A Reflection of 2024 (Year in Review) - Part 2

 So this ends up of the next part of the year in review which new challenges comes out and its even things not even mentioned at the time and even more catching up was done. But here we go with September. 


September 


So we start on another sunday and it feels the way to relax and sort out bits, especially was now to prepare of what was to come and it was that was to be the time, but it was interesting on some messages but it was a Lul, since at this time a latter came through which was told to fill in and as that end. The weekend ends and it was time to have a day off which for me was to go to ginsters to get things like breakfast rolls as well as something else and this was the start of when the reva mash potato chicken pots are incredible.

As this time went on, it was coming up to was was meant to be going to court, but that was changed to january and forbid the regret i was going to have with that, but instead it was going to be 2 weeks of pet sitting and time to catch up on things I wanted to get done in-between what ended up to be very long days of work, not the longest as time would happen neared the end of the year but instead this was to prepare for food ideas for the 2 weeks to myself happening soon. As this was happening it was coming to be able to prepare my skin since the legs were get rashes and it was time to get that cooled so it was superdrug to get it cooled which it will help.

Meatballs and Potatoes has become a new mums cooking favourite too 

As it was coming to the end of the time to prepare for having time to to myself and this was to be celebrated with a Fish and chips or more fishcakes and chips, which at least its a local but still it was coming up to find time to get things done after working and chores which was going to be tricky and this was the task to the of what to make, But with leftover bits and the ranges of others it was starting to get used to the habit of chucking stuff in the air fryer while watching hercules to catch up on my childhood memories, the past few years i've had time to do that now.

As things go, it was also the chores for #dogwalkingwithomracer as well as other cleaning and washing at the same time, like it was meaning it was going to be a lot ot catch up with over it since it was that time again of when i will; get time, since getting home was now starting to get darker than in the summer.

The first full weekend to myself was coming up and for a change it was actually to get a nice smoothie and then grandaded invited me to go to a local pub before taking him to B&M to get some bits like even the favourite Toxic Waste ice pops which have a lush sour taste to them too, but that and more walking Rosie at night.

It was soon around the time a new person locally to talk to and some red flags to notice but not a direct like only 1 month or less ago.  which actually when i realised it later on was actually part of a same group from years ago. Same same and eventually previous number from that previous person, a reused number going to someone with the same name first is an actually makes no sense moment or messed up fate.  This was not going to worry me as I Went to LIDL on the way back from horrabridge regulars.

More bits from lidl which includes the case to use as a shelf for work 




Sausages and Space raiders to use with Brioche rolls 


Ik mean it was around this time i finally got the posts of the tweets well former tweets updated from like months of backlog and even as i type this now its another backlog to build up but it was also coming up to a Red moon, so the sky has things coming up. Which was also coming towards some other unique visits as the timings go, with even passing  bridges that were closed for months in the summer due to trucks smacking into it.  That monday after however was the first visit into plymouth to sort a client out which was fine and the rush to go near where I had my first 3 dates was a memory for beholding, and even trhen I did get some time to make it to get on.

As the final few days appear, it comes to having some waffle burgers which was intense using the spreads and the sauces and it was really filling to make, But this was the final few days of my time off, things were updated and the vlogs caught up and work was back to trying to prepare for the big time, since it was close to the end of the month already.

A deeper look at one of the burger 


As the end of the month coming up, more bike rides to see clients in Plymouth were to pop up whi ch some relief in one ways and preparation for things to be sorted in another, since it was also around this time the laptop was burning itself on the way out with the keyboard very close to dying more and even the motherboard and left hinge was starting to go. That was going to take some of the editing plans a  bit harder in one sense and easier in another with borrowing them in work, but it was around the time the Desktop needed its turnup and cleanup too. But even with the fcw t bridge near home was cut off so calstock was the terminus before up the hill to go home, it was selfies on the way after lidl were going to be needed.

With also plans coming in with a girl from the very recent past as even close to finally getting to meet her which was going to be a weekend. This plan was going to be fun as she is into the gain shakes too. The plan was to go to Castle Cary and run up to Shepton since apparently it was around that area.  This plan was the most thrill i could ever have in life and I was hoping this to be true, but like fate, i know things might not work out and that looking back now this makes me usual regret and then the second chances will be what they are. Well hoping in 2025 so far is looking promising. 

