A Humid Cloudy Fireworks Championships

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:

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 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.

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

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.

Then it was the end of the first batch of displays and it was then to make my way back in the nice calm way to get the train home. 

The Way home in the fair 


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.

Another selfie 





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

£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
