I ordered an Amazon Kindle e-Reading machine equipped with keyboard(140.00)/Wifi & 3G; also, with leather cover case, and, light(40.00); and, too, 3 year insurance from SquareTrade.co.uk(29.00). The total cost was over £210.00+!

My Amazon Kindle with accessories was delivered to my door by the postman. It's been fun learning to get to grips with understanding 'new', and, totally unfamiliar technology to me. I'm amazed that the 3G connection is alway on; which allows me to download books 24 hours per day no matter where in the world I am; plus, the Kindle can store over 3,500 books! I have 7 days to send it back, if I wish; however, I don't think it's likely I'm going to do that; because I've been enjoying using it far too much; the sheer convenience of having all your books stored inside of a portable, and, pencil thin machine. All I can say is, wow!
I also went and brought a fish tank; together with 2 gold fish from Streatham Leigham Court Road fish shop. The first tank I brought was too small(3.50); so, I immediately went and replaced it with one much bigger(18.00). Only trouble is, about 2 days later one of the goldfish died; I had to go and buy another goldfish; so that the other goldfish wouldn't be left lonely. I'm not sure why the previous goldfish died?! Did I over feed it, possibly? Or, did I not change the water frequently enough? Or, maybe, I changed the water too quickly; so that the new temperature was too uneven? It could also be just one of those things/or, possibly, that goldfish was sick to begin with; as the other goldfish is still alive; but, if any more goldfish die; then, I might just be tempted to give up this hobby.

I went to visit my friend Errol Townsend in Brixton. His sister came to take out their crippled mother for the day inside of a wheelchair. Me and Errol both stayed in playing chess. I won one game/and, he won one; so, basically, we're evens.
I also brought him 2 canvases...one big/and, one small/together with some paints. I brought some paintbrushes, too; but, he said he didn't want them; and, so, I must take them back; which I did.

I received a parcel of a book, called, Life of Picasso Volume III, by author John Richardson; which I paid for through eBay.
I went and joined UniversalClass.com...where I paid money/and, then signed up to take the following classes; all of which I have, at least, 6 months to be able to finish.
> Art, one stroke brush
> CSS
...and, I'm also thinking of taking Poetry online, as well.

I went down to Streatham to get back my Dulwich Picture Gallery pass card from my fellow Morley College student Alison Angus. Then, I went off cycling around. I ended up going through Tooting Bec(Tooting Athletics Track...they have MMA classes there), Wandsworth(passed by Wandsworth Prison), Putney(brought 2 T-shirts/and, some pairs of socks inside of Sports Direct sale) , Barnes(went inside of the exotic pets store/passed Putney Leisure Centre), Clapham Junction, Clapham, Streatham.
When I got to Streatham, I decided to go and buy a new goldfish to replace the one that died; the cost was less than £2.00. The guy in the fish shop was kind enough to trust me to pay him, later; because he said debit card has a minimum payment of £5.00. Anyway, I went home; replaced the goldfish; then, went back down the street and paid the man with a £2.00 coin.
I came back home, again; and, then, decided to leave to go back to Putney High Street at around 4PM...as I wanted to take a Kung Fu class at Lacy Street...between 7PM-8PM. I arrived in Putney somewhere around 5PM; I brought myself a bike safety helmet(£34)/together with 1 x 5 metre 2 plug electrical extension leads(£3.50) from Halfords. When I got to the Kung Fu class; they said it's far too early; so, I went and took a walk; I brought £5.00 worth of chocolates from a fancy chocolatiers shop. The Kung Fu lesson was loads of fun(I was one of 3 students; a short oriental guy, and, a tall english girl; + the male teacher); I especially enjoyed the fact that the 1st class is FREE! I'm not sure I will return there to go take more of those Kung Fu classes..which will need to be paid for; but, I might take other classes which are also FREE; for example, boxing is on Thu; and, that 1st class is FREE, too.
I came in late/and, feeling really tired. But, I felt I had to write a blog post before I go to bed; just in case, I do otherwise forget everything I recently went and did in the last few days!
