Today I ran to Mr C to assist in delivering a sample to his local GP. Pickup was easy and expertly socially distanced, as he buzzed me into his building telling me the package would be left in the hallway outside his flat. It was, so I grabbed it and we had a brief and cordial exchange from opposite sides of his door.

I then walked it down the road to the medical practice where I left it in the hands of the professionals. Job done.

At which time I headed to a nearby bakery for a refill on my sticky bun prescription.
