Sun like it hot
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in York.
- Wednesday, 20th of May 2020
♫ Well sometimes I go out by myself ( because social distancing, obvs) and I look across the water (because that's where the mission is)♫... because today my mission was to help Mrs V with acquiring some groceries ♫not just shoppin anywhere ♫ but from the local M&S .
As it was the first mission i'd been able to get for a while, I set out with equal parts anticipation and anxiety, but as soon as I'd completed step 1 i.e. finding the right address and getting Mrs V's shopping list, I stepped out into the warm sunshine with the Zutons playing in my head already back in my GG stride.
Any anxiety was eased further by the lack of a queue and a fully stocked food hall, so in no time at all I'd managed to get everything on Mrs V list which made me as happy as her, no doubt! With the shopping all packed up I trotted back over the river to Mrs V (getting a friendly hello from a stranger who seemed to recognise the Goodgym efforts) and dropped off the shopping to an appreciative Mrs V, and with that I was on my way.
Again I forgot to take a picture, so here's a modified Keith Haring inspired penguin I did.
