I started today's double lunchtime mission with every intention of being on time... but the world seemed to have udder ideas. I struggled to get hold of Mrs D on the phone to ask what she would like me to collect for her. After trying for 20 minutes, I finally got through - Mrs D apologised profusely; she had been on the phone with her GP. After a quick chat I was given my list - today Mrs D had ordered just two pints of milk from Planet Organic, which were ready and waiting for me. She also explained that she would like me to collect some mouthwash for her, and wanted to show me the bottle to make sure that I got the right one. So, with my instructions now received, I first headed to collect Mrs D's milk in the lovely London sunshine. This part of the mission was over very quickly, and I popped over to Mrs D's to drop it off. I always really enjoy visiting Mrs D as she lives very close to the British Museum; it's lovely to see so many people visiting now that restrictions are easing. After being shown the bottle of mouthwash, and Mrs D reminding me to check that the seal on the new bottle wasn't broken, I set off for Superdrug to buy some for her. Thankfully they had plenty in stock, so with a careful inspection of the seals I picked up a bottle and headed back to Mrs D. She was extremely grateful that I had managed to find some as she had been struggling to get hold of it for a few weeks. And what time was it when I finished this mission? Tooth hurty - how fitting! 🦷😁
