The usual goodgymer, who makes the weekly shopping for Mr K., didn’t feel well. She is a GG-superhero!! Although she was sick, she managed to contact mission control and find other goodgymer, who could make the shopping for Mr. K. and didn’t leave him down.

After talking with my GG friend, who let me know all details for the mission, I arrived Mr. K’s place few minutes earlier, however Mr. P wasn’t at home. He went to have some lunch with a friend, but he left the shopping list and money to a lovely lady, who was cleaning his house. When the lady showed me the shopping list, I found that I have no idea of some of the items (e.g., "Beef Casserole in a tin "). Thanks God that she opened some cupboard and she patiently show me it.

The store is very big, but it was not easy to find all the items and I had to come back to the house to question the lady as Mr. K wanted some specific items, but his list was quite vague (e.g. “brown bread”). I felt like in an "egg hunt" game. Finally, I sought help from the staff for few items and most of the items on the list was found.

When I returned to Mr. K’ s home, he has just back from his lunch out. So, I showed the items one by one to Mr. K to make sure they are what he wanted. After, having a lovely chat about football and cricket I left. It was a fruitful experience!
