A Pouring Rain Boxing Day

Well here we go again, it's the other side of the family this year and boy will this be a bit of a show of not truth-telling and causal puppy jokes. But this time we don't know what to expect.

The morning 

Well, I woke up about the usual alarm times, but it was then time for a chat and a listen to voice notes from redacted to make sure she was okay. But also last night was an ASOS to the rescue and being called a lifesaver, but then I got up and listened to music to clear my head. Then it was 9:30 and chores to get done, we start by the nose peg and the cat to clean in the litter tray and feed. But then we deal with the fact of letting him our but finely does not like harness, this was a panic of the times for sure but mum got him in the end.

The litter tray

He managed to eat more after coming in from the rain 

Then we finish uploading pics off of the day before and then a shower and directly before leaving at 12:30. Eventually, we got to the blacksmith about 12:40 and then we greeted my sister and her boyfriend.

The Blacksmiths

Then we greeted the family and it was a nice pint of water to start off with first. But I was having to sort out customers on the second job and then gone in and it was time to catch-up. Well actually it was small conversation lite here and there such as the cat and then hearing things from golf to footy and little other chats, I wasn't involved in much which is okay, Then we ordered and it was a Madras for a change which makes all the sense for Christmas but it also had a nice ring to it since it was more of the chance to enjoy something different. But then it was still a wait, it was cute a tablet was used for a menu since it makes it easier to read. But eventually, the food arrived

The chicken madras with salad and chips. about £8.5 this costs 

Then we trucked in the Madras and chips were lovely and it was like the chicken tikka web from Morrisons indeed. But we trucked in the chips with soft not soggy, but it was nice to listen to stories and it got me ideas if the way to do even a new one me to go new York with christea since she told me she loves it there.


But then it was time to finish off the meals and a toilet and drink break for dessert, I  noticed s of my own customers there, he starred but didn't say much.  Then by the time I came back, we still had to see where things were of the deserted Andi went for lemon and white chocolate cheesecake, when it arrived soon later, oh my god it was soo good.

The cheesecake and ice cream. Lemon and White Chocolate 

The food was really nice and well it makes a ton of sense, the lemon and white chocolate on a big slab of whatever cheesecake is, plus ice cream dangerous I know but it didn't add too much to it. But shortly after it was 14:50 and it was then time to drive off to get to my uncles, which there was a stop before this regarding laying a wreath over my nans grave, it was a moment of wet but well.

The wet graveyard

Then it was a wet drive and well my sister and boyfriend got lost on the way to the cornish middle but after a few WhatsApp messages and alas it didn't happen. We got there about 4pm-ish and then it was settling down. Then I and my cousin handed out presents.

The drive 

There were some good presents, like the rucksack but actually, it was nice to have money in the end as well There was a boots card too but sadly boots aren't for me and £25s worth of sexual health bits is not a good idea, to be honest. But then it was time for the early or right time buffet which was a nice mix of Gammon crisps, potato salad, sausage rolls and more.

The tea for that night

Then it was talking and catching up and also then it was time to talk about the gossip from Both the first and second Holidays I had. they were shocked I ran from victoria to Euston plus go to Silverstone twice Plus Colindale and also the Indian takeout and the dead suitcase. My mum said this "its amazing how he can go on his own and explore these things" and also knew London more than my cousin who lives there did was another joke. Like he didnt knows what creams were.

But eventually, it was nearing the mark of 6:45 and we all decided it was time to end and go home. Which we did say our goodbyes for another year which well for some would be the only time we meet but there always can be things building up towards this being the last time we do things like this. But we all got things and got into the car and then drove off and it was the rain and floods as well as the night sky.

But then we got home by 7:20 and then it was time to relax and well reflect that Xmas is over, well sure the cat was being nasty and also a special omracereats video was soon to be filmed.

The car

What I got from present wise

A leftover night snack of pumpkin pie, turkey, crackers, strawberry cheesecake and mayo

Then it was a bath while typing this up and i've really gotten weary in the past few days, yes it means I can't make money via the support job but i've been gaining up to 3 to 4 am for things to be done so the body is crashing up with me.

But we shall see each other in 2019 for one last MASSIVE review of the year with 4 months to type up as of Now. Which is alot of that is the deepest 4 months i've ever had and in a good way too. But well there is luck I can take some more days off between now.

