7:50 PM SHOPPED: ICELAND
I decided to very quickly ride my bike down the road to do some shopping at West Norwood Iceland supermarket store.
I brought mostly ice cream...
2 x packs of 3 belgian ice cream lollies £1.00 each
3 x packs of ice cream cones £1.00 each/different flavours: choclate/mint/strawberry
2 x packs of 15 mixed variety sized eggs
1 x pack of mince beef £2.00
1 x cheese square £2.00
8:15 PM SHOPPED: CoOp
After shopping at Iceland; I decided to cross the road and buy some shopping inside of the CoOp superstore.
6 x Toffee apples £0.79p each.
10 PM LEARNING WEB SITE: BITDEGREE.ORG
https://www.bitdegree.org/user/410463/profile
...I went and did a FREE Udemy Coupon search; which, eventually, led me to BitDegree.org web site; apparently, I'm already a member.
I used the coupon to sign up for, at least, 3 courses; -(should have selected those courses more carefully; but, I didn't realise the FREE coupon code would run out after just 3 selections)-.
11:27 PM BROUGHT UDEMY COURSE: JAVASCRIPT, THE COMPLETE GUIDE
https://www.udemy.com/course/javascript-the-complete-guide-2020-beginner-advanced/learn/lecture/15853178#overview
I brought a Javascript course for £9.99 from Udemy.com. The instructor is a person who I've already studied doing course with before; especially, FREE YouTube courses.
I didn't really wish to 'buy' it, at first...because, the truth is, I'm broke; but, I am also very deeply interested in learning Javascript as best I can...; as Javascript is a necessary basic ingredient for learning especially web based programming/as well as, you can use it offline, too, inside of NodeJS.

Mon 281019 Texas Hold 'em FREE chips BIG win/GPO/CoOp/Grocery store/Brought £10.00 worth of Fish & Chips +
5-12 AM BIG FACEBOOK: TEXAS HOLD 'EM/FREE CHIPS WIN: 500,028,000! (half a trillion)
On Facebook I started playing Texas Hold 'em poker...starting off with around 2 million FREE chips; then, that total gradually 'grew and grew' to become: 528 million FREE chips.
NOTE: In reality, none of these FREE chips is worth absolutely anything; because you can't spend it(in real life)/nor can you cash it in for real money. When I looked...it said that the price of buying 500 million chips is £10.00 cash; as, normally, they tend to give you a couple hundred thousands in FREE chips to play with/up to 5 million worth if you pause to watch their video adverts.
Anyway, the end result of my game, as usual, was 0 chips left! First, I went and did a special game where the 'buy in' was 500 million; and, it lost...; thus, leaving me with 28 million FREE chips left; then, within a few more games...1 or 2...each time going 'all in'...I found I'd just gone and lost the next 28 million chips; which, of course, left me with absolutely 0 balance.
So much for gambling...where life is always unsure; the only sure thing about gambling is chips death!
4 PM NORWOOD GPO
I had to go out, and, make a deposit...as certain bills remain 'unpaid'...including:
- Thames Water
- British Gas
- Talk Talk broadband
- etc.
Inside of the Post Office I also brought 6 x boxes of cat food: £1.19 each/and, of two different variety flavours.
4:15 PM SHOPPED: CO-OP
I brought some shopping inside of the Co-Op...across the road from the post office.
Cat food pouches 3 for £1.00 x 15
1 loaf of French stick bread £0.95p
3 x Large Max crisps Extra Hot Jalpeno & Cheese £1.00 each
3 x bunches of bananas £1.00 each
2 x plastic CoOp carrier bags
5 PM BROUGHT SOME OTHER FOOD GROCERY
After coming back home; and, depositing my 2 full Co-op bags...I decided to go back out, again; and, do some further shopping...; at the green grocers just 2 streets away...I brought...
