I know a great joke about herbs and fishes however now is not the thyme or plaice for that

My mission today had its hurdles today and was a lesson about assumptions. I arrived at Ms M, having already done a shop for her before I assumed that I would be doing a shop nearby, I was however wrong.

Ms M had been given Morrison vouchers for her birthday and asked if I was able to get her phone looked at for repair somewhere. The problem was that Morrisons was nearly 2 miles away in Peckham and I was doubtful that any phone repair shops would be open.

Luckily I had my bike and a backpack on me so I figured I would be able to get her shop. It just meant cycling with shopping bags hanging off my back pack due to the amount and size of the items.

The phone repair shops in Peckham and Dulwich were all closed so therefore I was unable to help her out in that department.

The shop in Morrisons however was successful, only missing two items. I had to purchase two strong bags in order to transport it safely as my bag was full with other items from her shopping. Another task was also to check if her lottery ticket was a winner... unfortunately not.

I arrived back in good time fortunately, ready for my second mission a couple kilometres away.
