Tue 040820 Shopped/then, went out riding on my bike...

8 AM WENT SHOPPING INSIDE OF THE COOP

First, I decided to dump some 'smelly' waste food rubbish in the public bin half way down the road(can't stand the smell, anymore...the longer you leave it there...the more it smells!).

Afterwards, I went down to the local grocery...where I brought...

-  £1.00 of tomatoes
-  £1.00 of large red peppers

Next, I went and did some shopping inside of West Norwood CoOp superstore. I brought...

- Cat food
- Fruit: 3 x bunch of Bananas/2 box of Peaches 
- Bread: French stick loaf
- Sweets: 4 x Bounty/2 dark chocolate/2 normal .75p each

Came back home; and, left the food inside...unpacked.

10 AM WENT OUT FOR RIDE ON MY BIKE

I went for a quick spin on my bike...going through the back streets of Norwood; eventually, I ended up on the main road...and, went over to Brockwell Park. Going through Brockwell Park...I came out at the nearest entrance to Halfords bike shop in Brixton. I asked if they would fix my bike...pump up the tires/-etc.; but, they said, no. They suggested I try elsewhere to pump up my tires.

-(I was thinking about entering into Curry's which is next door to Halfords; but, there was a queue outside; and, I didn't wish to join them/wait.)-

10:30 AM BRIXTON TOWN HALL/MACDONALDS

I continued my journey by crossing the road...then, going to Brixton Town Hall...where I inquired if they would give me a new birth certificate; they said, no; you have to order it online, instead.

I decided to cross over the road, and, enter into MacDonalds...where I ordered...

- .79p 1 x Small Pepsi Cola and ice 
- .79p 1 x Hash Brown (apparently, it's fish with crumbs/never had it before...wanted to find out what it was; tasted ok, actually)

11 AM I RETURNED BACK TO BROCKWELL PARK

Inside of Brockwell park...I both ate/drunk...also, used the toilet to 'wash' both my hands, first, before eating.

As I walked on by, I watched people doing: cycling/playing football/tennis/walking with their kids/-etc.

I came out at a side entrance...which then led me off to Peabody estate. Took a journey through the railway tracks woods; and, ended up finally at Thurlow Park Road; crossed it...and, went into Thurlow Park Avenue. Eventually, I came out at Norwood High Street(Salvation Army); and, then, gradually made my way back home....going up York Hill; cycling the long way around...Knolly's Road; Valley Road; then, up Wellfield Walk/-etc.

I felt quite happy that I had decided to journey out on my cycle...because it meant I had taken some exercise/and, got some fresh air into my lungs for the day.

11:45 AM RETURNED BACK HOME, AGAIN/UNPACKED SHOPPING/AND, ATE/DRUNK

When I came back home, the first thing I concentrated on was to unpack the shopping...

- put away the cat food, downstairs/(opened the back garden door to let the cat in)
- then, I made a pint of water to drink/also, sipped some Cherry flavoured Pepsi.
- ate 2 x Strawberry flavoured ice cream cones
- ate 1 x dark Bounty/1 x chocolate mousse with cream on top/too, had some chocolate sponge cake
- steamed up a packet of Steak & Kidney pudding
- made egg omlette using ingredients: 2 x eggs, diced tomatoes, diced onions, diced red pepper, pepper, salt 
- etc.

Right now, in terms of food/drink...I really ain't missing anything; because I got more than I can, actually, eat/drink...at least, all in one go. 

-(It would be even better still...if I could buy a large fridge in which to store stuff; so, then, things would not run out so fast. Plus, now-a-days, it's possible to buy frost-free fridges, as well; you can even buy one 2nd hand...if buying it 1st hand proves to be far too costly...£200/as opposed to £400+.)-

6:30 PM PHONED ANNE/SHARON NOT THERE, ANYMORE

Around 6:30 PM I decided to phone my cousin, Anne; in order to inquire if her sister, Sharon, is still staying with her. The answer I got back was, no; she's returned home; missing seeing her kids too much, I guess; although, I remember Sharon said she might stay there for, at least, 4 days...in order to escape the wife and husband strife going on at home.

I also talked to her about other things; such as my mum during her last dying days...not wishing to go into hospital; but, instead, she was 'forced' to go there, anyway...as I really couldn't cope with the terrible thought of my mum dying in bed...with nobody 'skilled' being available to help her. Yet, after only just 1 week of being inside of hospital...my mum died there, anyway; and, I think, she blames me for letting that happen to her. She did not understand that there was no other choice; instead, she died thinking I -the only child/son- did actually betray her against what was her own last wishes.

8 AM I ATE FRUIT: 3 X RIPE PEACHES

I ate some peaches; wanted to eat it before it spoiled...even, though, I only brought the peaches this morning inside of the CoOp. The 3 peaches, when I peeled it, were still fairly ripe...however, they tasted ok.

I also had 1 more strawberry ice cream cone; and, a hot chocolate drink, afterwards.

9:30 AM MADE PIZZA

I decided to take out of the fridge 1 x pizza...thin and crispy barbeque chicken from Iceland costing: £1.00; before it spoils; and, steam cook it.
