7:45 PM DUMPED RUBBISH
I rode my bike half-way down the road to go dump some 'smelly food' rubbish in the public bin...which is located opposite the post box.
The food I dumped was food gone off.
- When I went downstairs into the living room...I looked inside of a Sainsbury plastic bag...and, it was filled with very badly 'decaying' food contents/all coloured 'black'...I'm not even sure exactly what that was...?! When I peeped inside of the bag, I could clearly see that there were 'insects' also living and growing inside of it. I, immediately, grabbed the bag and placed it outside the door...ready to take away.
- The other food stuff I threw away...I found 2 x packets of Jacob's plain crackers biscuits...they were outdated...I believe the print said something like: 2017; and, now, it's: 2020...I decided not even to bother opening the packages...those had to go.
- And, there was a large packet containing smaller packets of 'mini-cheddars'...which, normally, I love eating. However, when I tried eating one...without looking at the date...the taste was disgusting/totally off! That, too, had to be dumped.
8 PM SHOPPED GROCERS
The first bit of shopping I did was to go and buy some fruit from the local grocers...
1 x bunch of bananas
3 x tomatoes(actually, it was 4 tomatoes I'd brought; but, one of these, accidentally, rolled underneath the counter...and, I just felt far too deeply embarrassed to mention anything about it... so, I decided to just completely 'ignore' that loss).
The total cost of my purchase was: £2.50. I think, they charge £1.20 for bananas/and, I'm not too sure how much the 4 tomatoes cost, looks like: £1.30.
8:15 COLLECTED FREE METRO NEWSPAPER
On my way to go visit the CoOp supermarket...I picked up a FREE copy of Metro newspaper from West Norwood train station.
-(I think, it's very important to keep up with what is the 'latest news'...; otherwise, it's possible to get left way behind; there could be a war/or, riots going on.../or, Choronavirus getting far worse/-etc. If you don't ever 'read/watch' the news...; then, frankly, you don't know...?)-
8:30 SHOPPED CO OP
Next, I decided to go shopping at the CoOp...; because I have no bread left inside of the house...which is driving me nuts! Bread and butter -(I still got 2 tubs of butter left inside of the fridge)- is the least one can expect to have inside of the house...something to dip into your water/or, tea.
I brought, 4 x French stick bread...going really 'cheap'/and, also, 1 full uncut loaf...also, going really 'cheap'. The total cost of all that bread...was less that £2.00.
1 also brought 2 x croissants going for: 0.59p each.
Normally, buying 1 x bread costs £1.00; so, I got 5 x going for an absolute bargain(1 x French stick: 0.19p.)
(I think, those things were going 'out of date', soon; that why they decided rather than dump it...just sell it off, now, really 'cheap'.)
9 PM PM SHOPPED ICELAND
Came out of CoOp...and, crossed over the road...to go visit Iceland, instead. I brought...
10 x packets of Bourbon Cream biscuits (£2.00 for 5 packets)
3 x Ice cream boxes - 2 x Ice cream cones box/1 x ice cream lolly box (£1.00 per box)
1 x Mango Juice (£1.35)
7 x pies/4 x Steak & Kidney/3 Mince pies (69p each)
1 x box of 15 eggs (£1.25)
2 x sliced bread (2 x for £1.80)
1 x large pack of Cooked ham (£2.00)
To be perfectly honest, I was telling myself to buy no biscuits/ice cream...sweets; as too much sweets is really not good for me...; however, in the end, I felt I couldn't resist it. The biscuits were 'cheap'; and, I have no other biscuits left inside of the house...everything done; so, I felt I had to have, at least, some. The ice cream, though, was a luxury buy...; at £1.00 for 3 boxes(multiple ice creams inside of each box)...not too expensive; but, also, something, I really enjoy. Eating food you don't really enjoy...just ain't no fun; makes you feel kind of depressed.
