The second day, now this is the first time I've ever vlogged both days, with the first one finished and uploaded just as I was getting change to get ready for tonight. This time I had to go earlier which was for getting something from drakes circus before it closed at 8pm. the vlog is below.
The plan
So, I finished the day before's vlog, it was not too bad, one power cut due to me not plugging in the charger can be annoying but it hasn't done too much damage this time. That was in-between walking Rosie and snacking every so often. But by 4:25, the vlog was ready to tender while the dogwalk was happening. The morning dogwalk was with a friendly chap who has 4 dogs and Rosie didn't mind them. Also the battery in the LED shoes are rip with the wire for the switch dying out, no charging for that one.
I was running to get the bus by 6:10 and it arrived at 6:25, this was interesting since there was more people, the cost was the 5.50 day rider and some kids at the back decided to get a speaker out and a bit of fiddy cent. then Romanians behind me as the bus got into roborough, it was getting packed pretty quickly. Time was ticking but on my side since I had a bit of time to get the cable.

After getting the cable and exploring drakes circus, it was time to make my way to see the taking place for beyond at game, this was really nice and that competition to win a Xbox one I didn't enter since I don't need it. Then I made my way to the barbican to have a look, it was not crowded but it was nice to see a few singers and cap n jaspers was stocked up. I made past there my way to the hoe.

Now I was wandering around, but walking up on the road from the barbican, the crowds were building up and it was peaceful as it was busy.
A stage on the barbican too

The hoe was getting busy

I walked to the fair, the crowds were in different places and the energy was just as busy.

I also went to the screen, spar had free cans of coke, fanta and sprite to be had and I went for fanta.

As I wandered to the kids area, I noticed a phone call on glass, it was swaggy, it turns out that him and Pete were here and I walked to meet them, it was only near a fish and chip van. I saw pete, leather jacket, same phone case as me, ripped jeans and then we chatted or more a girl near me chatted to him which then I caught up with him slightly while walking to see Libby and swaggy.
in trackies and a white shirt, Libby in jeans and furry jumper, more interesting than I thought. her daughter was with her, we chatted and then me and Pete decides to walk to the barbican to get donuts. We had a good catch up, I found out the house has split and also I told him the truth about leaving games and computer's, he was shocked a little bit but all was good,we got to the stand by cap njaspers and he ordered 10 donuts for £6.00. it was already prepared. We walked back up, I saved swaggys new number and we then delivered the donuts, I was offered one, me and swaggy chatted whole Libby was playing on a stall with the daughter.

Swaggy and the tower
They came back, she won a fidget spinner and I noted down the company for a friend to help buy them since they were CE approved. After that, I walked to the viewing spot, it was much less crowded this time and then it was soon time to watch the fireworks. the first lot were pretty good
A look back at the fair
The view before the display
Nice redness
a short spark
it gets brighter
after, it was looking at the 15 minute break before the second lot, the sun was finally leaving us, and the rides lit up the sky.
The bright fair sky
The second lot started, it was actually quite nice, it was quiet but started to hang up and really explode the life in the end.
A small spike
Red sparks
a boom
a coloured boom
Then it was the last wait before the 3rd one, this was a pretty intense amount and the explosions were no short of incredible at the end.
here comes a real boom
ooh
aww
wow
the red woah
Then I walked my way back to the hoe, the grass was damp and I nearly slipped in the flora, but I wobbled on up and got to the fair in the end.
The walk back
the crowds walking on the road
I explored the fair for one more time, it was a really normal fair fun, but by the slushes, I saw a soft lady I think I follow on Instagram, Brooke, obviously she has never seen me before so I didn't introduce myself. by 10:53, I was deciding to walk back.

I ran a backroad to royal parade and that was packed, so I decided to go f it and run further up until the bus gets unpacked. That worked for 18 minutes and just as I got to a bus stop, the bus was behind me and let me in.
Blurry running
As I was on the bus, some 2 people were chatting and I found out about a tapas on the hoe which isn't the done and do really good food, both were off by the time I was at marjon, that as well as seeing a cute BBW I was standing next to, with lovely black eyes and a amazing figure. then I saw a former schoolmate with a lovely supersized blonde, she reminded me of someone I follow on feabie, he said hi to me as he got off at yelverton. Then it was quiet from there out, I was off the bus by 00:05, yawning, smoke was in the air, I know it will be a long night but this week off allows me to get things done better.
well, my first week off in 5 years and it's been a really a quiet one, one thing that I realised is that it's the fireworks championships that coincides with the week off which means it is a good 2 blogs for me, well I hope. the sounds, the wind and the fresh looks is what makes this great. the vlog is below
a nice estranged day off
as I woke up the usual time, the feeling of no work is a nice one, sure I had some admin bits for the new business to attend to, like accounting and also some stock to arrive, which ups delivery is just as I go to go #dogwalkingwithomracer. but I had a nice treacle tart for breakfast along with burger sauce and salad.

