Mission

Contrasting Fortunes...

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.

This was one of those missions that on paper sounded pretty straightforward and in reality was actually even easier, much unlike the previous visit that Pete and Nick had made to help Ms E back in October. I can confirm that the wardrobe they were tasked with moving out of a bedroom up some stairs into another room was really quite big and having briefly met the delightful Ms E, imagine her amusement at their undertaking. For Pete and I today, we arrived to find the divan bed we were expecting to remove already dismantled and so it was a very quick job to take everything outside for collection the next day, leaving space for the delivery of a more suitable profiling bed.

Nice to catch-up afterwards too, sharing our plans for the festive season... or rather complete lack of plans. Perhaps a silver lining is that this might mean more time for GoodGymming…

Well done both - glad to see this particular mission ended well - I can only hope the chatty Ms E wasn't in her bed as you removed it from her bedroom...although she'd probably have been giving you instructions on the way out!