 
As the last days of the month approached it was a even to get time to get a more of what to deal with, Since the bike had to be sorted before its too late which was the learning point of eventually this means a train trip yet again to get the bike fixed. Which was Fine and it was even WhatsApp with mum ion deals for a exercise mat due to recovering from things. But that and it was time to have a treat of a Kool-Aid from the imported shop on the corner, since its a nice change, Sure g-fuel is popular but that time has passed for the shop. But it was also seeing the Mass gainer in B&M was a interesting shock exciting for what could happen in the next few weeks.

Which around this time was actually getting to know some other feedees which turns out its all just online only with them and really a regret to feed 2 of a certain group, since it was just that big wanting of repetition and like in a emotional way it was just not even gambling with them, I mean it felt like a chore more than enjoyment.  Which that was soon to end. But this month was going to end.

Which then it was October, 


October, 


This was going to be the big month of life changing and also fate, which for me this year was trying to plan things out which I was not even ready for and my life was going to change for hopefully the better but it was to end up the worst. Its still a blur since of all the daily visits to sort out after the shop and time. But it was nice to have some of those meals especially as this month was going to be a lot of pressure to sort things out in the time i have.

As the final weeks before the big day of the Fair week, it was the time to finally get things prepared, sure talking to local girls that would just be the usual with the replies and delays. The laptop was going to be in its skull of falling, since the motherboard was starting to refuse to charge up or show any lites, especially with the keyboard failing as well this was the tough choice of now its the end of the laptop or maybe something else. But it was also around after this from the ediging, I realised the UGREEN GAN 65W Charger was actually never the fault here which actually shocked me, since it turned out that was charging the laptop which means I could actually get things going and keep using it, but that was for another day after and before 2025 was to arrive. 



As the week of Goose Fair was starting, it was getting hectic in work and even with some plans to sort out in work like Ordering macbooks and also the chance to finish some ipad repairs off. But this was the time I was not focused on that and focused on how this was going to work for the 2024 Fair.  This was going to be the time of anticipation and excitement for the future and also was closed to planning out food ideas for the weekend with the girl from the summer escapades for 2 weeks later, Since heck even on the night of the Tuesday was the last time I heard from her, as i was walking to see the preview of what was to come.

Which then it was time to go back to work and get ready to edit what was going on and also at the same time was to edit a cameo  too, That day i brought the desktop down with me to the shop for making sure i can video edit, since the help of the RX 590 to help render effects and all that. Which once it was about 10pm, it was time to get this edited up and it was this desire to get things cained which for me is important since thursday was my deadline for the main event to be filmed, edited and up.  This time was easier since the rain made it feel closer and it was also that time of using the sleeping bag while on the chair to edit. 


As the night progressed it was getting the video edited and eventually i remember getting to sleep about the 6am mark, which then it lets me wake up to prepare for the final bits to upload before its the time for the main event of the Fair in the day.  Since the Wednesday in itself was a new way to navigate and all yet familiar in return. 




This then starts to prepare to finish  before going  to actually film, like someone came RIGHT into the shop as i got to leave, on a day that was told as closed, sometimes its fate of the worst kind. So it starts on a bad note and more delays before we start on this day. The weather was starting to clear up  as it was and it was the time of nearly 10:30, which when it comes to it, any later and the market would end up being closed, since most of the hype was always in the morning. So it was time to head off and walk to explore the town during Goose fair.

The road to the market #throughglass 




The sheep in the market 




The plants and the stalls 


As time passed, it was the key that the area was fading on its charm and also the advertising was off a bit due to how it was fading from the popularity.  Which for this it was more empty and less of the crowds but this in itself was feeling like it was empty. But then it was time to carry on and then progress to the next part of the tour of the fair.  Which going the back route near the meadows is the nice way, then a damp car park with the fair. Which for me it's the way to just keep exploring.

But then it was clearing up and more exploring to subside with this, maybe my mind was not in it and there were other things to do, but it was the type to see what was going to be, but it was clearing up oin the weather. But the stalls were similar but at the same time there was a bit of new themes to it since like ever year there is that change of social trend which means it will have a different aspect. From bubble tea  to even the other TikTok trends to even something like squid game was there in  keychain form.

