The Windy Selling Stolen Bike

with a Thursday off in January, it was time for that monthly visit, this time I did have to sell something which wasn't important or too expensive but still something of some value. Then it the stress of the bike being stolen just as I get to pick it up to cycle back :@. The vlog is below

Inset vlog here


After the memories coming out on Monday, it was nearing a pretty normal week I work which allowed me to get done what was needed and also long home visit with bt Home Hub 2 routers stopped working in three different places in this week. that and I had to order the HDMI to VGA adaptor which wasn't too expensive either at £12.  but today I decided to finally rid myself of some DJ decks I paid £70 used for, they were lovely but for me, I didn't have time to use them anymore and getting some extra money for them is a nice send off. Also my dad was nagging about my diet which ok isn't perfect but it's not like I'm doing nothing all day .


The morning 


I woke up after fapping as usual and got a hot shower in, with the hot chocolate shower gel and the head and shoulders, it refreshed me he getting up and then email checking and the like before getting the bike out and the long ride began,

Passing into redrow

The trail, also the part me and rosie walked to from grnofen earlier this week



As I left it was a windy day with them pushing me back at certain parts of the journey along with the traffic being Cal until plymouth which the real nightmares began.

The cruising on the road


As I was passing to derriford, which has had roadworks delayed by WWII grenades, I had to cross roads and then stick to the left all the time, easier but more risky, but I got into the flyer for the first time which felt so much easier and luckily the traffic was not that bad on it until outland road had major roadwork chaos to deal with. But that passed. Eventually after 1 hour 44 minutes, i was by drakes Circus

The bike in the final moments

The visit


I got in and went to Drakes circus for a pee then primark to see how the cheap jean offers were which there were some good one that I could cut to size for £5.00. I saw jeorgia as I walked in, she did smile a smirk at me before the jeans were tempting them I left. As I walked out, my goal was to CEX first to see how much that deck was worth, which i went in and hardly queues for the first time and the rep served me and quoted me £38 cash or £54 CEX credit, which i said I'll have a think, but went to wants afterwards, I went in there and asked, he quoted the same so I went to home and after usual checks, i get paid £38 cash for it and left.

The it as the usual wader around i shops , Sony, markets, nerdz, bright House, cash converters, maplin, hmv, game. There were aplenty. Then it was poundland which has it £0.50 sale and that was slightly tempting but I will be back there. Same with poundworld, which had the same offers.

The views of Town
Then it was into apple, which browsing was nice and the rep tried to help me buy a macbook for £1,000 since it's £100 off (10%). Again that would be tempting but way much for me to justify. So I left and made my way to the hoe.

As I was running to my usual spot, I saw some old customers of mine and waved, then the wind was strong up there, so it was a gentle walk down, passing construction of the union bistro and then to the Rock. I vlogged and typed up for half hour or so before leaving when there were this couple doing a photo shoot so I glared at that normal page 3 style beauty but didn't get any 😍 out of it. The wind was no chill of the nice kind at this point


Lovely Stormy views from the wind

More views oif the See

A selfie


The waves were strong

A photoshoot was happening just as i left

Then I walked my way to town to get the cables, I looked in the first poundland by the POWWOWTV and didn't buy from there due to the queues. So I went to the second poundland and that had the cables I needed and also I bought some aloe vera juice and chicken soup which was £0.50 each. £4 the cost came to in the end.

The items for £4


Then it was time to head home but I Looked in Game and HMV one last time before walking to the bike and ......IT was gone. Well fuck me that was a not good moment, I was calm about it but still it's not ideal. So I walked up to the police station opposite Starbucks.

The Bike has gone....


I got there and waited and after 5 minutes, a lady appeared, she asked how can I help and I reported the bike, some guys came in and she thought they were with me and got asked in then she said for me to pop in and I did and then we went through the form, it's mostly been described except the serial number i never got was asked which means I had to call the place I got it from, which they were closed anyway. But I eventually got the reference number and left. I went and checked the bike park out before giving Dartmoor Cycles a call which was unavailable. "You cannot leave a message" as i called them via FreedomPop which worked fine

The park and the bikes were still gone

Then I pelted it to get the bus and just as I was getting to Mutley, I saw it, the number 1 and ran like a bolt and luckily there was busy traffic and red lights which delayed him and got me on the bus. Paying £4.80 for a single and then typing this up, it made things seem better but I know that bike has been nothing but problems from punctures on the way to an exam, lights breaking to chains dying so maybe this was the sign that it was not the bike for me.

