Welcome to this week's c0f33 vlog, my weekly extravaganza of gifs and images from my week at work and here on Steemit. For a quick recap I have done the video vlog you will find embedded towards the end of this post every week for a few years now, and it used to be about my working life and home life often covering technology and my slight obsession with Apple products.
Since I joined Steemit it has started to evolve from being a single video link in a post to this new format where it covers all the people and content I have enjoyed on here this week. It took me a long time on my Steemit journey to realise what matters most on here is the other users and their content - because by enjoying everyone else's content and telling them why in comments they will often come back and support your own work. I spend as much time as I can getting around incredible posts created from people around the world - there is never enough time in the day to get everywhere I would like to though - so much amazing content you all should give yourselves a pat on the back and relax with a nice cup of coffee! If you would like to translate this page for easier reading in your native language the raw text that will be easier to translate can be found at this link https://justpaste.it/1h8hb
The start of my vlog pretty sums up every day this week, frozen windscreen adding time to my journey to work while I wait for it to defrost. My friend @crazybgadventure made a post this week about Logan and Jake Paul the YouTube sensations who like or loathe them are making a considerable amount of money from their daily vlog adventures, brand tie ins and also Merchandising. Despite some unfortunate decisions, I really like Logans style - #beamaverick @crazybgadventure has started Steemit full time - great choice my friend and I am sure he'd love some visiting support. I'm a bit run thin myself getting around so many people, one comment I would say to him is something I see quite a great deal on Steemit - post quantity over quality. Your audience only has so much time to get around and view all the people they want to - making too many posts per day just dilutes the potential to get upvoted and commented on. Some of the most successful creators I have seen on here do one post a day, sometimes only every few days - it gives their audience chance to get around to see it - and you can concentrate far better on making that post something really special with more content and greater chance that people will enjoy and share it. That said it's bin collection day and my usual domestic problems arise - too much rubbish and not enough bin space. The bin lorry will not take a bin with bags hanging out the top - so yes that is me jumping up and down inside the wheelie bin to compress the rubbish enough to get another bag in! And I should of course again thank @avesa because his music accompanies that start up defrosting sequence of the vlog video.
My journey has finally started, a frosty slippery road which is much like my journey this week on Steemit. It's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster this week, but as they say you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. I continued my SublimeSunday with more time lapse footage - the actual idea of the tag was just to have an excuse to post your random crazy creative ideas and I was pleased to see @old-guy-photos joined in with A beautifully SublimeSunday wielding dual power tools - a man after my own heart! I was also very pleased that @thethreehugs joined in through my post comments, saying Aloha with some sublime videos clips of their own. What will I post tomorrow - I don't know yet but it surely will be sublime.
I would like at this point to say a big thank you to @askmee for making this
Caricature of c0ff33a in fact I was not the only one, he took this idea and ran with it having many done of many Steemit users. I honestly think this is one of the most creative and clever ideas I have seen in a while - be sure to check out his blog those pictures are so much fun!
My long time supporter and friend @maruharraca excelled again with this MarketFriday Flower Shop following on from her previous weeks post which was absolutely fascinating The Met Cloisteres Museum with fascinating pictures and detailed information on the various exhibits - an education in a single post!
New to me, I was totally impressed by this Lessons I learned in my first month on Steemit by @ameliabartlett which has some incredible good advice for every account level on Steemit - if you want to improve your rewards you really need to read this. It also really shows how you can up your post rewards by putting plenty of time and effort into creating a really good post - I think I am correct in saying that this is one of her most highly rewarded posts to date - great work.
