Its been a nice day off for a change, okay I didn't do much but its a quick catch up since the big night out last Sunday..
A Productive morning.
Now this is a wakeup after a reasonable sleep. Sure it was a day off and after internet checking and fapping and waking up, my alarm (second one)) went off then it was to get some stuff done for a project I will announce later on in the Year. While that was going, I made a smoothie and put washing on the line until my sister arrived and then we both set off for Tesco before going back to her place.
heading into Tesco.
As we walked around, we found what we needed t, Malteasers were too small, Lime Pickle was £1 and A posh carrot cake for £2. I also looked at the gaming section too, PSN and steam were selling pretty quickly. Then it was to my sisters flat. I got in there, a strong smell and then the pug was excited to see us and then after picking up bits, it was off to my nans.
We got there after chatting, Capital FM listening and sun around us. It was about 11:30.
The hours at relatives.
Then we caught up and chatted. My sister and nan did some foot pedicure and me and Granddad sorted out his android box and casting from one device to another. Then it was time to have lunch served while we were checking facebook. We watched BBC news which had full coverage of the attacks which is still a traumatising event and solidarity is the best to do at these times. It was a simple Fish, chips and ketchup.
The lunch
Then it was that carrot cake and more talking and catching up before relaxing on the sofa and watching the local news until we left around 1:50. But just before, my grandad did a painting of my sister's dog and so a few pics of that ensured.

A hot afternoon
Me and her chatted then got home and I had some thing to try out which took until 3:45 which then I decided to walk rosie in the hot weather. It was quite nice but Rosie kept losing the ball and one field was really tall while the usual was quite nice. So after 15 minutes, she was tired and we walked back.
tired or waiting for the ball.
Once i got back, I chillaxed and chatted until 4:50 which then i started typing this up. But I did make a nice Ham roll inbetween that. Lime pickle, Onion, Mars bar included.

Then it was 5:40 and shopping was done with Mum and sister back, which then lead to a salad for tea when my dad got home. We were going to have it outside but instead inside was better due to the wind that was strong. It was a massive salad based meal.

A #Dogwalkingwithomracer evening.
As time went on and the meal ended, My sister left and my parents went to see the dad's side of the family before his birthday. So i did a dogwalking with omracer. All the way up to the mast. With rosie biting my left show to the point of having to take my shoe off to the lovely sunsets and people walking on the street. Oh and i saw a hare in a field as well as a dead squirrel on the road. I left about 7:45 and got back at 9:45 ish.

And thats it, another quick blogpost done, sure nothing happened and also sure that my love life has pretty much gone to a halt and work has gotten busier, but i will get more days out vlogs done soon. but for now, its a bank holiday weekend to enjoy.
WEll this is one of those impulse posts. Since I had to get a mothers day present, the dog needed her walk and also since it was pretty wet and raining, it was no point in getting the bike out to do a Cycle to Plymouth for the Present. So for a change, I decided to walk to a Garden Centre called Long Ash and have an idea or even buy Presents there along with have a quick lunch then come home. The vlog is below:
The way there:
As i was finishing a Nutella, Crisp and BBQ sauce Sarni for breakfast, I decided that I HAD to get a Mother's day Present today, which since it was nearing the 10:30ish time, Walking Rosie had to be done which gave me this idea. So getting the Redmi 4 on charge then to change into walking gear before leaving at 11ish.
The Breakfast
Then Once I got rosie started, I walked on with her and it wasn't too rainy but that changed once I got past Gem Bridge and onto Horrabridge then the Moors.
Walking past the Football Ground again
Heading onto the Trail

Once it got past this, the weather was starting to be a little bist nastier, the moors was boggy and mud was everywhere, Luckily my cut jeans meant that it was higher than normal jeans, but it was soon nearby since I was passing 3 horse riders who then galloped along like what films show off in a Western chase scene. Which I turned left and to my Surprise, I made it in less than 2 hours.

The long ash act
Once I got there, I had to tie up Rosie, that was a big mistake since she REALLY DIDN'T like being left on her own, she howled and barked at everything and I could hear her when browsing inside, which if this was a crowded place, she could of gotten nicked, so I know i can't do things like this much now. But after umming and hmming and nearly dropping the Present before buying them, I managed to buy 2 things for £29.98 which was both £14.99 each and one was a Tin and one was a set of 3 pots for plants which had a tray with it.
The pots and the Tin
Now As i got back, Rosie was excited as anything, jumping up, wagging tail, it was nice but she really did miss me for those moments, and then she started biting my shoe as punishment, karma is my bet here. But then it was to the resturant on the other side which had people in there already. So me and Rosie sat down and she wanted me around her, I looked at the menus which had some reasonable prices for people who understand you have to spend more if you want to eat. For me, it made me find a budget of £5 and stick to it, which I did in the end.
The Drinks Meni
So, I got the water from another table for Rosie to sip and gulp, then I went inside and ordered my drink and food, which came to £4.90 :) xD. That meant I can manage a budget meal out, A kid's portion bacon sandwich and Cawston PRess Apple Juice. Which that was a short wait for. While waiting, one of the waitresses was chatting to me and Rosie and it reminded her of her old collie she had and fed Rosie a treat, she was content with that which was nice of both of them really. But then it was a quick toilet break and just as i was about to tweet pictures, It arrived.
The meal which looked nice, or so i Thought.
Now one secret with me telling the waitress for NO BUTTER for this and that was written down on her note, but sadly it was a "my bad" and butter appeared. After debating to get it changed, I did which meant a nice short wait before being able to eat the nice sarni and extras for that £3.65. It then arrived and it was amazing.
The meal with NO BUTTER.
Now that was eaten and I really did enjoy that, which was actually finished in about 4 minutes on the vlog, but then it was time to pack up and head off home. But the rain had picked up and that meant cold hands....
Leaving Long Ash
The wet walk home.
Now this is where things got a bit ugh. The walk itself was ok, but at the beginning when Rosie wants to play ball, she was almost out of my sight with it which is dangerous af, so I put her on the lead and we walked our way back to old station Road which then meets the Railway Line to get home on. That was muddy as anything, and Rosie was pulling and I nearly slipped but a lout shouting to stop made her stop nicely, even with the tail down. But then it was the Railway line which was nice and easy, but my dad called at a surprise
The journey back
and was astounded as to where i was and actually really pissed at me for saying no for him to pick me up and me to walk home with Rosie in the "heavy" rain. I feel sorry for the guy for saying no but then again I've gotten used to people telling me no when I offer but he gets sensitive about this, bless him.
Then it was more walking and rain and eventually it was Passing schoolkids by the Redrow estates and also Bishopsmead which Rosie didn't take too much notice off and after the 2 big hills, I was home, Home at 3:55 ish and relaxed and then it was the end of that.
