A Windy Hot Plymouth Afternoon out

 With the weather being like it is, time off work was meant to be and does feel good, sure there are extra stages to be done and also the chance of new projects to overcome, but with some people still not working as normal until later on in the year, It was time to spend the Sunday with family. Since it just means content for others and also money for the fun future will have to wait. Sure some bits were purchased for an errand and also for a upcoming review, but it was also a rare chance during the maybe near end of the pandemic. 

But for now lets begin this day

The Day before. 

So actually it was coming to the end of the second week of work, this past week as been quieter than usual. Even with batteries ordered and given a box of mini eggs and also moving around a bookcase purchased actually on Thursday.

It also meant that I finally had to start shifting stuff on amazon, well just the games and put them at competitive prices on games The business has already lost the money on and nearly had for like 3 years so it is a fucking craze. But that gave me to have to run back and forth from the post office to get to pay the £21.10 for 7 games to be posted which only 1 of them was a parcel, the rest were large letter, on RM 2nc class signed for, which that does make the losses worse but its better than sitting there on the shelf forever in most cases. But that was done then it was time to come home, which was okay and then another walk of the dog before it was time that mum says we will have the final indian takeout for a while due to the 20% until end of April. Which we tried dome different items this time, which was nice and it still reminds me of nearly 2 years ago.

The Indian takeout 

Then it was time to catch-up with online questions to make that little bit extra money for the future, Since there are  weekend bonuses about to be had as well, but i managed to get 20 done until 0:20 which meant a nice rest for the sleep. Which then it was time to wake up later on. Plus it was hard to type and deal with a phone call 

A Morning.

Well it was the 8am alarm according to Google Nest Mini, and then it was time to check the phone to see how things have been, Some small updates here and there is the vibe here of the choice of what to do, either work or spend time with family since mum and dad really wanted to get away from it all, But eventually after that it was soon time to get up and then the nice vitamin C drink before my sister called and she was eventually free and not doing anything, so it was time to get changed and check details and emails before the drive to Saltash was to begin. This was also the time to try some shoes out which I had in my cupboard for a few months at least now, When i tied them on, they did make me worry they would slip like an old pair of them from shoezone did before. 

The shoes from Lidl

As the drive happened, some music was playing, My dad asked me if I wanted to learn to drive in Mum's Dad's car since he is no longer comfortable to drive after the recent revelations the past months. I did decline it and I know I've had some anxiety about the choices that could lead to a fair bit of complications and even legal issues, one day I'll have to talk to someone about it. 

The Devils journey 

But then we got to my sisters and we greeted her and shortly after a little chat, we all got in the car and then it was the drive over to Devil's point, passing the Tamar bridge and even  passing the road I had my 2nd and 3rd date nearby, which was 4 years ago now. The sun was out but the wind was even stronger. 

Crossing the Tamar bridge 

As we drove there, we almost lost that car parking space but we got one but had to get out of the car and then the wind really shown its presence here, then we got out of the car and then views were really amazing to see, well its not one to get bored of too often anyway. 

The view of Plymouth from here 

A look to the Cornish coast corner

Then it and the most western point of the Coast was to walk on the path and pass the Devil's point, from the deepest or not really, part of the estuary and then we made our way to the steps to Royal William Yard, which going to the stairs, it was actually a case of going to head a headache or dizzy feeling as I went down the stairs, it reminds me as I felt the same back in 2019 with the escalators on the tube. 

Looking North 

The blurred looked at the south

Then it was passing places such as the wagamamma I had my hear broken from one piece of **** that stole a love from years ago on one very day back in 2014. We then got to the green area and then decided to have something from the Bistro Rapid red van and then it looked soo good. But with them, the baguettes, they had butter on them so instead it was easier to have a Fanta and a muffin. It was since and it was some good talks too, from realising my mum's hair is the longest its been since she had given birth to me a long time ago. That and we were planning to take the wall to the other side after the carpark.

The muffin and the fanta 

Then we all decided to walk to that other side and the devils Point cafe was the plan after a quick one person pay 20p then let me in after before the door shut toilet, which actually the toilet was cleaner Than I thought it was going to be too. But the Lemonade refresher was nice and the walk over was short but a good time for more jokes, even if some will say they were insensitive too. The Wind was also weird wth it being bluestery jn one part but slightly further up and it was quiet, it was also the place I wanted to try to go swimming in one day but since its right next to a ferry port, it might be toxic in the long run. 

A look at the island for us to see 

The view of the mainland almost direct line of sight.

A Barbican late lunch

Then we decided to walk back and then it was to drive to the second part of the day out, the hoe or barbican . Which more talk about memories I was not involved in and also passing memories I had been involved in too from Wedding Fairs to the hotel fro the apple interview even 9 years ago or so. 

But then we parked up just after the restaurant on the corner of the hoe, we then walked our way down to the barbican to then pass the smell of fish and chips, which with the spur of the moment, my mum wanted some, so we walked our way to the centre of the Barbican and then to pass a place which I've not been eating there since the first date I ever had . This makes it easier to have a nice sausage and chips. 