It has been a busy week for me as well being introduced to new content creators alongside the expert guidance of @saffisara with a lovely beach view and generally happy fun outlook on life and also @tattoodjay an expert in photography . I have been really impressed with the incredible writing from @carmalain7 including this post I was never a writer and then @snowpea did this post on GinaBot which was exactly something I was thinking of doing. I have also been entertained by the DJ @sweetscience who posted some incredible photos and music in this Fire Jam post, music and entertainment are very entwined here on Steemit equally demonstrated by @cygon in his post adventures in Denver a tale rich in photographs and text I still can not get over the bear statue. And telling tales with pictures can be done in very clever ways, like I found in Wise advices from a tree by @felobtc
The Freewrite community is also incredibly popular, I first encountered it through @mr-neil with his amazing writing like this post Planet of the health shops and that then lead me on to @mariannewest with Daily Freewrite Challenges so I suppose it should be no surprise when I was introduced to @snook who also partakes in this amazing writing community and I found this post Doorway to my soul which is not only an outstanding poem, but uses a photograph from @mikesthoughts another good friend of mine on Steemit - how amazing the twists and turns on here can be. It also reminds me that in this post Giving back to minnows he is offering to give away some of his hard earned SBD from a post he got very highly rewarded for - very commendable and he is just the most amazing and genuine guy I can really tell why everyone likes him so much.
While I bumble my way around this little Island I call home, it seems Steemit has a growing member base on here with me. Having been introduced to @anjkara making amazing posts like this Life advice from an imperfect human and @silverstackeruk part of Steem Silver Gold joining a growing group of UK based posters like @welshstacker who gave me a chuckle with this I'm having trouble identifying this object and then @techmojo with his Gaming Posts and game title predictions forming a double act with his better half @deeviras with great ideas for games to enjoy and then the amazing @fiftysixnorth with his travelling tales and Long Exposure photography. Also @stef1 and amazing photography like this Dailypic Ameland perl of the sea I'm sure there are many more, these are just a sample of the people I have come across.
I took a trip out this week and created a Market Friday post - and posted it on a Wednesday to confuse everyone! Sorry about that, with the trip fresh in my mind it was the best day to post it for me! Market Friday is hosted by the great @dswigle who has been a little unwell this week so be sure to send her some love. It's a great way to come up with a post and share a unique aspect of a market it your part of the world, or where you are currently travelling in right now. I love reading through the posts in the MarketFriday tag - it's so fascinating to see life in different cultures and often a find even more new and exciting content creators to follow.
Talking about followers, I hit 3k this week! Quite amazing really that this badger bearded old fool with a penchant for bad jokes and gifs from movies people have long forgotten could attract such a crowd. That said I follow 2400 - when I hit that feed button it's like thousands of voices all shouting out to me at once. I realise now although a bit too late that following so many is unwise, I'm in a bit too deep now though so I have to use different methods to keep track of all my favourite content creators - my post comments help a great deal as well! Every week on Steemit for me is like a new adventure, and I have become quite committed to this platform, all my earnings are reinvested in here either into promoting my new posts - or in this last week I have spent over 100 Steem renewing 3 leases of 1000 Steem Power delegation for another 4 week period. Logically it would be better to invest that steem into Steem Power - a retained bank where I could withdraw it if wished. Why I instead spend to never see again is to keep my upvote at a very reasonable level, I currently hold 11,325 SP thanks to the leased steem power I am paying for and also the incredible delegation discussed in this Stewards of Gondor post by @abh12345 . I have never really posted anything about what happened to me back in November, when one day I went on steemd.com and suddenly found my modest 100 Steem Power had a new delegation of 5000 SP making my upvote suddenly worth something, it came with no instructions and it took some digging to find out where it had come from - @fulltimegeek an inspired Whale who has distributed his Steem Power to many as you will see in the post above - so that they can go out and support new content creators with greater upvote - encouraging them with better rewards and of course inspiring comments. Steemit needs to retain content creators - but at the start many find it is very hard to get noticed or get rewards for your work - maybe some amazing content creators have already come, got little for a few posts and just given up and left - who knows but this incentive was put out to accounts that would reach out and support as many as they could. I don't really know how I came up on his radar, I wasn't doing anything particularly special back then (and yes I know right now little has changed in that respect, I do my best given my lack of creativity or any skills in photography, writing, social development or even an interesting personality) but I can only presume what I have done since pleases him because so far he hasn't chosen to pull back his delegation to pass to someone more worthy. I do try my best though, to reach out to as many content creators as I can, especially small accounts I do my best to help them grow.
