I awoke to go feed the cat...; and, also, very quickly went down the road to dump discarded cat food inside of a public bin half way down the road. (I don't want the smelly food contents inside of the home/and, also, inviting flies.)
Normally, I would have emptied the food into a food bin provided by the council; only I don't know where the hell our food bin has gone...?!
CHECKED TFL WEB SITE FOR MY OYSTER CARD BALANCE...WAS OVER-CHARGED
http://www.tfl.gov.uk
Yesterday, I went by train to go and visit seeing my cousins in Kingswood. The normal cost for the journey both there and back is £7.40.
Before I did the trip...I checked at TFL/Transport For London web site what my current Oyster card balance was: £15.00.
Today, I went and checked online what my current Oyster card balance is...; much to my surprise, it said just: £1.00 left!
This meant they over-charged me; and, I will need to apply for a refund.
PHONED TFL FOR OYSTER CARD REFUND/THEY RE-CREDITED MY OYSTER ACCOUNT £8.40
PHONED TFL FOR OYSTER CARD REFUND/THEY RE-CREDITED MY OYSTER ACCOUNT £8.40
11 AM I phoned TFL on: 0343 222 1234 (8am-8pm daily).
However, their reply was that their systems are, currently, down...and, therefore, I will need to retry, later.
11:30 AM I phoned TFL, again..; and, this time they decided to refund £8.40 back to my Oyster card. I just need to go down the road to make a public transport journey...where I touch my card onto the Yellow card receiver machine...and, the refund should be re-credited.
3 PM VISITED DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY
I decided to go and visit Dulwich Picture Gallery during this Sunday weekend. In fact, there was some slightly stale bread...which -after I smelled it- I didn't feel was fit for human consumption/but, it exhibited no signs of mildew, yet; thus, I wanted to use it to feed the ducks. First, I went and visited seeing Belair Park...which is on the same road as is Dulwich Picture Gallery; after feeding the ducks; I, then, continued my journey on to seeing the gallery.
3:30 PM I entered the gallery...showing them my yearly membership pass...then, I went to see the 'latest; prints exhibition, again; which is something I'd already seen before. It was interesting re-visiting the same exhibition...because, to me, it felt like witnessing seeing everything entirely anew...most of which I'd already forgotten seeing.
4 PM A bell was rung to announce the gallery was giving a FREE tour; so, I decided to join in. The lady explained both the history of the gallery itself...being the first public gallery in London...even before the National Gallery; and, she also told us more about quite a few paintings, I think, it was either 4 or 5; including, Murillo/Gainsborough/Canaletto/Poussain/-etc.
4:30 PM The tour had ended; and, I continued to look around...this time not actually going into the exhibition itself...; but, just looking at the main paintings. My idea was to find something to draw...; but, I got carried away just looking...and, maybe, a bit frightened off trying to copy 'masterpieces'...!
5 PM I decided to leave the gallery; and, go ride my bike all the way back home.
6 PM PHONED ARTIST LIL SULLIVAN TO TELL HER ABOUT MY DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY VISIT
When I arrived back home, I decided to phone artist Lil Sullivan to inform her about my latest visit to Dulwich Picture Gallery; I thought she would be interested because she is a 'printmaker' herself.
Anyway, after trying to explain it all to her over the phone; I decided it might be best to just send her a few email links:

8:30 PM WENT BECKETT HOUSE
I had been promising to go and check out my mum's flat in Stockwell many times; but, unfortunately, I kept on forgetting; don't think I've been there in, maybe, 2 or 3 weeks long.
At the same time, I had to go and get my Oyster card 'refund'...which meant I had to go and use 'public transport' in order to contact my Oyster card onto the yellow card reader.
Thus, I decided to 'kill two birds with one stone' so to speak; and, instead, of riding my bike...took the number 2 bus to Stockwell; then, took a 196 bus all the way back home, again.
At Beckett House I saw a few adverts/and, quite frankly, unimportant letters...all of which I left behind; I took only one letter with me which was my mum's post office card statement...just to prove I went to Beckett House...I could show this to her when I arrived back home.
