A lot to digest-ives
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Newham.
- Thursday, 2nd of April 2020
This mission was nicely timed to coincide with my lunch break so I jogged the short distance to Canning Town to sort out shopping for Mr J. In the interest of time I stopped off at the Co-Op on the way to pick up the items that had been listed in the mission briefing.
Thanks to having done a similar mission in the area last week I had also spent some time in that particular Co-op so was able to collect those items in a very short space of time, and thankfully the store was even better furnished than the previous occasion so I was able to show up at Mr J's with all the items on the list.
It was a very modest list and the produce came well under the advised £20 and when I met Mr J I asked him what else he would like me to go and pick up, but he was most pleased with the essentials that I had been able to provide for him.
Alongside the essentials there was one notable treat - a couple of packs of digestive biscuits. A fantastic choice for lockdown indulgence!
So with a quick handover, and a rapid departure I was back at my desk (at home) within an hour of initially leaving having accomplished a good deed and enjoyed some delightful midday sunshine for my mandated exercise.
