Cheeky Ms. I - went to the shops herself 😳
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.
- Sunday, 12th of April 2020
Ran over to Ms. I's place on a sunny Easter Sunday morning, but when u got there and ran her doorbell twice, her neighbour came out to say to me that she went out to the shops! The very task I ran over to her place to do?! After thanking the neighbour for letting me know, I called the number provided and it was Mark, her nephew, who apologied to me after hearing this and told me she is hard of hearing and potentially forgetful. However, during the call with Mark, she came shuffling along with her trolley and I introduced myself and asked her if she was alright. I told her what I was here for and she kept on saying 'yes' and 'thank you', but proceeded to her front door. I am not entirely sure if she did go to the shops and get the things she needed as I did not want to force myself to check her trolley. I thought that would be an invasion of privacy. I will take some comfort that she was in good spirits and hopefully, she got her things. Yet, I rather be safe than sorry and put this mission down as 'started' as I engaged with her and made sure she was alright, but marked it as 'incomplete' as the original specs of this mission wasn't done by myself and I'm unsure if she managed to do this herself too. Hope Mission Control can verify this next week.
