Tavistock Goose Fair 2026: A Clearly Bright Night Before

2026-10-14T10:39:01.342+01:00

Okay, so this is it again;n we are back to GoosFairir in 2026. It's been quite a hectic few weeks, and the work has just been absolutely manic,c but this time of year comes around.

AI with ruined data centres and economies is on the crashing-out part, yet we're still here for Goose Fair as it normally come enjoy the start of it as we do the back before of the night to see what the preparation is like again, as a quick peek with new rides and things; the video is below.

The Quiet Prepping Day:

So with another day of work, it was gonna have to be and starting off the day with getting a lift in with some cold weather and a nice jacket on after packing the bags, which I need to pack for the jacket and clothes. I need to be able to do both nights in the shop. I was trying to get that all packed up as I did the night before. I still have to edit the summer vlog of Newquay, which I'm still working on while typing this up.

After that, it was into work, catching up with bits and pieces. Yes, the shop is still worked on bits and pieces everywhere I've got recorded and started before. I have various customers in an app, but there was a quiet day, which is nice and then after that, towards the end of the day,y after an iPad setup, I sen;t she went to hold the bar and got some pre-workout powder for extra caffeine to imitate what you feel used to do, which is a nice little packet.

A big box, actually, was just gonna be ideal to catch up with bits and pieces, so it started off, and then it was time to do my first visit before getting back to the shop and shaving before the night was to start and the night before vlog begins.

The Night before:

So it ends up being 7:15 pm. I just shaved, and it was time to get changed and head out with a jumper a friend of mine got for me when we went shopping together last week. But then it was time to walk down the back of the Market and then onwards to pass the Square, by which some new looks like a Bigger Ferris Wheel for the first time in a while as well.

The Selfie as the vlog started

A Look at the square with the Vans and the Blue sky starting to fade to darkness

Then it was walking by the back of the River to get to the car Park, which, as the new tradition, was only one half of the car park that was used which the Wharf empty, so getting on the back of that before walking into the main one. The Freak Out from last year returns, with then another Twister, before it leads to AActually aSlide/Helter Skelter just up from the Atlanta Dodgers this time around.

The Fairscape View with Over the Falls and The Slide in the middle

Then it was leading to the back of the fairground, with A Classic ride back under its basic style; City Hopper makes it sway back, and then it's the Pinnaclee or Star this year of the Vision orbiter. With its cyberpunk-style artwork and Moave colour with the LEDS and even the custom sounds going with it. This will be a popular one for people seeing it this year.

Then it was time to head my way out to the Main road, With this time Blaze was taking it stance in the Bus Station, which this time is a much safer way for this to be. But it was the only ride in the Bus station, so that has its bonus.

All off and still that standing out

As it ended up, the walk up the road: lorries and vans unloading, more food stalls parked up than ever before, but yet more gaps than I saw, but this was early since it's before 9pm and other traders yet to arrive as well. But it even came to the seasoner carvery placed in the Car park for the school at the top. Before then, noticing towels with images of animals. Then it becomes the walk back down to the square, with more food stalls, Catley Foods with the 3 lorries, plus even the timing of seeing the Ferris Wheel, Zizzler and Dodgems to make a return.

Then it was time for one last look in the Car Park with Vision before the walk back to the shop, which Co-op was closed, so that journey ended quicker than I thought.

Then, while reflecting on my way to Co-op, it was time to get the vlog ready to go and back in the shop for the editing. With some goasl to get time around, it will be an interesting one for sure.

Thanks for reading, and we'll catch up for the big day

A Warmer Calmer British fireworks Championships

2026-08-14T01:30:00.000+01:00

So it's the second day,y and a heatwave 5 waon s the horizon; it be too the second of the heatwaves coming through. With my level of work going, it was the actual way to be able to see how my body would cope. Since going to sleep from 3:30 to 4am and then waking up at 7:30am before getting out of bed by about 8am, it was time to carry on and see how this works out for a second day of the Championships. The vlog is below, and this might get delayed to see how things are going.

Insert Vlog here

The day of heat and questions

So getting up and rushing out the door by 8:10, which was not bad; the heat was getting warm already, but then it was on the bus and off to work I go. Usual 3 quid spent for a single and then relaxing and almost dozing my eyes off, which helped with the sunglasses for sure. But then it was time to get to work; I got off and walked my way via back alleys and got into work the usual time, and for me it was trying to semi-wake up but also hydrate since it was going to be hot and all that.

The morning was actually quiet, minus actually having to sort out some orders, which I managed to crack on and end up resolving. Some titles booked in work 1 week later than they arrived, and then it was consultations one after another until 6pm essentially. Which was a back run and also a message from someone potentially about being able to meet but iffy on timings, though it's flexible, and also one other message which was important to me and some closure on one topic, but we'll see.

The Bus in the Heated evenings

Eventually though it was just about 7:09pm and it was time to run to the bus which I just caught the double decked and got top seat first time after the usual £3 spent, which for me was the nice way to enjoy a good view while in this heat and sure the eclipse would have been the ideal time, for me it just was a nicer end to this 2 days of exploration, camera testing and heat of one I’ve never felt before. But this time it was just gonna be me to explore and me to do things in my own time. The journey was peaceful, to be honest, and well, I felt like it was busier on the bus than it was on the roads, and it felt more like last year.

Horrabridge in the Clear sky

Across the moor

Then it was getting towards town, with mutley getting packed, also the crowds starting to get off, for a change I cained the blogpost, then it was to get off at the stop by armada way, which years ago would have been the one I got off when going to Plymouth on the bus for trips and even how both my Holidays began that length of 8 years ago for my first ever, which this year is the deciding factor of no holiday then maybe its time I changed the oprioity on how life will work, especially as other admin like MTD is getting hard to manage. So I got off, and it was time to go to the casino for a nice cold drink and maybe some blackjack to take things easy and kill some time.

The Selfie when walking

The casino call exploring to view

So this was the mission: get to the casino and take things easy with a drink, since the usual time I get there it's always busy, but this time it felt dead. The crowds outside were busy on that part of town and the subway opened a new one up, which is quite cool, even with the Alfu shop losing its signs for that to be tilting

The View of the roundabout and Casino

Then it was time to enter, and I gave my rucksack to the staff and went up. I got a nice pee done before it was a glass of ice-cold water; it felt so refreshing, but also it was very calm to just close my eyes and relax. The rugby or some league was on TV there, and I was the only person sitting down.

The Water in the casino

Then it was time to get up and try to play blackjack or roulette, but I went to the cashier to get some £5 chips and turns out it ended up changing a tenner to 2 £5 notes since I forgot how it worked out. But it was for me to try, and then my phone buzzed; a customer called, wanted an emergency visit in the next few days. Like CALLING in the actual CASINO. So I walked out to get the phone call sorted before picking my rucksack off, and then time to head to the Hoe.

The Exploring of the Hoe to find our viewpoint

So this was then walking along the back roads to get up to the Hoe, and it was like the way of finally getting to find the place to view and go up. This usually ends up as a view to remember, with the crowds being packed and also passing some of the mini little restaurants. But I eventually made my way up there, and then it was to see the rides in action and test some of the long exposure features, which was more than just the blur of people, like the neon lights that can trail across.

The Freak out showing its glow

Extreme and The Tower in the spinning

More of No limits and the Twister

As I wandered around, it felt like a more peaceful tone, maybe since it was earlier and it was not as crowded as the night before. But I explored and then was feeling hungry, so decided to find some, but realised by the time I got to that end of the Hoe or to the Barbican, it would just be a hard time to find the viewpoint from this angle again. So I slowly made my way to the viewpoint from before. Which I took the other steps this time and then a mini bypass before I got to the top of the viewpoint and had to climb my way down.

More Fair Scapes

Using the night mode

The Neon version of the fair scape

Then it was my legs in a knot and time to unpack and just rest it easy for the while until the drone display was to happen yet again. But for this best bit, it was time to use a new piece of phone stand to try to make it easier and less chance opf it popping off like the original I used for the Wednesday vlog. This was from a Vheo 360 mounting one i've yet to open to get reviews, so we did a quick showcase.

Then once it was screwed in, some teens were to the left above with their buzzballs, chain smoking; a group were going to arrive. Which, sad to say, meant there would be a few distractions, such as seeing the drone show and then the displays afterwards.

The Tripod and the X360 phone stand

The Displays

The Drone Show:

Once the tripod stand was on, it gave a bit of a calm bang to it. As they all progressed, the drone show first was an interesting one to show more of the sports type for what Plymouth has to offer as well. Part of it did get blocked, but it is what it is. But thats also hearing whining about the signal being crap, but it was more that the mast was overwhelmed with devices and it can't handle that many, so smaller networks lose data service when this happens.

The ending of the show

The First Display:

Then it was the first display, and it had a weaker feel to it, felt more calm and relaxed when compared to the first day. There were some bangs and usuals, but it just didnt inspire me as much, plus the new stand was a small bit of tint to it as well.

A White finale on this time

Then it was a shortish break which turned out to be longer due to some delays, and that swayed me off a bit, since worst case it logs in with the issue of the fact it overruns and will miss things connecting, but the trains were behaving much better since actually the winds and clouds were coming to play here on this too. Which meant more tweaking of the tripod, since it almost fell over at some of the intervals too.

The Selfie in the first break

The Second display:

Eventually though, it eased off; the second display was sudden, but it was much more colourful than the previous one too, I will admit. It felt like it was more of the Reds and similar colours than the golden, especially the mini fountain sort of style they were going for from the pier itself.

The Final Display:

Eventually it was the end of the second display, wehich for me felt a sign of releif since its just one more to prepare for, since this time i didnt down the bottle of the applied nurution blue raspberry short to not overdo myself and push myself too had since up until 4am the night before was one i didn't want to worry on But after some pics and seeing the Ferry go off into the sea and darkness, the clouds were really picking up and i could feel there was a fair bit of rain tat was wanting to showe bit ti never die at akll. Then soon after the 3rd display was happening, and I really was just waiting for the bangs and the final blast of the affection before it was soon to be the end.

Another white Finale

Then it was time to finally pack up and get things together, with the hat squashed and almost the phone case hidden, the dark was its tricky place to find it. But getting it before the walk back

The Walk back to the station

It felt like a walk of shame, but at the same time it was a different route taken this time around. I want the Barican route back since it would be a slight bit less crowded; seeing the night lights of the Barican on the Note 14 Pro Plus 5G is a good sight.

The Reflections in the marina

All the parked boats

As I walked back, it reminded me of some of the nights out I had, passing one of the alleyways where I dropped the battery for the Ulefone, to passing the court, to even going back near Drake's Circus and then seeing loads at the new bus stops, which even then was still a busy vibe to it. Especially now with the slanted parking angle along with the stops full of people queueing.

Even then, I turned right where TK Maxx used to be to head back to the main shopping area to make my way back; the new Armada Way was still vibey lit, water was flowing, and even with that modern feeling, it was just a much calmer way to walk to semi; actually, I was going to run back to the station to not miss that train.

The view of Armada way after TK MAXX

Eventually, the station was there, traffic was heavy, and I got in without tapping this time, then made my way on that train to end. It was ACTUALLY PAcked intensly, i had to sit on the fold-out seats the 150s usually have by its doors too. But it felt like a repeat of last year in some ways, especially amazing how 2 years in a row, i've managed to get to vlog both days of the fireworks.

The sitting with the bottle of the Fuel shot

The calm home return

So it's been another late evening, would be the 2nd of the 4 evenings in that week (the next 2 days would be longer ones too from that phone call I had to even realise another was about to happen). So it was going to be a tiring few days ahead. But I was typing up what I could using the MacBook again since ther is a bit less slipping on it compared to the Surface Go 2 when typing; it might just be my poor typing in the fast sense. But either way, time was on its way and around midnight I was finally back in the station.

The Exhausted Selfie

The Selfie at the station

Then it was to get my things and then start waking up and going to the fridge to then see any last ideas before the walk back; there was actually some nice Chicken Curry and a Chicken Satay for microwaving, so I grabbed those as I walked my way up the hill home.

Picking up from the Fridge

A Less bright selfie

The mixed meal when i got back home

So then I said my goodbye; it's been a contrasting two events for me this year, but some actually have that enjoyment to compare it to. I did think of someone since it was her birthday on this day before the evening too, and we did WhatsApp earlier, so it feels right. But sometimes alone time is a way to just calm things out and away from working, which never happens anyway.

I'll try to get some blog posts done, but it's now to find time to do it since other delays are going to catch up with me.

An Ecliptic Fireworks Championships

2026-08-13T11:56:00.000+01:00

So this is an intense summer of so much variety:y, AI Slop poster about you, Various parts of one after another, meeting clients for meals, the list goes on, and really it's time to take a breath and a break, which is back to the usual traditions of the fireworks yet again. This time with the eclipse on our tail, the drought season of burnt grass and the final year that might be of disposable BBQs too, this will be one to remember for years to come. The vlog of the first day is below, since it's probably going to be less eventful outside of the bangs and their cityscapes now with the Redmi Note 14 Pro + 5G.

Insert vlog here

The Day:

The heat was making it a bit of a scorcher which was supposed to be less customers in and coming by, but after a bus ride in this mo rning before the shaving e nought before, it was the way to get the going and catch cup and make sure devices were chqerged up, glass ready, laptop ready for a change and also the phone was ready for the time. But it was all quiet eventually;y, with 4:4,5 I was my late afternoon ex. It was me to just get on with it and get 2 visits done.

Walking in the heat was not too bad; the 5pm windchill was a nicer touch for this,s and then it was the first of 2 visits all done and a nice calm effort. Sure, re there was thisWelshh cutie I’ve fed, and I sure found out shes in a relationship with someone else,e though she says she likes it in that wa;y but also shes no longer a feedee. That and also still in my mind is something from the past which was meant to be a new holiday to see but replies never seem to work as of late. Either way, it was soon to be 7pm after both visits, a few minutes away from each other and finally finished for the working day.

The Ecliptic run for the ..bus.

So it was 6:53, the bus arriving apparently at 7pm and me having to rush, but I got there at the bus station;n the timing was off, with another wait of 22 minutes according to the display. My plan was to do my usual, run to the last or second-to-last stop in town and get the bus. Which worked out actually amazing since it was the best way tosemi-actuallyy miss the whole night going dark because of the eclipse being at 7:15 p . So I ran my way to the end of the Redrow estates, which only had 5 minutes left until the bus arriving and 2 minutes past when the eclipse was going to be. I noticed the sky did go a slight bit darker, not completely dark, until well, I don't really know, since it never happened.

The selfie on the way to get the bus

The Sun after the eclipse in the trees

Then it was getting on the bus, a double-decker and quite empty, I might add. The traffic queue saw queues jammed up until the end of the main road past the diner, but eventually, it was then a relaxing journey with only 3 people, including me, on the top deck journey as far as The George. Like for real, it was calm and peaceful, and one of the times I do miss taking the bus in the summer since it’s not all hectic crowds and the stress of people. But it also reminded me of needing to take it soon to see my regular customer. The Sun was still in the clear sky, making its debut, with the clear sky and much more of a summer feel.

The Glowing Sun with the setting background on the moors

The Car sales on the empty sort of top of the bus.

But it then was eventually leading to get to derriford by around 8:05, the crowds were starting to build up, more queues were getting rammed and it was actually the big traffic spree so it makes it feel like the town was going to be incredible busy tonight, plus it was also a potential feeding date on the cards with as message I reached out too a mutual on feabs. But no reply from 3 hours later would pretty much give a no.

Eventually though, it was going to be time to have a sip of water when at the stop in Derriford and also check for replies. The sun was out of its eclipse at this point and well back to the summer events that as a kid I used to dream of. It felt like a slice of the back days. Eventually, the bus passed mutely plain; it was getting more queues up, but soon it was our turn to get off at the strip.

The Supply walk to the Hoe

So it was about 8:25, and finally I got off the bus and walked my way through the reservoir of the u; i, from many omracer’s nights out, this part was featured and then seeing the direction of what could have been with C from years ago,o minus the same old excuses. As I was getting off the bus, I noticed there was a check with the trains; it was cancelled. Ohhhhh ***, here we go again was the original train of thought, but in this case it was actually, to the plan of getting the Bus back to callington like I did in the St Ives tap day out vlog. But walking in a silent uni was a lovely feeling, and in this case it was something tranquil for a change. But eventually it walked my way past the SU: op and into the main road to get opposite the former Money Bank building, to Drake's Circus. Crowds still around at that point as many were starting to make their way to the event.

The Views of Drake Circus in the Heated Sun

With this in mind and half hour before B&M close just down the street, it was time I made my way there to get some new form of energy, this was the applied neutron blue raspberry shot, which is a nice boost of caffeine and as a curious £1 try a few weeks ago ended up making me sleep at 5am and that was not even on a focus time, so I got 2 of those, 2 bottles of water and also 1 pack of freedom which ended up costing £3.98, which was not as bad as hought, since getting £1.01 is about right for 5 items.

The £4 spending in B&M with the energy drink and water

Then it was time to get the glass on and walk my way to the hhome Which, as the past vlog did, made it feel like a route I usually take, but with the concern of checking the trains and even by that point the trains seemed to be not cancelled anymore, which was a sign of relief, but a WhatsApp to GWR might not have made any change. Passing my way through Barcode to Barbican gave me the night-out vibes from the bank holiday era. I was impressed with myself really. Especially as the Redmi was behaving itself (there wwere2 reboots and also might have configured the GCAM Mod wrong, but that was fixed later on.

The Dusk coming in on the City.

The Reflection in the Barbican

More of the boats stacked in

How it looks on the GCAM Mod

Looking torwards the other side of the marina.a

Then it was the sign of delight from the drones suddenly rising up as LED lights in the sky; this was actually a nice move for it, and as I was walking on the Hoe road, it was actually a nice semi-almost Plymouth advert, but some nice shapes from the rose, to the Plymouth in a heart. It really does have the ocean city vibe, and one day maybe a game might show how amazing it can look.

The Views of the Drones in the Sky

The Heart Shaped effects

This then led to the fun part next of finding my spot. This was almost a rush since time was ticking on and having to get to the viewing point was semi on my goal list this time around. So I managed, and by 9:26 I was there, and it was time to set up the tripod and use the nice calmer way to find the viewing point and show off the fireworks in their display.

The Displays.

So this was time to see them; the announcement was pretty quick this time around, so it was not on the part where I had to rush and start filming. The tripod’s phone grip was actually quite poor since it slipped like 3 times during this part; luckily, I caught the phone before it got that bit of damage to it. But once the case was off, it was easier to grip and then time to just film. The GCAM mod did a mess-up with filming, so screenshots during it weren't working, but I eventually got it going, and the first one was actually quite a bit of a bang.

Then it was the mini break, and this was the time to start the intro of the first sip of the Applied Nutrition blue raspberry energy shot; actually, this was quite an impressive feat, so I managed to start, but whoops, and ended up missing the point since the second display started. This one started out quite mild and calm.

Then it was actually a bit better for its time, but for it, I felt like it was not as exciting as the first. Sine it like stalled halfway and then carried on, but in the end there was a good few claps.

The Final mix of blue and golden showers

Then it was the final break, which for me actually was to down and mix their water and the raspberry shot, which had its nice diluted tang, since taking it on its own is too much energy I think I need rn, so it can let the body kick in when it needs to. But shortly after, it was the final, and this was doing quite a good shot for it. More booms and quite mini emojis in the display itself, and the 10 minutes were not as up as I thought, even with getting the angle better and even taking screenshots when filming on cam this time.

But then it was time to pack up and get the time to go home, since it was about to find out what the train was going to be and also if I had time to pay money into the ATM on the way back because of all of that. But packing up the tripod and then getting that ready to sort out means of getting back and also to explore the way home too.

The Night as it ends

Just before the start of the walk back

The Fair and walk train back.

It was 10:30 and time to get out,t not get too rammed to find my way home, since it was the fun amount of the crowds. But once packed up, the tide was coming out, and it was looking like it was that moment of slowly crowds moving out and a bit of the slower pics,

Then it was time to walk up the stairs and as I passed one of the restueants, I noticed a free burger left on the side, but with the light, it looked like it was more than just a bacon burger, but as I taken a bite, I tasted some cheese, so ended up spitting it out and chucking it somewhere to dispose off since it was worst case going to go through me on it.