But we will see you on the last day of 2019.

Christmas 2016: The Early Carvery Family Moment

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

A carvering windy boxing day

Well its the 2nd day of celebrations, time has felt a bit slower than usual. but a different change in time by going to the George. the weather was better than yesterday which is a bit of a smiler and it was time to enjoy a new thing-ish. oh and this is the first and last Saturday I've had off work for 2 years actually, which maybe that is why it feels different .

A calm prepping up  

well after a normal wake up alarm and also another relaxing fap and also that vision of kissing someone again, I got up at 9:40 ish and my parents were walking Rosie, so I had some hoovering to get done, so watching YouTube subscriptions while getting it done, funny when I realised that the Santa outfit I was wearing last year waas still around, the jacket was anyway, this was watching Alex's vlogmas days.

after that my nan was on the phone and she said a house was on fire at Bere Alston and someone might of died, that was a worry, so we caught up in chat just as my sister arrived back home from a  night with her boyfriend's family.

she nagged me about drinking her pure apple juice as a present, but then chatter happened and I t was time for a shower, with trying lynx peace shower gel, it was OK for a blue looking gel. but that was done and the cat escaped to the garden too.

then it was teeth cleaning and changing, since my parents just got back and then it was getting new jeans which I got from yesterday, they were really loose but that's ideal, then a nice shirt, white trainers and it worked nicely

The selfie before leaving, auto timer got the phone to work with the selfie strick

Well by 12 we got in the car and drove to the George, which was a nice chatter while Taylor swifts new album was blasted. the journey was really quick and by 12:20 we got to the George. walking to the pub was OK but the wind was bustling.

Entering the George

A Carvery Catch up and eat

Well we walked in and greeted each other, then it was chatter and just general catching up which was actually quite nice, sure it was awkward talking about work in some respect and listening in while my hands were by my legs. but it was nice to be around.

the first bit of fun came to order, the rep forgot who ordered what but we managed to get the starters set, the soup was tomato and red pepper, which was nice to go with the salmon I ordered as a starter. it was really nice. people were hmming about getting it, one rep was really nice and offered to pour it for them. but I decided to have a bowl, it was really nice and not too much of a kick. when I was pouring, a cute bbw waitress with a tattoo on her right arm smiled at me and offered me something, I decline whatever it was, since  I didn't know what  it was.

The salmon, salad, butter and bread

Pouring the Tomato and Red Pepper soup

Then when that was all over, the usual rep said if there were any changes to the menu we prebooked. there were a few changes,,but mostly all for the cavery, so I went up and others followed, with meat and amazing crackling along with decent veg and sides, except burnt Brussels sprouts then I topped up with a shitload of horseradish as well as some gravy. Oh and then we pulled crackers out as well that were on the table, some good jokes but i got a comb with mine.

The meal from the george, Gammon, Beef, Potatoes, Brussel Sprouts, Red Cabbage, Pork Crackling, Horseradish and Gravy

Then it was a loving amount of food and crackling was crunchy, I nearly felt my teeth breaking but the food was soooooo gooood. the Yorkshire pudding was nearly hanging off me. but the food was filling and tasty so that was nice. I did have to get a glass of water near the end to help finish the meal off.

A glass of water

Later on everybody was getting full, chatting about various topics from an extra and it was nearly time for deserts, people were changing their minds and I was also OK with getting my usual chocolate brownie, after a mini wait, it was time to eat since they have arrived, it was hot but delicious. Then it was more explaining what a Brownie is to my granddad's fiancée which she understood me and also there was a sundae my mum had which she loved and gave me the waffle for it as well, that crushed the brownie and it kinda stuck to the plate but it was nice to enjoy dessert with others :).

My Chocolate Brownie

By this time it was nearing 2:30 and we were all deciding it was time to go, But we didn't realise that the food was already paid for but since my grandparents were regulars, the rep didn't know which name it was booked under, personally i'm glad josie wasn't working there any-more, but that is more my feelings than any other.
Then we walked out and some chat my dad and brother had while the wind was strong, their car looked pretty swish which then we got into our own and drove off to our next port of call.

A Cornish present handout and cold buffett

This destination was on the way to calstock, so a different route was taken which was through saltash, this was passing bronti territory, talks were talks and the roads were quite busy but after a short while we finally got to the house we needed to get to, it was windy there and we were the last to arrive.

