Tower Hamlets

Mission

Head to Wind...

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

The original mission to pick up urgent medication for Mrs L had been replaced by doing a pick up for her husband (Mr T) as Mrs L had already received hers last week. Was a short trundle to the pharmacy on Columbia Road, where social distancing meant only two people allowed into the very small (quaint) pharmacy. After much searching in the drawers, the pharmacist explained that Mr T's medicines weren't ready yet, and she expected them to be available on Thursday.

I rang Mrs L to pass on the news (for which she initially apologised for having taken me out of my way) and we discussed the best way for her to re-arrange the pick up on Thursday through the original referrer contacting GoodGym again. So mission not quite accomplished for Mr T on a windy Monday afternoon but in the spirit of every cloud etc. it at least gave me a chance to go for a decent run in the gusty winds around the neighbourhood!
