A Hot day of Fast food

 So, its been another week of August and the future really is starting to kick off with the moving in just under a month's time and well this was also the time of having to cope with the potential next step in my life and also at this point, reconnect with the past. But the vlog for this is below: 

The Morning: 

After a day of having to reflect on moving things about and also clearing out the attic along with some nice casually breakfast on that Sunday. 

The Breakfast on the sunday 

A clearout of Pokemon cards

it was to wake up in a sweat, especially after texting someone the night before asking what time she wanted me to pop over since there was a chance of filming bits and pieces as well. But as with the past, I had a feeling it was not going to happen. But I woke up around 9am after watching a clip of a girl pigging out in Spoons last year and then another clip of a weigh-in before the climax and getting up. This was of course waiting for a reply which was not happening yet. 

So after this, it was time to get some chores done online before the cycle would begin for this potential long day, But the Walk was nice since it wanted to give me time to reflect and even have more signal just in case the text appears. But it didn't and then it was time to go home to then get changed and cycle for the first visit. 

The First part  

The first visit was actually a quick one to go to a customer since they only text me a few days ago which then lead me to sort out things like a watch to change the time as well as Kindle bits and pieces. 

Now I then left there around the 12:pm mark and it was a peak heat cycle with the route and the lack of wind which even on the hottest day of the year, felt cooler than the recent days. But after a text from the customer, I just left about his glasses being lost, I was on my way to the supplier to get some phones sorted to purchase for customers n the next week. The heat was getting there but the win was starting to pick up, But with that and an hour 20 minutes later, I got to the place. 

I got there and ordered the phones and had to wait for a short bit before it turns out it was an hour to get them prepared, due to one customer wanting a battery upgrade, so it was told to then take a break and come back from 2:30pm. 

A Cycle for lunch: 

So this ends up the next part, We then had to take some time out, and the first thing I did, well cycle opposite the road to amazon warehouse which was nicely poshly laid out. But after that long walk, it ended up with a guy at the desk who is pretty blunt in saying no we don't sell any amazon stock here. 

So I walked out and then it was finding the path to get to the road to Derriford and it was literally right around the corner, so I pedalled that and it was mostly a slight gradient down to then get to the road and then its a case of following the roast to get to the roundabout to the park opposite Tim  Hortons. Which only opened up very recently.  

The Selfie outside Tim Hortons 

But I walked in there, was greeted with a menu and there was to walk around and check what to have, which actually the cheapest drink was £3.49. and so then it was to realise to my app notice that KFC was having rewards, which means I get a free side meal and then go to get a drink and £1.69 for a Watermelon Lime refresher which is quite nice. I was like the only person at the till minus one Just eat driver.  

The Popcorn Chicken and the Watermelon lime refresher 

So I sat in the booth and ate while chatting which is something I've NOT done for YEARS and it was something I struggled to do but thank fuck for the heat and filming like I used to. But after 15 minutes to take it easy and finish it off before passing the 2:30 mark. Even with the fact I'm a bit late for when I said I would be but that was luck in the end of things. But after a toilet break it was time to cycle to the supplier. 

As i left these 2 cute-sized ladies left Tim Hortons, one with more thicker thighs and more a belly and it was cute but they didn't give too much of an evil glare as I passed the. 

The Cycle back and go to 

Now, this was actually a bit hotter since the heat was getting less wind and more well heat, so it was giving the vibe of how it was going to be one exhausting section home, now at this point, I still had no part of the text sorted either,  But I cycled there and it was then the same couple there as I left which was an iPhone X screen to be replaced. But I got them boxed and PAid and in the rucksack 

Then it was time to cycle back but going via Woolwell it turns out it had something special. Tango Ice Blasts. Which a PRemier offers it. and we cycle to  that, which was right by a car park. I parked by the Bars near the Centre before getting to walk to the shop. 

The Bike and Bars

The Park is grass o burnt gold

But then it was to get to the shop. There was a queue for the post office part and that was like only 1 or 2 people in there for the most part. But then after paying money into my personal card, I got to ask what sizes of Ice blast were offered and I went for a regular £3.00 one and that was quite big for that price. I walked out with glee. 

The Tango Ice Blast

I then sat by the bike and slurped on it and it was the painful sinus brain freeze I had for that in the end and it was a good 5 minutes for me to recover from that and then the taste was hitting me so lush and fucking hard, I liked it and it was to stay there for a good few hours on the way home after this. But it made me realise how nice this drink was even if it's been years since having it. But it was eventually nearing the 15:45 mark and time to finish and cycle, keeping the Cup in my rucksack. 

slurping on the ice blast 

Finished it mate 

Then it was time to cycle back home via a mini cold shop to lidl. Which for me was to take a back road which was going to be a whopping 25 minutes. 