The Leftover burger

But it was the way to the fair to walk past the tower, and the crowds were much more spaced out. But the rides had some new styles; Tiki Bungee was a new one. But it had the good feeling of being calm but wild and also let the chance to see how the long exposure skills with the Redmi nNote14 Pro 5G could work, and not too bad with a bit of hand control too.

The crowds were dispersing gradually as it was nearing the 11 mark; it was then passing Armada Way. The signal came back,k so my text and WhatsApp did; Snap came back with the interesting prediction of a potential, but it gives me a feeling of like a hidden truth might be awakened.

But the fountains were still going, and now much spillage from the recycled water did make it more amusing and more of that like feeling of the cooldown so many need with their feet. Especially as I was wearing thick socks, which did not help a fair part either. But it was then to pass the bank, which the debate with it being 10:55 and was like it will take longer than 10 minutes to get it into the machine and didn’t even count it, so for me thats not worth it.

The Crowds passing up the new Plaza.

Looking down at Armada Way

The LED Strips in the waterway are a nice touch.

Then it was to get the train and make sure I could get home, since for me the train was now running as it should and that sigh of relief. But it was surprising to be a bit later than it was, so I decided to tap on and off in case that was one reason, but the train only came back in dead on 11:16pm as well. Which then the tables, all bar one. Were taken since it was empty boxes on it. Which I set my place and then I was off home.

The ending of day one

Well, it was time to go; that feeling, it was a nice, successful day. I managed to sort myself out and ended up getting what I wanted to enjoy while this was the case. The train was easy; my head was getting a bit of a ufs to get this typed up, and I felt like I was not dragging there. Then it was to get off the place and to the fridge to see what was there before I wanted to finally get to bed late and sort out getting the first part of the video up, especially that chicken pasta salad in bed was a nice little treat to enjoy as well.

Thanks for the journey on. This andit'ss nice that I finally got the time to enjoy some new sights, got some new feels of the heart and delta partly involved for the eclipse that was happening too.

Take care

Seeing Positive In 2025 (2025 year in Review)

2026-01-04T16:25:00.003+00:00

This is going to be one of those short and snappy posts since I'm going to end up really rushing this, and 2025 has confirmed to me how far behind i've been in this life of a game. So this leads to the video to show how this was going to be.

This leads to a format that is different this year for review, since I don't have the actual time to complete it.

January.

Well, there are a few topics we start with,

Had a text from a girl I was trying to get to know, turns out she pretty much mentioned I'm an unstable feeder. This is when I knew life was going to get shit, but a wakeup call in some ways,
chatting in a FF Chatroom with this girl who was over 500lbs, her husband, who was some druglord in London, her mother owned a restaurant and all that. We chatted for like 3 months on and off. Even when chatting to her on a train
Jury service was a complete and unnecessary mess. Ever since, I've had alot more noticeable shaking of my left fist to calm my nerves
The girl who ghosted me in October 2024 wanted help and swore on her mum's life to pay me back. This will end up concluding
Accounts to sort out, which took time,
It was nice to have breakfast during the weekdays and not just on weekends
Had a selfie with Swaggy while waiting for the bus home

Time did not really fly by, but I could tell this was going to be one of those years. Negativity was going to consume me for the months ahead. Especially as it was also turned out that even things like posting on socials were going to be far behind.

Editing the music video

Frosty weather in the final week of working in January 2025

It was approaching the first video of the year for Pancake Day. Which, for me, was the key to how things really play out.

March:

This month was more about exploring and also the promise of things actually going to plan, which, of course, they fucking don't, but

Pancake day was late, but the vlog was to be done later that weekend
One girl I chatted to was getting negative and always had something happen every time I talked to her, which I was meant to video call her on my way home from a visit and B&M shopping, but she fell asleep after.
Looe is nice in the wet spring. Also, Slim Chickens is nice too
Visits with a regular customer on Saturday evenings, where the common trend and it felt nice to learn stories about him, his life started in February.
Saw my first Domino's Pizza. I fed that girl who stood me up in October last year, since plans for me to stay with her for a weekend were on the cards (thats a new story to tell), which for me was actually something I was looking forward to, but yet my fate was to be sealed on this.
Got cut off from the girl that I was meant ot be seeing after a favour went wrong with like Just eat. Moree is talking to this girl from FF.
Went to Bude, which had some snacks and somewhat cold views
This was the final month of using Tinder, since Hinge was going to go somewhere special in some ways

But time played on, and the usuals happened with work, and also Plans were set for east with the same person who stuffed me up in October, since chances are chances and we have to respect that. Then it leads to Mother's Day, A present from Strawberry Fields and also that limbo before easter was late that year.

B&M Selfies again

Rice and All Bran are always good to combine.

Which then leads to April, when regrets start to happen, and it's the times repeating all over again.

April

This month was going to be the key to how things went.

Turns out one last stranded thing at 4am in the morning was the end of that, since turns out another mutual friend was involved with the same excuses I was told
Another person from my past in 2022 ended up reaching out to me, and deja vu or repeating the same thing over again and talk of changing, but months later, it's the same story.
Heatwaves with spring are here, which means it is to be lush weather
This was also when a local girl chatting ended up doing the same as others had, even though she said she wasn't like that.
The end of the chat to the person who was almost daily on FF
A Welsh girl I was chatting to the first time was a commission, but it went a bit entitled
Chatting with someone, and nice to hear voice notes again :)

But it was soon time to deal with the scary part of the Wedding, Each for me was alot of shakes and I really just didn't feel like a very time too. But some texting helped, and then it was a realisation I'm the only single person under 50 in my family now.

This selfie for the bus

The Bride and her mum actually baked the cake.

And then it was the time for the summer months to really begin. Some things change and come to an endwhileen some things were only really starting and the exciting plans to be made.

June:

This month really shows how it will go right or wrong; this was also the time of ending plans on and also the summer being here and peak, dry weather and the like.

Moving on from work colleagues after they had a holiday.
The Switch 2 release at work
Dubai Spread is finally able to sell
It was the end of a chat from a local girl from exter, who turns out she was into girls only or a lesbian, one of the two factors.

Then it was to begin the anniversary month, and one of the main highlights of my year to be gone. With July, the time off vibes and the pl; planning for the year ending were starting to be in my head.

July:

This month was going to be a big one for me, with my Twitteriversary only wa week away and the cost of the extended warranty service. This was also the case of the point that it was more realising of the time that changed me. But for this month

Ended up getting to have a long day out vlog
Nice mini foods in Costa
A long cycle from Work to Ivybridge with new routes i've never been past before
Onion rings were a craving
The chance with a new chance of finding new people

The rest

Which then leads back to normal after this, and the rush to edit this, which took time. But it was also the time of more visits and working, even on the special anniversary for the 16th Twitterversary, sinc, after the news that would spread, it might not even last another year. But this was also the time I was having a weekend by myself.

Canal Path selfies

The sour cream and chive crackers are amazing.

This was also the time that I had to myself to get some meals done, but it was constant work too. But onion rings and more doughnuts are on point. But then it was the end of the month, a nd the time when the peak of summer had arrived. But that and finding someone lovely on Kik and getting to know them was nice, even if I never got the chance to speak to her again since she was technically homeless and lost her wallet days later.

Rice and Salad cream is a new mix.

Onion rings and Lime cordial are a mix.x

So then it leads to the next month, which is a new tactic of things and new people to end up mentoring for this month.

August:

This month was more about being selfish, this month, and this was the time to sort out plans such as:

The fireworks were nice to visit for 2 days
There was a phone review, but that was not going to last as long as it wanted to be
More Texts asking what I think were asked for what it seems like the usual
The Return of the girl who wanted me to bail her who also ghosted a week before the meeting started, to return, and then it was repeating the past, but this time in a name called Luke's account.
Work was shit and hectic due to having to have a massive tidy up due to a fire complaint.s
I finally got to have someone's number who has been really amazing to me over time.
This was the time to finally make chicken in cookie batter.

Then leads to the Fireworks for the first day and the second day, and using the Note 13s to experiment with features i've been itching to do, like dual camera and other things, it ends up being spoiled by the same things repeating over again.

Then it was the big month and one hectic one, which for me shows how far behind things go.

October:

This was it, the final 2 months of the year, the tension of the world changing and the time of things to consider and catch up with

people from the past to reconnect with getting needy and demanding

Over that day of Thursday, it was not bad until a text from someone from 3am when I was crashing out during the editing for the day vlog at that point. It was also the day the buses for Plymouth went past home, so I could have taken any bus home, which would have been easier. But the time kept going, and soon the final day of the fair.

The Rides in the blue glow

Freak Out

Honeycomb and a bag of doughnuts

The View of the River with the Sky and lights

The delays proceed

Which then was the time to knuckle down and sort more bits out. Which, for me, has a case of fitting everything in, this is when I realised I lost my online job I started in 2019, from forgetting to log in. But eventually it was the end of thre month and more parts to buy.

This then leads to another Sunday for shopping for bits since both bikes were in a massive crisis with the parts to get and a very weird sound on the chain when using it, just the timing ot get them looked at isn't happening for a while. Plus, those Crackers are addicting.

A Sunday Bike Part Shopping

Started chatting to a girl from Truro from FF, and it might be hopeful for more than just the deja vu. Since we went to WhatsApp straight away or quite quickly. But it was the same way + having to help fund a wine tasting she was going to hmm.
Mentoring online does get exhausting, and using a paging alarm ringtone for his whatsapp isnt very clear. ver

Then eventually the end of the month came to get bits and even more pants for fapping since Kaspa ones with the polyester nylon were very sensational needs. But that and more is a family birthday present to get as well. Plus, the Christmas markets were to begin.

But then it was the final month, and this was actually some self-realisation and also where its findign the right people to talk to and even losing myself in what's real and what's not anymore.

December.

This month tested me a bit, and things were going to go wrong, panic buying and double booking ajnd also realising a backlog was building up. But anyway,.......

This was then the 4 days off, some time to relax, the usual sister and family over, but it was a nice gap in between. To be fairt it was nothing of note, and the win chill on Christmas day really made the video fail, but still it was something relaxing.

And there haveave it, that was a few positive signs in 2025, hopefully 2026 is going to be more positive for me, it might not look likel, but it should fifind way for me to control things and get ahead, but that seems like a far-out goal as usual.

Take care and enjoy 2026

A Drizze Banked Bonfire Night

2025-11-06T01:00:00.001+00:00

So it's one of those nights of the year bargain, this is back to crap weather, and hopefully Ocean City is drier, but this vlog is going to be another delay to sort out things. But the vlog is below.

The admin catch-up day

Another wet plan on this part meant for m,e it's just feeling groggy, and also the time of more depression for some, but mfor e it was another day and also it was the fact with work being hectic and so many fucking orders it's just causing me to freeze up and not be able to get what I need to do done. I really feel good at some of the things now.

But the morning was not too bad, minus more phone calls from suppliers since there were some questions to sort out with planning the Christmas rush, but the phone was charging by 12, since the weather was holding, but not at the right time.

But for me, it was also quiet enough to actually get money or some of the money prepared to pay at this time, since that was overdue on its own end, which, minus a few more calls, was actually one of the reasons to go. But it was also using the airbags to get the things in this time for it, it worked to squeeze the notes in for sure and like.

Now it was also the key part fforme w, which took longer than I was expecting, and also finally got time to do the posts I needed to finally mention some of the rules. But that and browsing in between some times. But it was also having to rush since of a customer with a digital voice to sort out. I left about 5, and it was drizzling; some texts involved Intel wifi, but that goes later.

Then it was the visit, and actually it was quite a quick one, and luckily I prepared what I needed to for this since it was the key to one of the phones to get in, and it was then planned to swetu;p lsinmce of EE actually working for a change on the site. So that finished.

The Bus Journey

I then actually made my way to the bus station, it was 4 minutes to 6 and turned out the bus was still there. Wahst a stroke of luck, so for me it was a sm, ll queue then £3 to get on and after that, it was the back of the bus and in a familalr sight to see from many a year ago on the antic of the back of the bus, from karoke to having fingers in my ear and being kicked for admitting i hated X factor.

But as it was the bus, it was then time to diagnose Intel drivers' issues on the maibenben via a WhatsApp call, which has either had the board kill 2 Intel wifi cards or the Intel wifi cards suddenly go duff is a weird flex. But that took up most of the journey, which actually was not as hectic a bus ride as I was expecting, but the weather put alot of people off.

But eventually the road was going, and it was also the fact that the bus doesn't stop at the station anymore and goes right by the club scene of Cuba from my olden days. So it was then to get off the bus and make my way to the Hoe.

The Walk up to the Hoe,

So this was then in the drizzle, and to walk my way to the Hoe, since Drakes Circus was semi-busy and also the roads were not too queued, but some parts of it. But I made my way to the other side this time to go via the back of the casino to then access the fairground.

Which, for then, it was time to finally have a look around the fiarground with only 10 minutes remaining until the display begins. The drizzle did make it feel damp and boring, but there were crowds there.

The Superstar

The Super Bowl

No Limits and Oxygen

More rides from behind

Venom and the wheel

Another Exterme orbiter

The crowds in the Blue light sky

The darker view of the crowds

The Display

This then leads to the next few minutes, where the display. This was then to have to lean and look up to. Since the mist was not as bad as last year, but still there. This time it was going to lean. And view the Display. It was nice and suddenly just started, since the rides went silent in the music and jingles. The breeze of the spinning was what was heard, and then the display began; it was only about 14 minutes or so.

The start of it

The red glows

This is the small sparks in the smoke.

More Red glows

The golden sparks

Red and gold in the sky

more red and gold

The sparks like a fountain

The smoke was getting in the way.

Now the golden is shown.

As the display gets brighter

The Final Sparker

So this then leads to the end of the display and the time to look around for the bonfire itself. Since it was then just time to kill and also more money to bank in for the final time for work in 2025. The Fire was roaring but not warming the place up. The sky was a bit clearer, but it was still showing that the crowds were starting to leave.

The Burning Bonfire with the glow of the Tower

The streaks of the Fair

So it was time to get the legs moving to explore the parts of the Fairground, from the rides to even the chance to go to the toilet since I was needing it, though it was scary since of the risk that some guys were hanging abou and could end up shaking the cubicles over and then like one of the Beavis and Butthead movies, have that happen all over so like um not for me. But that didn't, so it was time to make my way back to the city.

Venom is in full swing.

More Scape of the Fair

Looking towards the city

The Poppies for the memorial and Remembrance on that weekend after this

The stalls

So then it was time to walk my way back, past court, and then with the bsck paths to end up near Drake Circus, to then pass through that, to B&M to find my way to getting reeva chicken mash potato pots which a few B&Ms locall have ran out with, but they ddint have any so it was the oppotunijity to get the cream one instead. That and a milka bar to go with 2 cans of Lucozade alert too for £1. The total was not very much at all. The town was quiet by this point, and there was still time left before the train at 9:30.

The bundle for like £4 or so. 2 for £1 on the cans, £0.49 for the mach potato and £1.50 for the Daim Milka

Afttwr thos it was the nice part to actially get money paid into work and this time was not a lost my card panic but it was anogher case of the cash macnine crashed after paying in a fair bit and luckily as i did it in stages it did not lose all the money bug maybe over £100, which the way that bank works its not working to actually report it. But then it was one more time to kill. I wondered and went to a Japanese restaurant to check out the menu, and there was a nice-looking soft waitress with that nice look to her, and she was pondering the question of what could be cooked in 15 minutes, before the train went to, but she said best not to worry, and I left.

Then walked my way back up the middle of the new path to then get to the station and catch the last train home, which i've had to catch a few times this year.

Waiting at the platforms to kill time before it was the train home

The train was nice and not too heaving, some bere alston peeeps but some new faces. It was then to just find a seat since the table ones are not there as much as they used to be. But eventually it was back home before the walk up the hill in the dark to check the fridge out and get home.

The Station, as I started to walk up

The fridge had not been working much, and then it was a case to get home and make time for relaxing. While a late tea of noodles and crisps makes it all better.

The Late tea

So then that covers this, and it's the end of the normal blog posts. Maybe times of the year have gone, and it's the time to plan the end of this and see what has changed so much has, and even I'm not ready for what to expect in the big 2026.

Take care

#TavistockGoosefair 2025: The Complete Tale

2025-10-08T23:14:00.765+01:00

So this was finally here. I'm not prepared, and I'm still finishing a video from the first works championships, but time has its pressure. It's time to finally take a fresh look at it in a new way.

The Day Before:

The morning

We begin with the part of having to sort out a normal-ish day at work, the Windows 11 migration has its moments about and means late night, online work was a backlog, which for this was to bring one laptop. This gives me the chance to prepare for what I was going to go for and how it was. Luckily, I was trying to be focused, and visits that week were cancelled or not happening due to the Fair, which gave me the time to focus on this week. The weather was looking amazing for a change. But I was in no way prepared for how this was; I was still daily in the mode of tasks to sort out which had taken that time. But as time went on, things calmed down, and the traffic was starting to be the end of closing. One person was desperate to pick up one phone, so that meant I was late to leave work.

Eventually, it came to the point where I was feeling like it was one visit to go, and then the event began. It was a contrast to last year, sure, the texting with others, which didnt mess me up for the big event. But after a home visit to a regular, it was then dark and time to make my way to the Fair.

The selfie on the way for the vlog to start

The browsing of the fair

So this was it, I was then busy at the bus station near 7 o'clock to look around the fairground and see what was being prepared for the event. I was then walking down, the stalls getting put up, and the fair was as loud as it ever was. There were fewer crowds on this, which was a surprise this time, and the layout of the rides was a bit different. The helter Skelter was in the middle of the fairground.

Crazy Frog and Over the Falls

The fun House of a circus

The View from one side to the other

More of the extreme rides part

The Side of the Freakout

As I walked my way, it was time to explore the stalls and get a sneak peek at some of the stalls moving in this year. This time, there were some more gaps as I was looking around the street. It was that preparing buzz and also seeing some of the stalls with the same stuff, but also in different layouts for some of them, which gave a new twist on things.

The view looking towards the town

The food court is being built up.

Looking towards the statue

Then, as I walked towards the end, it was time to look back and walk my way to the main square, to find out what was coming up, since there was some peek as I went to work on the morning of that Tuesday. Which then the square looked to be more, a new mix of stalls compared to other stalls the previous years. Plus, new rides in the car park were a nice touch to go with it.

The stalls by the traffic lights

A Peek at Extreme Punk and the carousel

Look at Blaze and the town hall.ll

It was then time to head back to the shop, but before that, I had to go to the op and get some more bits in which for me was to plan the feeling with the planning a bit more in place this time, and the ways to actually get stuff done were the plan here. But Co-op was first in the plan to get some things, since I had water.

The Bottle cost £0.75 if I remember. Then some Orange sticker cookies, which were a nice snack before I got back to the shop to end the vlog. Sine then it was time to get changed and knuckle down for actually editing the Fireworks championship vlog since that was REALLY overdue. But time passed, and it was eventually both videos done. Actually, a 2-hour sleep on the chair stretching out from 6am to about 8:30am or so, if I remember.

The Day:

So this was still a bit of a blur on how things were, and actually, it was better planned than last year. I was up at 8:30am. Which then it was eventually time to get the video uploaded for the night before. Especially with the chance of making sure I was caught up. But then it was ultimately time to get the bit going, and then it was going to be the first step to then get ready to go. The weather was not doing very well, ans the rain was starting to come u, which was for me to get it. But it was time for the vlog to start.

Then it was time to explore the fair, in the rain, to see if anything would be good this time around.

The Exploring

So, we start with fewer stalls by the market road, which was an understanding take with the cost of the living crisis still in effect, which means it will feel like last year will bring fewer stalls in and people will spend a bit less for it. But it was to the point of still being crowded about.

