This is one of my regular missions - I’d dropped off the lovely Ms E’s heavy laundry at the laundrette close to where I live. She has a small flat and finds it difficult to dry the washing at home. She used to take it to the laundrette herself but her mobility issues now make this impossible. Today’s task was picking it up for Ms E and taking it back to her fla t and having a chat with her.

I was about to go out and do some intervals when I saw the message about Ms O needing a prescription picking up for her- she’s a lovely woman, but gets quite anxious about running out of her medication. The pharmacy seemed surprised that she needed anything but had experienced problems with their phone so she hadn’t been able to speak to them. A quick call to Ms O then passing my phone to the pharmacist sorted the problem out, and I delivered the prescription a few minutes later to the relieved Ms O. As for the intervals, they were done en route.

Adi and Paul partnered to pick Lewisham litter on dull, damp days. Adi was in Sydenham's Mayow Park, Paul in Deptford's Brookmill Park. In adddition to a black sack full of litter, Paul saw the early stages of courting rituals of both the herons and the Egyptian geese as wel, as a fleeting glimpse of a kingfisher.

This was an almost unintentional mission - I had planned to shop for someone else but wasn’t quick enough signing up! So I saw another shop listed about 5 minutes walk from home.

Mr G wasn’t really prepared for a GG shopper, he had no list and wasn’t sure how he was going to pay. We soon realised though that we had a lot in common and chatted for ages; it transpired that a close friend that he’d lost touch with when they moved out of London was still in touch with me and was coming to stay next weekend!

The shop at Lidl took 20 minutes but start to finish was 1:45 - we had a brilliant time.

Proving that it's easy to represent all five major food groups in a meat-free planet-friendly shopping basket, Mr V's list of requests this morning included plenty of fresh fruit and veg, yoghurts, and a wholegrain loaf - seeded for extra protein and healthy fats. There's a supermarket close to his home, as well as grocery stalls where I found beetroots and pumpkin, so all in all it was a quick task to help re-fill the fridge for nourishing meals ahead.

It was a pretty standard shop for the lovely Ms Y today, albeit a day earlier than normal - bread from Sainsburys Local by the station and then the rest from the Co-op, taking advantage of several offers as a member.

There was one difference though, she asked me to go into the chemists and check whether they would be delivering her medication today. I was asked whether I would like to take it with me, not realising that it was a large carrier bag full! It was a struggle getting everything back to Ms Y’s but she was very relieved.
