Rice up your life!

If Mrs A was a spice girl she'd definitely be Sporty. She's strong ("stronger than 'they' think", she tells me when she picks up the shopping bags) determined and focused on getting out and about again, and I feel very lucky indeed to have done another mission for her today.

FINALLY I managed to get Mrs A some of the frozen rice she's wanted and we had a joke together that it was indeed a very 'rice' day, when I returned with the shopping.

Perhaps a more appropriate song for today's mission would have been Once, tw(r)ice, three times a lady...and what a lady Mrs A is. I've done three missions for her now and each time we chat for a little longer (2m apart of course). She's dealing with a lot right now and does so with spirit. I can only hope to be half as strong as she is if I live to be 90 too!

Hearing some sad news from Mrs A gave me something to reflect on during my run home and it reminded me why I pull on the GoodGym red jersey of joy. It's for other people, however big or small the task. Especially at the moment during these strange times it's extra important to help and be there for others if you can. I know SO many people are doing amazing things and bringing joy to many.

There's no denying I get a huge amount out of it myself and I can't wait for the next mission. Hug the ones you love if you can, I'm off for a little cry x