The views of the fair and the crowds looking towards the square

But it was then time to explore the Market, and actually there was much ess there. Likthereit were no birds due to the avian flu, half the stalls were not there, and also there were less of crowds coming up from there, which was the part that really showed it had gone down. But still Calves, beagles and even the learning of the bees were the fun part of this season of Fairs.

Look at some of the stalls left, like only 3

Calves resting

More music performances

But it was then time to head back to the main event, with less traffic on the road and fewer people walking up, it was telling that the market side was slipping in its popularity for sure. But then it was to explore some of the stalls. Although this was still crowded, some popular ones returned, like the Lindt for £6 as well. But I walked up, and it was nice to have the familiar layout and the meats were as popular as ever.

More tat and gifts to go for

The Catkley vans are at it again.

Then it goes to the fun point of the smaller stalls which offer various crafts and specialities this year for the time, like for sure it was new sauces to try, and also it was the luck of the previous to see a FUNNEEL. So that was going to be on the shopping list this time around. It was soon time to think about the way back. Since after this were more jumpers thats were seen before, it was time to finally get myself to look at the fairground once again.

the Jumpers

The funnels #throughglasss

The Fairground:

Then it was time to see the rides and the fun of the main part of this event in its details, with some reason to be had and the fact that it was coming to the side of not as many crowds too. For me, it was quieter this year since the weather failed to stay dry. But it was nice to see some rides before we continued the walk onwards to the strip of stalls for the fair.

The Twister

Terminator in its prime

Tagada

Crazy Frog too.

Dodgems in the rain

Then it was time to go back to the ground and carry on the journey to explore what was going to be explored.

The Rest of the stalls

I walked up and saw more stalls to carry on with, some more of the crowds were dense, but it was there that how many the different opinions of the vast stalls. The weather was a bit better by this point, but it was still more for the exploration, from the interesting neon style laced shoes to more jewellery to buy.

More toys

More views

As it was leading to the food court, it was not too crowded, and it was also like the mix from the music performances in the tent, which was a small group playing, but it wasn't like heaving in this area for sure. The prices of the food were going right up, as they had done in the past few months as well. Once you get past this point, its the semi of the same few stalls you see before it goes to the end with the wooden sculptures. The doughnuts from last year were back again in the same small spot as before, which was nice, but this year was NOT another doughnut that was on the mind here, since later on, it was going to be the time to finally pick the food to have for lunch on Goose Fair Day. Plus, it was also time to purchase things on the way back.

More Minecraft deals, this time it's crystal.s

Interesting Rainbow toothbrush

The Performance

Salt and Pepper Food Vans

Quilts and covers for sale

Then it was time to make my way back to actually enjoy it, especially with sauces and chocolates to taste test along the wayWhichch was going to be the change of heart. So it was time to do more taste testing before the crowds to pass by and the Funnels to pay for £3.

The chocolates, which have their charm but a high price

Metallic cows

More crowds and the clouds with the stalls

The woolly parts

The wooden figures

The Weighing of the Geese

2 x Funnels for like £3 total.

Then it was time to decide to explore the square to plan out what we do to then get some lunch sorted, since this was going to be the harder choice of the two. But before this, it was the time of actually some presents to finally sort out. Since it was also the time of getting shortbread for suppliers, and that was 5 smaller boxes for £5, which is a better bargain for sure than the bigger boxes in previous years.

But more Football frames, Lindt Boxes, but smaller on the deals this time compared to last year. But 3 boxes for £10 was the goal done too. So it was my idea of cookies again,n but thats been done before the lunch idea. I did not go this year.

The football frames

The Lindt box stall

The £10 for 3 boxes of Lindy and the 5 boxes of shortbread for £5

The large cookies

This then led me to try the next best thing, which for me will be the Brownies, so that was my next goal. The brownies cost £4.50, and the Burger was £5.50. Which is about the mark with the cost of food prices in the last few months, it was going to go up too. But then it was time to head back to work and get this sorted.

The Burger for £5.50

The Brownie Burger and the Editing

This then leads to the part of getting on the vlog to finish it off, since the night before was the time to get the vlog sorted. But before that, it was going to be the case to finally make the brownie burger.

The Burger and the Oreo Brownie

The Oreo Burger Brownie

This was amazing in its taste, and it was also easier to make, thanks to the slicing of the brownie, than it was to make. Then, it was time to eat it, and it did fill me nicely and easily, too.

The Selfie before eating the burger

The Selfie after finishing the brownie burger

It was then the case in the point of editing to sort out the vlogs, which for the next few hours will be backlogged to finish up with, and also it was the time for this. Now,u use the time of what happens, it was the next few hours of this. Which eventually is nearing 7:30pm. Which then was the time for the evening vlog to get to the next level. level

The Evening:

Well, it was then time for the night vlog to go on. This was a drier night, which had some new bits, which was nice in the evening compared but it was a quiet time. For this, it makes sense to explore and get the final bits before the night ends.

It was then that To explored the streets. Which, for me, had its vibe of the same but it's also the fact that the lights and sounds make it feel better than the day.

The Stalls by the square

This was the difference to go by the river to start from the fair this time and make my way up the stalls from that way, which the pasth was busy and also the rides were blasting as normal with the sighs and sounds.

The Path by the river

Over the Falls

dodgems and the fairscape

Freak out in the neon glow.

More of the fairscape

Which the. It was the time to finally rejoin the stalls and explore the last deals of stills that were not passing up, a nd also the various things from labubu keychains to the famous gothic shirts that return each year, with rucksacks to boot.

Looking back at the fairground

Blurry keychains

The painted rucksacks

The shirts that arrive every year, even as I still remind myself I got one for someone special 7 years ago

But then it was passing the food court, which was not much there and shortly after it was to the peak of the place by the roundabout, which by then it was my time to turn back and get some various gifts. This time it was something nice and small before getting towards the square again to look at the Rides and the stalls packing up.

The crowds clear when heading towards the bus station.

A Selfie in the Square

Looking Back at the Roundabout

As it was nearing the last hour, it was time to find somewhere cheap to get some dinner, which my jounrye was up and down the stalls vut iut ecen v ended up going to West Street to then get some spicy spuds or kebabsa or something like that but even the cheaper there was over the change i had left after the spoewnt out from the day morning shopping of the fair itself. But this was short-lived on the price. So it was time to walk back to the co-op for one final time before going back to the shop to end the day. Night.

West Street in a blurry view

The barriers in front of Sjzzler

Then with co cop of small bits like a 2L bottle of water and a sausage roll, I made my way back to the shop, to end the vlog there that day, which by then was near 9 9pmn narn as the week sunned ut wasn't too hot, but the faiur was winding down after the 9omn pm.

Once that was done, it was time to settle down, and like have the biox os shortvread just the one biox fior the nmeak if kunch thtsas niufht,

The meal for Wednesday night of the shortbread box and sausage roll

The night was long, a nd I crashed out about 1am, which then waking up from 3am from a text message from Chloe regarding meeting up was a big shock. I was not expecting it, but explained about the past and never replied ever since.

Then it was time to go to sleep for real until 8am, and then video editing from there to finish off Thursday. Sinin between then was more negativity from some, the traffic caused road closures, which actually meant I could have had a later bus home from another, and also it was trying to finish off the vlog with editing the night, which ended up taking a LONG time to sort out.

The Last Day: Saturday

So it's Saturday, and actually, it was a quiet-ish day with some repairs to sort out. But it was also the time of the same person I had to visit on Tuesday night, who was the one to set up again. But it was also the time of taking the bike to work. But at the end of it. The night vlog was the key, and actually, it was packing up more quickly than I imagined.

Look around.

So I was walking back down to the car park. After going from the top of the town in the lovely moonlit sky. And it was nice, like it felt fresh, the Rides were not blasting as much as they seemed, and also it felt like a calm end to this chaotic week of fair stalls and food. But the glows are there, and some riders.

The rollcage

The Freak Out

Then it was time to sort out the bits to grab, so another batch of Doughnuts to buy, as well as the issue of some Honeycomb bits, which are like more boulders of Cadbury Crunchie.

The doughnuts and the Honeycomb bits, which cost something I forgot now, but nearly £10 for this.

Then it was starting to head my way back, which, when passing Bedford, I got a text from someone i've been feeding, and it was the 3 words as usual.

So that was me and another voucher to sort out. Then it was time to finally leave and cycle back home

Then that was it, the Goose Fair saga ended, and well it was to continue life as normal

A Final Train of the summer

2025-09-08T01:20:00.008+01:00

So this was an event of hardly anything going on, and with the summer now in its final weeks, it was a day out to actually travel to see parents on the 2nd full day of their holiday. Even though the 1st full day was a wet out and more to cope with. But instead, this ended up as a time of the weekend to catch up on things. But it was to be the case of that little break to finally see the end of summer, even though it's noticed from the release from work and the extra demands I've got to sort out.

The ~Start of the time to myself.

We start with it coming home from work around 8:30pm or so since it was now dusk and also the case in point that I was meant to finally crack down on getting the vlogs for the Fireworks Championships edited, especially now the time of the Redmi Note 13 vlog was to be cancelled due to the events of the phone had to be sold on in the end anyway.

The Selfie on the cycle home

But it was then time to crack on with the chores of Walking Rosie after unloading the bike. The nights have gotten cooler and lulling in more, so it was now the case that I had to get that walk done in the dusk to night. Which was a shame, but in the end, after the mini green area with walking her, the time of luck was there with the Fridge having a chicken sandwich inside it, so that was going to be the breakfast of that journey.

Then it was the usual growls with Rosie as she guards the kitchen as per usual, so that went to a bit of a nightmare to sort out the feeding time as it goes. Plus, it was also another feedee whatsapping me for food, but then delays in her replies after. Especially as this story on what's going on with the goal has completely changed, and for me, it makes no sense what happens. But it was also the case of another person from last year who came back (actually after the drama of the easter weekend away that NEVER happened due to a paywall the week before), so this means will this repeat that easter weekend or October again, or will it happen with someone else?

Either way, the key was then watching Futurama while cooking a Katsu curry-seasoned Quorn Mice Vegetable Stir-fry with chips included. It was like a mountain on the plate, but it was really nice so I didn't feel too full, not as sickly as it was with the cookie-battered Fried chicken and chips the day before.

Then it was finally time at midnight once sorting some backing up out, to get the MacBook Pro Setup, this is one of those overdue needed tools since editing on the laptop the past months hasn't happened since its beern tough and a deal came up of under £350 for a small bi of a crack on a M1 MacBook pro 2020 with 16GB RAM and 512GB Storage, so this will speed up editing for thongs like Goose Fair and also other vlogs but its finding the time to actually fet those done without crahsibng out ort the case of being distracted. This is on top of a cameo that has to happen, and I need to get that done, too. Using USB 4 cables really speeds up 200GB transfers in just over 20 minutes. But that and the base of the speakers really make you feel it, so well worth it. A shell is needed to be able to get it safely.

Then I crashed out, and it was a blur of sleep.

The Sunday Morning

With Google Nest on, the alarm was at for 8 a.m., and daily, there was a 7 and 7:30am alarm to get things sorted, so that was that. It was a strain to open my eyes, and turns out Finley was sleeping by my leg too and purred as he usually does. But then it was a crash out, and it was then 8:40am already, when the train was at 10, and the preparation to get things done was to be ready. This was not a vlog since family, but still, it's a midday out that takes time, and Rosie can be fussy, since already she was guarding the door. So that was out of the question, but the kettle was on for then the shaving to get the look sorted. This time, I used the bathroom instead of my bedroom sink. This was due to the issue of the mirror being bright enough, which made me cut my chin on the past few shaves.

Then it was time to walk Rosie, which I got in a nice hoodie and jeans. She was ready, and we headed off to the green area by the centre. She loves it there; the boots were used due to the wet ground. But it was peaceful and getting actually quite warm too. But she was happy, and we got to the fridge, and I picked up some nice bits like 3 cookies, 2 cinnamon rolls and also 2 bread rolls, which were nice too.

The Dog walking in the morning before the rain.

Then it was time to get back, and it was ready for me to get properly changed and call mum, since she wanted like dominoes (Not the pizza), her tablets, and I bought the cookies with me. This time, I was debating bringing the MacBook, but the Surface was the better option for me to take, really. So I went with the Surface and bought the charger I found under a desk, which actually supplies 20W with usb C PD, which the Surface charged up nicely too. I then left just after 10 and got to the station, and the journey began.

The station

The Stop and Start Journey

So this was the comfy part, since we left just after 10:11, which seemed like it was stalling or something, making it feel longer, really, but the journey was calm, a nice table to stretch the legs out, and it was the admin emails to sort out first, while sorting and having the breakfast of a chicken salad sandwich. It was nice and that season on the Mayo Co-op really knew how, but it's a pre-made sandwich sauce that's different to others like Heinz and Hellman's really.

The Chicken Salad Sandwich for breakfast.

AS the tickets were shown and the journey progressed, it was nide to finally enjoy things, the sun was clearing up and it was then soon to get past St Bueadoux and the checking the Real time trains since the train to Exeter was actually later so it mean I could get a bit earlier train up to newton abbott, but there is a catch in this case, since it was odd how we stopped onger at Devonport, like something was wrong and it was lmost like a cancelation which made little sense. But eventually, we made progress and got in just after 11 to Plymouth. Though it was really odd how the train had to stop and check the rails as we were on the bridge, it was a bit of a hmm and karma moment, but then it was off the train and to change platforms.

Now then, we get to Platform 5, 6 to get on, but it was odd how the announcements ended up the train I was originally going to get came in and left earlier. I changed trains and went under the underpass and then caught up to finally get on, which I got and left with me on it. I sat opposite this chap, who was using a MacBook, so it felt proper business vibe. The train was gone, much smoother, and it was actually about 40 minutes by the time we got to Newton Abbott, which I texted mum to say I was there before 12. While it was peeing it down in Totnes, it was something late of finally sorting steam authenticator out.

The Platform to leave at Newton Abbott

The Pickup and misdirection to Trago

I waited about in the pouring rain, which was actually a grr on where they were, I ended up walking towards the main station entrance. I saw them. I slowly walked past a car reversing, and then as I was getting by, she opened the car and called me a fucking idiot, like I was not even going fast and curved to avoid it, then it was in the car, and we decided on what to do. The weather was starting to clear up, but it was off and on. For the sake of purpose, it was not even a good idea to go to the coast since it was going to be pouring, the clouds and the wind. Butr then we ended up going to a wrong turning and were on the wrong road out of Newton Abbot to get to trago, so we ended up turning our trail back and then it was a left which then it was going down and uop this narrow road rhwich then it was going to finally be the case of getting to the main road before we got there.

Trago has a surreal feel to it. This one, with a long drive in and pylons by the garage on the way in, it is like a different part of the country, too. But we eventually parked at a place near the actual entrance of the bridge, which was nice

The Explore of Trago

Now this seems like nothing, but it was a new case of how this was different, but we walked in the sun and passed the courtyard, which had a fair whack of people walking around, especially the final weekend before school started for many. Its that rush to buy things and the final days of holiday for some who left it last minute. But as we passed walking near another entrance, it was time to find a place to eat, and we ended up choosing Pinocchio's. This is a nice little greasy spoon-style restaurant with some wide picnic tables. But then we sat down and looked at what to order, I went for a nice one of a BBQ Pulled Pork Burger and chips, which was a nice amount of them, Sure £10.50 but this is local business and the meat does make the price go up for sure as well. But we moved tables since it was a bit of a tricky one since it was right by the door.

The BBQ Pulled Pork burger with chips and Red Cabbage Slaw

As I was eating, the tastes were really nice, plus there were some nice vibes in here, which made it feel warm and comfortable even in the charm of a canteen. But while it was on and off raining, it was time to walk our way past the fun park and into the other entrance before it was time to look inside, and it was a much more vast and wider trago than the liskard one. With the entrance and the music section more expanded than others, including drums and guitars, rows of books and the lighting was much more spaced out too.

As we explored, it was so vast we all lost each other multiple times, and the sports range was ok, but the parts I needed for the bike were not there this time, too. But then we moved to the other warehouse part, which had some more deals like the sweets, also some more of the other grocery types of options, which i ended up getting like 2 bottles of perfectly clear for like £0.50 each, which was sooo good value, ok it was lemon and lime but really good value nonetheless. Then we got that paid before and some other bits before we dropped it back to the car before we started looking to have a nice little drink break from the exit we just came out of.

The View of Trago from the main bridge entrance

Then it was a bit more checking of this food stall after our quick drink break, which was like nice reduced fruit and veg for like £1 each, not much I wanted since all the fave foods ran out, but afterwards it was to go to the Build complex for looking at more DIY parts there. There were a few small bits we picked up, but then we got to the car and drove off to the Holiday Park, and both of them were staying at

A Finlake drive tour and lodge look

So this was the time to go to the A38 and finally see what this park was like. It was a fair bit in the middle of nowhere, but it had this windy lane going up, and it then ended up feeling like an entry to a centreparks with the forest look, but then we drove to find the lakes which aftrer the narror lanes, we made it but nowhere to park at all which was a shame but it wasnt really much there. So we drove back to find the car parking space, and that was literally at the top of the park by the entrance.

We then unloaded and walked with ruckacks and all to where the lodge was, which was actually right in front of us. Both told me this story of the rain made this kid slide down and smack right into the front door, which is funny that happened, actually, but never sure why it did. We then entered and took my shoes off. It was very cosy and yet modern with that nature vibe to it. Especially with the Balcony, which the door does not have a latch on so it swings right the way around.

The view from the Balcony

Then it's more to catch up and hear from both about how the place is and the first day or so with the rain being on and off. But it was then to check some signals and emails to do before it was time to get the drop off back. The Sun was out, and it was nice to feel that the last bit of summer was still here.

The Station and the rides home

So it was time to wait at Newton Abbott station, where the entrance was very quiet and the platforms were empty. Which for me was time to eventually try this cameo, since I had one to sort out, which for me was delayed due to the phone change debacle. But it was peaceful on this platform, sure the one behind me had 2 trains stopping, one to Paddington and one to Exmouth via Exeter St Davids, those turbos are useful.

Going down the path of the platform.

Which then it was the part to wait for the train, which it was a bit late by about 5 minutes or so, That train was a packed one, so i got on the train and managed to find a spare table seat but turns out it was minor, but then i swapped to a aisewl sleart sinde this goruo of 4 needed a nin reserved table so this bunch of 4 could sit goether on a some free seats wirthout having tio moved off to another seasg due to a resewrvation on the table ones they had agt the rime.

The train was cruising in as normal, and by the time I knew, I was back at Plymouth, and then a toilet break on another platform row before it was time to go back on the main train, and some guys nodded, " You'll have a great ride.

The other train departing while the last break before the train home

The selfie I took on the train while typing this up.

Then it was the train going, and it was that vibe of hearing Shanties and Cornish songs with a group of drunk guys singing it, this kid and her mum opposite me were singing away at this as well. It had some nice charm and variation of the legendary songs, and I even laughed a chuckle to say that was a clever fit. Eventually, I got off, and it was time to walk up the hill and get a snack on the way from the fridge. There wasn't any of this on there. But after it was the usual course for Rosie to walk and for both pets to arrange their food bowls. Before a chill with more cartoons and A chicken tikka masala this time.

The chicken tikka masala with Rice, waffles, Donner kebab and All Bran

And there you have it, but September has more for me to catch up on, and potentially will a date finally happen or back to the same mistakes as I question my sanity.

The Hot summer Fireworks Championships

2025-08-16T00:41:00.001+01:00

So, with the second day of things to go and it was the case in point to finally get time to do both nights for a change, which this one with the weather being better and also with actually a little bit more time than the Wednesday night. I really feel it was. But this night ends in the same mistake coming back to haunt me almost. But this time it felt a more sombre ending from that.

Insert Vlog here

A Sunny end to working that day

Well the thursday was another hectic day and it was luckily going to have a semi not too long to cope with with a new project for this to work. So first off it was leaving at 5pm as normal to what was meant to be a password part but then it was another visit to go on the way up there which was easier for a quick 10 minutes. Since i know if the visit was longer than 7:15 it was no point going and with things to pay in and the chaos of the delays of money of yesterday of the stress this causes.

