This was a last minute mission to pick up one item of medication for Mr R that hadn't been included in his package yesterday - as I was in the area it was an easy peddle to get it done - and I'd done a delivery for Mr R a couple of weeks ago, so knew the places to go. This was Mr R's third GG visit, and he was very grateful for the support he'd received.

All went smoothly, the pharmacy didn't need my ID this time and I turned right at the correct junction and so avoided the painful peddle up that steep hill, but the best part was having a chat with Mr R, who disclosed he used to be an amateur boxer in his younger days and talked a little about his former career - we didn't quite get into sparring (socially distanced of course), but we did "measure each other up", comparing our heights, and at the end bumped fists by way of saying goodbye. It had been a truly fascinating (and completely unexpected) ten minutes!
