Mission

In One Fell Soup

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

Today Mr L was in self isolation due to being vulnerable in this current pandemic. Which meant shopping was an issue but to no surprise GoodGym was on hand to help out someone in need. I was available to run to Mr L, pick up his shopping list and £20 note , head to the big Sainsbury's nearby, wait outside for 10 minutes, gather his shopping, then head back with he's essentials, change and receipt.

I have to say Mr L had an incredible detailed shopping list which made the task smoother. Part from his first choice of soup not being available or the Sainsbury's brand kitchen roll being sold out I was able to improvise and get something similar to replace those items.

Mr L was very thankful when I returned and was impressed that I was able to get everything but not as impressed as I was with his shopping list.
