I stayed in...didn't go out. There is Choronavirus 'lockdown' not just here in the UK/but, also, worldwide going on. It's a very easy disease to catch...and, also, invisible...thus, people are advised to stay at home for as long as is possible. I don't think I been going out anywhere, regularly; not for the last 2 months.
I do go out, however, to do such things as...
- shopping: food/drink
- dump food gone off into the tip (which is half-way down the road)
- collect a parcel from West Norwood Post Office Depot
...otherwise, very rarely, indeed, will I go out.
It's really kind of weird, though; because, I swear, when the year first started Jan/Feb 2020...there was no Choronavirus to be even heard of...and, I used to go out and about for nearly every single day; either I walked/ran/or else, took bike.
Now-a-days, I feel almost like a 'prisoner' confined to home. I can't even go and visit seeing my own family...in case I might give it to them(because, I myself have suffered flu...during March/April).
Yesterday, I taught myself how to make Pasta...
- Open packet into a cooking pan/wash three times using hot water, together with a sieve
- Cover with cold water by 1/4 inch
- Add 1 tablespoon butter/1 desert spoon salt
- Dice in some tomatoes/carrots/onion
- Put to boil, in around 10 or so minutes long...all ready to serve.
In fact, it tasted just a little bit too 'fresh'...; so, I tossed in some ground 'black pepper'. In all, I had 4 servings.
For me that was a big hurdle to climb...; because, for an awful long LONG time...I had the pasta there...but, just wasn't using it...too scared I might totally mess up! Now, I feel confident I can make it...and, that the end result will prove to be ok.
The things I most like about pasta is...
1> It's cheap: £1.00 or less/sometimes, 0.50p
2> It's long lasting (can store it 3-6+ months long/this means I don't have to keep on running out to buy more...because it's gone off too soon...such as, bananas)
3> It's really quick, simple, and easy to prepare (10 mins)
4> It can be used in a versatile manner...pasta with food: scrambled eggs/pasta with meat/-etc.
5> It's healthier than eating sweet biscuits/ice cream.
Today, I made some more Pasta...
The only extra ingredients I added compared to before was...
1 x diced Bell red pepper
Yesterday, I phoned both Millicent/Sharon/Anne...to get the 'latest' family updates...
First, Millicent phoned me...to inquire how I'm doing; but, I missed the call; so, I had to phone her back. Apparently, everyone is well on their side of the family. I told her everyone is well on Sharon's side of the family...meaning, her husband, and, kids; (except one of Sharon's aunts died from it...leaving 2 daughters behind; she was in hospital for just 2 weeks before dying. Also, Blusie, who has to have Dialysis at the hospital may have Choronavirus, too.) Millicent, said she is currently working from home...by using a computer to connect with her work remote office computer. So, I left her to get on with it.
I cannot exactly recall if it was yesterday/or, the day before yesterday; but, I did talk to Sharon/and, also, Anne...on that same day. Sharon said everything is ok on her side of the family. Anne said her husband Krish is sick with Chronavirus...but, apparently, it's mild enough for him to stay home.
I informed them that I think I might have had Chronavirus, too; but, mild...so, I was able to recover by simply self-isolating/and, staying inside of the home; however, a slight cough does still remain...when I dialled up 111 NHS...I was told that the cough might take some weeks to go.
Today, I uploaded some Windows 10/VBScript/SnagIt screen captures to both Facebook/and, my YouTube channel.

Gambled: William Hill/Poker/reached: ClubStatus 3
I've been doing a lot of gambling at William Hill...playing Poker: and, in around a week I reached ClubStatus Level 3(I started playing online Poker around 14th April 2020/today's date is the: 22nd). The higher is your ClubStatus then the more entitlements you have such as more FREEROLL tournaments/-etc.
Frankly, I spent a lot of money to achieve ClubStatus 3...; basically, instead of buying Pizza...I brought into Poker games: some costing 10p/20p/50p/£1/£3.
A lot of the time, I played Roulette...then, using the money I won on playing Roulette, I transferred it into my Poker a/c.
Today, I went and deposited 4 x £6 = £24.00 into Roulette...lost the lot; feeling very deeply disappointed...depressed, in fact; not so much because of this specific loss...; but, mainly, because I know I'm a hopeless gambling 'addict'...and, therefore, am likely to loose a hell of a lot more.
Still playing Poker for FREE at Zynga Poker
I still play Zynga Poker, as well; using only FREE chips...but, frankly, winning/loosing FREE chips is 'meaningless'. So, ultimately, I prefer to play 'real' money games, instead; where, yes, you have to buy in...minimum: 10p/but, at least, if you win: £0.37p; then, that money is 'real'...and, not just purely imaginary.