2 x Guava Pears £1.00 each
Loose bag of green peppers/small £1.00
Big peppers £1.00
2 x Cucumbers £1.00 for both
Anyway, in all I did £5.00 worth of green grocer shopping; then, came back home.
6 PM BROUGHT SOME FOOD FROM THE FISH & CHIP SHOP
As a final going out trip for the day...I went back down the road to buy some food from my local fish & chip shops...just one street away:
1 x Fish
1 x Chips
1 x Jamaican beef Pattie
1 x Sausage in batter
1 x Steak and Kidney pie
I gave the lady behind the counter a £10.00 note; and, she returned me back just £0.80p change.
-(Actually, she gave me back £1.00; because she didn't have 20p change; and, I promised to pay her, later. Then, when I went home...I immediately ran back down the road to pay her the 20p.)
I think, I brought so much chip shop food...just in order to celebrate my having won so big at Texas Hold 'em Poker...the which winning level I'd never achieved before. Even though winning FREE chips is actually worth, quite literally, nothing!
9 PM CONTINUED DOING SOME FURTHER FACEBOOK APPS GAMBLING
I continued doing some further Facebook apps gambling...
- Texas Hold 'em Poker
- WSOP/World Series Of Poker
...hoping all the time that I could somehow emulate what I had won this morning; however, sure enough, that wasn't possible; and, instead, I just went and lost it all(as usual).

Thu 241019 Signed on.../Shopped: Streatham Aldi
-(This post is being updated on the 27th...; so, I cannot precisely recall all events which may have happened; however, I will attempt to recall whatever it is I can....)
1:10 PM SIGNED ON AT STREATHAM JOB CENTRE
I signed on at Streatham Job Centre...with job advisor Richard...at 1.10 PM.
The really scary thing there was, I forgot to do any job search...not until the actual appointment day arrived; at which point just before attending my appointment...I did 3 pages full. Well, when I turned up at the job centre...Richard, asked me where is my job search; and, I must sign in to the computer in order to 'prove' it to him. Then, when I had signed in to the computer...he went and checked only 3 pages long; of course, had he checked any further along in the job search history results...he would have seen that my last job search was, actually, done on the 9th! So, I guess, I was tremendously lucky to be let off...
1:30 PM SHOPPED: STREATHAM ALDI SUPERSTORE
After coming out of Streatham Job Centre...I decided to shop at Streatham Aldi...which is one of the 'cheapest' shopping superstores in London. I went inside and brought...
- Potatoes (4 bags of plain/1 bag of sweet potatoes)
- Carrots (2 x bgs of carrots)
- Onions (2 x bags of onions)
- Garlic (2 x garlic)
- Tomatoes (2 x tomatoes)
...the shopping I did was really very heavy to carry; so, I also had to buy 4 thick carrier bags...which I 'doubled up' inside of one another...leaving me with 2 full bags to go carry along.
1:45 PM THE BIKE JOURNEY HOME
Next, I balanced two really heavy shopping bags on both sides of my bike handle bars...one bag on either side. The journey home was both difficult and slow. Sometimes, I had to walk...; because I was finding it very difficult to ride and balance the load, effectively; however, eventually, I did arrive home with very little incidence.
Though, there was one point where I fell off my bike...; and, had to pick the shopping bags up, again.
2 PM MISSED ART CLASS
I believe it was raining all day...just lightly drizzling, actually; but, it is Winter time...and, so rather cold. Somehow or other, I decided to remain at the computer and not go out, again; thus, I didn't bother with attending my usual Lil Sullivan art lesson that evening(2PM-5PM/Ackerman Medical Health Center, Vauxhall).
CONCLUSION
(Right now, because it's days later on...I cannot recall exactly what I did with the rest of the day; therefore, I think, I'll just leave the rest of this journal entry here.)

Thu 171019 Placed recycle bin outside ready for emptying...
