Fry-day night shopping
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Ealing.
- Friday, 1st of September 2023
I didn't check the location before going for the second shopping mission today. It's in the same building as the previous one. I thought I could have done both of them together when I rang Mr. A.
Mr.A was waiting for me when I called ahead as I was late by 10 minutes. After entering the building I saw the same lady whom I saw this morning, sitting in the same place. I pressed the doorbell and waited for Mr.A to open the doors. I could hear a mumble behind the door. After waiting for a few seconds, I could hear the voice a bit better. "Doors" is the only word I could make out of the mumble. I opened the door to check my luck and the door opened.
Mr.A lost his mobility and was in his bedroom. He couldn't come to the main door and because of the noise outside I couldn't hear him saying that the door was open. Mr.A had 6 items written down in his notepad. When discussing we added 3 more items. This list looked simple and went to Morrisons on broadway.
I managed to find all the items on the shopping list. But 9 items filled two bags and it was on the heavier side. It was good that I didn't do two missions at the same time. Otherwise, it would have been hard to carry the items. Mr.A asked me to put the grocery bags on top of the kitchen shelf and fridge. He was very grateful for what I did and thanked GoodGym as well.
