omracer's Holiday: The Relective Night and Hungry Journey Home ( Day 5 and 6)

Well, this is actually Sunday night and Monday since the Sunday itself used to catch up on the older vlogs.

Sunday night of shame

Well, there was one last date to be planned but anxiety rose for both and she had something else happen and we did try but sadly things don't work out the way we want them too.
In the end, I decided to get changed and walk around,

So, by 9:30ish, I  ran to the first place, naag sag I actually gave a 2-star review once yet I've ordered more after that, it did smell soo good actually.

Nearing a really nice takeout

Then I made my way to a pizza hut I've ordered from which actually I ran in the dark near the park, well it did scare me but I'm stronger than I thought, I got there in about 20 minutes and then it was to look around, the guy was busy on the phone but didn't get to chat much just no gift cards.

the side i've never seen

Then I said fuck it and ran to Finchley in 20 minutes or so, I got there and looked at some of the places i've fed and where we went before, my mind maybe just had no idea why I did it but I have a feeling I know what I did. Now I did make it to creams and went inside asked about gift cards and then left but did use some serviettes and then walked out, my nipples hurt.

Nearing creams

Then it was time to walk to Indian orchid which closed by 10:00 so I explored a pizza place which was smelling nice to a degree.  Then I walked my way to McDonald's and has a nice medium sprite and well actually there was a leftover nugget so I ate that, then it was time to check KFC and some chavs almost started on me, checked the menu then walked out and I ran my way back.

Ordering from the menu

The drink for £1 and the NFC charging point

Now actually it's rare since I got back to the Airbnb in half an hour. The air was warm and actually, it was a nice bit our there,  it then I was really hungry so devices to have snacks, onion dipped in BBQ sauce is a fucking good combo, then crisps and sweet chilli dip after.

The onion and rhe dip

Then it was asleep until the morning of 7am.

THE MORNING

well my mind was awake, my heart unsure but well it was the way back to normality, so after talking to myself and thinking of christea, I got up and then it was a warmish shower first which I had to chat and text the Airbnb rep, he was okay and told me to leave the key in the letterbox and also I asked about taking the rubbish out  so that was agenda.

The suitcase to prepare packing

Actually, a reorganize of the suitcase managed to get the presents in with a little issue, hopefully, safe from smashing as well, the clothes folders in and I was ready to make this end journey worth it with one last gift to get which I put in the cyber dog bag

Preparing, also it had to use a knife as a pe 

Then it was a rush to tie up the rubbish and Chuck it in the bin, yes I could recycle but loads of mixed and not really my easy of time to get it done, I mean I'm glad I left a bit earlier else I would have been late
.

Yes to the rubish to clear 

Bins

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Eventually, it was clipping my ankles in the stairs to get the case and trolley down, that trolley took a battering but wheels still worked, so by 9:50 I was ready to go.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Packed and ready to go

The walk to Finchley

Well, I was meant to get the bus bug the route of the bus I needed was actually hard to find so I walked it in about 45 minutes and 5 times the suitcase dropped, I fixed it by a tricky of the bungee by the handle of the case and not around the luggage itself.

But I then went to Greggs first, the girl I needed to see was not in so a Greggs card it was. Then I dropped it somewhere nearby and then made my way around shops for cheap drinks, like actually yes I'll take Fanta shokata for 2.69.

Then Poundland for coach food, 3 drinks and 2 sandwiches for 4 quid is a marvellous deal actually. Then in the rain, I walked my way to the Woodside park and a train arrived as I got there but it left so another 3 in wait and I was on the northern line yet again.

The tube stairs

Well the tube was okay until I got to Euston, it was then to change over and since no lifts, I was pretty pissed about that, oh and I rushed to the point I might of left earbuds in the train, but ah well. Also, a supplier called up so that was a pain.

Then the change to victoria was fun since it was heaving and then Victoria was out of lifts, but I managed it just about on escalators, but eventually, I was in the plaza and time to see food,

Then I walked my way to get McDonald's for one actually meal since I felt I wanted one since a dream of McDonald's date didn't happen, a nice big Mac with no cheese, no lettuce, extra onions and gherkins. 4.79 us a good bargain actually.

Inset pics here

But then it was a fast walk to get to the coach station, which with luck and taking it easy, I was finally at my last stop by 12:40.