Passing the Tamar bridge

Then we got in and i had to kneel on the floor and the presents had to be unloaded by the tree, sure there were some jokes at me being soo good at handing out the presents and it was meh, but after everyone got comfy it was time to hand out the presents.

The tree with some of the bags full of presents

Now this was quite long since some relatives from Wales did give us all presents too, but i managed to be handing out in a nice manner, randomising each so it wasn't the same except it got to the same people towards the end. But there was a nice usefulness of presents from wallets to smellies to gift vouchers and even umbrellas. I ended up getting:

• A Lynx Body Collection set
• Brut aftershave
• £20 cash
• £50 Cash
• A wallet
• A £30 Amazon gift card

I thanked everyone who gave me those, its nice of them to do so, OK I'll admit that wallet was a bit awkward since i LOVE my PS1 wallet but should anything happen to it, a backup is handy. But then it was time to be served the mini party buffet to end the evening. Which this had a nice range of food, Wiltshire ham, onion rings, home-made potato salad, boiled egg, sausages, salad and some other bits. I ended up having 2 plates full while everyone else went for just one, since i didn't have dessert since none of the items like trifle and baileys meringue pie.

The meal i had before leaving for home, Salad, onion rings, ham, turkey, sausages, boiled egg and potato salad

There was some weight talk and i might of sold a Vidonn to my aunt but we'll see how that goes, but it soon was our time to go since Rosie had to be walked and my sister was at her boyfriends for tonight, so we all were deciding to leave it at that, The exit greetings and see you for 2016 sayings were here, After trying to open the gate, it was final handshakes goodbye and one went out then us, reversing and driving in the dark back for a short while through gunnislake is always somewhat calming. Then we got home and my sister's friend was just behind us and i helped unload and then unlock the door and after that, a toilet break and it was relaxing to get this up.

Unlocking the gate

A napkin that teaches the cornish language

The presents i got this time round (except the dragonwar) 

And thats pretty much how the evening went on, it was just relaxing and typing this up until 9:35 and then uploading the pics to instagram as well. There is one more point on how i got on today or the past 2 days and thats my weight, Which i found out i was 188.2 lbs. A 8lbs gain is quite a small gain considering I didn't eat as much as i was offered. But part of me thought i was going to end up 190 which would of been my highest weight since recording it on feabie in April.

The technically highest weight i've ever been

As that goes that, a nice different christmas and boxing day to what usually happens, funnily enough there hasn't been as much TV watching this year at all which means its more for bonding. But thats a final event for 2015 done and now its 2016 for new things to happen and maybe more things to come

The Boxing Day of family renuion

With the Boxing day upon us, for this guy, its usually a 2nd round of Christmas, the farther's side of the family. This can usually be tense since this year we were hosting the afternoon, but luckily its been smoother than i hoped. Well lets start this day off

A quiet Morning. 

Well, i'll admit after getting another few chapters of the audiobook up, even with my throat almost dying, i got to sleep about 1am, but you can enjoy the 2nd part below, i was speaking a bit faster but i was trying to stop coughing so it was tricky. Enjoy the next 2 chapters anyway :)

Then i slept, cosily with less hassle and maybe a messy room, i woke up after a fap over the beautiful Amy . I think it was a pizza based fantasy, then it ended when i climaxed as she waddles when going food shopping in lidl. But like that will ever happen is a joke,

The morning was more to tidy up but before that, i watched The Interview, yes that film North Korea nearly threatened the US for. I'll be fair and it does feel a bit over the top in jokes. Everyone is Homeydicking everyone from the gripe, Sure Seth falls in love and Flacco was funny being a OTT interviewer which i really felt was funny. "OMG EMEINEM is Gay"  was a headline,
It was nearing 12 and i had to get changed while a good scene was.

Getting the fragances on

The meal of reasonable quality

Then it was time for travelling to the Whitchurch Inn. The outdoors were wet and just appualing to even bother with, Seriously, it was no point if you were outside, you'll end up a wet dog. But after getting in my sisters car, the bluetooth was connected and it was blasting some ok tunes. But we got to Whitcurch, the car had to be parked by the graveyard and i got out, in the mud and then it was time to walk in there. The place was busy that was for certain, slightly cosy inside too.