Another notable mention this week has to go to @huslein.slash creating incredible art with every possible medium, this piece of work using ink of Wolverine it seems like he can create amazing art using any medium, this week he stretched the boundaries even further by painting with coffee and watercolours - amazing. Also thank you so much for the Mr Bean picture in my comments last week, it was perfect - I'd love for him to pop up again this week!
I've continued to enjoy this week some wonderful posts by @baby07 who continues to delight with amazing pictures from her life, this Introduction Post provides a wonderful insight into her life. I have been following her posts on Steemit for some time now, and she is a wonderful example of how paying attention to what others are doing, and developing your own work accordingly can really pay off.
It's no secret I am a big fan of @deadgrlsuppastar photography, but this Story of my Love was incredibly moving, sometimes you never realise the adversity and challenges people have had to face - or in some cases still are. It also reminded me that @topkpop had challenged her adopted minnows to do a post outside of their comfort zone, this one by @d-vine My Special Asignment really just emphasised further the incredible adversity some can go through in life, but it is also quite inspirational that despite everything Spirit and Tenacity remain - to keep going and never give up. When you read posts like that it makes your own troubles seem very small and insignificant. Another inspirational post comes from @thebugiq another adopted minnow For the Life of Me covers a different sort of journey and struggle - but no less inspiring.
And as my vlog journey reaches it's end, inspiration remains a strong topic because I discovered something on Steemit this week I don't know how I missed. For a long time now I have realised you find some users on here who are using the post rewards income as a means to live, and it's amazing a cryptocurrency blockchain can provide that for people. But somehow I had entirely missed the selfless charity work that is going on through Steemit, where charitable accounts like @youarehope build up funds through posts and donations and then distribute them when needed to people who can make a difference. What real made me see the difference that can be made was this post Taking a step to changing lives where @aydayodeji returning to the area he grew up found terrible blocked drainage with the resulting standing stagnant water causes many Malaria deaths. He would set about the manual labour himself with help from others he found to support the community - all he would need was a little funds through upvotes and resteems to kick his project off. You can read the response from @youarehope , fast decisive action to send the funds needed to get this project moving. In this post you can see an update on the work that is being done incredible work backed by steemit charity - and of course we can all give a little support ourselves upvoting his posts and resteeming so more people can see the great work being done for this community. Off the back of this I was amazed to discover this First ever Steemit Female football team not only because it demonstrates how a group of Steemit members can get together to promote not only the whole blockchain based site but also support their community and bring them together with with this amazing sports event. But the other amazing thing about this post was the amount of account names I recognised, and never realised what they were doing in the background to support these community events - it's all very commendable and you can tell how much impact these Steemit account members have had - they put their names on the football shirts! And to top it all off, @fishyculture who I have been following for a little while is even supporting charity with Thankful Thursday weekly posts where she donates the post rewards to @youarehope - I must have had my head in the sand to miss all this going on right under my nose!
Closing points for this weeks vlog, my youngest boy finished Fire Watch game last Sunday, and my eldest boy got a Selfie with Prince Charles on Friday! I also took @christheaudioguy advice and invested in some LiteCoin ahead of the imminent fork. He also unleashed this My Lady song on Steemit which is quite amazing and well worth a listen.
You can watch the full vlog video below

I know it has been a long post this week, but that really is just what has been going on in the last 7 days - in fact it doesn't cover all my interaction on Steemit by far - but I can't mention everyone or Gina Bot might crash! For this week's vlog all that remains to be said is have a wonderful weekend and week, stay safe and most importantly remember

Any huw..... You are amazing my friend and your doing amazing and knowing you is amazing.
So it's safe to say it's a lot of Amazing!
Thank you so much, such high praise from the established Queen of Steemit 👸🏼I did put my entire Saturday into creating this post, and now I really do appreciate how much time @enginewitty puts into the @thealliance posts. This was truly my week on Steemit, and all the people I interacted with, it's still amazes me how much cross interaction goes on with people I recognise popping up on other people's comments and I never can work out how they all came together. It really is a whole lot of Amazing, and if the 🦄💨 says it then it must be true!
Your more than welcome my dear friend 😊
And thank You for your words that just makes me all blush.... Queen of steemit 👅 never seen myself like that... Lol but thank you!