Then I waited and ate the meal and shown a pic and told her I left a gift and I was being stupid I accidentally didn't realise I meant tease as in my lunch and worried her.

But the coach

I got in by 12:55 and by 1 we were off via different routes and actually, it was good I had no seat to share and it was a nice video editing and chatting session. Sure My EA rep called and I told her the truth I'm not allowed to tell here. But also the route was damp and darkening and wet but by 4:20 we got to Sedgemoor.

Sedgemoor jackpot

Well we got there and it was then a chance to explore after toilet, well I went to the fruit machines, played on ginger ninja and won 2 quid and I paid £1.20 in

Then it was a case of actually getting back and asking about iPhone org adapters but then by 4:50, we were on the last leg. My sister texts me to ask if I need picking up which for a change 8 said yes so she's meeting mine by 7pm ISH. But we were easily getting in time and no delays at least I can see. Exter by 5:30 and Lee moor by 6:15 so it was a smooth ride home.

By 6:32, I was off the couch and back in Devon, with a bit of a sore throat arriving back and well since I had to get a few bits it was well deeming like back to normal life. Luckily the vlog had about a few hours to go so I can get that up before I sleep.

Actually now, we need up driving to spoons for a big burger for a change, well yeah, a surprise, my sister and her boyfriend picked me and up and I told them a few what's been happening and actually turns out, we all went to spoons at the queens head of a meal.

And there we have it, another holiday done, sure it sucks having K from feabie stand me up when she was insisted she wanted to meet But I saw christea and well that's important. But then work went a disaster when I got back but I think i've done the right thing in the long term

Anyways see you for Dickensian

omracer's Holiday: omracer's Holiday: The Winter Way up for Waiting (Day 1)

So then, we begin on the fantastic journey of my second holiday this year, with reasons been planned and spent in the behind the scenes from having to make sure friends are okay and also pre-black Friday sales, this was something new territory, like yes I've never had a winter break before, for real. But let's enjoy the below

Catch-up, 

Well thee past few months I need to be honest, but I'm not allowed to mention it which has changed my perspective on things and also made this holiday possible.  Also, I'm getting to finally meet someone I've been trying to meet for months from feabie, which strange chapters occur but we are meeting TODAY, or did we?

Funnily enough, both girls got threats from another friend I've met once, it's strange how it all works out. Okay sure I've been doing major late nights on directly and they changed the support style and it makes it harder to earn but it means I can use the coach journey to get it pulled out of my butt a bit, since the more I can answer, the more I can earn to save up for finely.

Now finely, well he's been checked and chipped as of tomorrow on my 1st full day, but it will be £55 for the snip on  then worming as well for £34 and tick tablets for £24 so it all adds up, family did give me money but 8 told them to pay towards the fees so all of this is my own money, even if directly this week had to go to Koch since he was getting fussy the rep.

Happy birth of stadia and xCloud too, I'll be seeing the Microsoft store, maybe even today as well,

Speaking of work, my colleague, well he's getting there one PayPal here at a time, hopefully he makes effort when I'm away, but we shall see,  but Even last night I managed 4 customers after work,,okay 2 paid and 2 pay when I get back since I'm like that and less hassle more just sort out later, but hey, more dollar for me .

The prep

I got home at 8pm, yes that long and it was time for chilli and extras as well as the cake from Lidl which is mega nice.

Then it was time to pack, yup, we crammed winter clothes, christea's gifts, pants, shoes and the like, bug then Bungie is to the trolley and it was ready to handle running, it's cute with the cat stretching too 😍

Then it was a bath, shave and then movie watching but Finely is attacking Rosie pretty strongly but it's only been his 3rd week here so I can't fault too much.

Fell asleep at 2am after a fap and listen to BBC World-Service yet again, funnily it was on about Airbnb too.

The morning

Well, I woke up my eyes at 5:45 and up by 5:55, getting finely fed and making sure things are ready, glass was charged up and painted (on Sunday) but the laptop has an extra charge as well, it's a fun day for sure. Then I had a toilet and finely joined after dreamies tempting. He meowed while I was preparing, also facial was great even if it stung my face from the shave.

Finely and the food near the door

Then it was parents up and time to get gfuel and ready, (yes I packed both gfuels with me, giving christea a chance to try it, she loved monster actually, then I got changed, more grey attire and no cut jeans due to parents really nagging about it, but by 6:46 I was ready to leave and it was a car drive in the rain, a shame but it's supposed to be dry up there.

