Mrs C. has been self isolating, and it was a privilege to get some groceries for her. She had a list, quite clear and simple, except Round 2-3. She explained that she wanted some baked item from Lidl, the best I could understand was Pretzels. So I went to buy her goods, and a Lycamobile top-up as she can call family back home.

Well, groceries was simple (after standing in line for a while), but getting Lyca top-up was my round 2-3. It was the third shop that I was able to get it at, as the first was closed, and the second had ran out.

In the end, I managed and delivered the goods to a very happy Mrs C. who was so thankful that this will help her connect without paying exuberant money. We said our social distant goodbyes and I was off.

I felt good after my round 2-3 to be able to bring momentary joy in her life in such uncertain times.
