Mrs. M, was a lovely lovely lady. Everything was clearly set out for me but it was clear she was in a lot of discomfort so it was great to be able to get her prescription and things that she needed. After i completed the shopping and prescription collection, we had a great chat going to arrange topics but we both shared the love of reading. I’m going to try one of her recommendations a classic from the 1800s. It was great to meet Mrs. M.

It was great to see Mr. C again today, having missed last week. He was well looked after by Dave in my absence. This week was the same list but expanded so that Mr C can start doing some home cooking for himself, no more ready meals. We had a lovely chat For half an hour before I left for the shopping and it was good to hear that he feels a lot better and is getting out into the community. It has been great to see Mr C’s health gradually improve and I have enjoyed getting to know him and laughing over forgetting the milk one week. Neither of us knew if this was the last week but we said goodbye anyway just in case it was.

Mr C was very chatty today, we caught up on lots of subjects including American politics. We then went onto the list, lots of familiar items including the essentials, toilet rolls and biscuits. Mr C is always worried I might not manage it all, especially the milk. Shopping goes to plan and I make my way back with the toilet roll tucked under my arm. Mr C is very pleased that I managed everything on the list.

Missed a week due to illness and Mr C was keen for me to get cracking with the list. It’s all very familiar now as Mr C is a man of habits. List completed, brisk walk down to Aldi and a march through all the aisles. All essentials bought including toilet rolls balanced under my arms as I made my way back to his place.