Looking back at this and it means to return


Then it was time to make my way back with more treat on the stalls to look  at which then gave me time to reflect on what it could have been. Which for me was a bit of deja vu, especially when it comes to this, but this time its leading to be something i cant even describe. But it was then the walk down to the square which was something for me to consider what to have and the things to explore. But the crowds and weather was getting better and more feeling like it was time to explore. But from no amusements to even the bundles of like 6 boxes of lindt for £60.

More of the crowds in the fair 




More trends 




The catley lorries as usual, 


But as it came to, it was near the bottom of the way, its coming to deals which was like box loads of lindt, which for it was actually a deal of like 3 for £10 on them so like a whole  carton box of lindt for £20 is like incredible, which that took like 3 months to eat all of the boxes, which one was meant to go with for a journey yet to be planned out. But that was purchased and then on my way to carry to explore the square before thinking on how lunch was to be planned out. In the end it was just for a cookie burger.

The crowds

Then it was time to actually get back to the shop after spending £15 on a cookie burger, I had to head back to work which was to finally get the vlog edited up, it was then arguments with suppliers due to release going to shit so i had to deal with that. But then it was time to eat the cookie burger. 

The cookie burger 








But then it was the crunch time to get the editing done which for me was going to be the hours lasting into the evening and it was making sure I was ready and sorting out but time and proceantion passes and it was then time to catch up on this since it was nearing the 8pm mark for the Evening of Goose Fair.






This was also a chance to see what's around as the end of the day since the deals go on, which for me has some of the charm of the glow of the fair and the rain sadly was not holding off which was a shame but the deals were there, the weather was not as cold.

But as it goes the night feels calmer and the rain starts to come in more, some stalls pack up quicker which is the fair way since if its all sold out and  really the fairs still showing the crowds on what it can be like. But it was going to be the case of  having that look around to feel as the rides were blasting and the feeling.

Stalls packing up. 

But the time was passing on, it was getting on the clearance deals, the crowds were much less and also it was me just being tired but it was the end of the day and by 9:11 I was back in the shop and then guiding to finish off the day vlog. But as that editing was getting on, the ideas flipped a bit and the all nighter  was to continue. Which part towards it there was a message that talked on things which gotr intense and snap happened in the end, but I baited in the same traps which in the end was leading me to say at 3am "I fucked it up with"  and it was on my mind and this was fates way of telling on patience before thew weekend to stay over in 2 weeks from then. But it works out from the perspective of time it was only going to be worse. But with that regret out of the way the editing continues and it was then coming to the end of the night and crashed out once the day vlog was sorted.  

That saga ends and it was getting most of the night vlog done until like 2pm since customers STILL wanted to go in the shop so it was all cleared and back to being normal by 3pm which was a papr jammer to fix and along other bits too. Then my mum with her co-worker picked me up which was a final return home after 2 nearly all nighters in the shop. Its made me learn a lesson but it was the most productive on videos i've ever been, well this year anyway. 

The rest of the week was the anticipation for a text which was going to be the case of finally having time to reflect on which for me was going to be the excitement of a lifetime and also on this end of the week was going to be the way to bond with customers that have become friends in the years supporting, so it was nice to be invited for a 90th at the bedford on the saturday for the end of the week which for this was going to be an interesting one. 

The saturday came but it was actually a very warm day, work was getting to be busy with then the fair blasting out from the mid afternoon , which eventually it was 4pm since customers still came in, since the case which I was late for the 90th birthday. So i got there. It was a calm time and nice to enjoy some sandwiches at the same time as catch up with the customer and her friend and family. But as this was the week before something that was supposed to be exciting. The food was nice which made it easier and it was making me fe a bit full, especially as after the vlog it was to cycle my way back to Horrabridge after the look of the Fair in the evening. 





The rides were nice and reflecting and it felt like a indian summer finally appeared which was a nice way, especially as the main events of October for me were normally meant to pass but the reality of it was the week of waiting before my life could have changed forever.

Which then it was coming towards what was going to happen, it was time to end and make my way back to.....actually I had to go to horrabridge, since of a visit to sort out. Since things with this customer went haywire when i closed back in the start of the year. But it was nice to cycle in the sunset with the sun bright and the clear sky, it felt like a nice ending to a busy week.