You made alot of great work in this post and a pleasure reading it and your way of writing is never boring it brings smile to my face 😆
Yes I dunno how @enginewitty does what he does putting those Awsome @thealliance and @syndicates posts together.
Lots of work and time behind it. Best Boss!

Fantastic - you should use that banner in every comment your make!
I knew you would say that 😂😂lol
But ya I dunno about that... Lol
I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday my friend. Big hug 🤗
Forgive me for the late reponse to the blog thank you first of all for the shout out very much appreciated. Still on the fence over the Paul Brothers i'm afraid to say.
However I am watching randomly to see what happens with KSI. Overwhelmed at all the new people that you have met recently you certainly have been very busy on the platform. Not to pick up on this post but wanted to let you know the post you resteemed yesterday from @thealliance about Steemstar Network. I went and checked it out and ended up listening to a show by @lenadr called Cabinet of Curiosities. Which is all about the strange and the weird and wonderful which is right up my street. Loved listening in and will be doing every week from now on. Thank you for sharing that brother it goes to show how powerful resteems are.
Thanks for dropping by, I am super busy and don't get chance to hit on everyone's content - I try but sleep keeps trying to rule my life! You know for a long time I did not resteem at all, or very occasionally - I think I read somewhere you should to resteem too much our your own posts get lost. But I have started doing it quite regular now, where I find something I really like or that I think is important and needs the word spreading. I do find it harder now to locate my own posts to go back and reply to comments - but if I can help others and bring a few people together then it is worth that.
Her show kicks ass. From aliens to fairies and any kind of conspiracy type wonder you can think of. Fantasy beheld with @lenadr. Great show.
A wonderful vlog my freind
Worked great topic
Thank you very much, I appreciate your always dropping in and leaving a comment.
Your dedication to helping others is aspiring. You are one of the people, which are few, that I wish I could be more like when it comes to Steemit.
Thank you for saying something about my poem as that came from my soul and I'm very proud of it so that also means a lot to me that you went out of your way and posted in your Vlog.
and now I see why it took you as long as it did to write :D I bow before you and your skills in even remember ing that many people's names and posts!!!
You,Sir, are one very special person that I am very happy I am getting to know!!
It's my week on Steemit shared for anyone that cares to look and follow the people I enjoyed sharing time and content with, it still amazes me that a post on here can be anything you wish to make it - serious, funny, a massive essay or a few words and a picture. I could have covered so many more people, like @captainklaus who has taken photography to the next level he might only post a picture but it is an incredible one. And @victorbz another photographer doing amazing things with portrait photography. My time on Steemit leads me to find so many wonderful creative and special people, just like you @snook, if just one person finds and connects with another from this post it was worth all the time and effort I could ever give.
Thanks @c0ff33a, being mentioned = feeling honoured!
I have nearly finished Maize the game now, it is very funny with the talking sweetcorn and Russian teddy bear!
You kids and your crazy games, wish I had time to play Star Wars Battlefront 2
God damnit!! What a good post @c0ff33a. Now I can see when you said it took too much time to write this post today - and I imagine there were so many stuff out of this one.
Congrats for your 3K followers.
Thank you for mentioning me in this post, I also invite everyone to read all the post our friend put in here.
There's something I'm totally agree with you: it doesn't matter the quantity of posts you publish, it's QUALITY (sorry for capital letters but the word deserves it) because with only one well done post you can get much more audience.
Perfect post for this week @c0ff33a =D
Thank you for the kind reply, in many ways I am still learning this platform as well but more then anything I believe the true wealth in growth is sharing what you know and more importantly who you know with others. Some I am sure will still be able to do well creating many posts a day, but if you concentrate on a post and put as much work as effort as you can into it - then it can truly reward far greater then many posts made throughout a day. I mentioned in this post @mikesthoughts, when I first encountered him I really thought that he had something special to share and would go far. I did what little I could to support him as a new creator on Steemit, but he went far beyond that finding his own way and getting incredibly high up recognition from a Whale on Steemit which is why I mentioned his post about giving back to fellow minnows. The potential is here for anyone to do well if you keep working hard and accept at times it will seem like an uphill struggle that is impossible - some grow quickly for others like myself it too a long time to work out what to do.
