Despite the seasonal cold snap and snow, I got wrapped up and helped with car park stewarding duty at an Oxford Medical Centre where they were rolling out one of the approved COVID vaccines for the over 80s and those who were clinically vulnerable. There were a lot of happy faces for those who haven't been out in months due to shielding and many were impressed with the "wonderful efficiency" of the whole process!

This week, I've also pushed the boat out to deliver a prescription to a village outside of Oxford to a very thankful couple and they used litter pickers to pick up the prescription bag at the front door. Better safe than sorry I guess.

There was also a weekly food shop for a family much closer to home with national lockdown restrictions in place.

Can't seem to edit but there was also a semi-emergency shop for some teething gel for the family nearby too