LIST OF DAILY REMINDERS:
1> Do online job search
2> Do some exercise for: suppleness/strength/stamina/mental calm(deep breathing/meditation)
3> Do some art work (stay inside and draw/go outside and draw)
4> Find all of the library books which need to be returned/renewed
5> Do some computer programming
6> Learn online...try and get a 'certificate'...; obtaining, at least, one 'certificate' per day would be really and truly good.
7> Try to avoid eating/drinking...too much sugar/salt; instead, aim to eat really 'healthy'. Dice some cucumber/carrots...and, use that instead to snack on...whenever you feel like having a 'quick' bite to eat; as opposed to constantly snacking on unhealthy: crisps/biscuits/sweets.
-----
4 AM AWOKE/LET CAT IN FROM THE BACKGARDEN
I awoke at around 4 AM...; then, got up to let the cat back in, again, from the backgarden. -(I tried calling her to come in before I went off to sleep...; but, she just refused to come.)- I fed the cat not even realising that it's not actually 6 AM, yet.
5 AM MADE/EAT 2 X COLD SPREAD SANDWICHES...TOGETHER WITH A HOT CUP OF TEA
Then, went and made myself both an Egg Mayonaise spread/and, separate Tuna spread sandwiches.
Most probably, I'll fall asleep, again, soon...as I'm still feeling extremely tired/exhausted...went to sleep somewhere past mid-night, I'm sure; if I don't get my full 8 hours rest...or, my sleep is otherwise broken...then, the end result is, I don't tend to feel fully awake/remaining still 'half-asleep'.
5:30 AM PLACED THE GREEN RECYCLE BIN OUTSIDE...READY FOR EMPTYING BY THE DUSTMEN
Had to remember to place the green recycle bin outside...so, that the dustbin men can empty it; because it hasn't been emptied in 2 whole weeks...thus, the bin is totally crammed full.
CONCLUSION
-(Most unfortunately, I did not complete the rest of this entry...; and, as it's now the 27th...which is 10 whole days, later on...therefore, I think, I'll just leave it there as is...because, I really cannot remember all the details of how the rest of the day went.)-

Wed 161019 eBay: 1x250 GB portable HDD/Bet: lost £9/BH/Tate Britain/BH survey/Iceland
07:58 AM EBAY ORDER: 250 GB PORTABLE HDD
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-250GB-External-Portable-2-5-USB-Hard-Drive-HDD-With-Warranty-Black/330470222782?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I ordered from off eBay a 250 GB portable HDD/Hard Disk Drive. Cost: £13.99.
I can store on there such things as photos/-etc.
There are two ways that data can be stored...
1> Online...where you usually have to 'pay' when the data has reached a certain specific limit. Another downside being that because your data is accessible from literally anywhere on the planet; therefore, it's also open to being broken into, and, stolen by thieves/computer hackers/as well as, the site owner authorities themselves.
2> Offline...where your data is kept strictly 'private'...and, no one can access it excepting you, alone; the downside is you have to, quite literally, carry that data around...because, otherwise, you will not be able to access it from at a long distance(unless, you leave your computer open on the net for hacking into). The good side about this particular type of HDD is it's fairly small...enough to be able to store inside of your own coat pocket; and, because it uses a USB cable to connect to the computer...you can carry it along, and, use it on any other computer.
08:37 AM GAMBLED AT WILLIAM HILL: LOST £9.00
I bet on Roulette at William Hill; and, instantly, lost £9.00 (which was the balance I'd won left over from yesterday).
9 AM WENT STOCKWELL/BECKETT HOUSE
Picked up letters.
9:30 AM VISITED TATE BRITAIN GALLERY/DREW
I visited Tate Britain...but, was 1/2 an hour early.
9:40 AM ST MARTIN'S COLLEGE/SHOPPED
Walked across the road to go and visit St Martin's College art shop. In there I brought...
-> 10 x newsprint papers A3 @ 10p each
-> Multiple A6 'blank sheet' drawing books...I forgot what was the exact price...but, everything came to around £3.50
-> 2 x A4 size white paper Sketchbooks - One 'landscape' format/the other 'portrait' format, instead.