The Burnt cycle to Lidl 

As I started to make my way from the park, passing the back or behind a gate to then cycle on the road to get to the back of woolwell and then even down a mini shortcut which actually gets me to the road near the main one and three down to Bickleigh before a sharp left which was a heat burning cycle up a hill. But by the time I got to the road to Clearbrook, it was about the 25 minutes mark which I would love to have had the electricity working since it would have made it much easier to get the hills tackled for that sharp turn. But eventually, after about 1 hour 10 minutes due to the lucky down hills, I got to lidl.

Shopping in Lidl, 

So When I get there, it was time to get here bike locked up and the mask on before I  managed to get some small bits of shopping in since I was craving lime juice as well as the Chuppa Chips Cherry Drink flavour tub which the orange one is quite nice to have on that side of things. But that was also making sure I found the lime juice which had actually 2 bottles of lime juice left. 

The Lime juice 

But then it was more to find and the chuppa chips were found and also Vitamin C tablets. But was also to then remove something else to keep it under the £3 mark before leaving, Which total I ended up going for £2.93 in the mini shop. . Then I ended the vlog there before the cycle home.

The £2.93 shop from Lidl. 

A Selfie before the ride home

Then it was the hot cycle back up the hill and the strain from the final 2 hills always gets me and tired me out for the most part. But that ended up meaning a WELL deserved mild warm to Cool shower.  But that was for the BEREAL vibe which is always good to keep an eye on. 

The Real Shower I was about to have before having tea

Conclusion.

So that was the end of the day minus having a bit of dinner of some Burgers which added some nice bits like Cereal, also Burger sauce in another bap too, which was convenient due to the fact the shop I just been on I added in some burger sauce too. 

The Burgers with the extras 

But it alas made me have to block a number for one of the reasons I went over to Plymouth in a theory, albeit it, I'll regret not fully blocking it later on and following this irl crushes rules on how to use the spread coming. But how long the blocking would last is a spoiler of not very long indeed. Plus with a phone call earlier on Wednesday, I got my supplier to stick with me about this too since it could be a DA device and that's not good at all. 

But for now, it's time to get to sleep while typing this up 4 days later after more mistakes from last week might be repeated. Plus it's just over 1 month before life will get stressed belong belief 

see you soon. 

Working and commitments - Lockdown Stage 5

Well another 3 weeks nearly gone since the previous catchup and things have been very quiet in some ways and well new friendships have been born in another way of nearly wasted time.

The first thing we start to learn before the changes introduced in June is actually a new quick omracer's tutorial on how to fit an SSD into a NUC which I had to do for work so to make it easier and fun for things to work out.





But that week was a clear sign of working and things to come to fruition since there were rumours of a new laptop to actually review (the Xiaomai 6 Pro with an MX350 which is a cut-down version of the GTX 1050 so it can be for video editing) So that was to be waiting for a good offer.  There was also the talk of more reviews were to be planned out. Especially as over £20 trainers I feel it  too expensive for what I need them for

due to the cost of those trainers being too expensive, I don't pay for shoes if over £20 https://t.co/sEVLgAZH94

Which was in between the soon to be announcements of how the lockdown was going to be eased and real-life work was starting to catch up with various more visits planned and even knowing I might have to do the deal with the bounceback devil of the Loan, but I was still unsure of the route to take for this. But for now, its dog walking in rivers and more egg bacon pasties to enjoy. Plus the laptop I was going to review arrived from Poland very quickly, but it was not the 6 Pro but the Xiaomai 5 which is one I've sold before.

also expect another laptop review next months, we'll rumour has it. pic.twitter.com/qctr6sQTwk

Maccies was soon to reopen but soon the world changed. One racist cop did something he expected was normal, and that was murdering George Floyd which he said the words "I can't breathe". Which well, that was it, the world was really about to unravel the truth which can be a scary moment but that same weekend was also some amazing shots of When a private spaceship was launched as well.

also, a person lost their life this week for something minor which he did not deserve, just because of his skin colour. the world is sometimes too cruel and people will get the justice he deserves soon

When the Space Station was passing over home 

The day after when a small flicker of light was passing by 

It was then time to enjoy some shopping from Tesco on the sunny days and working in the heat with cycling for wok which well needed and makes it easier to get the dog cooler since the times are getting harder and 

for a £11.70 shop in tesco today. Paddling pool for £3.50, £3.35 for nesquik, £2.50 buy one get 1 free on lightbulbs, £1.00 for mix berry ice lollies and £0.85 on tiger baton pic.twitter.com/82Gd0bFdwr

This was also the start of the protests of the times that will change the UK and the world with things, it was time to get quiet and knuckle down on things as well as a chap called terry was meant to nag me to join a protest but I did not get the time to due to work and well since a white guy might get nagged for being there filming it so that too. But maybe one day I might join one to see what it will entail and be a tiny change to the world.