Just trying to do my part for the community. Like you helped me :) And, your support is by no means little. Gives me the confidence to push forward even harder. We're doing what the real world should be doing on a regular basis...believing in and helping each other.
Crazy-awesome how someone saw that drive to help others in you and gave you the tools to actually work. Never knew that happened to you. But, honestly not a surprise to hear something like that after the last couple months of being here :) It's a very, very, very, refreshing feeling.
And, for believing in me, THANKS! :) So many possibilities here. Such an exciting world.
Also, your posts rock. You're good at putting stuff together :P I always like going through them.
Thanks, you are more then welcome and you are exactly right - the world would be a far better place if people spent more time believing in and supporting each other. Thanks for dropping by my friend.
Anytime! :)
I am absolutely amazed at how much your write, and how few typos there are, especially with the time of day you tend to write them.
We've had some overlap on some of our content diving, but I'm always excited to discover new posts I missed through your cataloging of your journey here on steem, c0ff33a, and just want to make sure you know how much I appreciate your efforts in this.
Because of the emphasis on the sense of immediacy prioritized by the platform, so many amazing posts that should have staying power far beyond their 7-day life cycle are buried by the new. I can't help but think about the parallels between this and the role of technology as a whole in today's society, but a conversation for another time!
Quick head's up, my good sir, it seems like your steemit world map link at the bottom didn't quite render - other than that, always love the feeling of catching up. And you were absolutely right, not only are you a friend, but these posts certainly feel even more personal and friendly than most content I come across here on Steemit. Something I definitely need to take note of and learn from!
All the best, coffee maven across the pond - you the man!!
Thank you very much @carmalain7 , sometimes I am fortunate to find on here people who mesh with my decidedly alternative outlook on life. You are of course quite correct, when we press the post button and unleash our post on this platform it immediately get's lost in the deluge of new content. How to get around this is part of the major challenge Steemit faces - maybe in time it will be resolved as the platform is still in Beta. But there is much you can do yourself to keep your post in the eyes of those that you would have see it - replying to comments to remind them of your own work, leaving your post link in discord channels, using the varied resteem and upvote services.
glad to see you friend i was looking for your works collection of week, thanks for the translation link, it's a great idea
Thank you very much for your continued support and kind words.
Congratulations on reaching 3000 @c0ff33a! Your son met Prince Charles too!! What a week!! Thanks for the shout out! :)
Thank you very much, it certainly has been a crazy week. But amazing too, so much content I enjoyed from people I have followed for a long time - and also wonderful new content creators I have discovered. Thank you for calling in on my post - I really appreciate it.
Fun journey you're having on here :) great post! BTW I'm still available for adoption! The papers never got signed and I was sent back to juvie :( lol
It's never dull I'll tell you that! Thanks for calling in, I really appreciate it :-)
Hey friend well done on the content, alot of support to others is a positive position you hold well, that so great. I like your using others music too. I give you permission to use mine to if you wish. I love that snow, because I'm from a hot dry place with not much winter to our winters here. Anyway good to check in and say hi. Thanks for all your hard work and good vibes bro. Stay awesome brother
be well
@c0ff33a
Thank you very much for dropping in, I appreciate you taking the time to view my post and leave a comment. I would love to use some of your music to go with my driving footage - let me know where I can get it from in Discord.
It was a busy week for you. For a long time I have not read such long articles. I liked the way you sum up, mentioning all the interesting things that you visited this week. I think that soon I will appear on this list too :) Good luck to you.
Thank you very much, I have done the video vlog on YouTube for a few years. Bringing it to Steemit, I started to realise just leaving a video link on a post doesn't really cut it on this blogging platform. So I started with stills of the vlog and telling the story I discussed. That progressed to the animated gifs from the video and the story just got longer as it became more about where I have been and who I interacted with on Steemit. It is fun to share all the exciting people I have found to follow, and maybe they will get a few more followers from it as well. Hopefully you will be in next weeks vlog!
thanks for the great post... these information are really neeeded by me... thanks👍
Thank you for taking a look at my post and leaving a comment.