10:10 AM WALKED BACK ACROSS THE ROAD INTO TATE BRITAIN GALLERY
This time when I visited Tate Britain, the gallery was already open.
The first thing I did was to go inside of the drawing room...and, there execute doing some drawings...on the FREE paper/with pencils + easels provided; I drew the sculpture: 'Athelete wrestling with a Python', as usual.
My initial thoughts was to leave the drawings there...; however, later on, during the day...when leaving to go back home...I found nobody had taken the drawings for themselves...; so, I thought might as well take it home and keep it myself.
I visited 2 'paying' exhibitions...
1> William Blake (downstairs)...I visited all of the rooms...and, tried to view every single drawing/painting.
2> Sorry, I forgot the name...(upstairs)...but, it was a modern film show type of exhibition. I didn't stay in there long, though...just stayed for around 5 minutes...after which I felt 'bored'; then, left.
I also went and visited other Tate Britain rooms...looking at the art...I recall looking at the 'abstract work of: Gillian Ayres/and, another room showed off the abstract work of a guy...forgot his name?
I looked inside of Tate bookshop downstairs...and, saw prints by William Blake...both framed/and, unframed. I also went and brought inside there a multi-coloured pencil costing £1.50.
Just before leaving Tate Britain Gallery...I went upstairs to go and visit the Member rooms. I sat down looking at an art book concerning the works of Russian artist: Natalia Goncharova. (Unfortunately, I missed seeing her exhibition at the Tate Modern; wanted to see what I might have missed.)
I was 'aware' that my mum hasn't been keeping too well; therefore, I made it a strict point to leave Tate Gallery early as opposed to late; normally, I would stay there straight up until when closing time comes along; however, today, I left somewhere around 2 to 3 PM.
3:30 PM STOPPED AT VAN GOGH WALK
I wanted to check out seeing if there were any FREE books I can collect...at the 'book exchange' located on Van Gogh Walk.
I did bring home a small photo book...; but, nothing worthy of note.
When I arrived back home, again; the time was 4 PM.
4:40 PM MADE PHONE CALL TO BECKETT HOUSE SUVEYORS
One of the letters I collected from Beckett House...said I should make them a phone call...due to previously missing 2 unscheduled appointments...; I phoned them...but, the receptionist I spoke to...took down my phone number/and, said they will call me back.
9 PM WENT ICELAND TO DO SOME SHOPPING
In West Norwood Icenand superstore I brought...
1 x 6 pack of tin can Tango £1.50
10 x toffee apples 0.65p each = £6.50
1 x chocolate apple 0.65p
1 x Chichen Thighs £2.00
1 x Potatoe Salad £1.00
1 x Cheese Coleslaw 0.89
3 x packs of 6 ice cream cones/different flavours: Strawberry/Mint/Chocolate £1.00 each = £3.00
Total: £15.54
CONCLUSION
And, now, my current a/c. is totally flat 'broke'...with, maybe, a couple of pounds left/if not just merely some pence.

I also went and visited other Tate Britain rooms...looking at the art...I recall looking at the 'abstract work of: Gillian Ayres/and, another room showed off the abstract work of a guy...forgot his name?
I looked inside of Tate bookshop downstairs...and, saw prints by William Blake...both framed/and, unframed. I also went and brought inside there a multi-coloured pencil costing £1.50.
Just before leaving Tate Britain Gallery...I went upstairs to go and visit the Member rooms. I sat down looking at an art book concerning the works of Russian artist: Natalia Goncharova. (Unfortunately, I missed seeing her exhibition at the Tate Modern; wanted to see what I might have missed.)
I was 'aware' that my mum hasn't been keeping too well; therefore, I made it a strict point to leave Tate Gallery early as opposed to late; normally, I would stay there straight up until when closing time comes along; however, today, I left somewhere around 2 to 3 PM.
