Ripped and Ready
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Ealing.
- Friday, 8th of September 2023
This might be the shortest distance I've travelled between two missions as it was just a floor away. After completing a shopping mission on the ground floor, I went one floor up to do shopping for Mr. A.
It was my second time with Mr.A as well. The shopping list featured similar items from the last time. Got myself clarified with the list a couple of times and left Mr.A's flat around 1 p.m. Mr.A couldn't go outside for 6 weeks as the lift in the apartment was not working for 6 weeks. I met the referrer who happened to see my GoodGym T-shirt and was explaining that to me when I was leaving.
I knew there was another shopping mission happening in Ealing Broadway around the same time and I thought I might cross paths with the other GoodGymer. I went to Morrisons and my memory was still fresh from the last Friday. So I got all the items fairly quickly. The Tetley 240 tea bags were out of stock. Except that, I got all the items from the list.
As the items were on the heavier side, one of the two "bags for life" met with an unexpected death. Luckily the flat was not far away and managed to get the items safely to Mr.A . He already had the door open. So I dropped the shopping bags in the kitchen and started walking towards my home along the Mattock lane.
Near the St.John's church, where I knew at least two GoodGymers might be inside doing the community mission for Ealing Soup kitchen, I met a third GoodGymer running towards me. It was Kash who I thought might cross paths with earlier. She was on her way from her shopping mission.
