Fri 100120 Went National Portrait Gallery/Clapham North, ordered 2 x Indian take aways/Stockwell, Beckett House

-(These events are recollected from yesterday.)

12:00 NOON WENT TO EAMMAEUS CHARITY SHOP TO HAND OVER SOME OF MY MUM'S OLD CLOTHES

I decided to give away some of my mum's old clothes to Emmaeus charity shop. They were very thankful for it.

- Jumpers
- Dresses
- Scarf

(NOTE: The rest of the dirty clothes/or, torn clothes...I dumped into a recycle bin...opposite West Norwood Cemetary gates.)

1 PM VISITED MY MUM/AUNT'S GRAVE

I decided to go and visit both my mum/and, aunt's grave. Said the usual prayers:

2 x Our Father's
3 x Hail Mary's

...then, I prayed they do both rest in peace; alongside my other deceased family members.

I also spoke about that I'm sorry my mum had not listened to me more...to go and see the doctors/hospital earlier...; then, she might still be alive; but, unfortunately, that was her deliberate choice.  I'm sorry, but, I didn't wish to 'force' her to go...totally against her own will. The only reason she ended up there was because she wasn't eating/drinking, properly...just vomiting it all up; so, I felt I really had no other choice but to call the doctors in...but, it was too little/too late...they couldn't do anything by then to reverse the dire circumstances.

I said one more prayer...wishing them both RIP, Amen; then, left.

6:30 PM NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY - FREE DRAWING SESSION

I took a number 2 bus...to Victoria...(I think, the bus broke down); switched bus to take a number 11, I think, going to Liverpoool Street; that same bus took me all the way over to NPG.

I took part in the FREE drawing session only for half an hour or so...because I had arrived 'late'...mainly due to serious traffic jam in West Norwood....traffic moving at a snails pace.

WALKED THROUGH LEICESTER SQUARE/SOHO

After NPG had closed...I decide to take a walk through Soho; and, get familiar with my previous haunts; as well as, see/discover what's 'new'. Not an awful lot has changed.

STREATHAM/CLAPHAM NORTH, INDIAN TAKE AWAY

Eventually, I ended up going along Oxford Street...right up until the end; then, I switched to taking a number 137 bus to Streatham. 

From Streatham I took another bus down to Clapham North tube station...where I brought myself 2 x take away foods.

1> Lamb Curry £6.00 
2> Lamb Masala £6.00 (ordered this one, later on, when I'd already gone and eaten the first)

WENT BECKETT HOUSE 

I sat down inside of Beckett House, and, there ate the Lamb Curry. However, I found myself still hungry for more; so, I hopped on a bus to Clapham North, again; returning back to the same Indian take away...to buy curry of a different flavour.

-(NOTE: As I was standing up at the bus stop going to collect my 2nd curry of the evening; police stopped a black coloured Porsche car...containing a black driver...; they wanted to test him to see if he is a drunk driver.)-
Returned back to Beckett House on the bus; eat the 2nd curry I'd ordered.

TRYING TO DECIDE WHICH CONTENTS TO MOVE FROM BECKETT HOUSE/AND, ALSO, HOW...USE CAR/OR, BUS? 
Then, I decided to look through what contents need to be moved from Beckett House.

I filled up 3 bags with a mixture of stuff...mostly stuffed cushions/a few clothes/and, other items: glass ash tray/small wooden looking glass/-etc. 

RETURNED HOME 'LATE': EARLY MORNING SATURDAY

Next, I took a 133 bus to Brixton; from Brixton I got another bus to Streatham; from Streatham I took a 147 to St Julian's School; from there I walked home. The time I arrived home was around 1:30 AM next morning Saturday.

(I was meant to return back to Stockwell to go and collect some more goods; however, I just felt far too tired/lazy...so, instead, I went off to bed.)