3:30 PM STOPPED AT VAN GOGH WALK
I wanted to check out seeing if there were any FREE books I can collect...at the 'book exchange' located on Van Gogh Walk.
I did bring home a small photo book...; but, nothing worthy of note.
When I arrived back home, again; the time was 4 PM.
4:40 PM MADE PHONE CALL TO BECKETT HOUSE SUVEYORS
One of the letters I collected from Beckett House...said I should make them a phone call...due to previously missing 2 unscheduled appointments...; I phoned them...but, the receptionist I spoke to...took down my phone number/and, said they will call me back.
9 PM WENT ICELAND TO DO SOME SHOPPING
In West Norwood Icenand superstore I brought...
1 x 6 pack of tin can Tango £1.50
10 x toffee apples 0.65p each = £6.50
1 x chocolate apple 0.65p
1 x Chichen Thighs £2.00
1 x Potatoe Salad £1.00
1 x Cheese Coleslaw 0.89
3 x packs of 6 ice cream cones/different flavours: Strawberry/Mint/Chocolate £1.00 each = £3.00
Total: £15.54
CONCLUSION
And, now, my current a/c. is totally flat 'broke'...with, maybe, a couple of pounds left/if not just merely some pence.

Thu 101019 Streatham: Sign on/Shopped: Aldi: 4 wheels spinning board/Gambled: Dep. £5.50/Won: 13.50/Bal: 4.50
11 AM STREATHAM JOB CENTRE 'SIGN ON'
Today, I 'signed on' at Streatham job centre with Sue at 11 AM(she did NOT check my job search); who made me a next appointment to see them in a fortnights time; and, also, recommended I go visit the job fair which was, currently, going on there.
At the job fair, I collected some job information leaflets...together with FREE gift pens; and, spoke to a few of the job advisors...; however, I didn't come away from there being signed up to do any course; basically, came away 'empty handed', as usual, instead.
12:00 MIDDAY SHOPPED STREATHAM: ALDI/BROUGHT SPINNING BOARD WITH 4 WHEELS
I decided that since I'm already in Streatham...might as well do some shopping at Aldi...where everything can be brought really very cheaply.
The first item that struck my eye was a 1 foot round board with 4 wheels located on the bottom; looks like it could be a lot of fun learning to balance on...?!
I didn't buy any food...; due to wanting to get back home really quick.
2 PM-5 PM LIL SULLIVAN ART CLASS
I received a phone call from Lil Sullivan requesting that I come along and attend class; but, unfortunately, I got really 'busy'...and, thus, was unable to attend. I really miss going to class, too; just need to focus more.
3 PM GAMBLED AT WILLIAM HILL: ROULETTE: DEP. £5.50/WON: 14.50/LOST: Bal. £4.50
I bet really high...3 x £9...the 3rd £9 bet lost...and, then, I basically, quit!
23:54 PM STUDYING SKILL SUCCESS COURSE: LEARN FRENCH FOR BEGINNERS
Right now, I've 40% completed studying the Skill Success course: Learn French for Beginners. I don't think, I'm likely to finish this course today, though; as it's one where I have to keep on re-playing back each lesson over and over again...in order to get down the pronounciation right.
Still started today...; and, already, nearly half way through; so, I feel fairly confident I will finish it in around 2/3 days time; depending on how long I choose to stay with studying...sometimes, I study at night whilst lying back in bed...following the lessons along on my iPad 4; if I do it that way...then, I could be finished as fast as by tomorrow.

4:30 PM DEPOSITED MONEY AT WEST NORWOOD GPO
I was meant to have gone out, yesterday, Monday; but, I left it too 'late'; so, instead, I went out there today.
I went and deposited some money at West Norwood post office.
4:45 PM WEST NORWOOD LIBRARY: CHECK IF LIBRARY BOOKS NEED TO BE RENEWED: ANSWER: NO/NOT UNTIL THE 21ST
Next, I visited West Norwood library to check if my 2 library books needed re-newing; they said not until the 21st.