Walking to the Whitchurch inn

As we got in, we were the last ones in, the family said hi, my grandads girlfriend kissed me on the cheek, i shaked hands with my cousin and others in the room. Then we chatted and said how we all were. I felt better than i thought i would. But after a nice lime and lemonade on a tab that was already started, everyone was sat down and chatter around the tables. I mean it was full of it, not all with me involved but it was nice for the most part. Sums part of it up:

• Talking about weights, trying to be less than 12 stone, alot of diet talk, jokes about bellies, i shrugged some of it off especially with the irony what i dreamt of earlier. 
• Chatter about jobs and shopping, like someone boycotting Dartmoor photgraphic from bad customer service, i hinted i sell printer ink and they wanted to see me in the shop, especially on dickensian, lucky they didn't see me with glass :/.
• Dog talk, from hi fives to even a lecture on not letting a dog eat chocolate.
• Someone i fixed a computer for was happy with that i did for them :). 
• I was offered some soup and jalapeños. Since my grandad and his girlfriend couldn't eat much, my dad didn't like much of his either :/

Then after so long and a quick piss, the time was come for a roast turkey, it looked ok, quite empty without the vegetables, but i added a short amount that was in a mini dish, Sadly the veg was hard, not elsa frozen hard but you had to make an extra bite, i wasn't too fussed but the parents were noticing it for themselves. But the gravy was tasty, i nearly got my plate clean for that.

The roast turkey as my main course. The vegetables looked good but tasted hard. the sutffing and pigs in blankets was nice :)

As everyone was eating theirs, it was nice to see some enjoyment, maybe some silence too but others had chicken and mushrooms which looked even better than what i had, i did ask for horseradish and it was nice, i didn't overdose it but i knew it was nice. It was also interesting when grandad said about how nice the George was yesterday, they had a selfie with a Czech  member of staff, i kept my mouth quiet about Josie and how i like her and even though shes moved in and all, there might be a chance, but they don't need to know about that. 

Then it was waiting for deserts, now this was a short time and even though there was confusion on who was having what, i even forgot that i was going to be having something (the menu was pre ordered weeks ago), but it turns out i had 2 chocolate brownies which were delish. The presentation was good, although grandad was unsure about why it was. The strawberry topping was a good look, maybe with seductiveness but if i was on a date, it would help the mood so much more. My mums and sisters were nice too, Bread and Butter pudding as well as a triple choc stack it was called. 

The chocolate bronwies with mini raspberries and strawberry sauce, it tasted strawberryish anyway

My mums bread and butter pudding

My sisters triple stack chocolate with custard

The tasty sweet food was nice and everyone enjoyed theirs, some were too full from earlier to eat any more and offered some to others, i was one of them but Christmas pudding with brandy isn't a thing i say yes to at all. But then it was more chatter and then time to end up having a tea and coffee, for most, it was either another beer or tea. Me and an auntie went for black coffee, granddad was surprised i don't drink milk since he said its in the marker genes, but my mum explained a bit of that (i had an illness at 1 year (a chav mother would say 12 months old) on a train to London and it was the start of my lactose intolerance which i still stick with to be safe (like staying off booze). But the coffee was hot so i used teaspoons for a while then i drank it, it felt like back in august where coffee was the thing that helped me stay up for 45 hours straight.

The coffee and biscuit, its been a month since i last drank some. I gotta not get addicted like i have with fapping about feeding recently. 

This was another short amount of time and by 2:30, it was time everyone left back to our house to get the presents done. Which after th family sorted out payment and letting someone pay since they felt bad about not paying for it last year, it was a wait in the car while my dad was visiting a old best friend from his ashed remains, he still misses him that is clear. Also this greenish car was rushing us as we were turning and waiting for dad to return. Then we drove back the main road way, with lidl shut and the rain pouring on the main road, Tavistock was dead on Boxing day. Then we got home...

An afternoon of exciting gifting. 

Arriving at a time one of the other cars was reversing into the drive, which my sister managed to park in the same place as before when she left for the pub. We all got out and then some chatter about how the car was then i walked in and opened the door and started to prep the house again. Then i helped put the presents by the TV, which was soon ready to be handed out to people (by me alone) and the joy of happiness with suprises was ready to start after everyone was ready. 

The gifts in bags and ready to be handed out. 

