My last visit to help Ms Y had resulted in us needing to call out the fire brigade, so I was hoping my return today wouldn't require such drastic measures, and thankfully it didn't. The familiar visit to the Co-Op to top up her electricity and gas tokens, and then a small shop for a few extra items and the mission was complete.

Ms Y also asked if I'd mind going to knock on a neighbour's door as a parcel she'd been expecting had been delivered to the wrong flat - unfortunately I could get no answer at the door even though the lights were on. It was only afterwards that it occurred to me that a complete stranger wearing a mask is unlikely to persuade someone to open their front door on a wet Thursday afternoon...