NOTE: One of the library books still seems to be missing...I need to find it, and, quick.
5 PM WENT TO THE LOCAL HALAL GROCERY STORE
I like visiting this particular grocer's because they are very nice and friendly and polite to me.
I brought...
1 x Jamaican bun
1 x Jamaican white bread (sliced/usually, I would buy unsliced, and slice it myself)
2 x packets of rice (different varieties)
5:30 PM VISITED CHEMIST: BROUGHT CUDDLY TIGER
I brought....
1 x Belladonna plaster
1 x Drapolene cream
...both from my mum.
1 x Tiger cuddly toy (for my younger cousin, a girl)
6 PM VISITED SWEETSHOP/TOY SHOP: BROUGHT PLASTIC GUITAR
I'd seen a plastic toy guitar inside of the sweetshop window; but, as I couldn't carry everything all in one go; therefore, I went home deposited my previous shopping; then, went back out, again, to go and buy the guitar.
I thought they would give me the guitar inside of the window; but, instead, they gave me a 'new' boxed one; which was even better than I was expecting. (The guitar is for my cousin, a boy.)
6:58 - 8 PM WENT KINGSWOOD: TO GIVE 2 GIFTS TO THE CHILDREN
I went and visited my cousins in Kingswood; and, gave them the 2 gifts I had brought...
1 x tiger cuddly toy (for the girl)
1 x guitar (for the boy)
...then, I very quickly left...because it was 'late'; and, I wanted to get back home as soon as possible. Usually, when I go there to stay...then, I will tell them in advance. This time, I had told them nothing...because they don't like 'late' visits at all. In other words, if I had informed them I was coming 'late' evening; they would have said, no; which is why I didn't bother informing them at all.
10 PM BROUGHT SOME CHIPS FROM MY LOCAL 'FISH & CHIP' SHOP
I went and brought some chips -(normally, I would buy both 'fish & chips'; but, with only £2.00 left I couldn't afford 'fish & chips' costing £3.50)- at a cost of £1.80(gave the guy 2 x £1 coins...he returned me back just 20p change).
Came home...shared the chips with my mum; also, made some scrambled eggs to eat alongside it.
CONCLUSION
It's been a really 'expensive' day...; I only have £20.00 left inside of my bank current a/c.
Also, I had around £18 left on my Oyster travel card...and, already, I've spend close to £8.00 of it...so, now, only £10.00 left to go travelling on.
However, I already made up my mind...that this is precisely what I was fully determined to do...so, I went and did it; and, judging things purely on that score...I feel that everything went exactly as was originally planned; meaning, the day went well enough.
Only, I will seriously have to watch my over-spending, though; as, frankly, many of the household bills have been left totally 'unpaid'...?!

2 PM AWOKE/HAD A DARK DREAM/(DD)/A GREEN PYTHON ATTACKED...!
For some weird reason, I seem to see in my dreams that I've been keeping 'pet snakes', regularly.
Regarding my background as to snakes -(snakes are a non native species to England where I live/especially, not in London/deep inside of the countryside one might find poisonous Adders)-; when I was a pre-teen school kid...we went and visited the local pet shop...and, I recall seeing inside there a cage with a very small snake inside...maybe, only 6 or so inches long. Then, when I asked the shop keeper does it bite...he said, 'yes'. That was a memory I always kept inside. I do fear snakes...especially, after seeing loads of scary films on TV/and, having read stories where they kill: Cleopatra/-etc. As an adult, I've also visited pet shops where they sell snakes as pets; but, I only look..never ever buy. I've also been a member of Regent's Park London Zoo...where I visited the Reptile house...and, in there I saw many 'deadly' snakes. I didn't actually buy any snake...partly due to my own phobia; but, also, due to my family/(mum) totally detesting them...who had grown up in Jamaica(they were afraid of getting bitten). I think, I wanted to own a pet snake...just in order to learn how to get over my fears.
