Not for the first time I should've paid more attention to the small print, as I only discovered Ms D wasn't at her usual hone address when I rang her buzzer and a builder answered...Fortunately the mission confirmation had her correct location, and it was conveniently very nearby.

Ms D was struggling to adapt to her temporary new surroundings, and she explained she was having work done in the bathroom of her existing home. Even today's list was a little unfamiliar as she was having to put different items (like cornflakes) into her empty cupboards to get her through the next few weeks.

Fortunately the aisles of the world's politest supermarket remain as familiar as ever, and so it proved a straightforward trip in the bright sunshine to get everything that she needed for this week, including the amusingly described "chewies"...