Battered Sausage and Chips 

Then it was squeezed into a bench with all of us there and it was a hard one to comfortably eat plus i was getting full when eating the rest of the leftovers the family didn't want, it was also a spare drink out so i had that and it made me burp, which I was loudly doing and then got told to behave according to mum. But the views of the glistening ocean and the marina is nice. 

The marina looking out to sea 

The marina and barbican

But then we were going to walk across to Vue and the east side but mum and sister REALLY wanted to go to primark and it  was also time to really get the eye on the prize to get some bits and extra pieces, It was lucky i transferred £50 from savings just in case we did go shopping, since I had some errands to get done and last time was to town was actually august last year.  But first was to menkind since some bits and pieces were to be looked at and well there was actually more bits at work along the lines of what was on offer, sure other places were closed and also I  passed a shop,  saw someone that one broke my heart from what feels like another decade ago was only 6, even though that someone that did break my heart a decade ago actually likes some of my instagram posts and even tried to add me on Facebook a few months back. 

Eventually though it was to Poundland to get more tricks done and well jeans to buy and need to cut, I feel like I've lost my sense of style and also could be a tiktok video when i get the chance to film it. 
We will see how things play out but for £5 thats actually good value. Lets be real here,  Life ain't without its bad sides but its time to start getting back to me as I can  slowly add things on the go. But then it was time  to get some extras, the snacks and sauces got tempting but budgeting is important since part of me has not felt in this out of control. But instead the slush puppie ice lollies were really good 

The shopping from Poundland 

Then it was the call to get back to meet up with family, which said they would be at the costa about a few minutes, But I got there and did not see them, so went into game and looked around and even saw a Series X for the first time too. But then it was time to go around the long way and find them from costa like actually more near kfc than costa. But As i got there, they greeted me with a Costa smoothie which last time I had one, it had milk in it and i argued with them since they could have said or put milk in it, luckily it did not. But then in the heat, with a bit less wind, we powerwalked our way to the car. Which was actually the 5 minutes shaving off time before the ticket was up.

Then it was the drive at the end of the day. 

The end to a warm family day: 

Then it was driving via the back roads where we came to come in, from the same roads of passing the pub with the tortoise for my second and 3rd date. But then we got back to the Tamar Bridge and then back home but before, we dropped my sister off first, the pugs greeted her and then one had a seizure but then we made sure it was okay and then time to head back home and reflect. But with the evening upon us, it was soon time to walk Rosie and well we left home to walk her about 6pm and then walked to the river for more ball to play. She really did enjoy that, some other dogs were there as well for a little bit and they barked but rosie ignored and played ball.

Then it was the time to get home which we did by 6:50 odd. then it was the time to relaxing with family and get some movie time in with them while having a bit of leftover tiger bread on that tea. But the curiously cinnamon was a nice touch to the ham and also to the teriyaki and lime pickle. But that ham is not too bad and the bread was going hard. 

The Sandwiches

So there we have it, the day out which was might be the last bit of family time for a while, there is more spoils to say about soon and I still have videos to film as well as both jobs to sort out, but we can see how it happens. 

so long for now

A Wet Shopping by Train

Well, this was not expected, but in ways almost drew lames of and overdue but in another way, it's what cost this was to happen. There might or might not be a vlog about it down below but alot of new things ill admit, this was one week later

A break upstart.

So this is going to be the killer, things seem fine for the past week, sure what was meant to be fine was but n Saturday 2 friends got a message which was about me and some major shit-stirring but also with a mix of things only myself and them know, which after and during a family meal on Sunday, has undone the best moments of the past year. But what I will give you is something that well actually ended up more insults to me like words I say to make myself sound like an incel and also there were lies about even who she was except I fed her years ago, like 1 to 2 years ago.

Insert conversation here

But with that and having to rush payouts and also alot of pay pal drama sorted which some person decided to make a fake Gmail with my name and then used a card and address and actually causes me to have debt collector letters. Now since that happened on the 23/12/19 it was almost a month sorting it and the team at pay pal eventually found out and helped me through it. Minus closing work for a shopping 2 hours to get it sorted. But Wescott did do their best and helped me out a fair bit too.

I also started a review on the Mi band 4 to finally put it to use

The band 4 with the 

Now that's out of the way it's the day.

The morning for a visit

I was awake, sure the time was 8:40 and I did confirm a tiny bit with the girl I was seeing which actually is the same as whom I saw in August since it's finally our second meeting and things have changed and okay yes invest but next too.

I got up by 8:45 and cleaned the cat's bin and a phone call from my mum who lost her keys but she got them a showed for me and then it was time to rush and get bits, I didn't have time to take a camera but Phones will do the quality anyway. I started running by 9:13 and got there to the bus stop in 2 minutes, like no way it's much easier to run using the band now, a few taps and im doing a workouts

An empty road

Waiting at the bus stop

I got on the bus for a return for £4.20 just in case but I wanted to make sure I can see it through in but by 10:40 I got there. Then I rested by the veranda or the marina bit and vlogged before I went to the customer's house and got what needs to be fine.

