Elusive (Easter) Egg Hunt

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

Mr L lives in sheltered housing which seems to have three entrances before I could find the one with the speakerphone. He was ready and waiting with his prioritised list and money on the window ledge and we had a quick chat. His preferred supermarket, ASDA, was back the way I came so I set off with his own re-usable bag.

The queue in was pretty quick, I then realised I'd left the list outside so explained to the lovely security guards who let me back out and skip the queue back in. ASDA had everything Mr L wanted except elusive eggs but as I was on home territory I was able to call into my local co-op who had a choice. The easter bunny had visited recently.

A quick trip back to Mr L's, knowing where the front door was this time, and time for a chat whilst Mr L was on the phone to his friend Mr F who wanted to now all about it. The British Red Cross somewhere may be getting a random call/email for some help from Mr F...

I explored my way out of the building a different way to make use of one of the other entrances :-)