The mixed of left over food brought back home 


it was expecting the best week to appear in my life, and recover from the 2 days off to get editing done, with snacks in-between and longer nights in the dark and the nights will pull in more and more. Since it was filling loose ends before the big weekend was approaching, talks with what was learning to become a conspiracy with a old talking and scam which later i'll explain that when that happens. But lidl deals and the excitement for the train to see someone is a buzzing expectation.

As the mindset of the next day was meant to be my journey up to Dorset or was Castle Cary in somerset but it was meant to be that day, texts did not even arrive and the nevers were tense, since  it was that moment to either cancel the train or go on and face a road to nowhere, which for me wass the choice to bail out and get the refund from splitmyfare which means that was off the cards and the depression kicked in with the mistakes which lead to talking to new people.  Which lead to some scottish decisions of choosing the wrong people, sure it was going to bite me with regret and actually cost a bit more, but well watching someone eat greggs is semi actually no not worth what it was since the normal way didn't work for them. Especially as it was another trip to trago which parent felt guilty from the holiday going south even though the truth was not what it was meant to be and even for me the truth was not eve ngoing to happen/ 


But it leads to be the issue of what could of happened did not and what if is the piss take of fate. But even months later it was going to be a email from the middle provider asking for food when i moved on. This was that point of it and as time was to progress, it was back to some messages here and there.  but it was that filler talk that gives it that tine, work was still in catchup mode. Especially which from here thr only events left were the fireworks and also the Christmas coming up. The weather was starting to feel autumn and those leaves slipping the ground. But the nights were pulling in more and more.

More late night meals




The selfie and bread 


This was then the time, of a text message, Sunday and that message was finding the truth to find out the girl waa in Hospital with her phone broken. This was just the iceberg that tipped me, It was that feeling disappointment which got me that knowledge of things are back to square one which from this was the key of the repeated of year,s sure not as much wasted on the money wise. But this was that start with how local in the lifestyle was sketchy as fuck.

More Sausage Rolls for lunch


As it comes to it, the week after was coming to the end of October and this was the realisation of how my life is going to be low and more people from leeds is what i waa talking with too, this is how the things will be for the rest of the year will continue and my body will probably suffer for it. But Halloween was alway th charm and churrs were no exception. But a really good deal on some PEanut butter when XXL week was the week after.

November: 


This then leads to the new times and reflection of the month, the times with also work piling on visits to places i've never been before.  but it starts off with cycling to yelverton to a visit for same skype issues and as i cycled back it was the season of the fireworks which for me was the sign of the events of the year coming to an end.  This was also the time of having to deliver Nokia Tablets then cycle home just before the Lions Fireworks started.

But it soon comes to pass, the weekend was to catch up and make sure it was prepared for the week ahead of vlogs, train and fireworks too. Since this was the big moment of making sure, i was prepared Since the first of the trips was to millbrook again after another 2 customers, this was fine but it shows on how the time was really right for the cycle, i mean its better than the first time which i cycled all the way back home. But it was nice to finally explore places before the end of the year, especially as it was reflecting on the past weeks. 



The selfie on the ferry for the first time 




The maps of the next stage

With that and the powder of routers semi working, it was time to head back which the skies go golden at night when taken with the gcam mods and the views sometimes made things to reflect, but the weather was not being kind and i will find out how bad in the week to come to revisit since of admin to get done with the bike needing to fail on me the final time in 2024. 


The view of the city on the Millbrook to torpoint way home 




The rewarding tea from that distance 


Which then it comes to the main event of the fireworks in the mist, which for me was a visit before and also the time to get an errand done which would fuck up the business for weeks to come. Which yes the display was nice for what it was, the weather held off for it but It was nice to be in the city and the lights being prepared before the christmas season. 








This was then the time to go in from the uni way to the ocean city centre plaza for preparing what to needed before it was time to actually go to see the bonfire lit. Bur one thing to prepare was bike lights since of the journeys i would need to take will be ones i need the lights in the dark for, now it was clearly 1 hour back for the clocks changing, and i need ot be prepared and lukcily it semi did help, esiecpally as there was about 10 minutes to rush and get them, plus the crowds were going to the hoe on this time were piling on.

The Ferris Wheel

As i explored it was nice to finally get some time to warm up near the 
bonfire as i reflected on things with what happened last month and if i went too far to expect or if dejavu gets the best, this was also around the itme the elections of the US were taking shape which time would tell if it project 2025 would become more real or if common sense in some ways prevailed. Then the display happened right as i was in the mix of the crowds.

