If the start of a new year is about taking yourself out of your comfort zone, then (at least within the confines of GoodGym shopping missions) today was the start of a brand new me - my first venture to Lewisham to shop for a beneficiary (other missions have been completed in this particular 'hood), and so armed with Mr V's detailed list, I set off for his local Asda.

About 20 laps later of all the aisles, I'd found nearly everything, including the big box of cat food (another first) that he specifically wanted. I was glad I'd bought the backpack too, although a Sherpa would've been handy. Mr V's comment as he opened the door to welcome me back was "I should've given you the trolley"...next time Mr V, next time...