We talked about a few things, like how Bovis home skipped a water storage tank and how they are piping under the railway line to then let water drain to monksmead and like that apparently makes no safe chance of railway track being allowed to build on the line, but government always get a financial BJ so they can look the other way, bug hopefully Bovis see common sense (well they won't) .

Eventually, 8 got there by 6:50 and was on the bus, it cost 5.20 for a SINGLE, like fuck, 2 singles costs more than a single to London from Plymouth, (8.00 one way). But paid and then on the bus and saw the parents off. I hugged mum and dad before getting on, they are worried and the truth of why here might worry them further.

The bus for the first part of the journey

The bus was off and by Derriford by half 7, this is good since it means I'm not rushing to get the coach and get to go Poundland on the way in,  traffic was piling on let's admit.

The better selfie 

Nearing Mutley

So I got to town and then ran to drake circus, I got to the toilet and had a pee, the case was sliding around but the lights are pretty.

Mayflower Street lit up

The Lights at drake circus

Now I ran back to Poundland to get luggage tags and a sandwich, well that and an iPhone cable too, the self-checkout was slowing me down but paid on a card and the ran to the coach station, lucky I did since I almost MISSED THE COACH. I got on and also a bracket off the trolley messed up so I had to put that in with the Bungie. I got on the coach and called and text everyone, christea saw it, mum saw it and called my grandparents to bless them,

The tag, sandwich and lighting cable

The journey

It was a start of a 6-hour coach, laptops had a little charge on each battery so that didn't help, but I did some directly work and helped, it took 1 hour 20 to get to Exeter.

The River Ex

At Exeter

Then it was a few people that got on at Exeter, but still, empty seats around but the journey was non stop at least until the m4 mark :) for a 10-minute break at Leigh services

On the road

More highways

Looking towards the estuaries

Since the laptop died, I used the Huawei 3g midi to carry on and that 40gb of data is a godsend, like so much, but the chances of what a 7th date will be, well things will be existing and very good base 🐷.

B&Q for sure 

Tesco and the rail

Chelsea is always a posh area

Autumn is sure there though

The Run to Euston

Well I got off the bus at the station, then ran my way to Euston, not that fun and the suitcase is bigger than the trolley, it fell off 3 times but the Bungie really did help. From women in glam pink to running past the ritz and the messages says she was going to be late helped me get there on time and eventually I got to my destination of the locker at the exchange.

The Case at the station

The exchange, 

No way, he was a really nice guy and was well worth leaving luggage at his shop, stasher is such a good service, but eventually things to an end. Then it was to finally meet.

The (Failed) meetup. 

I'm not going to describe the shouting to myself and constantly checking messages into detail. But the main thing is, She changed the time to 3:43 and I got there just by then, Then she messaged me saying she was about 10 minutes then she had a panic attack, she also said she got me a gift and would warm me up, described what she was wearing, but alas 2 hours of that went by, 3 toilet visits, 1 Domut sample, 1 railway model layout magazine read and loads of people chaos about the poor buy crushed under the tub at Oxford Circus (funnily enough I ran right past that on the way to Euston, by the store I want to go into). 

Waiting here for over 2 hours 

Selfie

But alas by 6pm I picked up the suitcase and the chap was still one of the nicest i've met in a while, But then it was the walk to the tube to the Airbnb. 

Buses and cars always cramming in 

The busy of Euston Rush Hour

Then I tapped to get my £20 credit for oyster and got the lifts down to the station, my train just arrived and then it was smooth but few longer stops ride to get to the Airbnb, I was texting once I had a signal. But well we will see what happens and plans for real with christea were talking on. By 6:50 I was at High Barnet and it was £4.70 for that trip actually, bloody peak times.

The station

The arrival. 

So I ran my way on the road to the Airbnb, since most numbers are actually apartment names it confused the hell out of me and i text the host and he was a chill guy, so I eventually got in by 7: and he introduced me to the place, shake hands and then left me to it. Which was good. I also had decent fibre (actually similar speeds to home) so getting stuff up was no way an issue. The fridge was nice, the water was nice and well I did cain Gfuel to get this up and loads of TVs I'll show you soon. Except for this 

The big TV and video editing. 

and there is that, sure there are plans for what this next day would bring. 

See you then
