Good morning Goodgymmers! Today's fine mission had me doing grocery shopping for the lovely Ms J. I had spoken to Mr I, Ms J's relative earlier on that day and received the grocery list. Fortunately the grocery store was near by their house because Ms J needed 12 litres of water.

I hopped on over to the nearest grocery store and proceeded to get all the items on Ms J's list.

I wandered over to Ms J's house. This is my 4th mission which has had me pick up large heavy quantities of liquid. I am seriously considering a shopping trolley on wheels, but worry that would about how this would affect my street cred. It does help that I strongly believe that I am incapable of being cool. If you want any more evidence, look no further than my strava runs!

I wandered over to Ms J's and left the groceries outside the house. Mr I popped outside to pick up the groceries and thanked me profusely and in hindi as well! As I've managed all the grocery missions so far with no missing items, I gave myself a 5* rating and headed home!

Stay safe goodgymmers!
