Good Afternoon Goodgymmers! Today's mission was possibly the most voluminous grocery shop(not heaviest - that honour goes to the lady who wanted 12 litres of water) I had done for goodgym for possibly the oldest recipients.

The beneficiary was a lovely lady, Mrs L who was taking care of, not only her 94 year old husband but also a 24 year old cat who refused to eat food that did not come in jelly form. At the equivalent of 112 human years, I suppose you have earnt the right to be fussy about your food! She requested 48 packs of cat food and a 30 pack of crisps which had people giving me some funny looks as I carried both items to her house.

After a quick stop to 2 grocery stores, I had found all the items in Mrs L's list. She was very grateful for anything I could get her and told me she loved her cat but she was very annoying. That's OK Mrs L, most cat's are jerks.

Stay Safe Goodgymmers!