Times are really in a place of change and maybe for better if justice is done and for worse for some, if that second peak does appear. But at least all i can do is still get things i';ve been wanting to do sorted and save for the better end of this year

But then it was June

June to start the content ish

Well, this was now crunch time of the money and the month of maybe having to get things done without knowing what might happen. But well before reviews and tutorials to start, we have to get the chance for a remake on a shaving tutorial.

also another shaving #omracerstutorials is on the way pic.twitter.com/0XSIg5qbdi

Which that was a good way to kick start a few tutorials to maker a pair of 2 videos from a series then a video of a different one then another 2 series to keep the video related goal of non-food videos.  So I might be able to tick that box off soon. But things were heard with the realisation of how it's illegal for indoor meetups which means feeding a girl is now illegal so a bit kick in the PM for love life there

You know what really feels bad. In a way its now illegal to cuddle with a girl and feed her doughnuts by hand until lockdown is over, maybe fingers crossed it will happen next year

— Mattie BLM Marker (@omracer) June 1, 2020

But as well as this its been nice to just watch some random videos of trains since well learning about things and well thats for another time. But well, thats have been between working from offline job to online, But well sometimes things can make you fall asleep quicker like traffic compared to the quietness of the countryside. But there was a spot to go walking and well, its this lovely heat we were having but June was the time it started to go away and the rain was to arrive.

The walking on the final days of the heatwave 

But Work was to be getting pout of hand for both offline and online which means not much was happening, I mean sure I did chat to one friend called drew on insta whos been to class and also is worried about another insta following of mine but well things go in different directions. Sure I got a mask I later had to give to a friend since they did not have one and also well learning about how good to get a mini-fridge for whoever I move in with as I learned how someone has made full use of theirs too, but who knows is Real on FF nowadays.

the selfie and the face mask 

It was also time to rare times to understand that years ago I had an HIV test to make sure I was safe back years ago

it's worth to get a test if you do get to . I'll admit I've not been tested since 2014 when I was hoping to pay for my first kiss. but we'll the GP told me I was rare due to being a 21-year-old relationshipless virgin that doesn't drink /straight edge back then https://t.co/xOCFaCIB5N

There was also time to go to a farm shop to get some bits and plum sauce to buy is the first-ever time.

The farm shop purcahse 

But there it goes with saying about plans to get another video sorted soon, which sadly will be for over a week. But it has been alot of growth for people and learning either better in souls or even better waistlines from what i've seen too. But well that's all I can hope for others I care about and also how i've changed in 6 months since things happening in the good sense and bad. 

.

But it was near the weekend and well knowing soon I'll have to check on a plan to get things working which will make sure I have to stay focused and even accounts to happen soon. But well it was nice to get a Sunday quick breakfast.

for breakfast today. a ham, salad onion and teriyaki cookie sandwich pic.twitter.com/kWqWpt4aNR

— Mattie BLM Marker (@omracer) June 7, 2020

Then it was a plan after some work to get a day in the life video going, especially as people have been asking about it, which at the same time I got to chatting to someone but well it's not really a genuine one in all honesty. but a good friend on Facebook I've been helping out with things recently too.  Plus it was time to compare food too

But then it was time for more visits and late lunches

Atlus then decided to release P4G in less than a week of rumours appearing and then it was a day in the life vlog to sort. It was a nice test in 4k since i've had to do shoutouts for Henry and Chris.





It was a fun one to edit, i've downloaded some nice remixes I get to use and editing too up 40GB of space too, But it was that and chatting to the roleplay of more reality questioning. Times were soon to be busy as the PS5 was announced as well it had to leave ideas on the future for the main work I do but that and it was soon finally time to have my first Chinese takeout since March.

The first takeout since lockdown began, click and collect as well

Then it was more working online and planning commitments for the future in small ways before it came to Sunday and a nice afternoon out with the family to the allotments to Pick berries and explore nature. Even seeing an owl for the first time on eye level is astounding, 

Greenhouses and Rosie 

the blurry Beatle  

Redcurrants 

Thats where I picked them from

This is one owl 

Amazing green in  a tucked park of the local area

As time goes, it was nice to hopefully take friends down here if she ever wanted to go and also knowing on hard choices I might have to make in the future especially with weddings but I will get to that later. At the same time, I realised its hard to build friendships back up with knowing what to say and well that will be another choice I have to make too. 

but as June is on the 15th and as well the ease of lockdown is getting more expanded, the new normal will soon return and minus gammons being gammons and also the shopping having crowds, times will be the expected test to see how things go before we can. 

