I took advantage of my non-typical work location this Wednesday to incorporate a scenic 4km walk from Victoria to Bloomsbury for my usual evening shop for Ms F. The route took me through the busy streets of Central London, filled with smartly dressed people, and past some quintessential London landmarks.

Ms F recently returned from her holiday, where she had been braving the snow with Nordic walking poles every day. While that activity had been a fantastic exercise that made her feel stronger and more refreshed, back at home, she still needed help with carrying heavy groceries. She was delighted to see me around to take up her six-pack water-carrying challenge.

I was very lucky at Waitrose with the fish and cheese counters that weren't closed this time. Unfortunately, the freezers weren't doing equally well, with only a quarter of them working and having stock in them, so I wasn't able to buy French fries. A minor disappointment occurred when I reported to Ms F that her vouchers hadn't been applied, despite having scanned her loyalty card. After a quick investigation, we found out that Ms F had forgotten to claim them in her Waitrose app, being caught up with her appointments. Next time!