-(NOTE: Normally, I love eating sweets...chocolates/-etc.; but, recently, my teeth have been giving me problems...; and, as I don't want to go visit seeing the dentist...which I 'hate'; and, especially, in a time of, Choronavirus; therefore, I've decided to do my utmost best to go off eating far too many sweets.)-
-(I found myself, constantly, thinking about buying 'curry and rice'; but, this time, I decided against doing that; as I can buy it another time, instead.)-
CONCLUSION
Rode my bike straight back home; immediately, ate one of the Steak & Kidney pies/and, also, treated myself to a ice cream chocolate lolly/two buttered croissants, and, a pint of water...before going off to bed.
-(NOTE: My bank a/c. balance needs topping up, desperately; as, otherwise, I'm broke...got only pennies left/no pounds...!)-

OTHER INCIDENTS ON THE STREET
1> TOOK A LEAK/OPPOSITE ICELAND SUPERSTORE
Before, I entered Iceland...I felt a really desperate need to go take a 'leak'...; so, I crossed over the road to where I saw a dark recess...and, took a quick leak inside there. Luckily, just as I was done...; a girl walked into the very same entrance(there are houses/flats).
SPOKE TO A BLACK GUY/STRANGER INSIDE/OUTSIDE OF ICELAND
As I had finished buying shopping at Iceland check out...; and, was just about to leave...; I looked up, and, inside of the CoOp I saw a black guy who had a bike...which he actually took inside of Iceland...the bike looked exactly the same as mine: 'Carrera Two' model -(minus the specific locks I went and brought)-; so, I stopped to talk to him for a bit...stating: " I have a bike just like that!"
Outside of Iceland, I spoke to him, again...mentioning, "Did you buy that bike at, Halfords?"...he nodded his head; because I figured this guy don't wanna talk to me too much...plus, it's utterly freezing cold...I decided to let him go...saying, "Take it easy, brother!"...and, just left the conversation there.
-(I gotta be careful when I'm talking to total strangers on the street; because you never know exactly what could be going through their head...they could be friend/or, foe.../sane or mental.../good mood or bad mood...and, it's not always perfectly obvious...?!)
HELPED A POOR PERSON (OR, WHO KNOWS; A PERSON MERELY 'PRETENDING' TO BE POOR?!)
Outside of the CoOp, I saw some guy sitting down on the pavement in the freezing cold. Taking some pity on him...; so, when I'd done all my shopping at both CoOp/Iceland...I decided to hand him a packet of Bourbon Cream biscuits.
(I wanted to buy him a 'hot drink'; but, didn't see anything like that in either CoOp/Iceland.)
(NOTE: I have to be careful about treating strangers on the street; as, next time, you see them they are likely to want more. Many of these people are only interested in 'taking' from you...; but, they ain't really interested in giving anything back.)
2> TOOK A LEAK/AT THE CORNER STREET OF WEST NORWOOD POST OFFICE
When I'd reached West Norwood Post Office...; I wanted to 'leak', again. So, I went off to the side road of Post Office...and, right in the middle of my taking a 'leak'...a woman walked straight by me.
Naturally, I felt rather ashamed to be caught completely off guard like that...; but, there was nothing I could do to stop myself(other than piss my pants). The utterly freezing winter cold...makes one want to empty one's bladder. I guess, in future, I'm going to have to be really careful...about drinking; and, then, deciding to go out.
THE COOP CLERK SPOKE TO ME ABOUT MY CAT
The lady at the CoOp counter...said to me, 'how is the cat?' Because, the last time I went in there...I had brought a load of cat food pouches...; and, did mention to her it's to feed the cat...who wasn't eating the 'tinned' cat food. When she said that...my mind was elsewhere...packing shopping in bags...so, I didn't quite catch on...until the last moment. I told her everything is fine, now; the cat is eating, again.
CAR BEEPING ITS HORN AT ME FOR GOING TOO 'SLOW'/OR, POSSIBLY, BLOCKING THE WAY
Another incident...was as I'm riding my bike going back home...having reached West Norwood Library, I had to ride really 'slow'...attempting to balance 2 full shopping bags on either side of my bike handle bars...and, also, hoping that the bags don't tear by, constantly, striking against the bike wheels.
