Today I set off a bit earlier for a weekly shop for Ms N. In the morning I was trying out a new killer boot camp workout at my local park and was not sure if I can run all the way to the mission after that. Eventually, I ran about 3/4 of the distance, then walked, as I realised I will be there too early. I ended up still having 4 minutes before the official mission start to sit down on my usual bench and look at the pavement. I enjoy that moment of reflection.

Ms N showed me her garden today and said a gardener from the council comes over regularly to mow the grass but there is no one to take care of the plant pots. There are several of them but nothing grows inside. Ms N said she has soil and is going to consult her friend who is well-versed in gardening and has some seeds for her. I wonder if that could be another GoodGym mission to help Ms N?

The shopping was very easy. I didn't have to go anywhere else apart from Sainsbury's and Co-Op. The only difficulty was the fruit bread. I had a rough idea of what that is and asked Ms N if this was something pre-packed. At Sainsbury's, I found the Soreen malt loaf that had some fruit in it because that was the product which was on my mind. I never tried it but believed that it is a sort of fruit bread. It was not exactly what Ms N wanted. Apparently, there is another fruit bread. I should do my research next time! Ms N really wanted to have something sweet but she said she will try the loaf I brought her. Anyways, I got her also malted milk biscuits, not being able to find the sweet biscuit mix. I consider that a win as I am clueless in the biscuit department.
