Hello lovely Steemit friends. @Dayleeo here with the second shift of our Steemit day bringing you a #WalkWithMe PhotoStory from our trip to a nearby city yesterday...
I say second shift because it’s nearly 11am and I’m just getting to my computer. @teamhumble has been up since 4-something am, crushing it, and I’ve been in bed with a nasty toothache since last night. As it turns out, he’s just laid down for a nap, and my morning coffee is just kicking in. Shift two commence!
Yesterday morning we packed up our respective bags for the day, headed out into the early morning mist for a trip to one of the major cities nearby so that @teamhumble could see about getting a laptop fixed that has been out of commission for a while now.
Christmas aftermath still in effect in town like a visual hangover lol...
We really used to enjoy what we affectionately called “laptop club” once a week, which was effectively us doing our regular work, but in a coffee shop lol. Change of scenery man, I’m telling you, it makes all the difference to a work week. And as I learned at Steemfest 2, blogging with phone and laptop just isn't ideal.
First, two breakfasts. And on to the bus stop to wait for the second bus which would bring us to our destination. While we waited I picked up some packages (including some more arm knitting wool! ;) ) from the nearby Amazon locker...
And spent some of the change that was weighing me down on a 3 for 3 face mask sale...Yessss.
I literally cashed in 15 .20 pence coins at the register. Thankfully the girl working the till didn’t mind. Damn I hate coins (fiat problems amirite???!).
UPDATE. One of them made my face silver.... Tin man vibes strong.
MOVING ON!
We still had a little bit of time before the bus so we took a walk around the block and did some window gazing, and of course like nerd-moths drawn to the flame, found the StarWars memorabilia display....
Once we got to the city we had some awesome news that the laptop was fine but just needed a new power cable! WIN!
So Mouse lead the way to a stunning coffee shop so we could celebrate with caffiene and a sit down in a cozy corner.
I ordered a Flat White with almond milk, and it was DELICIOUS. Those long smooth restretto shots always get me.
Of course I took a zillion photos for @nomadpictures but I'm thinking of adding these to a huge downloadable "Coffee Pack" of CC0 photos to download on our Gumroad. Let me know if that's something you'd like to see, and I'll make it happen!
OK sorry, it was just SO DAMN GOOD. I didn't know how much I missed a good espresso. ;)
Of course, if there's a LUSH anywhere within a walkable radius, you can find us standing outside practically drooling and enjoying the hypnotic smells...
Before I knew it I was through a magic portal which delivered us to... The homemade pieclet stand!
If you've never experienced a pieclet, I'd describe it as the holy matrimony between a crepe and a crumpet. Maybe? The Brits of Steemit might have my head for that comparison but it IS delivious!
@teamhumble has a bit of a "thing" for parking garage shots. I don't blame him, angles and lighting galore. So we stopped to take a few pics...
Here's the bit of the day that really deserves it's own post, because our dinner was STUNNING. But here's the aftermath...
EDIT! That very post is now UP! You can read it HERE! WARNING: DELICIOUSNESS AWAITS!
More on that soon... ;) -- Our our way out, accross the street, the window shopping gods granted us this hilarious scene...
How does that saying go? Winter is inevitable, being cold is optional, right?
The beginning of the end of our day started with this STUNNING Lemon Dream Pale Ale...
And ended with a muddy sunset trek through the fields so that we could enjoy some time by the fire at our local pub... <3
It was one of those " 'round the world and back again " days but I was thankful as can be to have had it. A lovely day, with perfect company, delicious treats and about 16k steps! Can't complain about that!
Thank you for coming with us on our little excursion!
Until next time Steemit!
Dayleeo
