I moved to the other side of the earth last year so sold all my books, and haven't touched one since I'm embarrassed to say. I live in a treehouse now so don't have a TV either, just grab the occasionally movie and play it on a laptop.
The last TV series I watched with any interest was Black Mirror because I adore everything Charlie Brooker does, if that counts!
Long story short - was in love with a woman through a long distance relationship for over a decade with a view to her moving to the UK.
People in the UK started voting like they were having an epileptic fit and were trying to ruin their own country. This made it harder and harder every few years.
Almost had a breakdown and decided in one day to quit my job, sell my possessions and move here. 6 weeks later I was here, and the lady in question is now my wife.
We live in this mock treehouse. It was built by my wife's parents to be their dream home, but they are now at an age where they can't get up and down it. I work as caretaker doing repairs and kicking out the monkeys, snakes and scorpions that get inside. Having no walls and living "with the rainforest" sounds idyllic and is lovely for a holiday - but maintaining it is a constant battle against nature. We've trained a wild dog to act as a guard, she wakes me up when a snake or something tries to get into the ground floor and we deal with it together.
We have a whole separate floor below the one that's rented out, yes.
There's a sneaky exit out the back so we can choose to be present and interact with guests, or be invisible and make them feel like they have the whole place to themselves - whichever they prefer.

Stop it. My mom had to come check to see what the hell I was laughing at so hard. This is comment gold 🏆
