A day in the new life

This one was a fun day, I've wanted to try to get a day in the life done and now I get to start it. This was somewhat how my past 2 weeks have been with more time to myself than usual. The vlog is below,


The Fresh Morning

Let's be honest, this was actually starting after getting to sleep at 3am, but Westworld is a unique show and was enticing as I built a PC.

Intel Pentium G4400
Asus h110m-k
Kingston 2133mhz 4GB DDR4
palit 120gb ssd
500w PSU
CiT Templar Case
windows 10
Office home and student 2016

Westworld and PC Building at 2am
Waking up 

But I got up and Rosie was happy to see me, not, so I went to feed the fish, Glass was dead on battery so I had to charge it. Then it was a getting change bit, sure, it was a bit of a rush but that was just to get out #dogwalkingwithomracer. But a raspberry and pineapple smoothie could NOT go amiss.

Then it was time to walk that dog, so she was eager as always, we walked and we were close to going to the other field but we decided to go to the normal one, our lovely friend Tonka was already sniffing around, but then it was the ball that rosie was wanting. So we played ball for about 15 minutes, with Tonka wandering and peeing.

the field as usual

Eventually it was 8am and I was walking back home, I saw a neighbour on the way and walked up the road with him, Rosie did now that one BIT. Show she decided to bite my foot and that meant it was time to get her tile Ringing, yes i have now put tile on her since she ran off when walking her in the field late one night. that sound does help her response to me quite nicely. Then it was time to get home and feed her, with unlocking the door, ending the walk and waiting for glass to charge back up to do more FPS view, but nah. So it was time to feed the dog, this was heaving up a bag of her food. Once that was done, time to clean up and finished getting changed before getting the PC and my rucksack ready to run down to work with.

The new shoes i bought for £4.00


Running down was not too bad, the box is still a bulky product so its a way to pick it up without damaging the box. But after 12 minutes, I finally got there which my hands were a little bit tired as you go.


The trading day


So I got in, since my spot was different, I had to re-cover the 2 tables and that was a bit of a fun with someone else helping me last minutes, the neighbours were pretty friendly, since one of them i chat to a bit with helping him out back in the old job. But before that was to catch up with my friend and that went well to see what was going on. Then I unpacked and it was a nice way to start the day.

The stall


Then it was a case of typing this up, getting some phone calls done and also redesigning a logo since a few customers mentioned it to me, this was with a project i'm not telling about (not gaming related), wanted to have my logo for advertisements for a collab we are doing. That ended up quite nice and more to the point of what I thought it out to be. The customer picked up the PC and paid which was nice too.


Then it is time to wait and more chatting with customers, it was heading into the afternoon and 3 hours left, things were queit, until about 3ish and another bit of worked booked and my grndad popped in to say hi and help him out with Youtube on the phone and also to tell me a delivery has arrived. Thats going to be so fun to get booked in, might not feature that but its still exciting.

But it eventually was getting to 4pm which is the last 30 minutes until I get to packup, thi will be fun...

The pack up and evening visit


So, its 4:30, a friend visits and we catch up, which then in turn, I pack everything up and head off to the home visit, I was meant to do. Standing on chairs to reach the plug is scary af for some reason, but thats my genetics from my dad's fear of heights i'm guessing.

It took 2 hours due to things going down at the wrong moment but then it was time to head off home, Running and getting breathless up the hills, which the route I had had 2 steep ones at the beginning. But eventually I got home by 6:55 and Rosie sort of greeted me, along with 2 big boxes on the kitchen table. This was interesting, since i ordered this yesterday. But alas, it was time to actually catch up with the internet while taking a dump, then it was time to walk Rosie again for her evening walk.


The 2 boxes that came home


The Chours to get done

So, we finally get to Walk rosie again, with her ready on the lead, She walked and we played some more ball, the weather was good too.

Reqady to walk Rosie Again, 
This time, the field was quiet and the weather was picking up nicely, but it was soon nearing the dusk and just as we walked home, we were greeted by a dog nearby and he said hello to me and rosie was playful yet vocal. Then it was time to relax and cook food after feeding her again. But then it was time to weigh myself since I do this every few days, which its interesting where one weight was 188.4 then after another weigh in, it was 186.4. Then I got into my dressing gown...

After, I decided to cook a Quorn chickpea curry with some extras like noodles and sauces. It actually turned out really nice. Also I decided to carry on with the last 2 episodes of westworld before readying myself to get the vlog up, which took me on and off the entire day.

And that was it, now we have got one video left to film before I really Cain the last 2 parts of Crash and then its soon to be GOOSE FAIR.

omracer's night out: A winter light parade.


