Pick up for HP
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.
- Monday, 20th of April 2020
With blue skies and a blustery sunny day to boot, I set off just before lunch time to complete my mission. I cycled the quick three miles, calling directly to the pharmacy. Top tip folks: ring the pharmacy and double check opening times and closures! Arriving at 1:03pm I quickly found out that they closed from 1pm -2pm. The post office is open from 10am -12pm and the shop until 5pm. It appeared that I wasnt the only one to make this rookie error as many people arrived and left... With just over 45 mins to kill, I went to a close by park and basked in the pollen. (hay fever in full swing) Returning back to the pharmacy at 2pm, I was first in line, once inside I gave the pharmacist all necessary details. They knew of Mr P. in the community With prescription in hand, I made the quick trip to Mr. P's house. I delivered his items and we said hello and smiled at each other from a distance. Born in the early 1930's I reckon he probably has some good stories to tell, maybe next time :)
