Shopping in the rain
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Kingston upon Thames.
- Tuesday, 28th of April 2020
Oh blimey, what a heavy rain in Kingston today! Gosia - who was smart enough to take an umbrella ☔ - was helping Ms T with some essential grocery shopping 🛍.
Ms T welcomed me very warmly on the phone. It felt especially nice very nice after being soaked by the cold rain right before 🥶. Ms T was incredibly nice, prepared upfront and put everything on her doorstep - two bags, the shopping list and £20 in a small foil bag. I grabbed all from there and rushed into the shopping area.
It was a great surprise 🎁 and very heartwarming ♥️ to see a little "Thank you Gossier" not at the top of the list. I was lucky as there was almost no queues today in all three shops I went to (maybe the rain scare few shoppers of) and managed to get everything Ms T wanted.
After around 40 mins I was back at Ms T's flat. I put everything on the doorstep (groceries, receipts and change), stepped away and gave her a quick call ☎️. I waited in distance for a little while, just to see that she has managed to pick her shopping up. She thanked me at the door and also sent a short text "Thank you sweet thing." This immediately warmed my heart 🔥.
