Dolphinately a successful mission

Mr G’s back pain has been particularly bad for the last couple of days so he was pleased to have the regular GoodGym shopping visit to help him out. The shopping trip itself was fairly straightforward - two supermarkets this week with most of the requested items found, albeit with a couple of ready-meal substitutions. Mr G was particularly pleased to get cavalo nero again this week, his preferred green veg.

It’s always a pleasure to visit Mr G because the conversation is guaranteed to be wide-ranging and very amusing. This week we covered water meters, his opinion of his neighbours, (his dislike of) Victoriana and also the amazing ability of dolphins to act together to defend their calves against sharks. Not a totally random topic - it was brought on by me mentioning that despite having visited him several times, I had only just noticed the highly distinctive topiary just down the road.

I always notice the dolphin 🐬 Maybe I run to Mr G from the other direction than you Alan. Every time I see it, I think it would be awesome to have the skills to sculpt something like that!

I think I am just very unobservant, Kash 😂 Also think you’ve got real potential as a topiarist judging by your report yesterday!
