In fact there was no certainty this task would be a success and a trip to Mr M’s usual pharmacy was fruitless as they had none of the items in stock and he needed his medication urgently.

The pharmacist told me I was welcome to try elsewhere but her tone suggested I’d be wasting my time.

However, another pharmacy further away not only had most of the tablets Mr M needed but were also willing to make up the prescription while I waited. The remaining item would be ready on Tuesday they informed me.

Luckily the outstanding item is not so urgent as Mr M said he has enough to keep him going for a while so all ended well.

Plus a nice walk through Perrett Park and Redcatch Park as I took in the views along the South Bristol Skyline 😊
