Thrice as nice

When I received the mission confirmation I again recognised the name and the confirmed location - I had helped out Ms N with her shopping a couple of times earlier, although not for a couple of weeks. I was provided with a typically comprehensive list and equipped with the knowledge of her favourite shop, I headed directly to Sainsbury's after finishing up work for the week.

Despite a close call with the watercress (last packet in the store) and a failure to find any spring rolls I got round the store in record time and was soon ringing the doorbell at Ms N's place.

She was delighted to have all her shopping (and to see me again as well, I hope!) and we had an extended chat mostly about food, and our shared appreciation for eating cherry tomatoes direct from the pack like sweets.

Having now completed a hat-trick of missions for Ms N, we parted ways hoping that we'll see each other again soon for another Sainsbury's shopping adventure. For someone that has been holed up inside since the start of March unable to venture outside the confines of her house, it puts my own (comparatively very fortunate) situation into perspective!