Now this was a long time, with many cards, heavy gift bags, giftcards, scarves, nature ideas, heck even a £20 vue giftcard for my parents. The presents and excitement were alot of fun, Rosie (that infamous puppy that forced my hand to replace cables) was excited but then was occupied by a chew and even liked my cousin alot. It was about an hour the time was taking to be a mini santa. But although some presents don't look big, they can mean more value than meets the eye.

A nice amazon gift card. Which i know might be useful for later

A nice amount of money and a dartmoor cycles voucher, this was actually because one time a pedal fell of my bike during a dark cycle back from plymouth and it ended up replaced. 

It was nice of various memebers to do that and i thanked them, since the money can pay off Glass or buy me a paysite membership or even pay for a present for someone i could win over and finally get a new years resolution come true, or just pay for a kiss. But soon afterwards it was a mini buffet to enjoy. 

A buffet of talk and taste

Now this was taking a while longer than my mum was hoping to get cooked, with the fire alarm going off and even the dog getting excited and spilling teas on jackets. But then it was nice to talk, the topics were interesting, from my works and the rent and ceiling as well as flats that stank of rice and asian food which is being knocked down, to even Plymouth and the plans for that. here a quote people might not like "if there is one ugly city i've ever been to, its Plymouth" which was related to the fact the city was redeveloped after WWII. This was after the mention of the fact bretonside was bought by the owners of Drake circus who want to build on top and the old carpark which is now demolished partly is to be a bus/coach station. But it needs redevelopment was the hint of the talk. 

Partway through, i checked on the buffet to see how it was going: 

A blurred view of the buffet

Then there was the talk of Rocksalt and how my sister saw prozzies nearby, lucky i didn't mention anything about my experience of me and that guy from Torquay walking near there at 3am, which if i was near rocksalt, i would of had the first kiss the way i wanted it in a realistic view and not with someone that wanted to forget that night when a first kiss is still an important goal in my life complete. I didn't mention about a beautiful friend that even chelsie recommended i should get with works there, but jades not single so there is no point. 

But then it was ready and the buffet feasting could begin, i had some ham and bread rolls an cocktail sausages as well as thousand island, which was tasty but maybe more filling than it should of been. 

The main plate of peppers, sausages, sausage rolls, crisps and more. 

All events come to an end

But time was ticking towards 5pm and the end of the gathering was near, Everyone thanked everyone and plans for nights out were being made with some and we all said our goodbyes. Which was a nice smooth ending and went better than we thought, or at least mum and dad did anyway.

Then it was just some tidying up then walking the dog which gave me and my sister some free time, which i started typing this up while setting up frozen. Which it seems WiiMC can't handle 360p at a 1.2mbits bitrate from a usb stick, handbrake to the rescue to convert it to 1mb and it worked and then it ended up just watching the "Let it go" part then we changed to the interview again, my sister was liking the jokes but by this time, the parents and rosie were home. We all relaxed and watched it to the full end and it was ok, its fair why it was going to cause terrorism but Seth and Flacco did a good job.

Shortly after that, it was the Avengers on BBC1, a very rare clause since the rules i heard last were its 3 years before FTA TV can broadcast films after inital release date, maybe Disney changed it, but it was amazing as per. Then i was also snapchating Tash while watching it, shes is just a cutie but i'll never get the chance to hug her before she gyms it in cardiff. But its nice to chat to her when i get lucky to.

Yay its on TV

She loved it

it sure is great

She loves it more

she was bored, so i offered her a way to  make her unbored 

She replies how

Theres always a way to be unbored, but it ended after here

The it was nearing 10:30 and after raving to music and then watching the final of Tomorrow Never Dies on ITV 2, it was the end of the night. Well with this to type up and a busy day hopefully at work tomorrow, i has to catch up.


And there is my Christmas spirit shown for this year, it felt nice, useful gifts, a bit of loneliness, a different pub and now its back to normal for the final 5 days of the year. With lots to review and hopefully a music video as well as a final few chapters of an old short story to finish off recording, i have a bit planned, sure i wish i could be cuddling charley, kissing Emma and making her food dreams come true and fall in love again, maybe having a netflix night with Sophie or even just having a buffet with perri before she leaves for London but it might be too late for any of that now.

Hope your boxing day and Christmas have been the nice last moment of this shit depressing year, but before i go, enjoy a song i've found awesome recently, i'll be honest and say Immobius makes pretty decent music with fist pumping beats from shows and games i like alot.


See you for a year in review
