Today was my first mission in over a year but I needn't have worried. Mrs J greeted me with a smile and welcomed me into her home.

Mrs J explained that she was a bit unsteady on her feet and nervous about using the step ladder to put up her newly laundered curtains. We made a start by moving some of the furniture and taking down the temporary curtains before adding some extra curtain holders to hold the heavier drapes. We counted out the curtain rings carefully to make sure they were even on both sides. Then a team effort to put the curtain hooks back in and up they went.

Mrs J and I had a lovely chat and it turned out that we are birthday twins with a forthcoming birthday on Monday. Mrs J explained that our birthday coincided with Queen Victoria's birthday so we were in good company!

Mrs J assessed the curtains and announced that it was the best birthday present! She was particularly happy that they were even on both sides. 👌

It was time to bid Mrs J farewell, just as the postman arrived with some birthday cards! This was such a fab mission to re-start my GoodGym volunteering. Happy Birthday Mrs J! 🎂
