoy that indeed, from a very blustery France at the minute, not been out today, too wet and ghastly! :)
@@ezcbt The business communty supports this. You pay alot to live here so these freebees help balance it out. I did not go on, as I had been on rides before. I will leave it for the families.
@@Christopher-p7g that’s thoughtful of them to come together and give back to the community! Yes we pay a lot this side too just to survive. As for entertainment, I took my daughter to feed alpacas and goats and it was meant to include a hot chocolate but they didn’t have due to miscommunication, the weather was horrible and windy so we lasted a whole 20 minutes outside and the tickets were £15 (at 40% discount) now I know why they discount it in the winter! 😅
@@ezcbt No hot chocolate would of done me in lol. You should make videos of these, or you may already have. You are from France? I was wondering where you were going on the ferry. WanderIshigaki and his Japan tours are really a contrast hey lol. I just look at those beaches and forget the darkness here.
Merry Christmas to you too
The contrast between the swimmers and the paddlers passing by is funny... 8C water is colder than the water in my fridge. Wow!
Isn't that something? You lucked out with your situation. I came from Manitoba where temperatures go to -50c this time of year. This was the best I could do lol.
@@Christopher-p7g -50c !? Now 8C sounds like summer
Wow a brace for your hips? Ahh is it comfortable?! That wind was wild kind of like the rough seas we had on the ferry last night, my daughter got sick (as usual!) hold onto your phone weather lol strange what reminds us of our hard times. Glad the sun was warming for you. Secret: I absolutely hate wind but I love beach hair 😄thanks for the ocean tour 😅 you did it! Okay bye 👋🏼
When I was 27 I started tying a long scarf around my hips and waist, I had the pain back then too in winter. I lived in extreme cold climate so the scarf help with wind up my coat as well. Now I just decided to wrap the scarf around my waist again and it gives me just the support I need to bend and walk freely? I was 172 lbs earlier this year and now I am 158 so losing weight is also helping! I am glad you enjoyed the windy ocean, again it may be even windier on Sunday so I may go back!😀
It looks refreshing. I like this kind of weather, it cleans the air and the mind. Warm regards from Ishigaki Island
Thank you for watching this! I see you are in Japan area with a different climate. I checked your weather for today, you have warmer night weather on top of having nice days. I am content here with what comes my way! I do not have the desire to travel. I take it you now call Ishigaki Island your home? I'll post more weather updates like this video lol. Enjoy your sleep, I see it is before midnight as I type this.😀
@@Christopher-p7g Yes it is certainly warmer here but whenever it drops below the 20C it feels like I am in a freezer without socks as I am acclimated to tropical weather. I enjoy watching your videos and channel. I also subscribed to your channel to keep up. Thank you
Wow! Those were definitely not some amateur cold water swimmers, they barely had any shock to the system except for the lady who didn’t dunk her head fully, I think it’s quite the necessity to regulate the body. I bet you would’ve jumped straight in with them if you had what you needed. Wow, I got cold watching them but can also see the thrilling appeal for such craziness.. I do cold shower here and there but not everyday in winter! I’m sure you don’t have much excess on your joints? 😊
Thank you for watching this fun for me video! If I had my suit and towel I would of went in. The water and air were the same temperature so you would experience a warm sensation when you come out of the water! You blood etc really does wonders for you system. The cold water dips and swims are really popular here as it is a growing trend. I am as of late dealing with hip,joint pain? That could be why I did not even consider taking the towel etc. I am reading up on the spiritual meaning of hip joint pain. Having to do with the inablity to move forward in life? Also how it is connected to my mother and her mother etc? Maybe I should just shake it off and do the cold water plunge lol.😀
Loved the super large trolley, how did they do that?! Also, been meaning to ask you where do you put your phone while you record, do you have some sort of hands-free recorder that you wear, so curious? Thanks lol ;)
That looks like a tractor trailer with the tractor and a smaller additon behind with all the people, nobody got hurt so that is good. My phone is just the phone, I have a safe case nothing else. I can film with the case shut so people do not know I am filming. I just saw several new video suggestions from locals that also film around Victoria? I am the only one who puts himself out there. But they have way more views?
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❣️
That looks pretty windy, do people windsurf around there ?
It is really windy this evening! Sounds so loud even though it says 26km hour winds? I took this video 2 weeks ago as it wasn't as windy for windsurf/kite? ua-cam.com/video/ytynds9z91Q/v-deo.html😀
That was great ! My daughter and I enjoyed it all together, she laughed at Santa running alongside and said some of them were going too fast even, I agree we couldn't keep up but then our brains are in slow recovery mode. Getting back to normal very very slowly Day 5 feeling it in back and chest today.
By the way, three ads on this video - a bit crazy how YT does that on our long videos with views over 100 but some may think we put them there and get compensated.. pfft!
I think you need 10 days to deal with the Covid and Flu? For the videos I should suggest going to the settings of the video and change the speed to slower? Turn off sound?😀
@@ezcbt You tube asked me of my opinions in a questionaire last night? You should get that too? I said I want them to remove the dislike button. I only have 25 subscribers and I think there should be something for us if we have ads already? I also had a survey from google so they know everything about me? 🙄
Very nice walking video
Thank you so much! I am having fun and enjoying sharing!🥰
