After some extra help from Anna P @ GG to help get the Mission lined-up, and a 9km run across town, Ms. D seemed really pleased to see me arrive on the 10th floor to collect her list, shopping bag and cash.

It was just a very few bits, but included some quite esoteric cheese, so I luckily got some more help from one of the staff to find it, and headed off back to take the bits to Ms. D.

After receiving some help, I was able to pay it forwards a bit as was the first to act for man having seizure near the supermarket. After 5 or 10 minutes of making sure his head and airway were alright he’d started to regain consciousness, and some police had turned-up, so they took over.

Upon my (delayed) return Ms. D squealed with excitement from behind the door. The cheese must be pretty good!