Then it was time to make my way back with going vi the barbican to take some time on this which it was quieter on the paths and even a trance of empty when walking into cineworld, which was to kill time before the main chore to pay cash into the atm in Santander which that was going to be a big flop.

Which then after the dealing with my bank card being swallowed and having to call the bank up with a hope it might come back this was proving to be another fuck up doing something simple and it was leading to mistakes to be made for work in november which the wet weather was making the choice later on. But this was the regret of big banks like Santander. But it was the train home to sort out.

More bits on the way home from the fridge 

As that ended it was back to the grind of getting back to the grind and feeling like its going to be a long november, which orders had to be delayed, phone calls outside to the bank, PS5 Pro  was soon to be out and also the mist in the sky at night had its charms. Sure messages from princesses and other growing girls was nice but the time it takes will be the key of hoping something gets serious, since the local oppostuiiies were lack of even with Angels changing locations.

Then it comes to the weekend which finally i had to get things done, go distances, gets to the point to finally sort the bike out.  Which the process for this was normal and split into 2 days since it was potentially a final weekend using the train and plymouth actually it was not from what was to come.

Then it was the days before and a lidl shop with some deals actually works out the best way to work out 







This started with the bike that have to go with me on the train, ready for it to get the parts it needs to keep going which i was going to be shocked on what was going to happen and the goods I picked up along the way Like even a copy of Ridge racer 6 from CEX which is a miracle of finding that many years later for £15 and not at ebay extortionate pricing, which for me will being some job to finally play the last in the collection of a series dear to me.

But then the cameo ended and it was a nice calm walk back into town to check on things before seeing if the bike was ready which i was going to not be surprised about really on how things were going to wear out on the bike since it as going to end up. The pedal, brake pads and chain was to be changed. Well the chain will have to be ordered  in the new year. 

The view from the hoe 


Now this leads me to go home and relax and reflect on this since it was around the 1pm time, since the bike is not ready to collect and not worth to kill another 2 hours of time. So the 1:20 train was the next step to go for too get home.

But then it was to the second day of this weekend With supersized uni students having issues with printers to even the chance of speaking to a local person which was even close to being from the past but it was ending up another past from years which I was going to find out  later on the connection. But this monday was going to be a wet journey and one of distance, banking nightmares and night cycles. This was only to start with after the bus to get in to Tavi, the rain and the fake snow of a film set to pass by. Before some things to pick up for the shop before another visit on the way with this and for me Then to go to lidl to get the bus. 

The fake snow and the rain




Lidl in the soaking autumn 


The bus was damp and yet quiet on the bus which then it was time to get into the city to pick up the bike and pay into the bank from the drama on the Bonfire night. Which it was then still soaking wet for the part which is a pain but had to be done. Eventually picked up the bike after getting from the station to Evans and turned out the chain was on the way out. Which after was time to park it and get money paid in which for me felt drained and depressed for it. 

Picking up the bike 



Then it was time to call this  customer and say I'm on my way to see them, so it was a cycle to then go on the Torpoint Ferry to then go over the river to then cycle my way back to millbrook, which the dusk was coming in and then with a network to ring it was a bit of a chore and 4G calling has some work to sort out. But eventually it was then a long cycle back but still quick enough to get the train back before it arrived and that little bit of lateness helps.

As far as weekends go, this was not my final one as i thought, ok sure it was the last monday I had off in 2024 that wasn't in the christmas mix-up but it was still the time of having to work as normal and it was feeling the  pinch of back to normally. Sure it was getting the preparation for Black friday the week after next and sure it was more flirting and late nights for visits with the weather having this overcast cloudy over which was  making it nicer to get home in these parts. But as the day ends messages were there and its was coming up to possible the start of new conversations which could have been a chance for something special in 2025 and something to look forward too. Little did i know this was not going to be the case

This was also the time it was a number exchange which then my google account would do the 2 and 2 together but later on its going to be the change of maybe i overstated but it still goes to the chance of will things go better.  Especially as this was the time the PS5 Pro was to sell but how things go out of control with the shop.  Instead was more chance of leftover meals with late nights and microwaved meals.