Anyway, returning back to the dream...I had brought a pet python...green...and, it was running around all over the place...scaring my family; thus, I decided to wrap it up really very tightly...inside of some plastic bags; but, somehow or other, it had managed to escape...and, got really mad at having been forcibly confined...and, then, it went and did a long strike in an attempt to bite me. I'm not sure, if it got me or not...as it was then I awoke with a sudden start...!
Many years back...my family used to own a 'dream book'...which I would regularly consult in order to learn how to interpret whatever dream I did remember. It is to be noted that by far the vast majority of dreams I really don't tend to remember at all; instead, I only tend to remember dreams that are particular shocking meaning, super scary/taboo/or else, intensely sexual. This dream was really scary...
Another thing to note...is just before I went to bed I had eaten an extra large bag of extra 'hot' flavoured crisps...leading to an overdose of 'salt' into my stomach...which I did not digest particularly well...through, having fallen asleep/and, also, lying down horizontally...food is better digested when moving around/standing or sitting up. So, I have noticed that when I eat the 'wrong' sorts of food...that can sometimes affect my dreams for the worst.
The other thing that might affect my dream for the worst...meaning leading to nightmares...is leaving the TV running when one is asleep...whilst all the time...there is a TV program going on...relating to Crime channels/or, Animal rescue...these things too can also affect my dreams...inducing me into having uncomfortable dreams. Generally speaking, I do leave the TV running when asleep...and, many times it is attuned to either Crime channel 'real life' documentaries/or else, Animal rescue type of shows.
2:30 PM RAN FREE GRAPHICS SOFTWARE: KRITA (FOR THE 1ST TIME)
https://krita.org/en/
For the first time, I ran some FREE graphic related software which I had downloaded called: Krita.
The UI-User Interface...seems to be easy enough to go and learn...even for a complete beginner like me...but, there are also online lessons, too.
So far, I haven't done too much with it...apart from learning to draw using the mouse.
I signed up for Daily Udemy FREE courses...which are sent to me, regularly, by email...; all I need to do is open up the email; then, click on whichever FREE course I'm most interested in learning.
The current course I signed up for tonight is art related, and, concerned with learning to paint...

2 PM AWOKE/HAD A DARK DREAM/(DD)/A GREEN PYTHON ATTACKED...!
For some weird reason, I seem to see in my dreams that I've been keeping 'pet snakes', regularly.
Regarding my background as to snakes -(snakes are a non native species to England where I live/especially, not in London/deep inside of the countryside one might find poisonous Adders)-; when I was a pre-teen school kid...we went and visited the local pet shop...and, I recall seeing inside there a cage with a very small snake inside...maybe, only 6 or so inches long. Then, when I asked the shop keeper does it bite...he said, 'yes'. That was a memory I always kept inside. I do fear snakes...especially, after seeing loads of scary films on TV/and, having read stories where they kill: Cleopatra/-etc. As an adult, I've also visited pet shops where they sell snakes as pets; but, I only look..never ever buy. I've also been a member of Regent's Park London Zoo...where I visited the Reptile house...and, in there I saw many 'deadly' snakes. I didn't actually buy any snake...partly due to my own phobia; but, also, due to my family/(mum) totally detesting them...who had grown up in Jamaica(they were afraid of getting bitten). I think, I wanted to own a pet snake...just in order to learn how to get over my fears.
Anyway, returning back to the dream...I had brought a pet python...green...and, it was running around all over the place...scaring my family; thus, I decided to wrap it up really very tightly...inside of some plastic bags; but, somehow or other, it had managed to escape...and, got really mad at having been forcibly confined...and, then, it went and did a long strike in an attempt to bite me. I'm not sure, if it got me or not...as it was then I awoke with a sudden start...!

