Report written by Mridula Iyer
Good Afternoon Goodgymmers! Today I did a mission with at a house with a very adorable door and also beneficiary. After arriving at the house and knocking on the door, Mr J answered. He bore a remarkable resemblance to the main character from Up. I didn't tell him this but instead asked for his shopping list and off I went.
Whenever there is a shopping list with beer on it, it makes me sad when the supermarket attendant no longer challenges my age. I miss the days of indignantly saying "A 18 year old would not appreciate the bouquet on this Picpoul de Pinet! I'm 32!". Anyway, it was a quick shop and I was back with Mr J within 30 minutes. Unfortunately my head was not screwed on and I decided to place his shopping on a door that was not his! Fortunately the house was empty and 4 minutes later I realised my mistake. I scurried back over to Mr. J's house and dropped off his groceries. He asked if I would be back again, to which I responded I would try!
And then I walked back home. On my way back I realised I was solidly middle aged when I yelled at two chidren on scooters as they weaved dangerously through the foot traffic. Had I managed to stop them, they would have gotten a lecture on responsibility!
