Mission: Impossible

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

As my first mission, I figure this was an initiative test, to see if I can cope with the really tough missions. My instructions were: 1) Find the pharmacy. We have given you an address - it is not the pharmacy (this was not Goodgym's fault). 2) Get the prescription. Some information is missing - use your spy-like charm to wangle the prescription out of the pharmacist. 3) Stay 2m away from the man in the pharmacy. He really wants to get close to you. 4) Get the other prescription. The pharmacist wasn't fully charmed first time round. 5) Deliver the prescription, and escape unseen.

It was actually really helpful for me to feel just a little bit useful today. Furlough is not being kind to my mental health, but the mission also gave me a bit of insight into how restricted some groups of people are, so it was a double-edged sword. Sadly, so focused was I on the mission, that I forgot to take any photos (rookie error), so here is one of a welcome home cuddle from my cat, Shadow, on a previous run
