Joe went shopping the day before, I had an errand the 16th. Afterwards, I was to pick up Joe's Rx.
The trek to the drugstore... it wasn't easy. I drove in on Elliot St. This is where I wanted to go, the building on the far left is the drug store. (Even though it is labelled Canada Post!) Highway 7 runs through Perth, is terribly busy, I tend to avoid it.
I thought I was at the parking lot when I turned right, but realized the truck was trying to get to the delivery ramp at the ↓black arrow. I'd headed up Gore St. W. and didn't have much choice after turning left on Elliot!
This is what I found, a large semi blocking the road.
What could I do but go around. I presumed he was delivering to the drug store. I cannot imagine doing this. These big delivery trucks have to drive in off Elliot, drive up to the highway and back up to the delivery ramp. Funny thing, I met it at the other entrance.
Monday was busier. Someone put out his shoulder. I hustled into town. I took in a suitcase full of children's books. Classics, like Dr. Seuss, and some wonderful nature picture books on frogs, toads, trees and such. Two bags of potassium chloride and some frozen M & M's meals from Home Hardware!
I rewarded myself with a panini and caesar salad from the cafe for lunch. Somebody was sitting in his chair with headphones on. He didn't notice me, and I ate my lunch at the table.
Back home to more snow. Either rain, thaw or snow!
It's so much nicer when the sun is out.
Tues., Jan. 20. Bundle up!

That's some serious snow! Three cheers for braving it and the traffic. I'm not sure I would have done it unless essential!
Cute deer video! Take care, have a great day!
So much snow! And cold. From your post the other day, I am definitely not a city dweller. I look at those pictures and get anxiety just looking at them.
Your dashcam works well.
So glad the deer have such thick fur coats to wear! Sorry about traffic snafu!

We just had a weirdly mild day (around 7'C)... can't help thinking there will be a plummet to follow! Our pharmacies will deliver to the over-65s... YAM xx
I have been avoiding driving since we got all the snow last week. It is sunny but cold here today.
Driving in town in the winter is almost as bad as driving on the highway!
Your town looks much bigger than ours...and a whole lot snowing! All our snow has melted, even though it hasn't been above freezing since Saturday.
I hope he appreciated your efforts to get his meds!
We're 8 km away, and that is too far for deliveries!