As I was able to con tinue chatting with a new girl that was wanting to get quite serious to the point numbers were exchanged pretty actual quick, with big goals, maybe ones i might never get that far but 2025 is the conclusion of where the davelle lies. Plus it was  some advice with usb drives that will also bite from helping customers on my visit travels back in the summer. Like a used usb dual drive not being compatible when it was actually used on the CCTV box is a vibe of entitlement. 

But this was the final, is week of support and planning orders since the week or 2 to come was the start of Dickensian and December for the final month. Which black Friday approaching and knowing even more things were going to go go bad.  But its what it is, so in my way minus a part of a trio wanting more meals which if i did would go nowhere since in September both of us realised it was not going to work out since she's not into meeting so it would be online only to the point I'm not even supposed to know her name. But work still carries on and even one gifted sandwich from boots was a touch too. 

A smoothie and toastie for breakfast again on the sunday




More late ham and even gherkins




Meatballs was a popular meal for some of the nights 




The christmas sandiwhs for much in work 




Chicken tikka with classic extras 

Then it was the final month to tackle and things to prepare for. 

December. 


Well this is where the fun really starts, the last month of the year, Things are not even comprehending and even on the 1st day with things being complicated when the weather was starting to get worse and also with me having to get that chance to chat and get the bike cleaned when the weather was drying the month in weather term,s since Storms will be approaching. 

More toasted Sandwiches 




The sausage roll with chilli 


Then it was sorting out products and making sure it was ready and semi clean for dickensian but also with hope of a build to help a work friend out with which was going to be taking up most of the week. I mean it was nice and easier the first 2 days of the week since CMlink of £18 per year for a sim card arrived in which heck even i got that in October.

Egg and chicken for a tea on a night home and burger sauce being cheaper too 




The CM link Sim cards


Which then for this was coming up to the big day, a MAcbook had to be setup and this was one one of the longest nights i've done in months, which Essentially i got home about midnight from working and even a visit inside a visit. I mean even this was late by my own standard.s But that is what the bike is for which helps me get around. I mean this was even after filming the last cameo of the year.

But then it was more visits to catch up and the day before Dickensian and big visits were about, since regulars wanting editing advice for storms on the sea which is actually a nice project but it takes alot of my time to sort out.

More lefoer bits when I got home. 



So then it actually lead to the main event of Dickensian, which the storms coming up over the weekend caused it to be cancelled but it was also the right time. But this is the time of motherboards going and learned how one screw can fuck it all up even with a support call to MSI in the usa, But while this happened i opened as normal which had some sales but then the phones went, the emergency sirens coming. this was a new storm which was getting serious, and i was going to be lectures on simply working was going to cause stress. But it was more mild compared to the 2023 december when it was minus one when getting a lift home instead of staying in the shop. But this year was another regret to go home for this.

Rice krispies and noodles with sausages airfried for a 11pm night 


This was then the weekend of Storms and learning how the training to get home was going to pay off, this was Storm Darragh arriving and actually I was very lucky in the route I had taken for the evening did not kill me. But this was the start to actually run into work from how the winds the feeling strong, Well on the way way into work running it felt like that a bit and this was in turn was going to be a painful. Like especially with 3 visits after work that day. 



The selfie on the way into work 




But as worked ended it was time to ger the things done and 3 visits in the same area was going to commence Which for me I was jus about to get one done then go home but it was that time of getting it doen else it means longer nights ahead on that side of the week after and this was close to being working on sundays which was going to piss offer even more people and exhaust me for that sure. time was not on my side and arguments over the phone was to happen by the time of the second visit. Which even that was for a short time before going to the 3rd one which was quick but at the same time was hectic. But even after this was the case in the point of it was eventually 8pm and ready to go home, But with calling to find out a road was closed, this was where the running home would take its toll of actually being the best way to get home for once. like it was think and cold of the strongest wind i've ran in but how it did not let me die in the trees above the canal is final destination vibes. 


The canale ghosted in the flash o the phone 




Its a bit better here 




Ok maybe not as much 




Theniis show hardly any of it as ll

This Then concludes on oe the storms i endured in the year, with the legs of mijne and how they coped is still a mystery which next year might be more of te same i and i will not lie it is something to brace myself for once the Legal jury side sorted things which i was no way prepared for that in the month ahead. But this was then to relax after the storm to pass before catching up on another mondays of the final few ones to go .

