Soup-tastic.

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

On a warm, balmy day, I cycled to Mr R's home for this mission - my first outing for my 50 deeds GG shirt.

Mr R suffers from COPD and needed a shop for a few basic groceries. An easy list which included 6 tins of soup, mixed flavours. He said he wasn't fussed which type but I checked for any definite no-no flavours and he said, "Maybe not tomato, as they always get tomato.." So I avoided getting any tins of this much loved fruit-that-parades-as-a-vegetable! ;0)

I had my first dilemma on a mission - it was 4 tins for £3 but Mr R only wanted 6...what to do, eh?! I got 6 and repressed my urge of not wanting to miss an offer.

A quick spin to the local shops and a drop off back to lovely Mr R. Oh...and he said that 8 tins of soup would have been great, doh! :0)