I feel like I was on a roller coaster ride with you in your car through this post. Keep up the good work, friend!
Much love,
LeeJ
Thank you very much for calling by, that was just a steady drive that can get much more interesting!
Admitting mistakes is huge step to moving forward. Acceptance my man. If anyone crashes Gina, it will be you! LOL
Thanks, I appreciate you calling it means a lot :-)
What a great post it was it get interesting more and more as i read it some great experiences you learn along life :)
Thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment :-)
What a WEEK! You have been up to quite a lot and you've come across some fantastic posts. I'm humbled you included mine in the mix! I have plenty more reading thanks to this compendium. 😁
Thank you, it has been quite a journey this week. I was really impressed with your post, full of useful tips to help people. People obviously agreed as well, it's showing some good rewards. Keep up the good work, I will be looking forward to more great posts from you.
Congratulations on reaching the milestone of 3000 followers!! That so many people find your posts useful enough to follow you is testament that you are a Shining Star on Steemit, as many would agree.
This post must have taken real time and effort to put together - thank you on behalf of the Steemit community for putting such inclusive content on the blockchain!!
You have indeed curated well with so many articles linked in your post. You have indeed saved me a lot of time because I don't have to go looking for good posts today. I have enough links opened up in tabs from your post that I will now start going through.
The happiness on your son's face says it all after the selfie with Prince Charles. I hope he does save such golden moments - saying that because I lost a ton of photographs after a hard disk crashed although that's a thing of the past, and now I save everything in multiple places.
Thanks once again for this monster post so full of camaraderie.
Thank you very much, I still have no idea why so many people want to follow me - obviously quite a few coffee addicts on Steemit! Very nearly 12 hours all in to put this post together, aside from a food shopping trip and some cooking. I really did visit all those posts during the week (and more) - but of course it's easy to see in the comments of each post I was there! Data crashes are very frustrating, it's annoying saving pictures and videos in multiple locations taking up twice the space - but the only safe way to store them. Thanks for calling in and leaving such a wonderful comment.
It's a good post with many good points especially in taking about life...My life too is a bit rough this week...but with steemit I was able to srvive...thanks for all the support sir
Thank you so much @baby07 , I really appreciate you calling in on my post. I'm sorry you are struggling this week, but together on Steemit we can help each other overcome any problems we find :-)
Oh look you have some blue skies! totally loving your vlogs / gifs...
Yes, it was sunny - but freezing cold! Thanks for calling in - I hope you are all keeping well :-)
Hey my friend @c0ff33a I've been sitting tight for your week after week vlog. What's more, now I can see the intriguing post of this current week. I like it so much you are so kind for everybody, and i want to thank you a lot for you support
Thank you very much for always taking the time to look at my posts and leave a comment, it is very much appreciated.
hmmm..... i've gotten stuff out of dash cam for a long time. need to try to do something with it.
Oh I see you travel alot virtually I mean 😄
I didn't like that at all !
too much modesty becomes boring sometimes 😏

Lovely post like always, I am reading your posts since a month great work
upvoted!!
Thank you very much, I appreciate you taking the time to view my posts and comment on them.
Thanks for the mention @c0ff33a, great work on this blog. I totally get what you are saying about the amount of great content creators on here. Its hard to keep up with all of them sometimes, it almost a full time job!
Thank you for checking in on my post, very much appreciated. It is a full time job, in fact quite a few people seem to be turning it into just that. As a hobby this is eating into an extraordinary amount of my free time, it damn good fun though!
oh totally, i didnt have much free time to begin with, now I have none! But you are right, its fun. It certainly feels like a better place to be than somewhere like facebook right now :)

I agree. It's easy to find yourself lost in this massive steemit ocean. Commenting is so important.
Hahaha bin problems :P
Your blog is really generous, giving a bigger platform to others who don't yet have the following. Kudos!
Cheers
Anj :)
PS Thanks for the shoutout.
