It's Time to Leave the Lodge... For a While

The hosts are currently in a period of transition, marked by the decision to replace their high-mileage vehicle, a shift to new video editing software, and hosting family and friends at their apartment.

• Vehicle upgrade — The couple is searching for a replacement for their three-year-old Hyundai Tucson, test-driving a newer plug-in hybrid model at a dealership in Hull [00:41].

• Editing transition — Lee is migrating from Adobe Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve to avoid ongoing monthly subscription fees [13:46].

• Zen shot — Nick unsuccessfully attempted to create a healthy "super drink" by brewing coffee with green tea, which resulted in a standard coffee taste [05:58].

• Household management — The pair completed several chores:

  • Cleaning up spilled bacon grease from their garden that had attracted a swarm of ants [10:44].
  • Installing soundproofing foam in the apartment window gap to muffle noise for visiting guests [35:21].

• Social outings — The hosts balanced their work with various social commitments:

  • Taking their niece Masha out for lunch [24:57].
  • Hosting friends at their apartment for a pizza dinner [36:05].
  • Dining at an Indian-fusion restaurant in the town of Marsden [40:31].
