There was a funeral at the New Testament Church of God on Lyham Road; our local newsagent died a few days ago of a heart attack. If times had been normal, we would have attended the funeral; as it was, we did want to pay our respects, so we arranged to meet outside the church. I went down to Tulse Hill Sainsbury's, as I knew that would be about the right distance, but it really is a manky branch compared to Clapham, and I was in a hurry. In fact, I nearly forgot to put a mask on because I was concentrating on the Smart Shop app, and had to be reminded by the store staff.
Anyway, a quick dash round Sainsbury's, and then back along Water Lane and Lambert Road to the church; the funeral was supposed to start at 10:45, but of course it was nearer 11:20 by the time the hearse arrived and the coffin was taken into the church, at which point we came away and home via Strathleven Road.
I am extremely pleased with my times, though - under 15 minutes/km! I don't think I could have done that without sitting on someone's wall in Lambert Road for half an hour or so, though!