Eventually the visit ended just around the 6:40 or so mark since it was that time to finish off and then it was a run past the north of town to then go down steep hills like rocky, which was meant to be opened up the week after i ran that way. But it was literally then the short distance to then get to the station since it was literally about to leave, thank something for it. I got on for the £3 fare then upstairs to then relax as i typed my way up and also was making sure the battery was ok for the Redmi Note 13 Pro.

The Journey

So this time it felt a much quieter journey to get to Plymouth than before, that 20 minutes difference is really something. Like less busy on the roads and it felt quicker like 30 minutes to actually get to roborough too. Especially as the bus was starting to warm up and the clear blue sky was out as well in full summer sun mode.

Then it was getting to derriford and the crowds were coming on but not as much as the previous day, this time was the streets a lot more quieter and not as chocco with animals running around the hospital part too. The Roads gotten busier as we enter the manadon roundabout and at least it was no chatter for me this time while focusing n a mix of the typing up and checking the other things on the phone before getting off. We ended up getting back to the the same stop we come from which was the train station and that help like it was a norna pall but it was then time to get the vlog and walked started.

The Roundabout for the Train Station

The walk to the Hoe from the other side

Then it was time to walk a different direction since day 1 was walking by the Barbican and inward and this time would be walking the original direction i normally go to which was from the casino. Since of the Rucksack i didn't bother going to the casino this time. Before I did this, it was time to go to the toilet in drakes circus since i was bursting to go.

Drakes Circus in the clear sky

Then it was time to head my way to the bottom, where the fast food chains line, a new brand of burgers was a not bad in its price but for me seemed expensive for sure. But then it was to the back of the casino to then get glass on and explore the fair. This does make it nice to pass through and with the mind of being able to finally explore the city in a higher res.

The view looking down the west part of Plymouth

Then it was time to get pass the disabled car park, then it was some range of new rides and some of the classics which the crowds were MUCH busier this time.

Chaos

The fair in the sky with the glow

Stargate with the green portal glow vibe

The view of the Flyer

Then it was time to explore more of the fair and seeing the wheel as well, which was very queued up. So it was then to see the more views before deciding on what to eat, which was the journey to walk around to the other side.

Then it was time to go to see the area of the Hoe and check the fun part of the chinese restaurant of the wet wok, which felt a bit rushed in some ways and also it was then to check the waffle place opposite. Which that was much quieter, but i hesitated then walked my way to the viewing spot which actually i climbed up a bit more to then find a higher place to film, i almost did slip with the trainers i had on.

The Crowds

It was then time to see the next and final 3 displays of this event of the champions of champions with this fireworks. so we go from that part. and see how it goes.

The Displays

So it comes to this and we start off which turned out to be the actual best one which was Selstar Fireworks. This ended with some of the best fireworks i've ever seen in my own eyes, its a shame I didn't actually show pictures of this but the eyes did not device me on this occasion. Like it was spectacular.

The first bang as it goes off

Then it was the relaxing after that break which for it was great, it was lowering myself down a few rocks to make it comfy and also to then know it was the second display up next and sure i missed a bit of it, it was nice to film and see how it can handle. thought again it was time to push this as i can. So we waited and the second display from Fully Fused Fireworks was starting on time. Which this was alot more calmer than the previous one and the night before. Eventually it was then coming to the gap between the 2nd and the last display.

The night shot with the crowds in the front

The blurred selfie

This then leads to the next and final stage of this event, the final display which was a bit more vibrant but nothing like the first one of this evening. 1st Galaxy Fireworks were giving as good bang to end this and it was nice with a bit of yawning from a tired and long day completed. Less music this time from the crowds and i did end up filming with getting pictures this time as well.

Then it was the the time to finally walk my way back home but things don't always go to the have tway things wanted.

The text of years repeating on the way home.

So it was time for me to head out and make my way slowly to get the train back, which was fine and the crowds were dispersing, this time it was to go back the way i came in since its east side for day 1, west side for day 2. The views were the same and the getting to the hoe was still a tricky bit of shuffling around.

The views over to the Hoe

As i was walking back past the memorial, i received a whatsapp and a text, and my mind realised it was a case of deja vu coming again which for me was the case of the same old excuses and last minute emergency situations. So me being the dumb i am, i replied. There was a twist since the words
"hotel on the hoe" was in there and i was by the hoe, so it would make sense to have a more lecture irl on this. But turns out it was the Travelodge near derriford so that messed up plans and i'm not going to run home from there since if bus to tavi was missed that's one way to run home via tavi or even worse of denham bridge way. OR if the train was missed then it would have to be the saltash way or even another bus to Callington then run back home that way. So i said no and ended up blocking after saying good luck.

So it was then 10:50 and time to make my way to the train station and realising i was going back to the same trap and hopefully it was not another trap like the events of what happened in Easter this year which i've still got to type up.

The selfie by the apartments.

Which then eventually it was after 11 and time to head back on the train to get home, this time was not so much a chaotic journey, oh wait, IT WAS PACKED THAT TRAIN. It took me a good few minutes to decide what coach to get on. It left on time too that train did, 11:14.

The other train on the platform

The selfie on the packed train

Then as it was getting quieter by the time it was at bere ferrers, it was able for me to get a table seat out to end up charging the surface from the Redmi Not's 67W Hyper Orange USB Charger, But then it was eventually time to pack it away as it was passing the last bit of the crossing near albaston before i was the last one off the train to make sure it was able to not be in a rush to leave.

The Selfie when leaving

Then i was home, wel lon the hill home anyway, as it was drier compared to the day before and it felt a calm eery look as it was soon to be on a lane with no street lightning due to the timing of the midnight to 5am or 6am lights switch off. But it was a semi down end to a interesting 2 days to say the least.

The looking back towards asda and the valley in the night.

I then got home and it was time to get changed and the like before it was time to finally go to bed, after one more meal left ot eat which was some smaller leftovers compared to the day before too. But i was feeling the crashing out was coming so it felt the right time/

Many Thanks for the joining me of these 2 vlogs which was discovering new ways to film and swing a good review testing for the camera side for the Note 13 Pro which that review is canned since phone got sold before i even finished the review.

Take care and soon it will be some videos to sort out before the BIG events of OCTOBER.

A Humid Cloudy Fireworks Championships

2025-08-14T16:00:00.001+01:00

So this is another year, and while things have been hectic for me at work, it was time to sort out having the time to enjoy our day of the evening in the common vibe of it all. With work piling up and a phone catastrophe proving an opportunity to enjoy a new vlog and to sort out how the real recording tests of the Redmi Note 13 Pro. This felt short and a bit rushed since time was not on my side as much. But enjoy the vlog below:

Insert vlog here

The End of the working day and Journey to Ocean City

So it was getting humid, 5 pm was nearly approaching, and with fewer customers as the day was going. it was best of then head out which actually I had little idea of what was going to be the time of what I was to expect, but that's how Apple things go. But as it goes, it was to be expected. Which that luckily ended about 7:15 pm or so, which was a relief since I found out the next bus to Plymouth via the stagecoach app was 19:27 by Texaco, which was perfect. So I ran past childhood estates and got to the bus stop by 19:25.

The Bus stop when waiting

Then it was the case of getting on after texting a princess that I've gotten to know over the years, and feeling happy talking. I mean that, someone else checked in on m, but she was in agony, but no reply after asking why. Anyways it was eventually 5 minutes late and the bus turned up. , I paid £3 and then saw a regular customer on the bus so chatted to here about various topics like planning. The fact the local MP was at his work just up from mine on the same day that I was not in since of network visits to plan out at the very least but it was nice to talk. Also see the signs of how Roborough and the new roadworks have changed over the months since I was last there.

The Roadworks

As the bus was getting towards Derriford, it was getting heaving, since the uni students from Marjon got on. It was chaos of loads getting on from Derriford, as the shift changes for some of the staff, 2 dogs were chasing around on the path, almost ran into the road which was looking like a straight. But turns out the lead was not on them. Then the bus carried on as it was passing a bus stop, I was soon to sort out which one to take for the visit wise. Then it was passing farmfoods and the flyover which more chatter from the MP as the bus journey was going into the late teens territory of the BBQ. Which for me was not even though of at the time, especially on a day like it was a birthday from someone in my past. The bus carried on past mutley then it was time it turned right. To the road before the stop which was not really listed was the stop right outside the Railway station corner, which actually one though could be the bus to divert right to go on the drive outside the station.

The Cloudy view of the Roundabut

The first in vlog selfie on the Redmi Note 13 Pro

The Walk to the Hoe

Then it was time to get off and my journey of a rushed explore and Testing camera of all the angles and how it reacts to this pretty intensive vlog, storage will not be an issue anymore and maybe it feels time to move on from the first person view of glass once dual camera is concerned but then again some bits prove otherwise to all of this. But actually, as I got off, it was time to start the vlog and the first thing I noticed was the new first part of the Armada way strip was looking nice, the water feature was not there but still looking nice, and people were even getting tripods out from there too to have a peek.

The New Armada Way Fountain

The Display of the new plaza

The 200mp of the Plaza looking outward

Then it was time to walk my way to the hoe, but on my way first was the Bank, which was yet more cash to pay and this time it didn't go so well. It turns out not losing the card this time but ended up losing the money aka the cash deposit went unavailable. Then over £570 just disappeared pretty much, so that's yet another argument with the bank to deal with at some point in the life of me. Like it's getting to the point where accepting cash I have to really refuse now since of this going on. Luckily when the bank was contacted, they did sort out £570 of it and then

Then it was time to continue onwards for the walking to the Barbican

AS I walked there, it was passing Royal Parade which for the most part was actually very quick t get to there, but with the bus stops doing what they think with the renovations going on with them and the like. But it was reminding me of what the city has changed in over the past year and what its become now.

The Sundial

So I was walking and the plan was to go to Wingstop to finally see one. Since oars have said about it and crave it for the feeding so it was to see why. The spice is a new vibe to it and makes it feel like its a trend setting. The place was clean and gave a KFC vibe more than a nandos vibe,the freestyle drinks is one of those new types of soft drink mixing which is cool, but at the same time, Its probably too posh for it to make sense I've only used one once when I was at Slim chickens in March this year. But then it was time to pass the Barcode.

The view of Wingstop

Gecam is more darker

Then it was the walk underneath the road when being in the car park which was the bit of hot air that gushed in and it was a weird aircon feel. I passed my way then found the way out with the way to the Barbican and it was time to see how dual Video worked on this phone, which one of them did work but its at an odd resolution and e other time which I don't get that but gain this i still the first week using the phone so i'm not surprised on this part at all. But the passing of Annabels nd then to the Barbican which was starting to get packed.

Then it was time to choose what for to order, there was the going chance to get a nice snack which in my end was the crispy seaweed yet again. This was lush, So Yuns it was for £4.40 , actually the taste was ncie, the server reminded me of Knives Chaou, but she was also very quick to get it and sharp as a knife for serving so I didn't have to worry too much about your waiting time. I was ready to go by 21:16 really.

The Crispy Seaweed for £4.40

After this, it was time to find the spot I normally go to, and this was not too bad a find. There were some stairs to go down, and it was getting crowded, and this was going to be a nice, relaxing and also test to see how the built-in cameras for the Redmi Note 13 Pro work out. IT was going to be a test of frames and also how nice the quality looks, and really for the displays I was impressed. Ok 1080p 30, but still it was a good one.

The Displays:

The First one was Sonic Fireworks and it was a very off with a bang start to the displays as a whole, but this was full of colour of a set theme so it felt nice to finish have it just start.

Then it wa during this 1st break between the 2 it was to eat the Crispy Seaweed, it was so Moorish and enjoyed it, though it was dark so I could not realise how much of a mess I had made on my jeans and the like, This was then the time of saying mmpg and all which I would buy again for £4.40 for sure, maybe a summer evening dat and Yuns would work.

The selfie when it was halfway of selfie illumination

Then it was the second display and it felt a bit more or less tamer than I was hoping it to be, and really was the making sense of it all to see how it performed, and it was weaker than others. I was surprised by how it handled it. But this one was not much of a noticeable way.

Then it comes to it and it was the final gap, my tired body was not as tired as things felt and it was a bit peaceful, plus with the Note 13 the battery was holding very well. But it was nice to see how the night photos kicked in with it not taking as long as it seemed to drain.

Then it was the 3rd and Final display from BBB and it was a nicer banger to the end of the night, then it was then time to not lean in and hurt as i got the final one filmed. Not as much music to deal with on this time.

So it was time to go and make my way home. The train was 11:14 and also it was to explore the part of the fair and see how the night sky is with the Redmi Note 13 Pro. As the part of the time, it was slow on the crowds to get up to the main hoe.

The night shot as i was leaving the hoe.

As it comes to it, the crowds were full on with the leaving, the sky was cloudy yet dry and it was going to be the case of seeing how the lights and night show goes. But its feels nice to see the glows too.

Then it goes to exploring and with the glow of the rides, some new ones and familiar ones too, As i explored the fair, more stalls in the glowing and it felt nice to explore. The main fair was packed and it was amazing to feel the summer nights.;

Then it was time to see this new big wheel that was imported into the hoe which when seeing the prices for it was hectic. I decided to skip and won't be able to bother going it.

Its then time to make my way on the back path past the hotel, on the court road and then back to getting on the main path. Which on the way back will be the time to get a bottle of White grape and blackberry from Tesco which reminded me of childhood memories

The plaza as i was moving

£0.90 for the Bottle of the Water from Tesco

As i then walked my way back to the station, it felt like a nicer calm time back and seeing the night city reminded me of what i'm soon to see more often as the summer will end. But it comes to the part of all nighters and nights out.

Then i got to the station, it was not as hectic but it was still the time to get a seat was a struggle, But the station at night always works.

Then it was the journey home and it was eventually midnight. I got off the train and it was soaked on the ground, But then it was time to walk home before then getting the plat of a nie sandwich to relax and reflect on before another round of this the next day.

There we go, as the main event of the summer yearly but second to the last, its been good to do this more often and its the time to get this done which is for me to focus on.

See you soon

A Hot July Weekend

2025-07-20T17:03:00.005+01:00

So, it's the middle of summer already, anniversaries coming up, and changes all across the side of life. But with this one day of getting some time to reflect, it's the timing of actually having a day out again. Which, as much as the heatwave weekend was there, it was the right time to go, in my mind.

The Morning of

So, when it comes to it, it was an early-ish wakeup from the heat, the watch buzzing, and well, realising that the heat was getting to a lot of people, and even sleeping for me has been sticky, which is rare. But it was time to shave and make the choice of where to go. Checking the times on apps and the trip to Cornwall was hit and miss, with some delays. But in the end, I made it across and decided on Exmouth, this was after shaving and making the time to backup the phone for more footage as well. On the way, I managed to pick up some salad and bagels, which were part of my breakfast (well, not all of the bagels, as they were too hot to eat).

The Bagels and Salad

Then it was the rush for the train, which I actually got the time of 5 minutes before and tucked into one of the bagels, which then was the panic purchase of the train order, which was nice. But in the end, the conductor saw and ended up choosing the place, and Exmouth was spoken the mouth. I spent £9.75 on the journey. The train was on its way, and it was nice to finally crack down and type up an email I had to sort out for work.

The Selfie on the Train

Then it was the case of getting to Plymouth, which was not worrying about rushing at St Budeaux to get the next train for Cornwall. So instead, it was a plan to then cross the platform to go to the next stage of getting to Exeter. Which there was 2 options for this, I thought of at the time. The 11:15 train was ready to go.

The selfie waiting for the train

The train was off.

Then, it was 2 options for me to choose from to get to Exmouth.

Get off at Newton Abbot, wait and take the train to Exmouth that way
Stay on the train to Exeter and then rush to change if the train is not late

So I chose the latter option, and actually, the falling of this trap of the train now on my 3rd time. But that is life when stuck in totnes for +4 minutes longer.

Passing Dawlish

As the journey ventured

It was getting to Exeter and I realised I missed the train, so I got my way up the stairs, and some nice lady wanted me to help her carry the case up the stairs, and it reminded me of what I wanted to do. But then it was waiting on platform one for a SWR train to Exeter Central, which was getting packed, especially since it was off to Waterloo, which will be a one-day thing to do for a weekend away using https://secretfare.seatfrog.com/

Getting off at St Davids

But then it was waiting a short time, and I got off at Exeter Central. The breeze was much cooler when I got there.

The platform at Central

The wait at Central,

When it comes to it, it was actually time to explore the other footbridge, which I didn't know connected to the bridge right behind it, and it's a closer entrance to John Lewis, so I might use that way next time when exploring.

The Footbridge looking towards the station

After this, it was the case in point of just killing the killing, waiting for the train and sure enough, 2 trains later, it turned up and was heaving and packed. So I made my way there and it was actually quick to get the Exmouth, like 25 minutes at the most since by just going at 13:22 I was there.

Overlooking the Estuary by the train

So we get to Exmouth.

Then it was I who was wondering about, and then it was close to these gardens, and there was a festive and it was hard to find out where things were going for the entrance and if it was free, and passing the wrong junctions. So I ended up walking to the town centre. It was much nicer, and even with banks closing, it felt nicer than others.

Looking back towards the gardens and the American restaurant

Then I made my way back to the seafront, which actually was to enter the festival, since it was not an admission tent, but a tent to search bags, the chap was really impressed with the uv bag which was fine and then it was to explore, the fact tery hae to have a weven like that is actually shocking, up that way now.

The stage and bare grass #throughglass

Stalls and charity banners

After this, it was time to explore it and various stalls to even if you sign a climate change pledge, you get a free plan, which was fine, though it was like "oh you can make your own or choose some from the list". I passed on and made my way to the seafront. Which for me was not too bad, now I was more a few right angles and then onwards, sometimes the maps do make it confusing the best of times. So then it was time to dip my feet in at the beach and let the sand and sea water air things about which, actually, it was nice.

The Shanty on a Postbox

The Ferry interesting idea.

So while checking maps, i noticed that the ferry to starcross from Exmouth was about which the time for that was 14:40 to leave Exmouth, so I pondered then walked to pace to run to get the boat and it was a few minutes there left before departure, i paid £6 then it was time to get on the ferry and cross the mouth of the Ex estuary, it was nice though I lost a good seat from the pondering so that's on my neck being painful after it all.

Then it finally got off around 3pm, with Starcross being that calm part to look at, and trains passing, especially as the footbridge ended up going right by the station.

Then it was the time to choose to wait for a train or to run it to Dawlish Warren, but it said on Google Maps 52 minutes, which seems a lot, but then following the Cycle path, it ended up taking me 20 minutes, which was immense, and I even managed to catch up to the other train, which for me I manage to get

Memories on the wall

So it was then to get to explore Dawlish Warren, which I've not done for years, and it felt nice to go to the amusements. It was that heavenly smell of fish and chips and even slush refills for £2.50 (Cheap slush) and it was nice to walk by with the dunes near and the haze of the sun going in, which made it feel a bit more cooler and more lie the end of the day, so it was then time to think. But the amusements were fun with free 2 pennies coming up to a coin in. Then I walked out and decided to decide and ponder, which time let me so I walked my way to Dawlish, on the sea wall of legend. So, making my way on the path, passing Redrock and then to the beach.

The waves small

The sea view as I passed by

Then it was to go into the ocean one more time and it was that refreshing part, the colour was more redrock feeling but still was good on that regard to it, which then I walked by way back up to the path, since I had a Cameo to film on economic hypcrosy ehich stems from the days of lockdown 2 in November 2020 from my best memory. Then it was actually nearing 16:35 and passing the footbridge further up from the station, where I had to get a move on, even with Bell DM's me for just eating when she and her mate only woke up for breakfast about 10 minutes ago, really.

Then it was to getr on the train, since I could see it from the Redrock as I realised I had to approach it from the underpass to get into Dawlish and across the footbridge, which lucmily httere was time to get in, which the antic on the train followed next as I got on the train to Plymouth that was 16:43.