Then it was more admin bits and trying to see some other bits done before making a nice bacon sarni for lunch.

It was a catch up with dad before I started to see if I could get glass to work one more time which now the casing for the battery was fragile,,the ribbon cable was quite flimsy so it could explain why the battery issues started. shortly after that, a customer called and a remote in session sorted his problem out and wave has a nice way to invoice people. then mum came, which means another #dogwalkingwithomracer. I had to pop to pick up that UPS delivery beforehand though, with the lady in there polite , my words slurred, running can cause that. eventually that was a 1kg picked up and then we drove off to Warren's cross, which had the lovely leat to actually rain and dogs playing at places.
The cloudy dogwalking
Then it was finishing the setup of the new tangerine glass which due to the Google+ ban, I had to use my YouTube account to get it going, that was annoying and then getting a app to turn off WiFi was a long time, but I managed to have a nice fishcakes for tea as well, maybe I shouldn't of had that but it's tasty AF.

The journey
now we get to pack up, glass and phone were fully charged, I had a shower and changed and by 7:30 I was off to lidl. I got there, realising that I was 20 minutes early, it was a bit of a ugh.
The sunset from lidl
The before going out selfie
After a wandering to lidl and waiting, I was on the bus and the nightrider was my way to go. £3.00 paid and a old customer I chatted with a little bit before typing this up. The road was empty until the Dartmoor diner and clear sky on the right, the dark clouds on the left.
eventually I got into town by 9:55, listening to bbws and louts on about costs of tvs and also kids singing pop songs at the back of the bus. traffic lights were just against us and red at almost every one. As I got to mutley, a old work colleague that used to work Saturdays popped up and we chatted, he was getting over a cold, I told him of work and he said "you were the driving force" which looking back, it felt like that. Eventually us both got off at the town stop and I vlogged my way to prepare, with drakes circus for a toilet break first.

A run to the Hoe
The fireworks on the hoe
It was a run to the hoe, low and behold, the traffic lights were nay in my favour, but I got on there by 9:15. This was so packed and so new rides to see, especially with the Ohio disaster that kmg found out it was corrosion of the ride that caused those people to die and injure.

More kids rides
I then made it to a nice viewing spot and it was suddenly time to see the fireworks.

The Sunset on the fair
Then the display started, it was not as big of a bang to begin with but it evolved up.

The middle
the End
By 10:40, the first display was over and looked great, it was a nice 10 minutes until the next display was to happen. Glass decided to pack up at this point with the battery.
The sun fading even more
Then it was the 3rd and final display, glass decided to work and that was filmed , it was all a big bang and some louts talking and windy clear sky. my led shoes were half lot on one foot, I think they have died out :(
The half lit shoes
oooh
ahh
hmm
awww
ooooh
YEAH
The new fair to visit
Now the fun but was to explore, well what was the clear out of people and also the litter on the hoe was pretty immense, but new rides were around this time, over the top, topscan and a wrc simulator was there.

I eventually started to make my way down town, there was some busy paths and a nice drum and waste street performers who did some good raving tunes, I past him and saw the queue for the park and ride and it was worth just running there with nearly 3 bus loads.
Looking back at the Sundial
I walked around and then suddenly saw the 1st bus home and I pelted it, passing cars and up hills, I did get to the bus stop.
Heading towards the bus
Time to get home
but when that bus came, it was full after I chased it and me and the driver chatted across a road, so I ran to Mutley and waited again, some guys were being bey's and said about a marathon "I've already done a half marathon" I shouted back.
Pelting it to Mutley
Eventually by 23:25, I got on the bus, it was much emptier than I thought and relaxed as I kept glass on and it was a restful journey back to tavi.
The empty bus, by that point, it was only me and one other chap on the entire bus
That was it, sure there always might be a second time and I know boardmasters is on, which 3 years ago, I lost my best friend before I even knew myself back then. it doesn't matter now, I just have to too that chance on feabie is there without spending my life savings .
