The Original Taste
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Ealing.
- Sunday, 29th of May 2022
Getting there:
I had just a bit less than 3 miles to get to Mr R.
I took a more scenic route this time. Then I took the wrong turn... Or 3 wrong turns.
I was fixing my laces 3 times on the way.
I ended up arriving 3 minutes late.
Shopping:
Mr R's list today felt like a cheat day: it didn't have any fruit but biscuits and coke instead.
When asked about which coke Mr R prefers, he replied that he wanted the regular one.
The original taste of Coca-Cola seemed to be something on its way to become history. I could not find the cans of coke sold individually, only Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Zero.
I managed to find the original coke cans in six-packs (Mr R wanted just four cans) hidden high on the top shelf. Then I had to find one of those stools on the wheels to get it.
Other curiosities: I learnt about the existence of potato waffles.
Way back:
The mission in Alperton's Sainsbury's was an opportunity to restock on plant protein powder, spices and assorted nuts for a decent price.
I was knackered after yesterday, so I walked on the way back.
Finally, I had a chance to marvel at the scenic locations: green, industrial, waterfront, residential and main road sites.
I was so hungry I bought half of Asda before getting home.
The end.
