Good Afternoon goodgymmers! Today I made my way to the lovely Mr. C's house to get him some groceries. After an initial chat he seemed very concerned about how much I was walking/running to get to him to help him out! Don't worry Mr. C, vanity is a powerful motivator, and with all this exercise I intend to come out of this quarantine looking as close as possible to Priyanka Chopra.

I got to Mr. C's flat and was let in by a nurse who was on her way out and warned that he was not having the best day. Mrs C came to the door and was unsure of what she wanted, so went to get Mr. C. Whilst she went to get him, there was a mirror in Mr C's hallway which was very flattering, so in continuation of the vain day I was having, I proceeded to admire my magnificent reflection whilst I waited (I'm only 63% joking - I was having a really good hair day). Mr C came to the door and gave me a very small list, which consisted of mayonnaise and ciggies and off I went!

I returned pretty promptly to the flat with the items, and handed these over to Mr. C. It was only two items, but he called me a star. Given how not happy he seemed right at the at the beginning, it was lovely to see him get what he needed to cheer him up. I walked home with a smile on my face!

Stay safe goodgymmers!

**I forgot to take pictures of this mission, hence the mayonnaise picture.
