Miss N and her sister (who's staying with her at the moment) were so very grateful for me arriving at their door today, and after I'd explained the most efficient way to get the shopping done, Miss N and her sister ran through her list like a duet, and pointed out which shops I needed to head to.

Fortunately nowhere was too far away, and it proved a pleasant and successful trip to Tesco and Aldi to get what they needed, and an equally satisfying handover of the shopping bag when I returned - cue much smiling all round.

The sun was out, Mr R was on good form, and his list was as familiar as the route to and from his local Tesco, with the addition of a bag of Red Lentils, which he wasn't sure I'd be able to find - success was on our side as I returned with a full bag of treasure in hand.

This Saturday evening, Steph Ducat, Mourad and I met on the Strand to help Gurseva dish out their food. This evening it was a delicious smelling veggie biriyani.

It was wonderful to welcome Mourad to his first Goodgym session, and chat a little before the van arrived. Then we set to work, alongside the other volunteers, to dish out the biriyani, sandwiches, snacks and drinks. The queue was long today and we were a little worried we might run out. But I don't think anyone left empty handed in the end.

Once the food was gone, we very efficiently packed up. Until next time!

All parts of the now familiar process with Mrs S on a Friday morning worked exactly as they should today, and apart from wanting a bottle of (expensive...) extra virgin olive oil, everything on the list was equally familiar - so I was out and back in no time, much to Mrs S's surprise.

The shopping luck was definitely on my side this afternoon as I worked my way down Mr R's list - got the last of the British Asparagus and the last Rye loaf...fortunately everything else was well stocked, so it proved a quick and easy trip this week, and I avoided the rain too.

Lovely walk to Miss M flat and she has the items that needed to be dropped at the local charity ready in front of her flat door. She just wanted one of the bags back so that she could use it for the next collection of items. I had 4 bags and and small basket. I took the 4 bags in one go which surprised Miss M and I was back in a dash with the bag she wanted in return. Small walk and run to the local charity shop Fara...Que Fara Fara!!!

The ladies at Fara are delighted with the items being dropped and getting use to seeing Goodgym dropping them off.

Miss M will be getting more visits from Goodgym as she loads more to be collected - great giveaway and clear out!