The traffic was busy, but by 17:30, the traffic was back to normal and I was on the way home. I got off by lidl and then decided to vlog it a day and then check if Dartmoor Cycles was open but knowing the time, i was too late. Or so i Thought, it turns out, they were open until 6:30 and I asked but they had to delete old records which means they don't have the Serial Number. So it might be the end of it. I told my parents and they were feeling the same as me,"its gone now and nothing can be done about it, you won't get it back".

Well that's that then, another day and this year has a bad taste to January, but let's see what happens and hope for luck

A Late Fall browse

Well, November it is. And with this really nice weather down Devon way but bad for for up north and a day off, it was time I did something I was actually meant to do last week, cycle to Plymouth. So with the weather like it was, I went.

Note: there is no vlog for this, just a blogpost and some of the pics are missing due to me being an idot and not backing up some of the pics via glass :/, But here goes.

A bright morning rush

So, 7:30 the usual alarm goes off and then it was the browsing the internet and social stuff like always, but during the morning the phoine rings twice, first is a customer of dads then its some 0800 number, so it made me talk much longer to fap before getting up, and that was about 9:40am. 

After getting up, I walked rosie around the estate then she went in her cage nicely and i got prepped with phone, glass, tablet, GPS on phone, and powerbanks, by 10:35 I was ready to leave.
The distance there

The journey starts

Just about to leave

Traffic Jams



A view from the park

Exploring a busy bright City Centre

So, getting in about 1 hour 42 minutes later and I park my bike near M&S as usual then wander up tro the food court for a toilet, I did have to wait for about 3 minutes before I could actually have a piss. Once I did then it was to primark which didn't have much then i just wandered, not much actually happened except a few things:
  • No reduced jeans in Primark
  • HMV was really cutting on its games
  • Game had only 1 row of Vita games, which i was looking for WipEout 2048
  • Mcdonald's was pretty packed, so was kfc
  • Those linx tablets were £70 ish+ used, someone was selling one for £120 used once on fb last week (alex something), lol wut
  • Poundland were out of bluetooth adapters, BOTH stores
  • Theres a new subway by Zeus's Restaurant
  • Some 1155 CPUs in CEX at ok prices.
Soon I wandered into Shoe Zone and tried some cheap £9.99 trainers on, they fit nicely, so i bought them, it was nice chatting to the staff rep to, said about moving into a market stall and i get a weekend off (sunday + monday). 

The white trainers for £9.99
Then exploring got me just well, exploring. Going into the apple store and a chinese customer was saying how the chinese price for a Macbook Air 256GB is £100 cheaper in PRC than over in the UK, that is a VAT blame i here. Then some girl was boasting on her £300 a month benefits and the apple rep was saying barclays require applicants for finance to have to work at least 16 hours per week, i was looking at refurbished macs since my sister is looking for one, maybe a Christmas present then i saw the apple refurb, £800 your having a laugh. But there was a non metallic MB for £99.95 in Wants and maybe that with a 120GB SSD would be ideal for her but its old and she will get annoyed at it, it doesn't app store legit go up to 10.10 let alone 10.11 thats out now.

Then it was nearing 3:15 and i was going to go to the hoe but I ended up buying WipEout 2048, it took 20 minutes to actually buy it due to the queue, but for £12, i can now enjoy WipEout 2018 on the PS TV :D. 
Bought for £12 from CEX
Then I did one last walk to the Asian shop and managed to find seaweed (you know, like make your own crispy seaweed), so i bought that and a bottle of Aloe King for £5.48 in total. £2.99 for the Cweed and £2.49 for the 1.5 L Aloe King original flavour.
The Frozen C weed and Aloe Vera King Original

A sunsetting ride home


Then I walked back to the Bike, seeing the weather get brighter for a nice sunset and Ijust as i was about to go, my phone decided to shut off, a reboot later and by 4:05 i'm cycling on the north hill and to home. The Rucksack was wearing on my back, the traffic was busy and the darkness was setting in, but by 6pm, I got home safely, having to use the EE powerbar as a torch through the tunnel and glass shut down from yelverton onwards :/.
Traffic Lights 

A breeze through mutley, passing memories of a flat i used to pop into to see someone special

Nearing the flyover

A satnav on glasses when cycling near the George

Theres a sunset here, oooh theres a bike mode on Glass too
After getting in, I found tea was ready which was jackets and chilli, Which was nice and my legs were stiff and still feel stiff after typing this. Then i had to forget to back the pics and luckily recovered some of them you see here, I had to retake some others too. 

Now a special week late is going to happen, 3 vlogs, 2 blogposts and this will be awesome and fun and maybe some feeding in one too. But for now, i've got too days of being a market trader again and a visit to my nans, i might twitch some 2048 but maybe tomorrow.