Sun 061019 Shopped Iceland: Brought box of cat food/40 pouches @ £10.00
4:55 PM SHOPPED ICELAND/BROUGHT BOX OF CAT FOOD: 40 POUCHES
I went shopping at my local West Norwood Iceland superstore; and, in there I brought a box of Felix cat food consisting of 40 x pouches; and, costing £10.00 per box.

I went shopping at my local West Norwood Iceland superstore; and, in there I brought a box of Felix cat food consisting of 40 x pouches; and, costing £10.00 per box.
I tend to feed my cat 2 times per day on 'liquid food' pouches...; so, that means the cat food I brought should last around 2 to 3 weeks long...using up 2 pouches per day/14 pouches per week = 7 days/2 weeks = 28 pouches/3 weeks 42 pouches (note: there is usually some spare pouches left over from the last box).
-----
In between times I tend to feed my cat 'dry food', instead; which is usually in the form of cat pellets; that she can pick at any time: 24 hours long. The 'dry' cat food costs £1.19 per small box from West Norwood Post Office; 2 different flavours costing: £2.38. The cat gets through the small boxes of food in around 1 week. So, I might buy 6 boxes...to last 3 weeks.
I haven't brought the cat any dry food, yet, though; as there is still at least 4 boxes full; maybe, I will buy some more tomorrow from down at the post office.

Thu 031019 Lil Sullivan 'reminder' phone call - Gambled WH: Dep: £9/Won: 11:20/Bal: £1.60
3 PM LIL SULLIVAN PHONE CALL
At around 3 PM I got a reminder phone call from artist/art teacher: Lil Sullivan; I was meant to attend her class, today; but, didn't. I simply explained that I was much too busy looking after my mum who had the flu; giving her hot food/drinks. Perhaps, I will attend next Thursday, instead.
4 PM GAMBLED WILLIAM HILL: Dep £9/Won: £11.20/Bal: £1.60
All the time, going through my mind was the intention to go and gamble by playing online roulette at William Hills; so, sure enough I sign into my a/c.; and deposited: £8.39...there was already £1. 61 balance left in there. The usual sad story...at first, I was winning £11.20; then, I gradually lost and lost...until the only balance I had left was just £1.60; at which point I decided it's time to quit.

Wed 021019 Visited YoungVic Theatre...saw play: Blood Wedding.
(2 days back, as a member of Paxton Green Time Bank...volunteering in the community organisation, I was offered a FREE ticket to go to the Young Vic theatre in Waterloo to watch a play called: Blood Wedding. Naturally, of course, I eagerly accepted the offer.)
6:30 PM VISITED YOUNG VIC THEATRE: SAW PLAY: BLOOD WEDDING
I rode my bike off to go visit Young Vic theatre...arrived there 15 minutes early...so, seats were not filled, yet. After collecting my FREE ticket from the reception desk; and, entering the theatre, I saw 2 other female Time Bank members there...sitting at the front; but, my ticket said, I was seated at the back, instead.
I really enjoyed watching the play...a mixture of Irish folklore/Brazillian slavery...and, included/poetry/poetry/song/dance/mine/floating around in the air. I found it to be a really interesting, and, rather haunting play to watch.

Tue 011019 Went Post Office Depot to collect parcel: iPad 4.
I had missed collecting my parcel on Monday; so, Royal Mail dropped a note stating I must go to West Norwood Post Office depot to collect it, instead. As soon as I awoke, I went and collected my parcel...which is an iPad 4.
-(My older iPad 4 isn't working properly, anymore; keeps on 'freezing' up on me after only a few minutes use/so, I had to buy a 2nd hand one from off eBay...the price was £199.99...for 128 GB + WiFi.)-
Connecting the new iPad 4 to my own WiFi wasn't hard; nor was signing in; thus, everything was up and working, more or less, immediately right away.
However, having to go re-download over 500+ apps...is going to take an awful lot of time...certainly, days.
