Shopping for Mrs R proved a delight.

Got to Sainsbury's and got in with nearly no queue, though forgetting a £1 coin meant I couldn't get a trolley :-( . Turns out I'd also forgotten my reading glasses, which meant some interesting arms length reading of the shopping list!

As well as the usual groceries (milk, bread, veg etc), Mrs R had asked for Scottie shortbread biscuits. I wasn't quite sure what this was, so I was delighted to find them. Nice to give Mrs R a bit of a treat as well as the basics, though it turned out the blueberries were her real treat. I have to agree with her on that, fresh blueberries on your cornflakes makes for a super breakfast.

Then we had a lovely chat on the doorstep, and I was pleased to find that Mrs R was absolutely thrilled with the support she's been getting from all sorts of bodies across Lewisham - us, of course, but also the hospital and other bits of the care network.

Great way to start the day.
