Today I met up with Anne to help Ms T by assembling a flat pack wardrobe for her.

Anne found me near to Ms T's at the scheduled time, in a forward fold and heavily focused on petting a friendly ginger cat. Sadly I had to say goodbye to my new friend as we had flat pack to build! We made our hellos to Ms T shortly afterwards and got started.

Luckily, Anne and I have very similar approaches to assembling flat pack: we checked the parts against the listed inventory, looked over each step in advance, and occasionally double-checked each other's work. Even the occasional mistake was relatively easy to fix!

We also both found ourselves using some stretch and mobility exercises as we worked: At one point, Anne moved into warrior 3 to reach a perculiarly angled screw. At another, I was helping to move the wardrobe frame using, well, I'm not wholly sure what type of movements I was using, but it looked very much like Smeagal's movements ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Regardless, we finished the job relatively smoothly (if not exactly quickly). Ms T was very thankful for our efforts and gave each of us an easy peeler for the road. We made our goodbyes to Ms T, to each other, and to yet another friendly cat that asked for pets.

It was fun working with you Anne! ๐Ÿ˜Š