All I can say is that choices will affect us all and well we have to hope for the best.

omracer's Holiday: The Cracking London Day out

Well, this part of the holiday is now over, with the silvers tine event sorted, everything packed up and the antics to travel to the next airbnb, it was time this was going to be the Top Weekend ., then vlog Is below.

Insertt vlog here

The packing morning, 

Well it was another 5am wakeup, but I forced myself to sleep until 6:20 until I actually got up then. I then starred to upload the vlog from yesterday. Since it actually is more stable on Youtube then it is uploading trailers to twitter. I then got showered and packing done. Then it was a pineapple gfuel ting, with cold water from the bathroom. Downed a bit of it.

Selfie before I get up

The laptop and the packing

Pineapple Gfuel (Only drunk 2/3rds and drank the otherone when i got to the airbnb)

Packing done

 I said hi and part goodbyes to the host and enjoyed the puppy one last time. Then it was the airbnb book to fill in before the final pack and the plug to find which was the bottom of the suitcase. But then I started to run back to Buckingham.

The book writing 

The run in the sun.

This was the knackering run, but now I had that shortcuts, I thought it would of made it easier for me, but I pelted,  with the sunglasses from trust from yesterday came in handy, even with sweat.

The selfie before going

Running on crossroads....again

It was a 38 minute run, the shoes were the ones I used from the half marathon which was a year ago today. Bug they handles welled minus nearly tripping up a few times. Passing alpaca farms and also therapy centres, I made it to Buckingham 3 minutes before the coach to Milton Keynes was to arrive :).

Insetg pics here

The coach of calls

In the way back to Milton keynes, I check my voicemails with both milbiel and yay and it worjws a treat and called a few reps from the event yesterday. Which got some titles in and time to order as well as a secret order. Another £6.00 ticket

Insert pics here

The manic Milton Keynes

Oh fuck, here we go, I get in to the station after unloading from the coach, then just as I get to the platform a train was about to leave, I pelted to it to platform 2, then it left, then repeated for another platform and it lefts then I walked my way to the shops outside and it was expensive, except the little shop nearby that had drinks for a quid but then it was 10:07 and I missed it. FUCK. So it was the. Having to wait around for the train at 10:47 which ended up going at 10:52. But there was a can of Rubicon for £1 which was ok.

The £1.00 can of Rubicon

I then called nan and also typed this up before getting in the train. This was OK and busy at the same time, luggage was full and eventually a lady with a dell sat on a chair with a rabble next to what seemed to be a journalist, so I got a seat row to myself and finished typing this up before getting to the station by 11:25. Also a girl smiled at me and she along with the guys in the seat in front of me, about one friend that gets a call if the queen dies, no if or buts, if that phone rings, the queen is dead.

The views

Every closer

Getting off at Euston

That and the airbnv now said that 7pm is the check-in time so it was 7 hours to kill in London as well. Ooops, so I now has a chance to explore some places, but first to get to the lockers at Waterloo. I hope they ain't expensive.

Around here was where I decided to get the locker found

The run in London 

Oh yes, this was hetic, now what was happening here was that I found our the lockers at Waterloo would be £12.50 for the pwrious I needed, um fuck that. So a big of googling showed me a shop using Citylocker, this was £6.00 for 24 hours. So I decided to RUN to that shop near Lambeth north, of this was not the best idea. Like I ran on roads, bumped into people, ran through a protest, took pics every bow and theb. But after taking a few wrong turns I managed to get there in 42 minutes. It was not too hard to find once I was on the right road.

Now we can check on what 

The road to the shop

The Distance from Euston to the shop with a rucksack and luggage

Exploring in a heatwave

The first reward was for me to have a slushie, like that would work and I was near a namco funscape, which exactly had what I wanted, after exploring it and the way there, with berry fanta as well.  when I got in and eventually explored It came to £2.50 for a paw cup, which was a 568 ml bottle. That was just sensational and £1 refills actually made it cheaper than others.

Big Ben under construction

The £2.50 Paw Cup slushie

Casual quick Selfie

The refill for £1.00

Then after that refill, I walked out and slurped it when browsing the London eye, the food underbelly festival and then wandered my way to convent garden, which after chats on smoothies and a guy not really having a phone case for the Redmi 4, things turned sour as I browsed..

