The first part of a double deed for Mrs V today. She needed some synthetic gloves from her local pharmacy in Cotham and had showed me the brand she wanted and said that that particular pharmacy was the only one that stocked them. Except they didn’t and advised me that they weren’t going to be ordering any more. They suggested a couple of other options, so I took photos to show Mrs V and tried a couple of other pharmacies en route to her home but neither of them had them.

Arriving at Mrs V’s home empty handed, I explained the dilemma and showed her the alternative options. She advised that either would be fine as long as they were large and powder free.

So it was back to the original pharmacy and thankfully one of the options fitted the bill and the gloves were back on again! 🧤
