A First Calstock Firework Display

 So this is one of those evenings with the winter events kicking in and to be fair, soon it will have to be telling more truths and the review of the year coming up in just over 1 month, it was time to explore a local event and actually with how the Bonfire night, went, it felt right to go to do this. So we maybe enjoy some fireworks and realise why I don't like going to pubs anymore.

A Catchup Day at work

So it was again another day of having to get the bus to work, I ran down and after the 10 past mark, it's like the bus stopped just before the stop to let me on and the driver said "I should have got on further up" But I paid the £3 and then got to the bus station. I decided to then not to wear the mask. I got off the bus at the station and walked to the shop. 

I got into the shop and it was to catch up on previous works and emails to do as well as A laptop to clone over and even some bits with the customers, like passwords, resets and also other bits. 

Later on, my parents popped into the shop and were seated, giving me waffles and a Rubicon bottle. 

The Rubicon and the chocolate waffle 

Then It got some iPad screens apart which was from a plan to get that done for the next week. But it ended up being 17:20 and a toilet was needed since the night before my stomach was rumbling a lot or a fair bit like it was going straight through me, but this probably is stress related since the past fists have been shaking nonstop until the end of Saturday on that side.  But I was on my way home by 18:10 and it was time to get the bus home. 

I got to the bus stop and there were these group of teens just doing their bants, as I got my face mask on, I saw and heard this lady comment about it and how she was being harassed and man enough to set them straight or something, but a few minutes later than planned, the bus arrived and I got on without paying since the return was the one, so 2nd bus there and last bus home. 

But I got on and checked with things like Feabie and metrodle and then it was some bit of time to kill with the signal dropping. But then it was time to get off, but the bunch of teens ended up. getting off after me, So I was then getting out and time to get walking up the hill, It was around the 18:45 mark, and the air was mild which felt right. 

So I got home,. 

The Evening out to Calstock

So, I got back home and then it was time to get changed and shaved, I said about the train times and it was actually later around 19:21 since of the delays that day.   But once shaved and the same clothes on, I got to leave with them and we walked down, the shaking was not as much the Glasses Semi charged and with the Light and cable going with, it helped to be able to charge them on the train for the way there. 

We eventually got to the station, and it was getting to be a bit busy. But still room on the platform an a around 8-minute wait until the train arrived. Using the railcard, i ended up paying £1.95 for a return which is actually cheaper than £3.80 my parents paid for a single each even with the 2 together railcard. 

The Station

AS we got on and then took a seat, it felt nice and comfy also the screens were off but the USB plugs were working nicely too. So i charged iot up and the conductor just came by and I showed the Ticket QR code. Then it was very much coming into the station. 

We got off and then a fair amount walked down the hill. The Path was pitch black but then it lead to the road which was packed, and I mean PACKED, like a gridlock of even dads just dropping off their daughter on the middle of the road and 3 of us squeezing by a card to head down to the quay. 

When we got there it was a MAJOR smell of the WEED, like it was cold air, Crowds in both the social club and the tamar in and the other pub and well it was a chaos of crowds. We walked our way to the car park since the pizza place i bought garlic bread once on a Tuesday. We greeted and she said she sold out but we got a menu with the number on it and well. it was the time to walk about to find a place, it was 19:45 so actually best to kill 15 minutes until the display. 

Eventually we stood near the bus stop and it was showing the opposite side of the river and torches on the other side. Eventually it was time. 

The Display 

Well, it happened about 8:01 and well it ended up a very good performance and whne it thought it ended, it carried on and so many bangs, whizzes and also the reflection, even from the chance of  a boat getting close by but not our problem. I'm surprised i got the glasses to film the whole thing without any hassle but even typing this, I'm not looked at the footage fully. 

The Start of the fireworks, the flashing 

Small Glimmers 

The Pink in the sky 

The smoke and the flares 

A blurry smoke 

A more of a pimk feeling to it 

The colours and the smoke 

The smoke a bit more 

The final bangs the smoke 

So it ended up the 20 minutes and then that display was over, time was finished and it ended up the crowds dispersing slowly, but the pubs were FULLY packed, well except one. 

The Time to kill to just get a drink 

We were thinking on ideas on where to go for a drink or food for our actual tea, so with both pubs full, we decided to go o the Boot in up the road, we walk via the semi little houses, but then it lead to the boot in with the green door. We opened the door and it was very quiet, like only around the bar  a few crowd. We waited for about 15 minutes and this chap got him and his wife served, the wife greeted us with a nod, but then the bartender or bar rep ended up serving this guide in a dark green top with a beard before us, like just skipped by us and after the bar rep served the ones to his left and then we just walked out since it was clear the ignorance was happening here. 