The new footbridge as the train left on the other side

AS I got on the train at Dawlish, it was finding a carriage, so in the end, I m nagged to find a seat and tghat was a table to myself, which was lucky and most of the coach K or C was green lights on it, so it made my life a calmer sweat for that side of things. But there was this girl that I saw opposite me (not on the table, but a seat behind) which had a familiar look to someone I was chatting with on Feebs and Wahstapp, like, ok sure it was also a TikTok influencer from he looks of it, but with the same shaper, blonde hair and blue eyes. But she didn't really smile too much at me, minus one, but it was soon after a speech in which many religious terms were heard, and it caught a few of the eye. Luckily you get to hear it which made some chuck, one other person oppotsite the aisle was not impressed at all to be fair most of the others chuckled, it lead to antics with the locking in the toilet for one of thje priests inside, and that girl familiar was given a larger or a thacthers ciders and she went for the cider in the end.

The Speech

Train times and a water bottle

After this, it was relatively calm and chuckling over the stag do drunken banter coming across which for me was a good evening. Since then, it came to the other part of getting off at Plymouth, which for me was lickily since the Train was right across the platform. So I got off and went to the toilet, which still had about 4 minutes free after that, so a gentle stroll to the train and then resting myself before it was going to leave.

The chin selfie

Then it was the case of a nice journey back, the train did leave like 10 minutes late since usually it lets the other train I just stepped off togoo but that could not go. It turns out a combine harvester near Dobwalls caused a bit of a blaze, and then it was time it left, and I the typing this quite calmly, like it felt nice to get the second to last train since the next day would be me getting the last train home.

The view from the train

And that vlog would then end with a nice light tea and also the time to rush a cameo through, since during the vlog I had to do that cameo, which was less than 24 hours' time and a nice way to go for a filling salad bits at the end with salmon too. Before the cameo was sorted, while in the bath, and I was tired by about 11pm.

The tea from Sunday. New Potatoes. Cranberry Raisin Bread, Salad, Garlic Dip and Salad

Monday

So I woke up to a torrential amount of rain to hear, at like 5:30am, it was horrendous, especially on TODAY of all days, I had to go to Ivybridge to see one of my customers, which was LONG overdue, but there we are. After another fap over a closeness, it was time to get up and go by 9:45am, which by the time I was changing, the rain POURED it down and was annoying, so my jacket had to put on for it. But then I left, and it was nice with the wind, but the sweat was still there, so it was heavy for sure. AS I then sorted out the passing of the horn of plenty, the chain had to slip, just on the near hill too, like FUCK. So it was for me to try to fix that, and in time I did, which put me even more behind than I wanted to be.

Eventually it goes to the point of the main visit and then by 1:30 the bike mount was ready and it was a long way to get the bike way to get to Ivybridge, wwherethe rain was about to hold off for part it. From going on the back roads passing the golf club to then going on the back roads to Walkhampton. The clouds where staritng to get busy behind but it was then getting to Dousland by the time the rain was staritng.

Then it was clearing up, but it was that hills going down, then a steep one going up wcg for tgngs which, was actually quite intense for me, and then it was a flat space before finally getting to Cadover bridge, especially since he clouds were coming over like it was a storm, which, for me was the case of the chance to pay £1.50 for a can of Vimto to then cool down before it was another mix of hills and lanes to a client.

The clouds are clear

The leaving was nice and not as many hills, the downwards was nice and Lee moor, does have more of a flat surface to the road; But then it was the case of more small lanes and eventually I got there, which was nice and the wind was getting there, but the clear sky was coming out nicer with it all. Eventually, I finished at 6:30 pm and cycled my way to Ivybridge, which was actually just as nice a small lane to go down before turning left to go to the station, which was on a Cycle path to it, which was easier. I got thewrwe and it turned out it be a half-hour wait until the train, and also with the time missing the 6pm one, it was then to go and make sure I get some time but not too much time to kill before the 9:30pm train home. So I decided to cycle to Plym.

The station in the Evening sun

The Evening cycle,

So moments like this, it felt like my childhood with cycling to Okehampton or Meldon, then back to Sourton when I was younger. But this was clear sky and from what Google maps told me, mostly off-road to get back to the bank for the next stage of paying money into (finally, since the chaos of November last year). But the route took me past the A38, literally right next to it, then across it again and in the clear blue sky, it felt really peaceful (minus the cars speeding across)

The look across the Dual carriageway

Look across it with the sun shining in the corner

Then it was getting towards Plympton and in a way it was very quiet on the roads but also it felt more like I was lost, but just sticking to the route and it eventually went to a field of walkers before a left and right then by an industrial estate which then the path lead to get to Saltram, which felt really calm and I could feel it going that bit easier and still time for me to get the things page in.

The view looking towards the moors

The sun is shining over the city

Then it was more quiet parts and we got to the City, I parked up past various fences and just nearby. Then once locked to a ring, it was time to get some bits on B&M due to the thirst quench. I was having to rush a bit more but ended up going for a Bottle of Schewps and a pack of Jelly belly lollipops for £1.90 as the total.

The view as I parked up

Looking at the empty plaza

£1.00 for Schewps and £0.90 for Jelly Belly freeze Pops

Then it was time to finally pay cash in, which held like 10 envelopes and took about 30 minutes; finally, a bulk of the money from work was paid in. Whcuh then it was 20 past, time for me to unchain the bike, then cycle my way past fences and in a maze of construction, to then get the train, which had like a few people getting on. Then it was time the train left, and then a relaxing bit of email checking up to go home with. It felt peaceful for sure, and the table seats are just amazing. Eventually, I got home by about 10:15 or so, which was the cycle up the hill before finally getting home to get things tidied up.

The red sky as the bridge was crossed

The station in the night sky

Then that quick cycle before getting home was not too tough, but it felt nice, and once I got home, changed, and it was then a nice microwave meal with added extras like the honey poppers and the like.

The leftovers from Chicken in black bean, Ham, Honey poppers, Bagel, Coronation Chicken, egg fried rice and more.

Then that was it, normal life resumed, and then it was time to catch catchup on work and life that way. Enjoy it, and even though this was typed up on my 16th Twiterversary/Xversary, it will be as it goes and hopefully, finding the time this month to finish the life of what's happened in the past 7 months.

Take care

A Reflection of 2024 (Year in review) Part 1

2025-01-29T15:55:00.001+00:00

Intro

Well, 2024 has been gone and this year has still been an aftershock of the chas and tress I’ve endured over 2023 to then repeat some of the same mistakes as well as touching wood making new friends as well and finally moving on from more time wasters to deal with and also the end of an era for part of my family too. This year also marks some anniversaries in my life I’ve overlooked which was meant to be when I overcame depression back in 2009 when trying to start Twitter and that’s now been almost abandoned in terms of posting and actually from realising, things maybe I'm more depressed now than I was back then, or mentally it's just felt worse I have no idea. But also it’s the anniversary of when I started making music videos for the end of the year. Hopefully, this one will be below when time lets me make it.

Now we begin the diary summary of each month with some hidden content and missing bits which gossip feels new. But Let's begin.

The Years

January,

So it had always been that quiet month but this year was to start of a VERY different year, with now a kid over a few months old in the family and also the passing of both my grandad and soon burying my nan, it was going to be a future of less routine and family togetherness, even with events like Dominos to play with, but more of time to start of my future to sort out and get things semi replace, and it was a gap from not having a scammer to be harassing me so far yet on that time of things. Which work was going to be the routine to sort out.

In its way, it was also time to knuckle down and get accounts sorted since of the 3 weeks left to get over a year sorted and Bokio the app was ending that month it was a lot to process, which I’m even unsure on this far how I managed it. But it was the end of working in the shop for a bit to catch up on overdue accounting.

The Notice to say its closed for days

The Selfie on the way home

Then a salad and ham with extras like roast potatoes

Even between times its going to check the time of getting other chores sorted which ones of time to get shopping done and with the ginsters slices. Which the pies will be part of it later on too.

But this is where the hit the fan of people were STILL nagging me to sort out visits which were going to Have its impact. The funeral was on Monday if I remember correctly but that in itself was not going to be easy and customers were still calling when the phone line was going to be crazy and I know it was also when the agent for the shop (Landlord) was pressuring to sort out renewal of the lease which I know even on the day of the funeral I had to use data to send an email out to after it which is what it was.

The wreaths on the funeral

Then it came to the funeral itself which was not too bad and even I managed to keep calm when I did my eulogy speech for the family of me and my sister and the childhood memories we shared across. But it then realised to be the point of the wake on how the air was clean, the sunset was nice and felt like a nice send-off, albeit I was FUCKING FUMING AT A SUPPLIER that was calling me back when I said not to call me back on that time, even to this day the money paid to them I’ve not even sorted out yet in terms of one person wanted one particular router which did not help on the pressure.

The selfie in the end

What then led to the caining to catch up on things, since accounts were the key to sorting before the deadline but even then was a scan and paperwork form of a nightmare but bokio was sorting out what would have been easier which was using an old cart payment system, even god knows what will happen when it comes into the plan of how I sort that out for the 2025 one.

The toasted sandwiches and smoothies

Rosie growling as normal

Bills and selfies

During this time of having to still do save visits and wait for stock in the shop on a couple of the days. This i've seen with also getting time for dogwalking on Saturday. It was also to get some recordings done of the old family takes using the script to HDMI adapters and those were not as good quality as I originally hoped, the switch made it a bit tricky to get them to sync up on picture but it was nice at points going from old memories which were at the places now gone in memory like Dobwallls, Shire (Now camel creek) and even Dinham farm when it was catching on some parts of life. But that was until 1 am sometimes but thank OBs for actually working with the Prevo Streaming kit which is more than worth it for when I got it that many years ago.

Soon the accounts were learning and still time off was a long way to be seen. Which also it was soon time to try new things out as this was my last year on the railcard part of me was excited to find time to but looking back it never happened as usual, it always goes back to the same mistakes with different people and it never eases off on the work life.

But part of me was starting to use Netflix a lot more this year and the cartoons from ones I never got a chance to see were what I got to see, heck I remember having to get the chance to watch Fairly Odd Parents in the final 2 weeks of January while sorting out accounts and organising the paperwork. But it was the time of darker nights for the next few months still even as it was very slightly pulling it lighter. The makes were nicer and some flavours I can't remember but it was the time Iceland food was going to be more popular in my daily life too.

As it goes with flirting, the same usual shit happened and it was getting good to have videos calls on snapchat with G even though it was her in a relationship with someone else and time was going to have us ghost and disconnect from each other so it was not boing anyway, This was also the time that a Hinge Match called Katie was coming into the final parts, heck though the conversation flow was not really there and it was soon to not really finish and just end with walking away by the end of January. Well by walking away its more just no reply on both sides. This was strage of how 2 numbers of the same person or acting like sisters which was a red flag to begin with.

But we carry on with when this comes about since also paperwork for the shop had to be sone with rent renewal, like the agent literally emailed me asking to confirm contract on the day of a funeral, i mean sure i had data but don't be serious on how bad that actually is with the timings.

Which that send of which was even with more legal and paperwork to sort which was having to rush back after the buffet of food to take back with us before it was more time to settle down and carry on with like as normal. But after this was the crunch time and due to visits before and other shop demand causing me to have to close 1 week later to finally catch up.

But as the days past, videos recorded and aso mini visits where getting crammed in and it was must me to finally get my wa around that time and finish the tax, since February was going to be a busy month, even with my mind thinking of someone sle from my past and eventually i lean a love waa a permanent moving away.

Which then it was the last weekend, me and Rosie's first train trip together, which was due to parents staying over and i just got the accountsd sorted like 3 days before and submitted and paid,. which in itself was lucky i got this to happen due to have busy life would feel from the month ahead onwards.

It felt like a nice calm way to end it and also making use of the final year of the railcard which was one of the mini goals in my end to be able to do a proper week or weekend away which looking back was never gonna happen ion the first place. I kid myself. I really kid myself. Then it was time to move on to the Next month which was supposed to feel easier and a nie start. but it was just more of the same going to occur. This is more of the final days Though a Jump lad was nagging me on messages,

February.

So this was going to be the catch up and boy time off was going to really hard here, plus more circumstances meant the bike was going to be away for a fairly long time which was just adding to more frustration of getting travelling bits. But it starts of with more running back home from work with the start of catching up on work. The superbowl was the first weekend in febo sop it was American deals in lidl to start off going with.

Selfies on the way home in full time working

To the first time of going to trago mills which ended up about a few times in 2024, more than going to other places as well. Which its nice to change things up and will be the first time of a tango ice blast in this year, nearly 2 years since i had my last one.

This was also time to make sure to find the time to purchase the passport since it was going to be needed for the future its been just nearly 2 years since mine expired. The best thing of the camera on phones are much better now and £95 isn't too bad in 10 year costs. But with how things to be, normal life and work was going to happen, work was going to be longer days. This was going to be the chance to chat to another feeb continuing from last year. Plus a new cutie on the scene and even another that we had a call on discord which was my only ever call i've had on there in a one to one basis. But with another girl in the end, she got famous into a model on curvage ish and enjoyed life, ballooned up, i mean i never fed her even when chatting in January, tbh so that's on me to be regretting it.

As time was going on, it was also getting down to the same uaul of working with other escapades and the building of the bonds was not really going as much, ok sure a princess i did get chance to message with some intrusting extreme goals and months later it doesn't go like that at all which is a shame but that's more coming into it later. But that was between the catchup of working after those 3 weeks to turn off work to sort out accounts.

More Toasted Sandwiches

Ham and onion rings are a nice combo

More mixes with even adding leftover soup to go with the Rice.

It was soon to become another time of Pancake day as time comes to it which was a rushed vlog of pancakes after a microwaved meal, which is common yet boring. but works too, especially after a long day which was another run or cycle home.

A Pancake with Chicken Tikka Masala

The second and 3rd pancake

That wrapping selfie

Ending the vlog

This was also the time of the inbetween things which time was going to fuck me up with the time of irony, since it was going to be the time the bike finally went with the chain, Which that was going to me more stress to cause and in that lucky period of not feeding, its saving for emergencies like this. But its also more bus trips when your the only person on the bus and even tacos to enjoy for a change. Especially as Valentines was nothing at all this year, i mean compared to a virtual date 2 years ago which never actually happened and months later to find out she wants me back....ish. It was just the consequences of moving going to repeat itself.

More selfies in the dark

Which then it comes to the finding out with a trip into the city. This then leads to getting it in but turns out tit was going to be a queue for parts and was meant to be up to a week, Turns out this was going to be LONGER by far and awkward, like a retailer asking you to get the parts then deliver it to them to do the work, if it was like a smaller shop i get that but a fucking Chained owned by the frasers groups is a kidding joke. But that means to order new bike again and also it was nice to get into the ginsters slices as my work journeys were going to be bigger and longer for my body to cope with. So it was in for repair and life continues.

As the time progresses, it was time to conflict with other changes such as it was very close to finally exchanging numbers with a new person, especially after the messaging was ok but when they ask for whatsapp it does mean things get serious, well actually looking back now, it doesn't but it does not mean ghosting until months later as i was going to find out in October.

But in this it was also the time where clothes were getting tighter from the lack of moving from the first part of the year. Which eventually it was meaning jeans will rip. But appetites from the distance is very common yet ravenous. Especially as it was coming up to the 1st real takeaway of the year in terms of chinese. But the slices were soon to come to an end.

But then it was going to be more and it was the introduction of the Surface Go 2 into my life which was ona a decent deal for just over £140 without the keyboard, It changed my life and has made a lot of work bits easier and also even some bits of the train journeys I have this year that little bit easier. Especially a the nights were coming out so it was more to finally get time to go home without it feeling pitch black. But a new contract or setup was on the case which was going to mean some longer days and nights and asking for some help on things.

Network installations is one of my weak points and it will cause me a lot of stress further on in the months to come. Plus tidying up is an ongoing thing. Since even there was something about doors and it was coming ot the time where sign was not allow to be there anymore so it was finally best to not bother with a sign.

Then it was the end of the month, with more things to explore and catching up todo and the past being to repeat itself, it was time to move into march.

March

Well this month has been more of the same but it was time to explore things with have with family and it was going to be ok. We start of with some herbal remedy tablets a customer gave me which did not have any effect on me to be fair so not much.

Some magic tablets

The sky turning blue at night

But this time was a day out for the Barbican and finding out about the pish and i meah nearly £80 for 3 people to have fish and chips at Rockfish is there. Ok Sure i had calamari which was actually a starter item. But it was nice with more train trips to places in the months ahead it was good to finally get a weekend off, since Sundays were going to soon be hard to find time for me.

But in the end as spring was to be, it was wanting to make me want to get time to go travelling and to be honest it was also finding out the news that the Bike was going to be longer for repair. But it was then it was back to the drawing board of work and it was soon time of the daily routines to come in with the Amazfit Bip S on the way out Which was time to find the replacement to go for it.

But with this and mothers day coming up, it wa time to finally replace it. Which the Amazfit GTS 4 Mini was the plan to use that for the new year of distances to make which i was going to be doing quite alot of them. So for a £85 option, it was time to upgrade since supplier had it in stock. Also a mothers day gift of some places was a nice turnout too.

But then it was coming work was about the same which it was time to find out a truth with a sunday morning to work. I got to visit a client which actually was just a windows 11 upgrade but once that was done, i got a text. The past comes back and it has to be the same old, bear in mind this for later as this comes back with a REAL VENGANCE of lies and trickery in the summer. But this was then report as spam since i'm not dealing with it right now or back then.

The excuses come in

Which after this was a another trip to trago since it was coming in for a family outing and also with the discount they did at the time, it was going to be useful, My idea was to another Festival trolley which took months later to find. But the Roasts are nice there.

The Roast from the

Even after shopping and seeing customers, it felt night and nice to enjoy and mt first and only Tango ice blast this year it was too.

The Angle finger roll and the Tango Ice blast

Which life semi resumed for me as nothing changes and nothing much to look forward too. Ok sure i got a whatsapp from a cutie that had supersized goals but found out it was never going to happen. Scottish dreams come and go with later on it was the kay of video calls when she went shopping in tesco that never came to fruition but her life was changing. Along with a crush form years ago who lived out her dream, sure got married but at least there is some friendship in there

Plus getting the bike back next week which was a relief for like 1 month without it and even Evans asking me to order the chain somewhere else is a pisstake tbh, local shops i get that and I've had to do that to some customers recently but for a big chain, that's not happening. But it was also Japanese week in Lidl which means its more tastes like a cherry lemonade too.

As spring comes into form, it was cameos and also plans to do things

But then it was soon time, since it was the time to finally collect the bike and take a trip, a cycle to Padstow via the train. Like this was the full camel trail and it was good. It was an experience and a shame I didnt get chance to play crazy golf when i got there the WEEK BEFORE EASTER when they OPEN.

Especially as it comes to me to sort things out which makes it easier for me to get to test the bike, especially as months would teach me that Chains go after 6 months on electric bikes. But it was a bumpy start and still not very warm in the journey there from the windy distance. Plus the poundland shop had a good bargain.

Leaving for the train

But once Bike was collected, it was a cycle back to the station and managed to get on the train being 30 minutes later and bungees are really useful for the bike lockers on the IET. But the 36 minute rest was well worthy it for getting, which for me was that little reprieve.

But then it wa from bodmin the weather looked better then it was a tinder match walking by before time to cycle to padstow. Which i was getting to partially feel lost and even customers call me up on the Sunday.

But it was the camel trail to whizz to Wadebridge which was to semi zoom by, with memoires of family holidays and now empty places and shops past. It was quite quick to get through here really, which this was my first time from end to end of the town via the Camel trail.

Wadebridge with the empty places

Which then it was the zooming past on the busy trail which this year was no exception to how it was busier, even on the week before the easter holidays were kicking in. And a short explore of the town for the vlog which reflecting on the past is going to be important. Sure trips like this might never happen with someone special in terms of camel trail but other ways to explore if i get my dream girl. But alas it was a nice semi 1 hour of killing time.

Which the journey ends with the cycle back to push the battery and at some points was going over 40mph on that trail, when it was not bumpy. Getting lost in Bodmin was semi not fun, made me wish i had Glass with maps and passing estates that don't make sense. But i did push the bike too far when dragging it up a footbridge too, That made the bike lock holder fall off which is shame.

