After completing a shopping mission at Camden, I then tubed to Surrey Quauys for another one. This is a contactless shopping mission which I have experience with, as I already did shopping for Miss.S at the beginning of this month. I had enough charge in my phone this time.

I got the shopping list via phone earlier in the day but left the list at home. Couldn't go back as I had other missions lined up today. That shouldn't be an excuse, but I managed to recreate the shopping list from my memory. One thing I knew is that there were 9 items. But I could only recollect 8 from memory. So before I went to Tesco Extra at Surrey Quays, I apologized on the phone and got the remaining items from Miss.S

The list was straightforward and I managed to complete the shopping in 10 minutes. But the queue at the checkout area was crowded as the shop was closing in 20 minutes on Sunday. It's a 20-minute walk from the shop to Miss.S's home. The sun was hot but the wind helped me do the final mission of the day. Left the shopping bag in front of Miss.S's home and informed her the same via phone and slowly started my way back home.

Some people memorise Pi, others memorise shopping lists. Do good, get your brain fit!
