Asda trip number two, and a revisit to Mr S.
I last saw him in the autumn, when I got a little lost in his estate. This time I was able to cycle straight to his door.
Last time I saw Mr S, he was in relative good health. At the moment, he is suffering with swollen feet, and is unable to put on any footwear. His COPD has been under control, but he has to have further tests to identify issues that he is having. It is so sad to think that, just before Christmas, he was able to ride his motorbike, and now he is unable to step outside his front door.
We had a chat about camping, which we have both enjoyed in the past. Mr S told me some tales of his camping trips, like the time he and a group of friends camped in Belgium, during their worst winter, when the temperature fell to -30! After that he got an army sleeping bag...
Mr S asked if I would post a letter for him, as there had been an issue with his benefits payment...and he needed to get it sorted as soon as possible.
It's such a difficult time for so many people, that we need to do whatever we can to help.