A nice smoothie and toasted sandwich




A Roast at a local pub




A nice salad and lighter meal in the evening 


But then it was the next step of the storm, the oversight and it was going to be a long distance home again which due to A Horrabridge visit was the case but it was then the way home which was going to be things to block it . Which means it was going to be the case of having to move the bike around the Fallen trees from the Darragh storm . Like i got the bike under the tree with a bit of leaning over.

The same shot but right in the dark

Then more ham and the Garlic Aioli from morrisons



The leftover tea 




Then it lead to the prep work for Christmas, with some releases going up in the month, Plus the orders on the tech side was going to be intense. Especially when I was having to plan out to prepare for the new year and the cosing to get the accounting updated while jury was going on.  But more waffles , sandwiches and even chatting to princesses was going on .

The gifted sadnwich




Waffles with A Shepheard's pie i think it was 




Now this was coming up to a unique message which turned out was from someone in my life from years ago and turns out she has grown, finally drives and also the start of leaning for the conspiracy of the locals were linkeds to those from the same area as this. The message was basically wanting to try again and Ho i really did help her gain, but when it was back in the spring of 2022 it felt much more of a one-sided affair. This was making it feel conflicted of the What iuf moment to try to re-repat with a different outcome or was it to end up going the same way. Of course give it a couple of days and then the disappearing came and made me realise that was going to be the case of no return. But its still to keep going with some snacks and late night visits .



Gherkins with the nixed rice and breas was the key to have  as well 




The mash potato and special K with Biscuit spread hits it 



This was also the time of a weird time of more messages from this girl that was on about scammers but then wanted upfront for a gfe which its a unique but well not for me, which then rejecting that was a semi awkward part. This makes it a the meh reasoning and time to recall just catch up with more northern princesses instead which actually filled the time to catch up while working intensely, with like the planing.  This was also the time of longer nights which like it was getting home like at 11pm to then eat.

But as it comes to the final full week before the Christmas festivities, Which actually for a change was the point to go to Homeleigh to return  items that was broken but also good to see the lights and given ideas for me and even with the infinity looks which reminds me of a Vida case .

The toasted bagel is a nice touhc 


I mean it was nice to have some of the cafe which a nice sausage and chips is a classic before looking at those lights and seeing the views, it feels more like a late autumn instead of a winter december which felt better.

The overnight leftover dinners 


This then lead to the finally week before Christmas and it was a fucking blur. Sure talking to someone which was close to something real that could be But my mind was going to realise this is too good to be true. But more late nights and meals to go, with some seasoning here and there. Especially with the forcing to try to typing this up of the beginning months which was different. Plus another girl that had a carer that was growing nicely was a good chatting to enjoy 




More Selfies on the way home

Chicken pieces and crisps to  go with some potatoes too 




Rolls then chicke ntikka and even more crunchy nut makes the taste here lush 


But then it was Finally time to get things done on the weekend before christmas, the weather was lush and it was time to finally get some of the Presents for Christmas for 2024. With the lush weather and final time of sunday off before the new year approaching, it was worth the gamble. A Shopping trip to Exeter 





 This was a nice time for this to go, which for me was the way to go. The train trip was a nice one and even with some breakfast from the community fridge to go with it as well. I do regret this late one but the tasty snack is nice. But as i got to plymouth the weather cleared up. 

The food for the journey 




Trains and sunrises at stations




The view of clear sky in Plymouth





So this then was the train ride and made me realise it was the time of why i must remember my passwords since I was locked out of my surface for like 20 minutes before Windows hello worked out. But eventually it was passing the coast  of Dawlish. Its still nice and sometimes makes me want to move there.

Nearing Starcross 

As then it was arriving it was then too late, the train at Exeter ST Davids passed and then it was time to just run into town to see if bus to ikea was easier to get to, which then was the run up the hill then passed exeter central to get to the bus stop on the main street. Even though the bus is nto poto 2pm. but then back and forth to exeter central to see if it works out, Especially seeing the lawn by the cathedral was ruined from the christmas markets the weeks before.

Seagulls and walls

But as trains and  stations being ignored due to delays, it was a odd situation which for me was then no point to go to ikea else it would be harder to get the shopping done. So to explore the city was the key, From the coach bus station to even seeing the decor in princesshay too. But it was nice to get some bits for shopping around of gifts for family for Christmas. Which sometimes its the places of unusual will work really well. 