Which then its a quiet journey back, well minus having to do a wheelie to get to the carriage to gwt off at saltash and then cycle back to St Budeaux to get the train back since of the missing connection would have happened else that would have been a long ride home as month later would make me realise this.

Which then it was time to catch up and go back to the working which was finding the time to edit this, which was much later on. But it was back to the final few days of the month, easter was coming up and more times . Also this was the time that alloli was popular from a Tummy T that suggested it and got hooked ever since, Shame only morrisons.

As it was the final weekend in march, the sun was out and spring was tarting to sprung, so sunday was soon to half ever time of my hands foring out and things. Plus hormones were wild when seeing the cutie eat kfc a few days ago from that time.

The bacon sarnie with a frozen fruit smoothie

But it was trying to fit timings all in and socials were going to be a complete mess who the time i was needing the time to unload what's been going on in in the 4th month. Since maybe things to prepare was going to happen.

April

Right, So its coming to the spring season. It was easter coming in which means it will be the work fest of things to being able to manage what was to pass. To be honest its feeling a missing part of life and catching up. Like its was still chats with that girl and also its been the passing of customers to sort out which was one passing away soon after visited them which is a big shock to it.

So we have more plan of what we do best, work. I was going to the case of having to still clearing out bits from nans place which was still on the market. Since it was also being to the point of visits nearby and Bere alston will soon be a memory. But more selfies to occur with the weather too.

But it was going to be that time of more filler and final to get the time done. I mean its that filler and getting the time to get videos sorted in between. Like it was nice to finally make a tutorial video on cooking brownies.

Salami Sandwiches

Setting up the video for the tutorial

From this as well it was going to see my regular customers in hospital since he was recovering form things happening which this was to come to an end in the months to come. But Eventually there was more than just neighbour favours and it was nice to pick up some goods from various places too.

Asda had some more deals

But it was actually getting to be the chance to go to looe which was nice, a Family drie out there to be fair compared to the train but still this bonding was going to few sundays and its nice to finally sort things out and reflect on my mind a bit more too. Since it was also finding out the UGREEN plus was going faulty which was a suprise months later when I found out the truth with it being the socket.

The UGREEN

But then it was coming to the mid of april and as more visits were happening and finding the in-between times to get things sorted. Hinge was not looking as much on matches and Ok there was this one girl that's actually incredible and crushing on every so often but things move on with her own life which might be moving forward might never have the chance to be. Another girl from wales who actually took the piss out of me years ago was nicer to talk to but she got engaged months later so its hard to really talk to her now.

But times were carrying on with Rainbows showing more this year than i expected. It was feeling like the time was grasping away and also with Epson having the fun times of printers that seem to work but done when it comes to the long run, The Tuesdays was the routine of working on the bike due to parents babysitting Sister's kid. It made the routines more familiar and helped with alot of client easing. But B&M trips were a highlight for the time of the PEanut butter and also this salt and pepper seasoning was so fucking tasty and was also going to cause me to get some soreness in the down below.

More lighter selfies on the way home

Salad and airfried mixed were coming more common this year

But it was then soon to be another weekend ending after Bike cleaning and trago once again.

Sausage rolls and more light meals for lunch start to happen when its late april onwards

Which in this case was for filming yet another cameo and also to finally get some money paid in to the bank which has been time since november when i had last item to pay in money Which means a nice first trip to Launceston by bike after a visit to a customer semi nearby on the old a30. It took gut with bank to argue with about trying to pay money in, Then some nice weather along with a sweaty backroad trip before the A388 to risk it on the end of the day but it got there in the end.

Directions are always wind-ey

But it passes the a30 so i do not die

As time passes, there were deals to be had and the nights getting lighter again, which the Iberia season in lidl was really enticing with a lovely Sweet onion Mayo and the start of the ruining of my life from Lidl Mister Choc Biscuit spread, for the £1.99 which has stayed consistence of this year, its like crack as one person told me, even my mum loves it. More chats with WhatsApp's and i was feeling like BBQ season was also going to be upon us with heatwave talks.

The mix of things of the chinese sauce powder is really good.

But then it was the final weekend of April and getting very close with finally catching up on the videos over the start of the year. Even that was a relaxing quick dog walk before the caining for video editing and also more visits to come out, But minus eater chocolate going on sale, life was on the catching up.

The drama is a few months away which stories open and still do not get finished even as i type this up.

May

Well the 5th month and things are feeling hat limbo but also the time to finally catch up on, since with no things this year like Jubilees to worry about, it was the nice tio pickup where things left off and finally get the time to sort out various things like heck even editing some of the videos and vlogs filmed even from march. The amazfit GTS 4 mini was taking a lot of time, especially of filming exercises every day of that week too. With the summer fee;liongsd coming in, its also the start top enjoy the fun of wraps and more salad stuff instead of heartwarming comfort foods, though sometimes it was there still.

The wraps with the breaded chicken that always has a nice cruncy to it, plus the katsu mayo as well;

But it starts with visiting people for the may bank holiday weekend, i mean work wise, which the bank holiday means nothing since I ended up going to one of the regular customers in lydford so less time for me to catch up on that side of things. The monday was a very hectic day of picking things up to go to horrabridge and phone line issues, which was around the rumours of when the Rats bitten off fibre cables to the horrabridge e change but it was also another rumour that airband damaged the cable near the horrabridge exchange which causes a fair cut-out for people, this was the time i did get a email from a EE rep who i needed to actually use to ask for help on things but she NEVER replied in the future. This was also time to get some of the shopping done on the way home.

More selfies #dogwalking in the dusk

Another one with Rosie by the wind Turbine

More salad shopping bits from the Lidl Plus weekly deals and Popcorn was going to be on the deals for my end at least 4 times in 2024.

As another wifi part sometimes into place, it was nice that i got to finally make my way of a lopping look to get home while it was not down for the count of early or darker nights for a few months to come.

A selfie on the brentor way back home from Mary Tavy

But then it was time I had to rush back to a visit i did on monday since something came up and it was actually back to the 2 hour run to get home from horrabridge, like its one of those times where using the legs is just important t better to go for it than to rush around, even with the £2 for a single bus making it affordable to travel, now 2025 will be the start of the 3 quid single so taking these routes i feel it should have happened. But the weather was on my side for that distance home and the shoes getting there were pretty comfy so in its own right it was still good tro know the distance is the way to train for when it has to happen with my legs being the only way home as months later would be the finding out.

The selfie on Gem Bridge

The greenery in the warm late spring

But then it was time to finish off the final piece of the puzzle of the video editing with the final vlogs being sorted before June which life will start to change. But the habits of the selfies on the way home and cleaning the bike are about the same, this was just the habits, since it was working the usual overtime too. But walking to Cotehele while thew Watcher on netflix was being filmed. Plus thuis was the time the news had the gas explosion of someone in a caravan near home making some actual bombs,

A Dark selfie

Croissants and pretzels on the cycle home

But as it leads, its back to another journey top go from Launceston home and via the a388 again but this time was going to be a cameo to film on the back roads and lanes which was a nice view but at the same time was also the weather getting a bit better as dusk was

But as it comes out, the 2nd chinese of the year was approaching. Since its getting rare of the big cuisines for this year or any of the years, Like even though I had subway once this year so far, its still a few and far between way. Which there was hoping to be chances for having fast food with girls which learning the hard way of it will never happen.

The chinese takeout

The toasted sandwich for the breakfast as usual/

More lamb shank and runner beans

The field in the afternoon

The sausage roll and sweet chilli for tea

But that then leads to getting the stage of some chats were starting to go through which hopefully the chance of locals to get something but matches on Tinder and Hinge were getting low but there was one more match or so here and there, WooPlus at the time had something but more accounts that tend to not really exists, then again one local girl on there was actually legit local when searching on facebook since its doing that method can sometimes learn the truth if its going to be real and I really wish i did that more, especially in the months to come as well. Especially as this month no images in whatsapp at all that month.

But as work and time move on, it was then soon time to have more home made curries and another part, which time just feels like it was flying by and also more mondays off were hopefully a plan to finally catch up on things, well that and thew start of eating more bread based things this year was a vibe as well, especially from stocking it up from the community fridge. That and more filming camoes on the way home was a easier form of money ish.

And a selfie on a path

But then it was the final weekend, mist and 9pm was finally getting to dusk which feels good on how the nights get spread out to the furthest part of time, meaning If i get home in the dark now, theni know its REALLY LATE (Well until August for sure). But soon it was time to jump into the month to finally explore things and also where flirting was going to be a key part.

More mixed combos in the evening

Another selfie on a dark lane

More running up hill selfies

So then it leads to June which things start to show themselves and hopefully it improves the key on plans.

June:

so this month is really how things develop and the first day of June was the most stateful with having to sort out a customer which involved cycling back and forth with cables and completely disrupting the flow of the saturday in the heat. Which that causes me some stress but it works out in the end. But in the end it was the time of the steam fair too. But that was all done and it was time for a weekend to take it easy with a dog walking before it as time to deal with the Monday. This was the first experience of using a EAP110 outdoor for an outside range extender which is why the surface go 2 becomes a useful work expense and not just a tablet to type things when typing up on trains which later would be the case. But the journey was a nice £8 and gives me a test on how to expect to use the train to exeter and back home again, since months would be using this for a holiday.

Getting to the train

A Selfie on the seat

But then it was actually deciding to if i get off the train or not to explore but low and behold, it was actually a very quick rush since I only got there about 5pm and then 20 past was the next train , this was also the time I had a customer on his bike sitting opposite me and we chatted about a few things before I got off at the same stop as him. But that left it to the same way home and the sky cloudy but not dark.

The Selfie back at Plymouth

Looking back at the platform

More views of the tamar

Which that was a success and can prove things might work for the future which for me was to be happening earlier than i expected and also in the way of the plans since this month. But that vlog was an end to a first day.

The nice bit of fish and chips for the monday meal

But as time was going to fly by, the nights getting lighter and the time of the house and more distances home ensured but it was to be the time of going that extra distance for more visits in the summer. Since that week was more running in the way and to be going to places that remind me of many years ago with old friends and mentors in my life. But it was soon time to catch up and it leads into the frey of the summer coming out of this.

The selfie on the way home

More ice and prawn crackers too

But its then coming back of another sunday across which soon it was time to enjoy a new feature, turns out there was a discord which ended up being a reference of CTR online . So finally getting the time to finally play that instead of getting work done will be a regret but the online sideo f that was worth the fun

The selfie when walking Rolsie

Which with CTR it feels much easier to sort out but duckstation can make it work nicely and overtime the things changes that its going to be. But this was the time of some downtime, with the chance to be able to sort out what to do. Since it was weeks away before the big trip of my year so far. But more distances ensured and some messages on sites were coming in, especially a goddess that was of nature ended up blocking me at this point like always something of a type too good to be true. But in lfie with more chats with some lovely princesses and also whatsapp, it was a nice mix but sadly the distance is always the way of the issue with relationships on my end.

More light bites and wraps

More selfies by gates

But this was come to a time to finally enjoy a review to finally get fapping easier and makes my life a Bit less of a strain on the arms in bed. With the UGREEN Tablet holder.

But it was not to last as long as it seems since it only lasted for about 5 months before it lost its grip which was going to be a pain in the neck. The weight of the devices does cause to strain more than i though, but will cable to sort it is to find out. But time went on and more chats with Just eat to be offered to help push a feeling the struggle that tummy issues were causing back then. Plus it was the season to try to want to do food shopping dates but that never went through ,even with as peach on a call plan idea but that's my luck of life.

Instead fairy cakes to freeze and more curries to go with the mild summer plus a aretherd day binocular gift that ends up coming quite in handy in the months to come of july.

As the final week before the big time comes, it was nice to enjoy some more bits of relaxing time to myself before a big time of my choosing. But this also leads to visit B&M again after a customer nearby which actually was the time of the moorish taste of Toxic Waste Freeze pops which B&M had a fair bit of range and eventually goes on for a good clearance price, with the luish of the instant chicken mash potatoes , plus the reduced version of that TEd Shereen Ketchup was there too. I was astounded at the nice taste of the j20 Mocktail cans though, I really should have bulked buy those cans. Thought the burger sauce is a incredible taste on its own..

The cans of drink and the burger sauce, for like £5

More bargains in B&M from Reeva pots to even the Vimto drinks

Then an apple grape snacks for lunch in work another day

But time goes o n and as the sun comes out which means its got to be that casm of longer days which the time makes it feel nice which even though it was not going to b a holiday this year from what ended up happening, it was still the case of actually seeing the warm summer food and drinks out making things a bit tastier and also feels more of a relaxed spirit in me. Even with it being alone and also the case of tasks to sort out being overdue too. But this was due in part of the signs of the election brewing so people did have some tension's in the mind. Even with a very long day of 3 visits after work in far distant places from work or home.

The meals as the reward

More lidl shopping which actually was the next lot of the fave cans of lemonade

More selfies on the road home

The moors with the added signs for elections

But in the end it was going to get a turn of change which is right before the big time, like i wonder for sure if it was the timing or if it was the face i had some time to go back to places i use to be which actually felt like it was a long time ago. Especially walking in a field years ago.

The sights of the field i use to walk in years ago

More food and curries after work

But by this point it was time to go to the big day of the first train trip on a full day by myself which sounds boring but IKEA was a goal to go to and i finally did it.

This was the fun part, with exploring and using the railcard in its final months. So this was a great way to finally explore the new trends years later.

Getting to IKEA

Being in there is a surreal experience which as places go, its a new way of shopping with the modern showroom aesthetic to give the vibe of that modern living could be like for some and this concept, which for me gives.

The sign at the top

Which exploring things like kitchen ideas, which some of that makes it easier to plan out how waking up in the sign of it, like sure there is a chance it will never happen and some of the scapes like the balcony makes it look amazing but its also got situations of other vibes. Its nice to be that choice aspect to see where those inspiration will take you. My favourite watch the kitchen with the faux balcony which if i was in a modern ish apartment would be a style of choice. But passing things on and moving was the next stage to sort out.

The frames

Looking back towards

As the floors go lower, the more of the showroom feel turns into a warehouse feel of it, which then its where the inspirations are picked up to be collected and then bulk and around which for itself was time to learn what the choices that were going to be and it was nice to finally check out what was available to be. I eventually sorted out getting my first time to sort out what to buy and some of the deal from the cable that glows up.

The View of the warehouse at the last bit

The bits that show up

Bjt in the end it was time to fully get the time to go back to the city. Which i was going to realise more of how much i'll be preferring exeter to plymouth which is nice and there was that time of going to be visiting people much more since it was this girl that actually chatting on f and insta for a while that was a uni student but she went the online only option so the fire burned out pretty quickly to be fair, since after this is was then September i was next talking to her. But soon it was going to be the case of a new part of my life which actually was going to change it all. That's and the discover of placing lists for maps and dates.

Plugs while charging is a useful trick

But this was also the time where too good to go was and its still the best deal i got in the end even with the stress of ordering later than planned which hopefully was to make more of orders from there but sadly this year was not much of the app at all. But its ideal for train journeys as i wanted to but this was the only time tor discover it.

The too good to go bundle

Typing up and trains

But that leads to the big event of the month done and it was time to face reality. Which sure was able to manage things but it was also the time to explore more cravings such as the jacobs chive crackers and the return of the Reve mash potato pots still. But it was also soon time to catch up on the most favourite craving of the tummy of the Lidl Lemon sorbet, which is intense an so good for floats of lemon floats. Plus popcorn was the best way forward with the deals on the app.

But as the final days of June comesi it feels a bit of time but it comes into its part of its time to check as the big month of my life with an anniversary coming up which plans to get more coriander to drink as well as more dog walking is to come, since the next day was going to be another chore of money to pay in on the july time. This was also the time a new favour of the start comes to me.

July:

So this start to the anniversary month starts and it was also the choice if the carnival was worth doing this time, especially as now the change is going to be the start of a local chance with a girl from the Yeovil area which later i would find out maybe a bit closer. This was going to the be the story of if it would work out and what i forgot about. But wqe start with the errand of money to pay in and getting to shop in Exeter yet again..

This was nice to finally get some part of the distance to see how long it would actually take to rush to exeter, which this was the last time of going to exeter via bike from working. But it was nice to see how the trail goes, last time i did this route was in a heat wave and there was a scammer wanting to meet me but was always flaky and a friend of mine has been harassed by her so many times in years before. Instead we make our way.

But then it was the way to get money paid in to kill like 20 minute before it was time to get the train over there. This is stil lthe benefit of the railcard discount which was like 4 months way from los9ing it and to save up to get the local one for the future which would still become useful. But Paypal for saving the day of the daly of direct debit due to the support from the person seing in yeovil meant didnt plan that far ahead for that day. But on the train and eventually to get into Exeter St Davids by 4:05 or so. To then going up the hill to get to the City in a few minutes after,

Going near central #throughglass

But then it was the hour and a bit to get money paid in and the ATM =in the works bank was being a pain so it was a long run to the top of the city to get to the post office in morrison to get a fair bit of money paid in since which was the 2nd time to pay money in this year, properly was about 4 times of cash paid into work. But then it was time to make my way back to Central where i parked off and the train home, Plus slush puppie for £1 is nice too

The wait for the train #through glass

The awkward parking upwards of the bike

But then it was another way home and a small wait for the swapping which is still good, In the end it is what it is and its getting to the fun part of what it would be coming up, since it was also new plans for having to take a intern on due to some demand of work getting 9intopese as the summer approaches, which if thats happens it means its the chance of getting accounts sorted was going to be fucked yet again and heck even means it will be the time of not getting this review of the year done too. But this weeke was another wet one since of the changes in store with the election only days away, the majority knew where it was going to go from there and it was a new change on, from blue to red in areas even with some places never changing as time goes on. Especially as i ran home that night to vote.

The time goes and more salad and lite bites

The selfie after voting

The coco pops with the tiger bread

As that election loomed and we knew where it was going to be red, there was going to be a new divided sense in the air and life for me will feel the same but in the future the air changes, But it was also time of visits that were not going to be as long which feels. different., Plus it was also the time of the week of the carnival in some time, since from last year the schedule started to really change a bit of tactic. But it was a calmer inbetween and still bonding from the somerset spoiling. The weather goes the same as summer usually does, but the part where it was a cooling summer to happen.

More selfies waiting for the bus

Sunday smoothie breakfasts

This was also the morning when one girl that sort of gets snobby was sexting me but then suddenly just cuts off to the point comments get deleted, like seriously, but that and not actually changing in terms of figure when your into it more than others seem to think, but asking to exchange numbers tends for that to happen which can make it more of the mark of hypocriticalness.

More selfies on the choices for ideas of where to go

The air fried food was getting more common

This was the time of the year which was soon to be Carnival after, But as more work continued and it was also soon to the point i had to deal with more mishaps which by this point the phone was having to fail on me last minute So this was from the sleeping in the bath which gets to happen a lot of the time and it will probably affect me in the years to come. But more distances will be here to catch up with.

More cereal and beans

But then it was coming up to the carnival, since it was the sunday its not worth my time to go back to Tavi anymore and it was on the end of the 15th Twitterversary which was a long day, like it was surreal on how time flies by on how this was 15th years since starting to cure my depression and turns out its actually getting worse than ever which time was getting to show its true form in the months to come.

This weekend was to relax since it was also the anniversary since my grandad passed so there were more tensions being high, since it was feeling time of pasting and also it was just that numb style of work which adjust feeling that tense moment of and it was soon going to e the scary motion of finally exchanging numbers from the girl in somerset who got back to me like 2 weeks of no reply which this habit was just the start and would affect me badly in the months ahead.

This was the start of the wet july for the next few days and then it leads to more running before it was time to myself to sort out and catch up from the previous months. Plus the food from the fridge was very useful for end of day snacks and even the time to use the canal for getting home more. Especially as it was nice to chat to a welsh girl that actually use to take the miss but a bit of chatting showed the maturity of how things were which then we went to snap until months later got engaged a few months after we started chatting on snap.

