What a lovely sunny day today 😊. Gosia has spread some GoodGym magic today in Kingston upon Thames by helping Ms A today with some essential grocery shopping.

I was a bit earlier in the area, so gave Ms A a quick call to confirm if this is OK to meet few minutes before 9 am. She said that she is ready with her shopping list and can give it to me anytime. Perfect! Ms A has problem with walking so it took a while for her to open the door 🚪 and leave her shopping list on the doorstep.

I picked up the list and run to the shopping area to find two stores that she specifically mentioned - Iceland and Drugstore. I have managed to find and purchase all requested products, picked up the receipts and put them in the shopping bag.

I walked back to Ms A's address and left all the bags on the doorstep. Then, I gave her a quick call letting her know that everything is ready to be picked up. She thanked me for the help and confirmed that she would like to send the money via bank transfer.
