Mr E needed help to collect and deliver his prescription, and being over the other side of town, I jumped at the chance for a bit of a cycle. It was a glorious, crisp morning and I was glad to have a reason to be out and about.

I had a lovely chat with the pharmacy staff, who knew of Mr E and were disappointed not to seem him today, then wrangled the goods into my backpack (which I thankfully picked up last minute!), and enjoyed a pottery cycle to deliver them.

Although I didn't get to meet Mr E, his wife was very pleased to receive his medication, so a worthwhile trip.

The sunshine, cycle, and smiles, made for a great mission. ☀️ 🚲 💊 😊

Working late all round, we skipped the run beforehand and met directly at the task - each having run or cycled there, of course. With the sudden drop in temperatures, I can't say I was too sad about it! ❄️

This week, we headed back to Jimmy's Cambridge to help with Thursday's dinner service. On the menu tonight was sausage casserole with potatoes, peas and sweetcorn 🍽

I scooped sausages, Beth served spuds and Catherine veg-etated. Unable to find a slotted spoon, we sourced an unusual implement that we all recognised but didn't know its name or use. A quick Google told us it was a strainer ladle, which tickled us all and proved hard to not add a yodel to! Once again, we proved to be a well-oiled machine and had dinner dished up in no time ⏱️

For the veggie option, we dutifully checked the temperature of the pie in the oven. At a toasty 89.6 °C, it somehow still wasn't the hottest reading of the week! 🔥

Finally, it was time for dessert: this week, a carrot cake with custard 🥕

Oiling the machine again, we assigned roles and got stuck into the clean up. Catherine put an absolute shift in and stole the show with an impressively sparkling pot - a workout in itself! Meanwhile, Beth collected the dirty dishes and I put out clean mugs. Between the three of us, we eventually worked out how to open the dishwasher, and piled it high 🧼

In a first for GG Cambridge, we have extra time at Jimmy's this week and are looking forward to our return visits!
