The Early Bird...

A few Tuesdays of practice on this particular mission seems to have paid off, as today's mission went pretty well from start to finish. At 0755 I found myself 11th on the list this week (I confess I even came prepared with some tape and paper to try and avoid a repeat of last week's "mystery of the missing sign up sheet" saga - still took a photo just in case...).

Mrs E's daughter had a new letter which confirmed that her referrer was chasing down the food vouchers that the volunteers had said they would require from this week on and so at 1130 I was back at the church as prepared as could be.

There seemed to be less of a crowd than in previous weeks (perhaps the voucher scheme has deterred some), and the volunteers should win a prize for insisting that everyone spread out to 2m gaps before they would continue serving...By 1150 I was at the table, the letter thankfully provided them with what they needed and I was soon walking back to Mrs E's with food bags in hand - at the door it was another brief chat with Mrs E's daughter to confirm all had gone smoothly this week!
