A fries day kind of Friday!

A pleasure to be back with Mrs J again this week (while we endeavor to source her a regular shopper)!

Post read out loud, groceries purchased and helped put away, and the basic necessities sorted, I was delighted to close a task from the week previous in sourcing Mrs J's favourite snacks; Scampi Fries! Searching many supermarkets high and low (trust me folks; they don't exist..... or so I thought!) I turned to Amazon to fix my woes. Fortunately, Mrs J had requested them 'en masse', so when I had to order a Pub's worth of packets, mounted on a cardboard wrack (24 in total!) Mrs J was nothing but delighted! Sadly I forgot to take a snap of this beautifully strange creation, HOWEVER when getting some petrol from an M&S garage the following week I had to stop in my tracks and scamper back to my car for my phone to capture the moment in pixels; low and behold - in all the places you'd expect - Scampi Fries were on offer!!

When delivering the goodies to Mrs J, not only was she delighted to finally have her favourite snacks, and shared a very funny story about how her daughter had once sent an even larger box in the post for her birthday celebrations a few years ago, Mrs. J was insistent I take a couple of packs of her precious supply for my family to try, and to let me know what we thought! (they were great by the way!)

Although I know Mrs. J is very grateful for everything good-gym do, it's nice to share a laugh and swap stories, while also doing the essential tasks, and I know how much it means to Mrs J to be able to share something back (although of course she needn't!) when it comes to feeling like herself, empowering her independence, and truely feeling like an equal - although very wordily put - I feel very honored! (Especially when that something is in the form of her all-time, hard-to-find, favorite snack!)

I will see Mrs. J again on Saturday; I wonder how she's getting on with her pub snacks! I wonder if she will have any more grocery-based challenges to spice up another week of lock-down!
