So this has been the start of the busy weekend period, I kid you not and even with some evenings have been hectic to the point I've had lectures, there was some breaks but it turned out to be going to the point it was the final weekend of not rushing about before the end of the year blogpost to start off as well. But due to how things turn up, my life is pretty much saying there is no vlog on this at all, maybe some clips.
The Final week of November,
To be fair, the gossip for November will be in review of the year, but the final week was actually quite calm, with a final Sunday actually not getting doing some bits which I could sort out and it was also a week since the end of the scams and having to loan what i thought i had loaned.

But it was finally time to get the bike tyres sorted in the rain every so often on the Monday, as I ended u[ getting the train back. The Monday started off a a bit of small rain and it dried up as I was heading towards the city and Estover to pickup some phones which gets me to the point of warranty is just a word but customer services is one of those things that had to be done right no matter how much things are going to to cost. Then it was getting to the centre of the backroads by plymbridge which in turn was actually a quiet little cheat to get here and never realised, but its a one way for the hills since it is steeped. This was where i did a cameo for a birthday for their 29th.

Then iut was the cycle in the dusk to the city and it felt surreal in some ways, but the lights were getting to be needed and it was the clear sky that made it feel nice and lovely to look at, even if i nearly hit s bike on the pavements due to the lights. But instead I got to the city in the near dark and the tyre went out just I as i got to the Bike shop.

Then it was getting the tyres done since the chap was not as busy and I was desperate as he called it, so we both did bits and got the tyres fitted on and paid about £15.50 before I parked it up and explored the city in the dusk, this week was going to remind me of the time I spent when i laste saw christea and it was going to hit me in the feels at times. From seeing Game in sports direct and even the PS Back button to the fact there is a cake box now in Plymouth but last i saw that was North finchley. Plus I got some trainers from Primark for £10 of something less slippery.

Then it was 18:20 and a rush to cycle to the station and buy the ticket was done while seeing only 1 advent calender in B&M so that was a bust, but I saw a eal with £1 for a mango passion fruit drinks in smiths so I grabbed that then boarded the train.

Then I got on and relaxed, but the bike was swaying and fell over which messed the chain up, as I found out when i got back off the train and tGunisklae and tried to cycle home, but then walked up the hill home. Then it was a nice bit of leftovers to enjoy before then to try to catch up with some bits, which I was soon approaching the time to plan out starting thr end of year blogpost, but that never happened.
Then it was working the rest of the week which was going to be busy , the visits were not as bad as last week but with Dickensian coming up, I expected it would be an all nighter. But using the bike was to practice getting things ready to clear the place up since of wanting to do entertainment for that night, Which 2 of the nights was to haul stuff back, since the Tuesday was only 2 visits locally in walking for normies distance and the thursday was a visit on the way back, But it got the way i wanted to clear a fair bit out of the way for this weekend. But it was nice to get a Mash potato for tea on that night.

The nights were not as long compared to other weeks , but the next day was the first time to get going of a visit closer to the new home and that meant it was to go up the hill and then get some milk but there was some red grape juice in asda for like £1.50 and it actually has a lovely tasty, even nicer than shloer for the sweetness and as the winter party drinks are going to be popular, it is and feels worth the shot on that side of things.
Then it comes to the final day of the month, with hardly much talk on messages and work was getting to catch up with the preparation of dickensian stock, since of the range of ideas, plus it was also the time to organise and clean the shop up, which takes a few goes in this week but it was the case in point. I managed to load the bike up and then it was time to cycle out, that was 1 hour later than i should but time and cold hands could tell it was getting trickier. I'm not sure what was to be done but it was going to take time to reflect on this and make it work. Whch I did but it was going t make it into its magic of a few boxes and SFF desktop cases cleared up. Plus I sent a PS5 to a Youtuber to get repaired.

I got home and then t was time for cottage pie and coco pops with salad cream.

Then it was more online work before it was time to call it a night and start to get the blogpost of this one sorted out.
Dickensian Day 1st December.
Eventually the evening was coming to pass and it was getting colder, Which I was trying to get some parts such as extra card reader and was close to getting money paid into the bank , but instead I went to go -op to buy a bottle of Water for £0.67 which then I got back in and got the preparation for the outdoors with the Extra Cardboard totems up.
But then customers came in about 5pm which then it was the start of the evening together, the skyclear and the lights brights too, Well since they were going to be on around the 6pm mark for when those lights outside turned on. This was the peak of customers going in for the most part. Since it was not long after that street performers were standing outside the shop, this was while some customers were coming in.
But time passed and it was time for a spot of chinese food, So i walked myself to the toilet first which then was time rto ca bit of squeezing through pepper in the chimney swwep.Birds next was not too bad but a few delivery baskets so I started to make my way to the Cantonese near the co-op and that was not as bad in the market street, area, it was more dull and not as bright with lights too.
Eventually i got there and a few people in the queue, I ordered :
- 1 x house special rice = £7.70 ish
- 1 x Chips = £3.00
- 1 x battered chicken balls with BBQ sauce dip = £6
- 1 x Crispy seaweed = £4.40
- Total £21.50 near abouts
So that was all the money gone (had to borrow from the till for this due to the circumstances from the 2 weeks ago) then I rushed back n the main crowd to get back to the shop with it, it did feel nice. By this time it was neariung the 7:45pm mark so it was getting quiet.