So we walked out and then ended up standing in a 25 minute queue in the Calstock Social club to get a drink, from cute big girls, farmers and even more week and nightclub smells when standing in the queue, we eventually paid £11.20 for 3 drinks and 3 packets of crisps, I got lime and lemonade and chicken wings max crisps in the end. 

The nice handle with the lime and lemonade

Now we chatted abut things and listened to the chatter and all that. But it took the time to work out the ideas and it was to be starting to walk our way up,  this was around the quarter to 10 mark. So we first had to re-trace steps to get mums other glove back, then it was the case of walking back up the hill, the road was dead quiet and not traffic jam at all. But then it was time to sit on the seat and wait for the train. Seeing a be-real that reminded me of a what if didn't help my mind focus. But it was time to do a selfie anyway.

But then the train appeared and we got on and sat by a table, but then it was a smooth ride back, with the train, so we still wait. But eventually by 10:22, we got off the train and walked home. Then from getting changed, we had a late night tea of the ham mayo rolls which worked really nicely. But then it lead to finally go to bed and it was the end of the day. 

But thanks for reading this and its now looking like its gong to the be the start of the end of the year Review, which will takeup ALOT of my time, but we shall see.

The Wet then Foggy Dark Bonfire Night at a distance

 So this was going to be one of those blogposts which I venture the streets of Plymouth to visit the bonfire and the fireworks spectacular which leads me to go to get the bus home like old tradition, but with pandemic and moving, times change so it would be a new way to get home. The vlog is below.

 

Insert vlog here 

But even with strikes on and then cancelled last minute would seem to be the fate was going good, but last minute cancelled does not mean trains are going to run, even as I type this up on the monring. 

The Day of Work  

I wake up at 7:15 to then get the fap in over before 8 and by the time it's 8, I'm up, climax and to do the hygienic side of things. But then changed and one multivitamin tablet later, I'm off to run to the bus stop by 8:09. Taking 2 minutes 50, I get there and 2 people waiting, by the time I turned around, the bus was down the hill and 3 minutes earlier. But got on and paid the £3 return I might use but might not depending on the chores today. Since the rain, things might get called off pretty quickly. But might be 2 visits to sort it out. 

So I get to work and pretty much one customer was arriving sometime for a charge but also more customers to deal with which it just felt on and off. But it was a fair bit of booking into stock to deal with such as the fact of overdue orders for November like God of war and sonic next week. As the rain went past and also with the fun timings of not having to worry about too many customers it was time to just get repairs done like the charging port while watching the romantic killer anime which had a cute conclusion in the end. 

But as time passed on, things worked out and it was nearing the end of the day when a few more customers arrived along with the fact I got an iPad sorted out for the most part which I cracked the screen in a rush from last time. But with 2 calls at the end of the day, I was then to just run out but there was a selfie with a few fans then time to run my way back to the first customer. That was done and I got there. 

The visit was a chatter of bits and some reminders to deal with but on top of that I ended up getting to look for the bits in spar which now offer Dunkin doughnuts too but £4.75 for 4 is a hmm offer. After that it was time to run up the hill to get the bus back which was only a few minutes and 7 bangs nearby to hear before I got home from getting the bus. Some kid and a friend's mum was there talking. With the mask on, I got o the bus and used the return ticket to get there. There was this group of girls and also this guy that was a bit drunk but He got off by the Cornish inn. Then it was a bit of quiet hill. But then I got home and time to get a toilet bit sorted.

The Bus ride Home 

The Evening

 So I got home and it was nice to greet the parents and then I went toilet to check Facebook dating which there was a few more people, but it was getting a bit on the hit and miss, but no luck with the matching on anyone of that type of thing. But we have to think on how it works out. But it ends up. Then it ends up to getting a nice chicken jalfrezi and it does work with the Teriyaki Rice too. But it ends up actually a nice rich menu item which made it nicer, The Salted potato sticks were just so much easily.

But then it was time to get changed again and then head out to film, So i was helping clean up dishes and then ran to a dark part of the Road to then get some shots, the fog was starting to settle in and also that meant to keep the part of making it look good. But it was semi scary running on a main road. But It was then time to explore the views from that road.

The fireworks were visible in some way but it ends up actually seeing the fog coming in. But as i was packing up, a guy was walking behind but then my phone rang and dad and mum were going past a local pub and we then walked the way home but then parents went to another pub which then I walked my way home. 

And there we have it, another day on this and its the final posts or so left before the start of the review of the year which some truths will come out too.