Waiting at the river

I sat on that barge bit for a vlog

I finished about 11:20 and got a text saying about tired and wait until next week which I had this feeling but I replied saying im running to get the train and I ran my way I got there 3 minutes early and the station wifi was handy and worked but not that quick enough to hope for a reply.

The station

The train and run

I got on the train and sat on a comfy part of the train and it's nice and posh compared to when I was on this last, must have been years ago but after paying £5.20 for a single to the station I needed, it ass a peaceful wait and feeling a warm journey to the station

The estuary 

Eventually, by 11:55, I was at the station and since I heard no reply I waited out there for a few minutes for the rain be less heavy. We decided to run from the station to town not that long actually,  about 28 minutes, the mi band was doing really well and only some couple was like "you could look where you're going" just as I stopped by a parked car to let then through cheeky shits. But I got to a wet town and we'll a lot has changed since I've not been around town since really August last year.

Using the band and it didnt really record much. 

The browse

So my first port of call was drakes circus to get a toilet break. Now it was nice and also I saw HMV disappear as well as Krispy Kreme. But after I walked out of the toilets, past the 3 stores to look for the redmi note 8. But then it was my way to Taco Bell and I saw The Krispy Kreme where the pretzels we originally. Then I went in to game for a quick check and it was a season of sonic sale on too.

Town and the taco bell. 

Now taco bell did have a nice smell simile to what I felt in Colindale and it was nice the menu sad write responsive and you can remove the cheese from the meals which were nice. Then I walked down to game which had some event on so if was close for the moment on the gaming side but with the retail side had some moments and good deals and all. Then it was to CEX and as I walked in I saw lu the girl I had my 4th ever date with and she was on the phone but smiled with her rounder self, it's so weird since that nearly 2 years ago that happened. I walked in and looked at some GPU's and also some laptops and switches, not too bad prices to be fair. But after that, it was to pond and.

As I went into Poundland it was not to busy but I found cables I needed and snacks that I might want but I skipped that and made my way to Brandmax. As I made my way there, it was wet and then I got up and looked at some good deal jeans, some like 32" w 34 l jeans for £7.99 which is nicer than the Primark ones. I hesitated on them so I walk on down to explore more. Then it was on to the second Poundland and it was time for some Durex, foot soles and 2 x USB type C cables, well normally they are like £6 so £1 each is awesome value

Then I walked my way down to near the market, and one of those repair shops had a screen protector for my note 7 which actually fitted a Huawei P smart 2019, but not for £10 in all honesty. So I walked away and down to wants for the next lot of thing, some GPU's and all. But en I walks out and go to cash converters and some good deals in Xbox one consoles but then I walked my way back up and throw the alleyway by TK max. But as I was here I had a phone call from a customer to cancel the home visit I was meant  have with her on the way back. Then it leads me to the other sidecsbd time to smell the oriental shop and the bags of crispy seaweed were tempting me I will admit. But I walks around and then walked out and upwards to visit the barcode

The barcode

As I walked out of Primark and down to the steps where the bust station use to be, I walked into an empty carpark well almost empty and ha that new smell with it, it was very odd feeling to walk in there warm sure, but like an abandoned car park, the lift access was quite a way away but I got there and then walked to the gold which was at the bottom right of the place.

The Barcode

I walked in and it was an odd smell but the bad and arcade were closed, so I walked out, I'll do a vlog of that maybe another day. So it was then to explore level 0. I first walked into Cineworld and it felt nice and there was a rep greeting me and helping me with movie choosing or how to use the machine anyway but I then walked out and into Fivd guys, the smell was lush but the value for money was not, my Activision and another publisher rep called me just at the moment and asks if I was in a basketball court, I said no a five guys but then she reminded me of some overdue Tennis order so ill bundle or with some monster trucks game. I walked them to Cosy club which felt nice but the price was steep for brunch parts and more for people that link to drink constantly.

The End of the trip

But alas it was my time for one last l.ook at Taco bell and then Menkind, which had some ideas on things, Like the Megadrive mini, some signs I could use for work and also a kit for vlogging which later on i've managed to get in touch with. But then it was to the Brand max to get some Jeans. Not bad for £7.99.

The new jeans for £7.99

Then it was a nice walk back up, first off I went to Hosue of Frasier and tried some Dior Sauvage, well it was nice but I don't get the girls chasing down the street meme of it, well not for the £70 Price tag anyway.

 I went to the EE store for a little chat about plans then I walked to Royal Parade. Which then was a Sprint for the Bus, and it was then a £5.20 to get back to Tavi. There was still no text at all.

Portrait Selfie on the way home

Then I got off the bus to Lidl and it was a Run from there back home. It was dryer but a damp sense in the air. But I got home and then found out since no one has been home, Rosie had messed on the floor, since actually if I just didnt rush to make sure something would happen, I would have been able to walk her and well actually none of what you saw would happen. But this actually has been a shit start to the month but I've got plans to make it work out again. But then it was a nice Beef and Chicken Balti. 

The tea for that night. 

Well here we are, I'll try to get more vlogs and videos up and with things to sort out, it will be a delay for that to happen. I'll see you soon.