Well then, this was a surprise night out after a home visit. customer wants a PC. But in a turn of events, it makes out an parade of lights was about to transpire in Plymouth, with the Christmas lights to be switched on and for many people, the Christmas shipping and shopping begins

Now the PC was a package in its own right, consisting of a spec of an i3-4330, 8gb ram, 1tb hdd, dvd drive, 500w psu in a standard case. But with an addition of windows 8.1, a Asus Geforce GT740 £2gb, a Samsung 22" 1080p VGA only screen l and the same keyboard and mouse settings that I bought, the nemesis Kane pro.

This cost £685 and £25 for me to set it up, which was by bus. Being happy as I am, I got it set up the day before and then by 3:45, I walked with a big box, (the same the kit from the supplier came in) and walked to the bus station. It wasn't too bad but my left hand was feeling a strain.
I was on the bus by 3:55 and after paying the usual £4.50 and finding a seat downstairs close by, I sat down and rested before this began.

The box on the bus 

The journey was quiet and I might of gotten there a bit too early but hey, its better to be earlier than later, it wasn't getting that dark yet either. I eventually got there about 4:25 and it was a tricky route to get to the place, but it was a really heavy box, my hands were losing grip but I made it with the things in one piece.

The box after i got out of the bus, time to deliver it to across the roundabout


After an hour and 30 minutes getting it setup and ready to go for them including steam, printers, Asus registration and printer wps joining. I left theirs at 6:15 and got to the bus stop I got off. Maybe early but it ends up the bus was 15 minutes late. Which annoyed me...

Waiting for the bus at 7:30ish



After a journey of lights and some minor stops on an 83 with no extra to pay (day rider), I was very close to my destination and I got off by the train station to make it easier. By then, it was covered in lights for the xmas festivities
Nearing town from the Train Station

A beautiful view of the chistmas tree


When I reached town, the lights were bright and it was looking like it should be later on in the month, but wondering around the lights and the sights was nice, even though I had to go for a piss first i might of see Sophie with her new man :/, but that was also a time to check my belt since I felt it digging into my skin. But once I sorted myself out, I was ready to explore, maybe though glass. I was strolling through parades, enjoying the lights, even seeing good cosplay of frozen characters and I mean the elsa cosplay had beautiful  cheeks, american accent if I can recall.

Then the stalls were not as filled as I maybe thought, like the Christmas market hasn't started yet.
I followed the parade abd it ended by the fair opposite the screen. Its funny how the rides were having a design change. Terminator now became "Scrooge's revenge", but its every little change for the holidays.
Terminator rebranded as Scrooge's Revenge ???

Looking at the sundial from the ice rink
It was killing time and it was nearing 8 and I thought the mall was closing then, even though after that, places were still in full swing, I passed carphone warehouse, Emily smiled at me at one point, I wish that would be a win but I can't say it is. But maybe this season I can start to make the real effort with that amazing girl.
I even checked out the american sweet shop, I was very close to buying twinkies and a smile and a sensation inside when I worked out a whole box was 2,000 calories, that would be PERFECT BEDROOM PLAY FOOD. £12 is maybe a bit stepped but that's import plus vat plus cost. So I can understand that. Wandering down the bottom of town was ok but more chavs than the usual stuff. I was weary.

Eventually it was nearing to 8:15 and I decided to buy a subway, now this I needed to do due to the fact I have 387 left until 19/11/14 and then they expire, so buying a delicious footlong sub and drink for a £5 was decent.
The ham, bacon, gherkin, onion, tomato and sweet onion dressing sub on hearty Italian bread was just too good.

A tasty subway and drink for £5

A closer look in the other half of the footlong

Unsure why i had taken this but meh

It took about 15 minutes before I finished it, but before leaving I said about my sub card to the chap, he said it shouldn't expire, if it does he will sort it but I was from 387 to 437 so that's a bonus, even though its 600 points for a free 6" sub (on its own). Then it was a final stroll and piss before heading back to the bus. On the way back, someone said hi to me. But i can't remember who he was.
Low and behold, the bus was very close on time and it was packed, for the first time in months, I had someone else sit next to me, which was a meh approach, but it made me panic when it turns out glass was recording and oh shit it nearly burnt my hand and the battery died. I knew I should of switched it off....

After derriford the journey was getting less crowded, as I was tying this while listening to aquarium park act 3 and the like. But soon It was time to get off the bus and end a long day & a reasonable night.

Getting off at lidl by 9:47 is a good thing, less worry with a run home and even though the GPS didn't work as I hoped, it took 12 minutes to run on cycle paths and up a steep hill or two. But i got home and after a needed thing, I was relaxed and it was the night ended.
