I recognised the name and address of this mission immediately, having visited Mrs E three times in the last three years to help with her garden. She normally left us with a big hug, but sadly I knew that wasn't in store today!
I headed to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription for Mrs E, then swiftly made it to her house to drop it off. Her daughter picked it up and was very grateful.
I was back home within half an hour, feeling very smug, when I reread the email and realised I was also supposed to pick up a bottle of water!
With visions of Mrs E with hundreds of pills but nothing to wash them down with, I left the house again for a possibly illegal second time, hopped on my bike and went back to Mrs E. I picked up a couple of bottles of water and left them on the doorstep for Mrs E's daughter to pick up.
She was surprised to see me, but seemed pleased. I headed home and still made it back within the hour, so hopefully Boris would forgive me.
