Mr J threw something of a curved ball when asking me to get the Sri Lankan speciality Goraka paste. One shop claimed to have it but couldn’t find it, most had never heard of it.

Small frozen fish, sprats, have been on the shopping list for a while. But as well as those, I was charged with finding out what other small frozen fish I could get and sardines were added to the shop. The ASDA part was very simple, apart from getting a box of cornflakes almost as bit as the trolley!

The time consuming part of the task was collecting the discharge letter from Mrs J’s stay in hospital to take to the pharmacy. They initially gave me the wrong one so there was a return visit.