Part of the London Eye

Ice on the hands is soo Good

Setting up Marathon bits

Busy Crowds

More Busy Crowds at Covent Garden

The phone slipped out of the xaee and cracked the 2.5d gorrilla glass, oh fuxk, I was lucky it didn't damage anything major but that's typical luck, so after finding a toilet which I didn't go in since its £1.00 entry. I walked my way to oxford street and oxford circus.

The crack

Paying £1.00 to go toilet, Nope

Covent Garden in the Clear

More Roads to walk across

Now this was good, sure there was topshop and also a phone shop, so I managed to find a £10.00 case and the chap designed a new 3.5mm jack in the case which solves the reason I ended up making the phone crack.

The new case for £10.00

Topshop

The I managed to find american candy stores, with kool aid for £0.99, fanta berry for £1.99 and other snacks, it tempted me but spending £21.5 so far in London is a bit much really. So I walked out,

Tall Buildings

Walking on my way

missing the holographic shoes

American Candy <3 td="">

£0.98 for 2 cartons of KA

I then made my way to Hyde park to rest my feet. It was a long walk, but worth it to rest my feet, even with seeing security hassling a guy and the dog was warning him away which is a safe move. But I for to Hyde park about 3:45 and then rested for an hour, even with 420 and a hashman of some sorts, Glass had died by this point and I didn't want to wire a powerbank to myself

Entering the park

Looks like a Hashman of sorts

By about 4:35pm, I started to make my way to somewhere else popular that I missed out on. The place with all of those screens. But since it was 420, OMFG that park was lit with pot and also raving, like even with police around, nothing could easily stop this hype, I meant it was hot, exciting, different artists were there and also it really showed the appreciation for weed. But then we walked on to the famous locations, well the Palace, which was packed and also TV crews were really building up, but it was the same soon enough...

Crowds

Wait, what the

Oh, its a DJ

More crowds in the Sun

Statues

The famous Palace

With another statue

The Lake

I walked my way via Pall Mall, cops were everywhere, cars with "HM protection" were on, I then walked on and went up to Piccadilly circus, but the Tesco there was MANIC, so I walked in and glad i didn't buy. But then it was the sights of the places that really do show off what London is about.

The road was closed off

Choatic Pall Mall

Piccadilly Square it is 

Oooh,

Thats a nice view

Also Koolaid for £0.30

A theatrical run back to the luggage

This was amazing how many shows were on in different places, like I don't have time to see them sure, but if i did, i would have to explore one or 2. They looked ideal to spend and evening, but instead it was nearing 6pm so I had to make my way back to the luggage shop, which that was a few minutes, with achy feet, with more crowds, drinkers EVERYWHERE, the sun does not stop this city AT ALL. But within a while, I made it so far

Lego World

M&M world right opposite

This store will be important

Although a shop I will be looking at more, this chap outside goes to me and "mat if i give you a £10, can you get me bulmersred, I swore at the till guy and he's banned me", I was reluctant at first but now, I got it down and he got the change and walked away after a handshake.

The bulmers for £3.29 (his own money)

Then it was getting all knots of directions with Google maps (most of the day really) but it sent me round back roads, I managed to get there, the chap forgot to give me the tag which he asked for, but he knew it was me. I then got it back and it was to the Airbnb. 

Getting back

The Evening Airbnb find.

Another find of the maps of Google, I kept passing where I was meant to go, I passed into a quick shop and the chap was "please don't bring your bag back in with you", which means I can shout at him if i leave it outside and goes missing when i come out, I didn't say it but very close to. Then some guys laughed as I shouted "fuck I got the wrong direction". But then I got to it, it looked like a old business hub or even like a kids care home, but ringing the call button didn't work, I whatsapped the host and then i watched her, she walked out, a big cutie indeed, jean bulge, round face and lovely to chat to. She showed me the room and the shower, toilet, kitchen, it was far apart and it was nice that she gave me a towel as well. Bless her, front key and all. She asked how long i was for and I told her the plans. She giggled and smiled. Then she left me to it.

A rush for Fanta Elderflower

Now that shop I had to buy the Bulmers Red from, That also had a 1.75L bottle of Fanta Elderflower, most people have no idea its that and its "Blue Fanta" since it has a foreign name on but I got one and will probably get another for mum on the way back, gifting shopping etc tomorrow. But then it was also tesco which had a deal on for not 1, but 4 bottles of Apple and Raspberry Water for £1.50, which that is a steal in London, so I bought it and ran back to the Airbnb. Passing this, was also a 24/7 food van with slush for £1.50 or £2.00 for a large. Tempting tomorrow that might be. 

And that is is, the day is done and getting it up will be the push but tomorrow will probably be a quiet blitz of it at one point. But for now, hot dreams