More decor




Trees from the community 








The quay entrance 


As things go some gifts for my sister were the best to get from here so that was the way to go and makes sure there were some gifts to get for the rest of the family too.

Candles 




The rain and the quay under the clouds 


As then it was time to make my way back into the city while passing the heritage and historical part of the city. From the Sandstone bricks but anyhow I got my way back to the city in somewhat for the last bits from a pound stretcher and minus other parts left for presents for the family to sort out But like sauces for that price was a good bargain while the horns blasted on a cross roads. But more browsing and it was time to get the train home. since this was going to be the shortest day of the year the day before so night will swoop in. But A trip to the oriental store in the corner is the way to go.

The last minute bits from the Pound stretcher 




More bits from Poundland




Still a very moorish affair




The selfie on the main street


As time was going on, it was time to make my way back to the station since it was getting darker and there was a text from the potential chance with someone in the 2025 year that in itself will be a story to tell.  But that was waiting for a train which one was delayed but another was arriving quickly since less delays from cardiff instead of london. 


The globe as the run to the bigger station is to be 




The waiting for the platform 




The surface and the night kicking in 


Then it was getting in and the train home was already there so it was the time to wait for the other train before getting back home to pick some bits up in the Fridge for some of the days ahead before the big day. Sometimes it still reminds me that a late night train journey is the key I will need to do in the 25 year. 




The Station at night 



Noodles and Salad from the fridge 




The selfie 


This was also the time for dominoes for a repetition to make sure the past down not happen again which the 25 year will prove this probably wrong. 

A pizza order 



Wit this is was then the final days before the 2 day off before the Christmas Day break, this was going to the be the day the time for a desktop to be rushed on christmas eve was the painful part but time will let me get it built. This is sometimes the consequence of having to rush orders but that was more working around it and then it was then time to just about get the bus home and have a leftover meal before Christmas 2024 begins.

Leftover mashups for the 23rd

Then it was fapping and getting things sorted. Since it was delayed and the fog coming up, a cold for me starting to happen and it was actually one of the quietest Christmas's i've ever had which was good taste with some netflix films, a filming in a burger oodiee and even some of the merry christmas messages too. 






The selfie while filming 




Picking saald up in the morning 

But then it was to just get this editing before it was just me and parents for the christmas meal, it was nice and it felt a more peaceful experience. 

A nice normal sandwich for breakfast too 




The christmas meal or roast pork 



This then leads to the speech of the king which was a more calm expression of this time and reflection of the year. Which the hope of the new changes will finally make its way to improve the world but instead that will be left to decided. But after this was time to relax and watch a film while letting the presents finish themselves off in terms of handing them around, since some of the family ones would be as month later until them gone. 

The Kings speech 




This lush primark warm hoodie




The rest of the presents for sure 


But then it was relaxing which then lead to finally take it easy and the body reasting for another date with the Boxing day the day after. This was more of a anticipated chance which for me the same boxing day meetup which to be honest was the usual time and misnu a person from the past messaging me for some xbox advice, it was nothing to note really and some good buffet food and also my sister left early too which we followed on shortly after that to get home and then relax and catch up with things, it was actually the relaxing one and some good presents too .

Then it was back to work for the twixmas days which would be like the final weekend of the year which has things, but even with one fake member on signal  actually trying to blackmail me with fake nudes from some random thing, like even when trying to call me on the WAY HOME FROM WORK FOR A SELFIE and when i refused made some fake pic up minus downloading some of my old pics like um.. ...

The leftover meal with onion rings, Honey mustard chicken , Oreo donut and even ham




The threat on signal 

Then it was the final days, with the toast and me joining together to reach out on scammers on the feeeb to even more the crushes speaking and plans on whatsapp for what can happen. It was feeling it, then i was being a bit tired and as much as i regret, i took NYE off which helped me catch things up. Especially as the final dogwalk to the field in the year and also it was nice send offs with some people and the send off with the fireworks before the new years of video editing until my body nearly crashed out.

That's it, 2025 is finally here and the review of this next year will be wild in its times from what i would not expect, Ok Jury service in January and then the same old working and attempts for the same thing after might b the case here. 


Take care and 2025 we'll catch up more i hope.