As the final week with parents before they go on holiday, which for me was the time of the make own meals in the air, this time to myself was going to be trying to be productive, Plus it was during the summer games and it was just the start of this fun year. With August coming up and the Olympic games too, it was a intriguing combination plus with more visits to customers houses coming up. Since that then comes to a bit of parts and it was the time of finally to see what was going on. So we move on to the next month minus more fod that really gets filling.

This is where the final days was the time of having a leftover chinese takeout Since it goes to that level of hard parts to find the truth.

August:

So we start this with the month is now coming of how things being different and its the best start to enjoy it with another shopping in lidl and that in itself has the fun of getting american week in Lidl yet again, Which was needed for the food to handle while it was me looking after the house and Rosie too. Which was going to involve walking her before work.

Another selfie in the dusk on the way home

But then it was soon time to plan out what I wanted to do, with an other tasks but the first one was to finally get the door painted Which was a good start and a nice test of tiring Rosie out with a long day ahead.

The journey was a nice walk but takes twice as long as the runs to work normally are that time. But its nice to pick things up from the fridge.

But as time fasten up, it was going up to the backroads and then to the lanes to go which was eventually

Bur then it was time to get things done when arriving, like the time of making sure the paint was ready and it was time to get that much more done which the door to take out was tricky but manage to lift it on my own, Rosie was easier to sit since she crashed out and slept outside while i was brushing the stromes of the doors.

The door being painted

But eventually it leads it to what it should be and the painting was done, so it was the time of how things go. So it was time to to walk Rosie bac when time goes and using the canal path was the best way to go back since it was nearing the 4pm mark so time of walking her back would make it near the 6pm mark.

But It finally leads to finally getting home and being able to unpack and the chores to be done like tomatoes to pick.

More air fried food

But then its time to casual calm down with work and chores and then tea after, Rosie was snarling and barking in the kitchen each time so it was having to eat in different rooms. Since that was the issue with dog sitting. But it was then to catch up with work as normal. Which involves luckily shorter visits so that means some times to walk Rosie which in the summer is still day light and over the weeks to come the darkness will start to set in. Plus it was nice to catch up with a friend i had videos call with in 2022, she's STILL the last person I've had video calls with i will not lie, well non work related ones.

Especially as more visits are to come to the regulars which even when tough moments in my life, so this was nice and even on this point it was going to be seeing Hares in the play park which was a nice change.

More selfies with Rosie

This looks like it could be the time of when parents were finally on the way back, with that ease in the air and the time of the holiday period fore me was left off, which it was only 1 week since the big attack in southport which the riots were coming to it, which even that was asa local as plymouth, My life might have changed if that did not happen. Since the riots were getting out of control further up but even as far down as here the affects the jist of things and it was that slumber time, since its getting close to big choices and it was soon to come with that. Especially as it was the continuing process of interns at work yet again. But it was also the weather being peak summer and lidl shops on the way home too after visits. I mean its always extras to buy and even the burgers purchased here are STILL in freezer by the end of the year too. Maybe it might last long enough to be a pancake day video again.

The selfie as i was going to turn left

The lidl shop

Which then it was back to more Mary Tavy shennagings for the weekend before having that one day off to recover and catch up on the past which for me was just mostly more toasted sandwiches in the mornings along with the walk around the village before coming home. This might become a recurring theme as the days go on and also by this time ghosting still continued with someone that was going to cause an impact in life. But we continue on and it was soon to be this week of fun times with the weather changing just as it typically does around the time of the Fireworks. Normal life does resume for like 2 days.

The toasted sandwich for sunday breakfast.

More selfies on the Tuesday way home with Rainbows.

And then it comes to the big event of this month, The fireworks Championships. Which for this was to be the time to let my hair down a bit and feel like i can get back to vlogging. But this was also a ruished since yet again having a visit on the way to the bus anyway.

But the journey was nice to use the surface again, though it was getting VERY cramped by the end of it. But it makes the usefulness of the Surface so much easier as i was going to use it. But it feels nice to have evening bus rides again.

The bus

The sunsets

More selfies off the bus

Its those moments which sometimes that explore works out, especially with the dusk and also a quite toilet break and maybe gamble but forgot in the casino before going to the next stage of exploring the hoe. Its always the time to enjoy, thought the crowds were a bit lower than it used to be. I say that there way to get to the new viewing spot was actually a long chore.

The blurry walking up

The Dusk are always amazing to see

The crowds before the walk down

But this then leads to thew display which I wish i did have tripod but it didnt happen. So that is why it went jerky, bit its still nice to semi be comfy and then gaze at the bangs and the dusk and the moon being brightly lit up.

As that was going to end, it was nice to finally Walk a more casual path to get back since actually no I was almost about to be missing the train home since the crowds were still piling up near armada way and I did not have any drink at that time too. But its still a packed train to get back home, which still my goal of late night trains.

But as time passes, its more normal life that goes and the weather came in so that stopped the chance of the part 2 vlog which was a a shame but also that was the day my mum insisted me to pickup so that was the end of the big event of vlog wise on this month. But the week was trying to catch up on the vlog and work in-between. Especially as it was passing the point when its memories from family were coming up with the WWII weekend in Harrowbeer.

Late night snacks after the vlog

More sunday toast

More Sunday Roasts

More leftovers for the Sunday tea

But it comes to the point of how summer is starting to end for me at this point, like sure the last week of August used to be a turning point and really it was coming up to the decade since Kissing H for the first time back in Cuba, which walking past that last year was alot of change. Lidl had more deals but it was the box that almost tipped when i tried to pick it up too.

Selfies on the mondays

Loading the bike selfie again

As it comes to that, it ends up one of the weeks which was back to the scams yet a fucking again . So it was coming up to the part of the weekend for the bank holiday. Before that more squirrels were in thew park being very close to the trousers and also running in fields but not what but more of dry mud on direct or quicker routes home. Plus burger sauce is the best season for it even.

The mayo with i think it was meatballs with chips and salad

But it was more of the time of Thursday for the pizza bits which then leads to getting back home with which its nice to be following the chats with her about asking me how i was and sure the £5 brownies are nice but that is local business pricing.

The selfies on the back roads again

Garlic bread for £7 and brownie for £5

Then seeing the inflatable play parks but i noticed the week before a re-visit on F which i felt this was coming to the back to repeating November 2023 So it was then to start hearing the tales and even other dates from the past were involved this time due to not just me being scammed by this person. So it was time to face this. Which this starts off a message just of the same as when the i;'m stuck x place and x to help me. So this means the same old stuff and this was then just feeling its going to be the same and well it was. Next thing i know it was messages from people in the past being warned since it was a very muhc mixed messages, so this means it has more stress. This lead on to even having her call me in the shop on a saturday morning which for that she was put on call and had my friend listen to the life story between me and her more of the same situation again and again. But it was by the end of Saturday and the report came back and then blocked and that ended that chapter. Sure lunch was really nice to have during this time too.

So this chapter closes and its the final days before the end of the main summer and the senior summer was about to begin which for me was new plans for the winter, but this time it goes to the point of the the time toi end and as more sandwiches appear and it was nice to finally message new people and further up north which gives it more chances but will it progress to more is actually so far a no. But as the summer ends, the weather gets to be sadly raining again which is the shame but also means a chance of a better September.

One the final 2 days it seems its going to be more food to grab, from the fridge has some details and also the final lidl visit of the month with more deals on popcorn, asian and italian week come to a close and the biscuit spread may ir riang on my head. Plus adding extra to microwave meals sometimes makes them spill.

More sauce to spill

And then it comes into the season of new stories to tell and the shop for the best on what the future really does hold of me here. Since September in a new part starts plans that i question if it will happen at the time, hindsight will tell me is dejavu of my failures.

Take Care

A Reflection of 2024 (Year in Review) - Part 2

2025-01-02T02:05:00.006+00:00

So this ends up of the next part of the year in review which new challenges comes out and its even things not even mentioned at the time and even more catching up was done. But here we go with September.

September

So we start on another sunday and it feels the way to relax and sort out bits, especially was now to prepare of what was to come and it was that was to be the time, but it was interesting on some messages but it was a Lul, since at this time a latter came through which was told to fill in and as that end. The weekend ends and it was time to have a day off which for me was to go to ginsters to get things like breakfast rolls as well as something else and this was the start of when the reva mash potato chicken pots are incredible.

As this time went on, it was coming up to was was meant to be going to court, but that was changed to january and forbid the regret i was going to have with that, but instead it was going to be 2 weeks of pet sitting and time to catch up on things I wanted to get done in-between what ended up to be very long days of work, not the longest as time would happen neared the end of the year but instead this was to prepare for food ideas for the 2 weeks to myself happening soon. As this was happening it was coming to be able to prepare my skin since the legs were get rashes and it was time to get that cooled so it was superdrug to get it cooled which it will help.

As it was coming to the end of the time to prepare for having time to to myself and this was to be celebrated with a Fish and chips or more fishcakes and chips, which at least its a local but still it was coming up to find time to get things done after working and chores which was going to be tricky and this was the task to the of what to make, But with leftover bits and the ranges of others it was starting to get used to the habit of chucking stuff in the air fryer while watching hercules to catch up on my childhood memories, the past few years i've had time to do that now.

As things go, it was also the chores for #dogwalkingwithomracer as well as other cleaning and washing at the same time, like it was meaning it was going to be a lot ot catch up with over it since it was that time again of when i will; get time, since getting home was now starting to get darker than in the summer.

The first full weekend to myself was coming up and for a change it was actually to get a nice smoothie and then grandaded invited me to go to a local pub before taking him to B&M to get some bits like even the favourite Toxic Waste ice pops which have a lush sour taste to them too, but that and more walking Rosie at night.

It was soon around the time a new person locally to talk to and some red flags to notice but not a direct like only 1 month or less ago. which actually when i realised it later on was actually part of a same group from years ago. Same same and eventually previous number from that previous person, a reused number going to someone with the same name first is an actually makes no sense moment or messed up fate. This was not going to worry me as I Went to LIDL on the way back from horrabridge regulars.

More bits from lidl which includes the case to use as a shelf for work

Sausages and Space raiders to use with Brioche rolls

Ik mean it was around this time i finally got the posts of the tweets well former tweets updated from like months of backlog and even as i type this now its another backlog to build up but it was also coming up to a Red moon, so the sky has things coming up. Which was also coming towards some other unique visits as the timings go, with even passing bridges that were closed for months in the summer due to trucks smacking into it. That monday after however was the first visit into plymouth to sort a client out which was fine and the rush to go near where I had my first 3 dates was a memory for beholding, and even trhen I did get some time to make it to get on.

More biscuit spread with fried food

As the final few days appear, it comes to having some waffle burgers which was intense using the spreads and the sauces and it was really filling to make, But this was the final few days of my time off, things were updated and the vlogs caught up and work was back to trying to prepare for the big time, since it was close to the end of the month already.

The burger waffles

A deeper look at one of the burger

As the end of the month coming up, more bike rides to see clients in Plymouth were to pop up whi ch some relief in one ways and preparation for things to be sorted in another, since it was also around this time the laptop was burning itself on the way out with the keyboard very close to dying more and even the motherboard and left hinge was starting to go. That was going to take some of the editing plans a bit harder in one sense and easier in another with borrowing them in work, but it was around the time the Desktop needed its turnup and cleanup too. But even with the fcw t bridge near home was cut off so calstock was the terminus before up the hill to go home, it was selfies on the way after lidl were going to be needed.

With also plans coming in with a girl from the very recent past as even close to finally getting to meet her which was going to be a weekend. This plan was going to be fun as she is into the gain shakes too. The plan was to go to Castle Cary and run up to Shepton since apparently it was around that area. This plan was the most thrill i could ever have in life and I was hoping this to be true, but like fate, i know things might not work out and that looking back now this makes me usual regret and then the second chances will be what they are. Well hoping in 2025 so far is looking promising.

As the last days of the month approached it was a even to get time to get a more of what to deal with, Since the bike had to be sorted before its too late which was the learning point of eventually this means a train trip yet again to get the bike fixed. Which was Fine and it was even WhatsApp with mum ion deals for a exercise mat due to recovering from things. But that and it was time to have a treat of a Kool-Aid from the imported shop on the corner, since its a nice change, Sure g-fuel is popular but that time has passed for the shop. But it was also seeing the Mass gainer in B&M was a interesting shock exciting for what could happen in the next few weeks.

Which around this time was actually getting to know some other feedees which turns out its all just online only with them and really a regret to feed 2 of a certain group, since it was just that big wanting of repetition and like in a emotional way it was just not even gambling with them, I mean it felt like a chore more than enjoyment. Which that was soon to end. But this month was going to end.

The Jacket potato with a curry, potatoes and salad with crisps

Which then it was October,

October,

This was going to be the big month of life changing and also fate, which for me this year was trying to plan things out which I was not even ready for and my life was going to change for hopefully the better but it was to end up the worst. Its still a blur since of all the daily visits to sort out after the shop and time. But it was nice to have some of those meals especially as this month was going to be a lot of pressure to sort things out in the time i have.

As the final weeks before the big day of the Fair week, it was the time to finally get things prepared, sure talking to local girls that would just be the usual with the replies and delays. The laptop was going to be in its skull of falling, since the motherboard was starting to refuse to charge up or show any lites, especially with the keyboard failing as well this was the tough choice of now its the end of the laptop or maybe something else. But it was also around after this from the ediging, I realised the UGREEN GAN 65W Charger was actually never the fault here which actually shocked me, since it turned out that was charging the laptop which means I could actually get things going and keep using it, but that was for another day after and before 2025 was to arrive.

As the week of Goose Fair was starting, it was getting hectic in work and even with some plans to sort out in work like Ordering macbooks and also the chance to finish some ipad repairs off. But this was the time I was not focused on that and focused on how this was going to work for the 2024 Fair. This was going to be the time of anticipation and excitement for the future and also was closed to planning out food ideas for the weekend with the girl from the summer escapades for 2 weeks later, Since heck even on the night of the Tuesday was the last time I heard from her, as i was walking to see the preview of what was to come.

Which then it was time to go back to work and get ready to edit what was going on and also at the same time was to edit a cameo too, That day i brought the desktop down with me to the shop for making sure i can video edit, since the help of the RX 590 to help render effects and all that. Which once it was about 10pm, it was time to get this edited up and it was this desire to get things cained which for me is important since thursday was my deadline for the main event to be filmed, edited and up. This time was easier since the rain made it feel closer and it was also that time of using the sleeping bag while on the chair to edit.

As the night progressed it was getting the video edited and eventually i remember getting to sleep about the 6am mark, which then it lets me wake up to prepare for the final bits to upload before its the time for the main event of the Fair in the day. Since the Wednesday in itself was a new way to navigate and all yet familiar in return.

This then starts to prepare to finish before going to actually film, like someone came RIGHT into the shop as i got to leave, on a day that was told as closed, sometimes its fate of the worst kind. So it starts on a bad note and more delays before we start on this day. The weather was starting to clear up as it was and it was the time of nearly 10:30, which when it comes to it, any later and the market would end up being closed, since most of the hype was always in the morning. So it was time to head off and walk to explore the town during Goose fair.

The sheep in the market

The plants and the stalls

As time passed, it was the key that the area was fading on its charm and also the advertising was off a bit due to how it was fading from the popularity. Which for this it was more empty and less of the crowds but this in itself was feeling like it was empty. But then it was time to carry on and then progress to the next part of the tour of the fair. Which going the back route near the meadows is the nice way, then a damp car park with the fair. Which for me it's the way to just keep exploring.

But then it was clearing up and more exploring to subside with this, maybe my mind was not in it and there were other things to do, but it was the type to see what was going to be, but it was clearing up oin the weather. But the stalls were similar but at the same time there was a bit of new themes to it since like ever year there is that change of social trend which means it will have a different aspect. From bubble tea to even the other TikTok trends to even something like squid game was there in keychain form.

Looking back at this and it means to return

Then it was time to make my way back with more treat on the stalls to look at which then gave me time to reflect on what it could have been. Which for me was a bit of deja vu, especially when it comes to this, but this time its leading to be something i cant even describe. But it was then the walk down to the square which was something for me to consider what to have and the things to explore. But the crowds and weather was getting better and more feeling like it was time to explore. But from no amusements to even the bundles of like 6 boxes of lindt for £60.

More trends

The catley lorries as usual,

But as it came to, it was near the bottom of the way, its coming to deals which was like box loads of lindt, which for it was actually a deal of like 3 for £10 on them so like a whole carton box of lindt for £20 is like incredible, which that took like 3 months to eat all of the boxes, which one was meant to go with for a journey yet to be planned out. But that was purchased and then on my way to carry to explore the square before thinking on how lunch was to be planned out. In the end it was just for a cookie burger.

Then it was time to actually get back to the shop after spending £15 on a cookie burger, I had to head back to work which was to finally get the vlog edited up, it was then arguments with suppliers due to release going to shit so i had to deal with that. But then it was time to eat the cookie burger.

But then it was the crunch time to get the editing done which for me was going to be the hours lasting into the evening and it was making sure I was ready and sorting out but time and proceantion passes and it was then time to catch up on this since it was nearing the 8pm mark for the Evening of Goose Fair..

This was also a chance to see what's around as the end of the day since the deals go on, which for me has some of the charm of the glow of the fair and the rain sadly was not holding off which was a shame but the deals were there, the weather was not as cold.

But as it goes the night feels calmer and the rain starts to come in more, some stalls pack up quicker which is the fair way since if its all sold out and really the fairs still showing the crowds on what it can be like. But it was going to be the case of having that look around to feel as the rides were blasting and the feeling.

But the time was passing on, it was getting on the clearance deals, the crowds were much less and also it was me just being tired but it was the end of the day and by 9:11 I was back in the shop and then guiding to finish off the day vlog. But as that editing was getting on, the ideas flipped a bit and the all nighter was to continue. Which part towards it there was a message that talked on things which gotr intense and snap happened in the end, but I baited in the same traps which in the end was leading me to say at 3am "I fucked it up with" and it was on my mind and this was fates way of telling on patience before thew weekend to stay over in 2 weeks from then. But it works out from the perspective of time it was only going to be worse. But with that regret out of the way the editing continues and it was then coming to the end of the night and crashed out once the day vlog was sorted.

That saga ends and it was getting most of the night vlog done until like 2pm since customers STILL wanted to go in the shop so it was all cleared and back to being normal by 3pm which was a papr jammer to fix and along other bits too. Then my mum with her co-worker picked me up which was a final return home after 2 nearly all nighters in the shop. Its made me learn a lesson but it was the most productive on videos i've ever been, well this year anyway.

The rest of the week was the anticipation for a text which was going to be the case of finally having time to reflect on which for me was going to be the excitement of a lifetime and also on this end of the week was going to be the way to bond with customers that have become friends in the years supporting, so it was nice to be invited for a 90th at the bedford on the saturday for the end of the week which for this was going to be an interesting one.

The saturday came but it was actually a very warm day, work was getting to be busy with then the fair blasting out from the mid afternoon , which eventually it was 4pm since customers still came in, since the case which I was late for the 90th birthday. So i got there. It was a calm time and nice to enjoy some sandwiches at the same time as catch up with the customer and her friend and family. But as this was the week before something that was supposed to be exciting. The food was nice which made it easier and it was making me fe a bit full, especially as after the vlog it was to cycle my way back to Horrabridge after the look of the Fair in the evening.

The rides were nice and reflecting and it felt like a indian summer finally appeared which was a nice way, especially as the main events of October for me were normally meant to pass but the reality of it was the week of waiting before my life could have changed forever.

Which then it was coming towards what was going to happen, it was time to end and make my way back to.....actually I had to go to horrabridge, since of a visit to sort out. Since things with this customer went haywire when i closed back in the start of the year. But it was nice to cycle in the sunset with the sun bright and the clear sky, it felt like a nice ending to a busy week.

The mixed of left over food brought back home

it was expecting the best week to appear in my life, and recover from the 2 days off to get editing done, with snacks in-between and longer nights in the dark and the nights will pull in more and more. Since it was filling loose ends before the big weekend was approaching, talks with what was learning to become a conspiracy with a old talking and scam which later i'll explain that when that happens. But lidl deals and the excitement for the train to see someone is a buzzing expectation.

