Mum got some groceries delivered today, an opportunity to get some of the heavy stuff like bottles and awkward big rolls of toilet paper that are difficult to bring home on a busy bus after work. She got a text to say that they had been delivered, but there was nothing outside our house. When she went to the website, it said to give them an hour or so to see if they were just delayed. An hour later there was a knock on the door, and a young lady said that the groceries were dropped off at her house at the other end of the street. She kindly then offered to drive the down in her car for mum and help unload them.
Mum thanked the nice neighbor who was so kind to help her out, and will pop into the garden center at the weekend to pick her up a nice pot plant to thank her. It was a nice reminder that there are some nice helpful people out there - what we would describe as a good sort.

infection..latest news this morning is that cat

all ended well..
But! They do say that cats or dogs cannot transfer
the virus to humans..! :).
Poppy, dear, it's good to know your mum has grocery delivery available -- and that she has a good neighbor just down the street. I've been using the grocery delivery option since the pandemic began, and I've found it especially helpful with such heavy items as bags of cat litter. The pot plant is a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteLovely neighbor, Poppy. Hope mum gets a coupon or discount
ReplyDeletefrom the store next time she shops. The lady will be surprised
and pleased with a thank you gift.
You have a good neighbour, Poppy! We're glad your mum got her order, that someone else didn't keep it. If there's a way for your mum to notify the delivery company, we recommend she does. That's happened to us, the human has taken to adding in extra directions or texting the driver (if possible) with specifics about our location.

ReplyDeleteIt is nice to know you have such good neighbours. I have had everything delivered since the beginning of March and went into a shop for the first time on Saturday. It felt strange and I was surprised how nervous I was. I had to go to get Ivor a birthday card though
ReplyDeleteGlad the naybor helped out so your mum got her stuff. I hope she let the store know that they goofed on the delivery.
ReplyDeleteThat sure was nice of that neighbor, Poppy. And we think Mum's plan to buy her a plant is super awesome, too.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of your neighbor. A potted plant is a good thank you.

ReplyDeleteIt was nice that your near neighbour helped out, but it would have been nicer had the groceries been delivered right…
ReplyDeleteHow lovely and very kind of you to reward her kindness in return! x
