Larder on the Nile

I was 5 minutes late when I reached Ms F's home. I rang her flat three times before I heard her voice. It turned out Ms F had been out for a prescription pickup and just got back home. She had a new orthopaedic boot and was very happy to be out. The boot felt quite restraining though, so Ms F was looking forward to put an ice pack on her foot while I would be shopping.

She quickly assembled the grocery list and prepped the bags, the money, her Waitrose card and the digital vouchers to take photos of. Surprisingly, despite the delay, it took less time than usual to get me shopping-ready!

On the way to Waitrose, I went to Alara to pick up the organic peanut butter and honey that Ms F had paid for but could not carry with the rest of her purchase.

The highlight of the Waitrose list was the green beans from Egypt. Previously, Ms F said she didn't like the Moroccan beans. Today she had a preference - the Egyptian ones. She praised the river Nile that made the Egyptian soil very fertile. She lived in Egypt as a child, so she knew what she was talking about!

When I came back with the delivery, I did my favourite part and unpacked all the items for Ms F to review. The performance really makes Ms F excited about all the nice dinners and snacks coming!

You're like a TV presenter! You should be on a show!

I asked Ms F about her rescheduled eye operation and it looks like there won't be a shopping mission next Thursday because of that. I had to turn down the offer of a cup of tea as it's been a while since lunch and I was already dreaming about my dinner. I wished Ms F good luck with her eye surgery and departed in the direction of the setting sun.
