Mission

Pharm-iliar territory...

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

I remember the first pickup I did from this Boots in The Brunswick Centre back in early April when all the rules felt new and unusual - queueing outside along the wall, strict distancing at all times, face-masks, one out/one in on the door, perspex shields at the counter.

It struck me just how familiar (and not unusual) this all was when I did today's pick up, albeit thankfully it was very quiet in the pharmacy today. As ever, the helpful pharmacist took the details whilst I waited in the queue, and when I got to the counter it was all prepared.

As I pedalled over to Mr M's house to drop off, I realised how familiar the surroundings were as I'd done a few similar prescription drops off around these streets over the past weeks without ever realising how they all interconnected. Mr M was very grateful to receive his medication which hopefully will cover him for the next month.