By this time it was then to eat the chinese and try to finish the stock to book in but then it was time flying by and toral war iii downloading due to pressure from him wanting me to play it when i get the time to play it. But it was getting much colder and then soon to pack up nearing the 8:30 mark and a neighbour asked how i was getting home wo it was a "I'm staying in" then she insisted me to get a lift with her home since he passes my way. So that meant it was having to rush to pack up about dead on 9pm, which to be fair, the past hour was no more sales on that regard anyway.
Then it was rushing around to find half of the bike lock which i never found, and by 9:20, I was leaving and walking to the main carpark to get home , in the freezin clear sky.
We had to wait about 10 minutes before the car windscreen had to be de-frozen then we were off and a few chatters here and there before I got dropped off at the station. Which then was a nice walk back up the hill and seeing the night in full bloom before getting in and a nice comment from parents on having to get a lift in.
Once in, it was changing and a chat before them going to bed and me typing this post up until the 1am mark or so in the morning, since the energy from gufel is starting to now show its true self now or my body is getting used to it more and more.
The Saturday:
Another morning and missing the buss so I was nagged to get a lift in and ten once dropped off, it was time to catch up on some of the stock to really book in and it was that and more of the catch up da. From picking ui the monitor that dropped while chatting to a customer, selling router, then stock too booi in even with one that was going tobe a iou gift of PAC-MAN World REPAC was my jam and anticipated title, though the pce version was £8.24 the week before compared to £19 now on PS4 or PS5.
But my conscience had to head me and testing out these new trainers to get home which I used to a customers after the shop to make sure their printer was working ok, and I was then rushing back from Whitchurch atround 6:10 pm to then just about miss the buss by monksmead by about 2 minutes when it was halfway on that hill by 18:35. This run via crease lane and colcharton, was going to cause blisters on the feet, maybe new trainers rubbing but it was not the toes that blister unlike the boots that cause that part, it was the sides of the feet itself which rubbed and it was very sore each press. Plus it was pissing it down by the time I was getting to the last of the 2 hills of sandy hill.
Eventually I was home about 7:45 which was nice and the food bank had a nice cabbage and spring onions to grab from it, Then it was to make a nice chicken tikka masala with extra chinese curry and then add some peanut butter plus extras after, while watching batman on netflix which that just came out the past week or 2. Plus mum had a head cold too.

Then it was to relax and continue typing this up since it was needed this was about until 1:30am and then crashed out with the ipad until 2am for a short sleep before another working sunday.
The sunday:
I eventually woke up at 9:15 after a fap and having to pop to the toilet and let finely in from going out, since a welsh message came on the feabs from someone i've fed a while ago and going on about the christmas foods and party foods for this time of year.
Once up it was q quire attempt to download a ios update but 4 hours is a no for that and by 10:10, i was cycling off to my first visit to sort a warranty jove out with a a04s to a iphone. Which mostly worked out without having to wait for 17.1.1 to download.
By about 12:45, I was off to cycle to the shop to pick up bits ,which was for another visit, but i popped in to smotusj to find the lidny advent calendars were looking to be £4.75 each so that was all 3 off us sorted out for £14.25. total, then i rushed out to the visit and that after getting passwords wrong, got sorted out around about the 17:10 time which then was another cycle back to the shop, which was fins but then a rush by 17:45 of are you on your way home yet made me rush to load up old printers but by this time it was pouring it down and the straps were NOT holding on which made it collapse as i got to the road behind the market, that pissed me right the fuck off and having to get it sorted.
But eventually i hauled it by hade without the carboard slipped until just outside the alleyway, to then i just gave up and got what i needed, then cycled home in the pissing rain, sure it was about 40 minutes and all but I got there and was soaked getting home.
Then it was leftover casserole and dumplings to cook while parents went to bed about the 8pm mark, they liked the lidl advent calendars though, but that food was nice when added in curry power ed and salt chilli ten watching more barman as well until about midnight while trying to finish this post up. To then leading the cat in about 0:45 before crashing out for the monday.
