I arrived at Mr P's house a little ahead of schedule and gave him a ring to let him know I was there. Abiding by our social distancing guidelines we did our little Edwardian style dance and successfully exchanges lists and change. Just to make sure I wasnt hunting for italian beans (a handwriting misread) we went over the list and I assured Mr P I would do my best to get as many items as I could.

So off I trotted to the shops without realising that the corner supermarket in question didn't open for another 45 minutes! Striking lucky with the weather, being at the front of the queue and the shop opening earlier than expected I was done and dusted well within time only failing to get two items.

I returned with change and groceries to a really grateful Mr P. After a quick chat about the groceries and Goodgym I took the long way home to make the most of my allocated time outside.

Not gonna lie going to the shops make me pretty anxious but seeing the gratitude on my return always makes it worth it.

Again I forgot to take a photo so... here's a bee.