Thanks for calling in Anj, it took me ages to work out the commenting side of this - that's why I keep going on about it like a broken record! But it makes a huge difference to the Steemit experience - and once you realise looking at other people's posts is time you need to spend just as much as creating your own - it becomes much more rewarding you start enjoying more content from others, and as they see your comments they come back to look at your posts. I don't really know if it makes a massive difference that I share the accounts I enjoy on my blog, but I like doing it and if they get just one new follower it has to be worth it.
Hiya Coff
Commenting and reading: I agree. It makes all the difference. It's difficult to stay on top of it though. I'm thinking of changing my Steemit practice to make sure I've got enough time to do everything.
@Prydefoltz said something that helped me stop to think about my priorities. Up until now, I've been spending a large % of time talking and faffing about in Discord, neglecting my commenting/reading time. I'm gonna take a leaf out of her book and enjoy the comments, writing, reading first. If there's time later, then I get to play in Discord.
cheers

A selfie with the Prince?! Fun! I hope he found that at least half as amusing as I do lol!
I believe from my son the conversation went "Excuse me Prince Charles, can I have a photo taken with you" and the response was "Oh, a selfie, what fun - of course" The security team had a field day checking all his clothing, the bag he was carrying with various bits and his inhaler. The funniest was his support assistant though, Moussa is an African living in the UK who is by far the most thoroughly nicest man you could ever meet, he is also a great big tower of a man with a handshake that makes my hand numb - but quite timid. He said when they called into my work "We were just watching them walk around, then Jordan just strode off to Prince Charles with no fear and asked for a picture - I had no time to do anything or stop him!" They really are the strangest pair you will ever see together but they get all around on the day trips out they have. Jordan was also very unimpressed that they got his Surname wrong, it's Wilton my partners family Surname - not Wilson as stated in the video. Thanks for calling in, I appreciate it very much.
You know it is remarkable, you could no sooner "stroll up" to a US President than flap your arms and fly to the moon.
I don't think anyone else in the UK would just stride over to the Prince of Wales and ask for a photo, he's quite unique my eldest boy. Put's me through hell most of the time, but I have to admire his tenacity for life!
Firstly congratulations on your hit 3k followers this week, you so deserve this @c0ff33a, the content in your post is absolutely amazing, your weekly coffee posts are great, your weekly vlogs are fun, plus your tutorials and all the info you put out there!
Secondary thank you so much for the mention, I am doing my best, bring good content into my blog.
Thank you so much for what you do for this community, keep up s Steeming on!!
Thank you, you are way too kind. From the start on Steemit you have always been there supporting me with comments and your upvote - it's the least I can do. And that post on The Met Cloisters Museum was stunning, really enjoyed it so much. Have a great day, and thank you for always calling in on me.
Have a great day too! .... thanks again! :)
AWW DOOD. This was so awesome! Felt like I was drivin all around with you just reading this with the gifs! WHAT A STEEMY ride ;)
Then to see you used my music, my heart exploded. Thanks man, so glad you've been enjoying it! Please use any you please! @c0ff33a has an EXCLUSIVE pass to use any @avesa affiliated music :) BOOM just like that, on the blockchain... OFFICIAL. You're awesome man.
It's not just my videos that are getting the @avesa treatment, I was driving around with my Son from above the bobble hat wearing Prince Charles botherer. Car stereo cranked up he asked what's this music, I don't recognise it..."The chilled out grooves from @avesa" I said, and he said he liked it!
Ayee haha, noice! Start em young. I wasn't allowed to listen to so many classics for so long because they were "non-christian"; I wasn't allowed to listen to "secular music". Thankfully I was a rebel and branched out pretty young, but your son is lucky to have you as a dad to show him so much good stuff!! I hope he knows how cool you are

Phew. I finally got to the end. Such a rich and mammoth post this week buddy. I know how you find the time to do it now though lol, though I was glad to hear you've been getting some more kip for a change. I too have to leap only wheelie bins to squeeze in that extra rubbish though it tends to be my recycle bins I do it with. You really are cramming a lot into these posts and the rewards are really showing, you're really impressing me how quickly you've gotten to grips with this platform, I need more free time in my life, I tend to watch more videos than read posts purely because after getting up and down for the wifes needs I find it easier to pick up where I left of with video than the written word. Again great work buddy so heres the golden coffee bean award 😀!
