Oh blimey, what a heavy rain in Kingston today! Gosia - who was smart enough to take an umbrella โ˜” - was helping Ms T with some essential grocery shopping ๐Ÿ›.

Ms T welcomed me very warmly on the phone. It felt especially nice very nice after being soaked by the cold rain right before ๐Ÿฅถ. Ms T was incredibly nice, prepared upfront and put everything on her doorstep - two bags, the shopping list and ยฃ20 in a small foil bag. I grabbed all from there and rushed into the shopping area.

It was a great surprise ๐ŸŽ and very heartwarming โ™ฅ๏ธ to see a little "Thank you Gossier" not at the top of the list. I was lucky as there was almost no queues today in all three shops I went to (maybe the rain scare few shoppers of) and managed to get everything Ms T wanted.

After around 40 mins I was back at Ms T's flat. I put everything on the doorstep (groceries, receipts and change), stepped away and gave her a quick call โ˜Ž๏ธ. I waited in distance for a little while, just to see that she has managed to pick her shopping up. She thanked me at the door and also sent a short text "Thank you sweet thing." This immediately warmed my heart ๐Ÿ”ฅ.
