Bank holiday today so some challenges as limited stores open and public services also reduced. A bit of running, walking and bus to get to Ms D and checked out in her area if shops were open etc. Knew I was up for a challenge today! Ms D welcomed me and realised it was bank holiday, and was not too worried if I could not get all the items. She had family around the last few days so had plenty of food and just needed some essential items. This was a typical Goodgym mission as had to run between stores due to bank holiday : roughly 3km to go from one to another. Ms D normally gets items from Waitrose but was ok to get the essentials from elsewhere. So I ran with a list and some cash to 2 different waitrose's I the area...closed!!!Next was Mark's and Spencers which was normally supposed to be open, but not today!! Then last attempt was a Tesco that I noticed a bit further : yeah we have a winner. Limited items as reduced opening hours today and not refilling due to limited deliveries. Got all the main essentials for Ms D like the milk, bread, fruit ,soup etc...only 4 items missing which were not critical for her like the TV list. Ms D was happy to have her shopping done despite it being a bank holiday.
