      Jealous of a back deck with a hot tub surrounded by lovely flowers? Hell yeah I am! Even the dude looks like he’s be good company.

        The look of contemptedness is meant to make you jealous so you want to buy the house and have what he has ! (this hapiness is unfortunately not tied to the hot tub, but now you can be in debt AND miserable in a hot tub)

          I think you mean contentedness. You’re confusing content (being happy) with contempt (strong dislike or lack of respect). The sound fairly similar in English. I think it’s safe to say I’ll never own property, let alone one with a deck and hot tub! But I’m happy enough with a glass of wine in the bath 🛁

              No problem! Your English is really really good - I checked your profile before I commented to check it wasn’t your native tongue!
