Mission

Come rain or pie

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.

I cycled over to Ms A's in the pouring rain this evening. She had a list, bags and cash ready for me. She even complimented my bike (I painted it earlier in lockdown so I was pleased) Learning from last missions I read through the list carefully and clarified things I wasn't sure about.

I cycled over to Morissons and did the shop. Then came the part I hadn't thought through properly; getting from Morissons back to Ms A's with two heavy shopping bags and a bicycle. Should have brought my panniers... After an awkward walk swapping iterations of how I held the bags and wheeled my bike I finally made it back to Ms A's. Another bit of shopping delivered safely :)
