Thu 25 July 2019 Record heat: 38 degrees/Missed art class: 2PM-5 PM/TV License fully paid until JAN 2021

04:55 AM EARLY MORNING, STILL HOT...AND, QUITE LIKELY, TO GET EVEN HOTTER DURING THE DAY WHENEVER THE SUN COMES UP

Yesterday, I checked the weather report...and, it said that today Thursday 25th July 2019 would be one of the hottest days ever on record...38/39 degrees is the weather prediction.

LATEST WEATHER REPORT:

05:12 AM 21 degrees.
8:40 AM 25 degrees
9:36 AM 30 degrees
13:02 PM 36 degrees
19:14 PM 31 degrees
19:43 PM 30 degrees

THE EFFECTS THAT SUNSHINE HAS ON ME

The sunshine tends to affect my behaviour in either one of two ways...

A> It makes me feel 'up'...; and, therefore, I really can't wait to get around and 'move'....

B> It makes me feel 'down'...; meaning, weak, tired, depressed, drained, dehydrated, confused; then, I feel I just wish to stay in and sleep.

I feel that today, however, quite unlike yesterday when I had no 'strict' going out schedule to follow; today, I will most likely tend to go out a lot...using the sunshine to help boost my energy.

TODAY'S SCHEDULE

I wish to...

1> Go down to my local CoOp supermarket store to stock up with some shopping items
2> Check out my mum's Beckett House flat...to see if there are any important letters to pick up
3> Go to Tate Britain to do some drawing
4> Go to FREE art class Ackerman Medical Health Center 2 PM-5 PM
5> Possibly, go to Aikido at Kingswood House Library 6:30 PM-8:30 PM...that is, if I can afford it(will need to find £20.00 from somewhere, at least)?! 

Then, again, due to the nature of the weather...; and, me feeling really hot, bothered, lazy...I might not go out at all.

LATEST UPDATE

As it is, I only got one task done, and, that was it. Oh well, the rest can wait until another day.

05:19 AM TV LICENSE ALL FULLY PAID UP: 2019-2020

https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/

Checked to see if my latest TV License bill has been paid; that is, to see if my last payment went and cleared. Yes, they received the £24.50 I sent; and, now, my balance says: £0.00 owing. The total bill is: £154.50 yearly. I think, I'm covered for this year: 2019...all the way up until...year: 2020; then, I'll have to start making regular monthly payments all over again.

LATEST UPDATE
15:15 PM I phoned the TV Licence people in order to discover when my next payments will be due. They answered:

Next due payment of £154.50 is: JAN 21 Next pre-payment plan schedule to start July 2020...so, basically, I don't have to pay anything further...not until when next year July comes.

NOTE: I cannot live without having a TV License...as I need it to watch both TV(which I tend to leave on running all the time: 24 hours non stop)/and, also, so that I can get to use the internet(I need the internet to do serious studying/research).

7 AM WENT DOWN TO MY LOCAL CO OP SUPERMARKET TO DO SOME SHOPPING

I decided to walk down to my local West Norwood CoOp supermarket store to do a quick bout of shopping. Rather than ride my bike, walking would allow me to get more of the 'cool breeze' which is only available on the outside.

I went and brought...

£5.00 5 x Bannanas @ £1.00 each
£7.50 3 x Tiramisu (cream desert) @ £2.50 each
£3.00 3 x bottles of Orange Lucozade £1.00 each
£5.00  worth of top up electricity (for downstairs/where the lights went off)

So, the full cost of shopping was around: £20.50 worth of shopping.

(NOTE: I used a discount card which takes around 10% off. Though, you don't get any discount off electricity.)

I was looking to find my mum; who had gone from the kitchen to outside in the garden..I guess, to get some fresh air in order to cool down. She came back inside of the home...after around 1/2 an hour.

12:12 PM WOKE UP/EXPERIENCED A SMALL STOMACH UPSET

I must have went to sleep somewhere around 10 to 11 AM...anyway, I woke up at 12:12 AM just gone past midday. Had a stomach upset...and, had to go to toilet.

Well, what the hell can you expect when you are eating such things as: biscuits/crips; and, also, taking fizzy drinks, constantly, all the time; at some point, the stomach decides it just can't hold no more.

Having to wash both my body/clothes 4 or 5 times per day, at least.

14:57 PM PHONED LIL SULLIVAN TO EXPLAIN WHY I HADN'T TURNED UP FOR ART CLASS, YET

I decided to phone art teacher, Lil Sullivan, to explain why I hadn't turned up for class, yet.

The temperature here at home is 36 degrees; and, it feels like I'm absolutely 'frying'...as there is no air conditioning here at home.

The person who picked up the mobile phone to answer was a guy...I didn't bother to ask his name...because I could hear Lil in the background talking. I asked how many people turned up for class, today...she answered in the background 1/2/3/4. The guy said there is 'air conditioning' in the building. I answered, I might come.

LATEST UPDATE
The time is now: 17:20/05:20 PM; and, I think it's safe to say I've gone and missed my art class for today; well, nevermind, there will be a next week, hopefully.

If I'm being perfectly honest...I didn't go out...not due to the weather; but, more because I got distracted through spending time on the computer, instead.
