It was the second episode of my Southall series. Mrs R was, again, shocked that I jogged and walked all the way from the other side of Ealing and that I intend to go back by foot as well. She reported that she and her husband recently struggle to find volunteers to do their shopping. Maybe there are not that many GoodGymers around Southall? I can tell I've never had competition when signing for the mission for Mrs R while, on the other hand, South Ealing seem to be a real hotspot when it comes to grocery missions! Once again, after a short, nice chat, I was provided with a massive trolley, a neat shopping list, cash and some Iceland vouchers. I visited four shops and this time had no trouble navigating between Iceland aisles (even with the monster trolley) and finding all the items - well, almost all! Again, I failed to retrieve the mythical DipDip chocolate. Or is it Dipdip, Dip-Dip, Dip Dip? Has anyone heard about it, seen it, tasted it? I have no idea - and Iceland staff had no idea too. That was the only thing from the list I didn't get. When I returned, I unloaded the monster trolley, put it back in storage and took out the recycling. Charming Mrs R wouldn't let me out without a conversation. We discussed Christmas traditions and festive dishes in different countries. I enjoyed being Mr and Mrs R's guest for that short while but the mission was over and it was time to return to my HQ and eat something. Mr and Mrs R were very grateful and hoped I will come again soon. It was raining on my way back, so I opted out for some sort of power walk rather than a run. Lucky me - it could have rained on my way to the mission as well but it didn't!

I've just googled Dip Dip chocolate and found nothing! Only KP Dip It snacks. The mystery deepens...