As the mindset of the next day was meant to be my journey up to Dorset or was Castle Cary in somerset but it was meant to be that day, texts did not even arrive and the nevers were tense, since it was that moment to either cancel the train or go on and face a road to nowhere, which for me wass the choice to bail out and get the refund from splitmyfare which means that was off the cards and the depression kicked in with the mistakes which lead to talking to new people. Which lead to some scottish decisions of choosing the wrong people, sure it was going to bite me with regret and actually cost a bit more, but well watching someone eat greggs is semi actually no not worth what it was since the normal way didn't work for them. Especially as it was another trip to trago which parent felt guilty from the holiday going south even though the truth was not what it was meant to be and even for me the truth was not eve ngoing to happen/

But it leads to be the issue of what could of happened did not and what if is the piss take of fate. But even months later it was going to be a email from the middle provider asking for food when i moved on. This was that point of it and as time was to progress, it was back to some messages here and there. but it was that filler talk that gives it that tine, work was still in catchup mode. Especially which from here thr only events left were the fireworks and also the Christmas coming up. The weather was starting to feel autumn and those leaves slipping the ground. But the nights were pulling in more and more.

More late night meals

This was then the time, of a text message, Sunday and that message was finding the truth to find out the girl waa in Hospital with her phone broken. This was just the iceberg that tipped me, It was that feeling disappointment which got me that knowledge of things are back to square one which from this was the key of the repeated of year,s sure not as much wasted on the money wise. But this was that start with how local in the lifestyle was sketchy as fuck.

More Sausage Rolls for lunch

As it comes to it, the week after was coming to the end of October and this was the realisation of how my life is going to be low and more people from leeds is what i waa talking with too, this is how the things will be for the rest of the year will continue and my body will probably suffer for it. But Halloween was alway th charm and churrs were no exception. But a really good deal on some PEanut butter when XXL week was the week after.

November:

This then leads to the new times and reflection of the month, the times with also work piling on visits to places i've never been before. but it starts off with cycling to yelverton to a visit for same skype issues and as i cycled back it was the season of the fireworks which for me was the sign of the events of the year coming to an end. This was also the time of having to deliver Nokia Tablets then cycle home just before the Lions Fireworks started.

But it soon comes to pass, the weekend was to catch up and make sure it was prepared for the week ahead of vlogs, train and fireworks too. Since this was the big moment of making sure, i was prepared Since the first of the trips was to millbrook again after another 2 customers, this was fine but it shows on how the time was really right for the cycle, i mean its better than the first time which i cycled all the way back home. But it was nice to finally explore places before the end of the year, especially as it was reflecting on the past weeks.

The selfie on the ferry for the first time

The maps of the next stage

With that and the powder of routers semi working, it was time to head back which the skies go golden at night when taken with the gcam mods and the views sometimes made things to reflect, but the weather was not being kind and i will find out how bad in the week to come to revisit since of admin to get done with the bike needing to fail on me the final time in 2024.

The view of the city on the Millbrook to torpoint way home

The rewarding tea from that distance

Which then it comes to the main event of the fireworks in the mist, which for me was a visit before and also the time to get an errand done which would fuck up the business for weeks to come. Which yes the display was nice for what it was, the weather held off for it but It was nice to be in the city and the lights being prepared before the christmas season.

This was then the time to go in from the uni way to the ocean city centre plaza for preparing what to needed before it was time to actually go to see the bonfire lit. Bur one thing to prepare was bike lights since of the journeys i would need to take will be ones i need the lights in the dark for, now it was clearly 1 hour back for the clocks changing, and i need ot be prepared and lukcily it semi did help, esiecpally as there was about 10 minutes to rush and get them, plus the crowds were going to the hoe on this time were piling on.

As i explored it was nice to finally get some time to warm up near the

bonfire as i reflected on things with what happened last month and if i went too far to expect or if dejavu gets the best, this was also around the itme the elections of the US were taking shape which time would tell if it project 2025 would become more real or if common sense in some ways prevailed. Then the display happened right as i was in the mix of the crowds.

Then it was time to make my way back with going vi the barbican to take some time on this which it was quieter on the paths and even a trance of empty when walking into cineworld, which was to kill time before the main chore to pay cash into the atm in Santander which that was going to be a big flop.

The view from the barbican

Which then after the dealing with my bank card being swallowed and having to call the bank up with a hope it might come back this was proving to be another fuck up doing something simple and it was leading to mistakes to be made for work in november which the wet weather was making the choice later on. But this was the regret of big banks like Santander. But it was the train home to sort out.

More bits on the way home from the fridge

As that ended it was back to the grind of getting back to the grind and feeling like its going to be a long november, which orders had to be delayed, phone calls outside to the bank, PS5 Pro was soon to be out and also the mist in the sky at night had its charms. Sure messages from princesses and other growing girls was nice but the time it takes will be the key of hoping something gets serious, since the local oppostuiiies were lack of even with Angels changing locations.

Then it comes to the weekend which finally i had to get things done, go distances, gets to the point to finally sort the bike out. Which the process for this was normal and split into 2 days since it was potentially a final weekend using the train and plymouth actually it was not from what was to come.

The new flavours in lidl and XXL chocco nussa is a must

The selfie after the shopping in lidl

Then it was the days before and a lidl shop with some deals actually works out the best way to work out

This started with the bike that have to go with me on the train, ready for it to get the parts it needs to keep going which i was going to be shocked on what was going to happen and the goods I picked up along the way Like even a copy of Ridge racer 6 from CEX which is a miracle of finding that many years later for £15 and not at ebay extortionate pricing, which for me will being some job to finally play the last in the collection of a series dear to me.

But then the cameo ended and it was a nice calm walk back into town to check on things before seeing if the bike was ready which i was going to not be surprised about really on how things were going to wear out on the bike since it as going to end up. The pedal, brake pads and chain was to be changed. Well the chain will have to be ordered in the new year.

The view from the hoe

Now this leads me to go home and relax and reflect on this since it was around the 1pm time, since the bike is not ready to collect and not worth to kill another 2 hours of time. So the 1:20 train was the next step to go for too get home.

The Selfie at the station

The clouds above the station

But then it was to the second day of this weekend With supersized uni students having issues with printers to even the chance of speaking to a local person which was even close to being from the past but it was ending up another past from years which I was going to find out later on the connection. But this monday was going to be a wet journey and one of distance, banking nightmares and night cycles. This was only to start with after the bus to get in to Tavi, the rain and the fake snow of a film set to pass by. Before some things to pick up for the shop before another visit on the way with this and for me Then to go to lidl to get the bus.

The fake snow and the rain

Lidl in the soaking autumn

The bus was damp and yet quiet on the bus which then it was time to get into the city to pick up the bike and pay into the bank from the drama on the Bonfire night. Which it was then still soaking wet for the part which is a pain but had to be done. Eventually picked up the bike after getting from the station to Evans and turned out the chain was on the way out. Which after was time to park it and get money paid in which for me felt drained and depressed for it.

Picking up the bike

Then it was time to call this customer and say I'm on my way to see them, so it was a cycle to then go on the Torpoint Ferry to then go over the river to then cycle my way back to millbrook, which the dusk was coming in and then with a network to ring it was a bit of a chore and 4G calling has some work to sort out. But eventually it was then a long cycle back but still quick enough to get the train back before it arrived and that little bit of lateness helps.

As far as weekends go, this was not my final one as i thought, ok sure it was the last monday I had off in 2024 that wasn't in the christmas mix-up but it was still the time of having to work as normal and it was feeling the pinch of back to normally. Sure it was getting the preparation for Black friday the week after next and sure it was more flirting and late nights for visits with the weather having this overcast cloudy over which was making it nicer to get home in these parts. But as the day ends messages were there and its was coming up to possible the start of new conversations which could have been a chance for something special in 2025 and something to look forward too. Little did i know this was not going to be the case

This was also the time it was a number exchange which then my google account would do the 2 and 2 together but later on its going to be the change of maybe i overstated but it still goes to the chance of will things go better. Especially as this was the time the PS5 Pro was to sell but how things go out of control with the shop. Instead was more chance of leftover meals with late nights and microwaved meals.

The selfie on the way home

Cookies with Shepherd pie and even salad to add too

The egg and bacon to add with baked beans and teriyaki from one of the nights

As I was able to con tinue chatting with a new girl that was wanting to get quite serious to the point numbers were exchanged pretty actual quick, with big goals, maybe ones i might never get that far but 2025 is the conclusion of where the davelle lies. Plus it was some advice with usb drives that will also bite from helping customers on my visit travels back in the summer. Like a used usb dual drive not being compatible when it was actually used on the CCTV box is a vibe of entitlement.

But this was the final, is week of support and planning orders since the week or 2 to come was the start of Dickensian and December for the final month. Which black Friday approaching and knowing even more things were going to go go bad. But its what it is, so in my way minus a part of a trio wanting more meals which if i did would go nowhere since in September both of us realised it was not going to work out since she's not into meeting so it would be online only to the point I'm not even supposed to know her name. But work still carries on and even one gifted sandwich from boots was a touch too.

A smoothie and toastie for breakfast again on the sunday

More late ham and even gherkins

Meatballs was a popular meal for some of the nights

Then it was the final month to tackle and things to prepare for.

December.

Well this is where the fun really starts, the last month of the year, Things are not even comprehending and even on the 1st day with things being complicated when the weather was starting to get worse and also with me having to get that chance to chat and get the bike cleaned when the weather was drying the month in weather term,s since Storms will be approaching.

More toasted Sandwiches

The sausage roll with chilli

Then it was sorting out products and making sure it was ready and semi clean for dickensian but also with hope of a build to help a work friend out with which was going to be taking up most of the week. I mean it was nice and easier the first 2 days of the week since CMlink of £18 per year for a sim card arrived in which heck even i got that in October.

Egg and chicken for a tea on a night home and burger sauce being cheaper too

The CM link Sim cards

Which then for this was coming up to the big day, a MAcbook had to be setup and this was one one of the longest nights i've done in months, which Essentially i got home about midnight from working and even a visit inside a visit. I mean even this was late by my own standard.s But that is what the bike is for which helps me get around. I mean this was even after filming the last cameo of the year.

The view of the overcast

The overnight meal when getting home

But then it was more visits to catch up and the day before Dickensian and big visits were about, since regulars wanting editing advice for storms on the sea which is actually a nice project but it takes alot of my time to sort out.

The selfie by the statue

More lefoer bits when I got home.

So then it actually lead to the main event of Dickensian, which the storms coming up over the weekend caused it to be cancelled but it was also the right time. But this is the time of motherboards going and learned how one screw can fuck it all up even with a support call to MSI in the usa, But while this happened i opened as normal which had some sales but then the phones went, the emergency sirens coming. this was a new storm which was getting serious, and i was going to be lectures on simply working was going to cause stress. But it was more mild compared to the 2023 december when it was minus one when getting a lift home instead of staying in the shop. But this year was another regret to go home for this.

Rice krispies and noodles with sausages airfried for a 11pm night

This was then the weekend of Storms and learning how the training to get home was going to pay off, this was Storm Darragh arriving and actually I was very lucky in the route I had taken for the evening did not kill me. But this was the start to actually run into work from how the winds the feeling strong, Well on the way way into work running it felt like that a bit and this was in turn was going to be a painful. Like especially with 3 visits after work that day.

The selfie on the way into work

But as worked ended it was time to ger the things done and 3 visits in the same area was going to commence Which for me I was jus about to get one done then go home but it was that time of getting it doen else it means longer nights ahead on that side of the week after and this was close to being working on sundays which was going to piss offer even more people and exhaust me for that sure. time was not on my side and arguments over the phone was to happen by the time of the second visit. Which even that was for a short time before going to the 3rd one which was quick but at the same time was hectic. But even after this was the case in the point of it was eventually 8pm and ready to go home, But with calling to find out a road was closed, this was where the running home would take its toll of actually being the best way to get home for once. like it was think and cold of the strongest wind i've ran in but how it did not let me die in the trees above the canal is final destination vibes.

The canale ghosted in the flash o the phone

Its a bit better here

Ok maybe not as much

Theniis show hardly any of it as ll

This Then concludes on oe the storms i endured in the year, with the legs of mijne and how they coped is still a mystery which next year might be more of te same i and i will not lie it is something to brace myself for once the Legal jury side sorted things which i was no way prepared for that in the month ahead. But this was then to relax after the storm to pass before catching up on another mondays of the final few ones to go .

A nice smoothie and toasted sandwich

A Roast at a local pub

A nice salad and lighter meal in the evening

But then it was the next step of the storm, the oversight and it was going to be a long distance home again which due to A Horrabridge visit was the case but it was then the way home which was going to be things to block it . Which means it was going to be the case of having to move the bike around the Fallen trees from the Darragh storm . Like i got the bike under the tree with a bit of leaning over.

A Bit more viid of the night shot of the Treee fallen down

The same shot but right in the dark

Then more ham and the Garlic Aioli from morrisons

Then it lead to the prep work for Christmas, with some releases going up in the month, Plus the orders on the tech side was going to be intense. Especially when I was having to plan out to prepare for the new year and the cosing to get the accounting updated while jury was going on. But more waffles , sandwiches and even chatting to princesses was going on .

The gifted sadnwich

Waffles with A Shepheard's pie i think it was

Now this was coming up to a unique message which turned out was from someone in my life from years ago and turns out she has grown, finally drives and also the start of leaning for the conspiracy of the locals were linkeds to those from the same area as this. The message was basically wanting to try again and Ho i really did help her gain, but when it was back in the spring of 2022 it felt much more of a one-sided affair. This was making it feel conflicted of the What iuf moment to try to re-repat with a different outcome or was it to end up going the same way. Of course give it a couple of days and then the disappearing came and made me realise that was going to be the case of no return. But its still to keep going with some snacks and late night visits .

Gherkins with the nixed rice and breas was the key to have as well

The mash potato and special K with Biscuit spread hits it

This was also the time of a weird time of more messages from this girl that was on about scammers but then wanted upfront for a gfe which its a unique but well not for me, which then rejecting that was a semi awkward part. This makes it a the meh reasoning and time to recall just catch up with more northern princesses instead which actually filled the time to catch up while working intensely, with like the planing. This was also the time of longer nights which like it was getting home like at 11pm to then eat.

The selfie nearing the top of Tavi

A lucozade with fried chicken and sweetcorn at night

But as it comes to the final full week before the Christmas festivities, Which actually for a change was the point to go to Homeleigh to return items that was broken but also good to see the lights and given ideas for me and even with the infinity looks which reminds me of a Vida case .

The toasted bagel is a nice touhc

I mean it was nice to have some of the cafe which a nice sausage and chips is a classic before looking at those lights and seeing the views, it feels more like a late autumn instead of a winter december which felt better.

The overnight leftover dinners

This then lead to the finally week before Christmas and it was a fucking blur. Sure talking to someone which was close to something real that could be But my mind was going to realise this is too good to be true. But more late nights and meals to go, with some seasoning here and there. Especially with the forcing to try to typing this up of the beginning months which was different. Plus another girl that had a carer that was growing nicely was a good chatting to enjoy

But then it was Finally time to get things done on the weekend before christmas, the weather was lush and it was time to finally get some of the Presents for Christmas for 2024. With the lush weather and final time of sunday off before the new year approaching, it was worth the gamble. A Shopping trip to Exeter

This was a nice time for this to go, which for me was the way to go. The train trip was a nice one and even with some breakfast from the community fridge to go with it as well. I do regret this late one but the tasty snack is nice. But as i got to plymouth the weather cleared up.

The food for the journey

Trains and sunrises at stations

The view of clear sky in Plymouth

So this then was the train ride and made me realise it was the time of why i must remember my passwords since I was locked out of my surface for like 20 minutes before Windows hello worked out. But eventually it was passing the coast of Dawlish. Its still nice and sometimes makes me want to move there.

The view of the sea

Nearing Starcross

As then it was arriving it was then too late, the train at Exeter ST Davids passed and then it was time to just run into town to see if bus to ikea was easier to get to, which then was the run up the hill then passed exeter central to get to the bus stop on the main street. Even though the bus is nto poto 2pm. but then back and forth to exeter central to see if it works out, Especially seeing the lawn by the cathedral was ruined from the christmas markets the weeks before.

But as trains and stations being ignored due to delays, it was a odd situation which for me was then no point to go to ikea else it would be harder to get the shopping done. So to explore the city was the key, From the coach bus station to even seeing the decor in princesshay too. But it was nice to get some bits for shopping around of gifts for family for Christmas. Which sometimes its the places of unusual will work really well.

More decor

As things go some gifts for my sister were the best to get from here so that was the way to go and makes sure there were some gifts to get for the rest of the family too.

As then it was time to make my way back into the city while passing the heritage and historical part of the city. From the Sandstone bricks but anyhow I got my way back to the city in somewhat for the last bits from a pound stretcher and minus other parts left for presents for the family to sort out But like sauces for that price was a good bargain while the horns blasted on a cross roads. But more browsing and it was time to get the train home. since this was going to be the shortest day of the year the day before so night will swoop in. But A trip to the oriental store in the corner is the way to go.

As time was going on, it was time to make my way back to the station since it was getting darker and there was a text from the potential chance with someone in the 2025 year that in itself will be a story to tell. But that was waiting for a train which one was delayed but another was arriving quickly since less delays from cardiff instead of london.

The globe as the run to the bigger station is to be

The waiting for the platform

The surface and the night kicking in

Then it was getting in and the train home was already there so it was the time to wait for the other train before getting back home to pick some bits up in the Fridge for some of the days ahead before the big day. Sometimes it still reminds me that a late night train journey is the key I will need to do in the 25 year.

This was also the time for dominoes for a repetition to make sure the past down not happen again which the 25 year will prove this probably wrong.

Wit this is was then the final days before the 2 day off before the Christmas Day break, this was going to the be the day the time for a desktop to be rushed on christmas eve was the painful part but time will let me get it built. This is sometimes the consequence of having to rush orders but that was more working around it and then it was then time to just about get the bus home and have a leftover meal before Christmas 2024 begins.

Leftover mashups for the 23rd

Then it was fapping and getting things sorted. Since it was delayed and the fog coming up, a cold for me starting to happen and it was actually one of the quietest Christmas's i've ever had which was good taste with some netflix films, a filming in a burger oodiee and even some of the merry christmas messages too.

But then it was to just get this editing before it was just me and parents for the christmas meal, it was nice and it felt a more peaceful experience.

This then leads to the speech of the king which was a more calm expression of this time and reflection of the year. Which the hope of the new changes will finally make its way to improve the world but instead that will be left to decided. But after this was time to relax and watch a film while letting the presents finish themselves off in terms of handing them around, since some of the family ones would be as month later until them gone.

The rest of the presents for sure

But then it was relaxing which then lead to finally take it easy and the body reasting for another date with the Boxing day the day after. This was more of a anticipated chance which for me the same boxing day meetup which to be honest was the usual time and misnu a person from the past messaging me for some xbox advice, it was nothing to note really and some good buffet food and also my sister left early too which we followed on shortly after that to get home and then relax and catch up with things, it was actually the relaxing one and some good presents too .

Then it was back to work for the twixmas days which would be like the final weekend of the year which has things, but even with one fake member on signal actually trying to blackmail me with fake nudes from some random thing, like even when trying to call me on the WAY HOME FROM WORK FOR A SELFIE and when i refused made some fake pic up minus downloading some of my old pics like um.. ...

The leftover meal with onion rings, Honey mustard chicken , Oreo donut and even ham

The threat on signal

Then it was the final days, with the toast and me joining together to reach out on scammers on the feeeb to even more the crushes speaking and plans on whatsapp for what can happen. It was feeling it, then i was being a bit tired and as much as i regret, i took NYE off which helped me catch things up. Especially as the final dogwalk to the field in the year and also it was nice send offs with some people and the send off with the fireworks before the new years of video editing until my body nearly crashed out.

That's it, 2025 is finally here and the review of this next year will be wild in its times from what i would not expect, Ok Jury service in January and then the same old working and attempts for the same thing after might b the case here.

Take care and 2025 we'll catch up more i hope.
