After having tea and a bottle of water from Ms.H I walked to St Pancras Station. The clouds were getting darker when I was in the DLR, but I was prepared this time. My only worry was how to fix a table in a garden if it rains heavily.

After I rang the bell, Ms.L's husband welcomed me. Ms.L was relaxing on the sofa. There was no garden but a balcony in the house.

Mr.L sat in a chair and handed me the screws, Allen key, and the installation book. I was looking for the patio table parts for some time before realizing they were right under my legs.

The installation guide said it's a 1-2 person task and would take 15 minutes.

I tried to make sense of the guide but decided to use my instinct instead. After 15 minutes of back and forth, I figured out the correct position to screw them.

I felt relieved as figured it out before it started raining. However, my bladder was not. Took a short loo break and came back and assembled it in a few minutes.

Ms.L tried to give me £5, but I refused and explained the GoodGym policy. They were grateful for the work I did. Then I walked my way to the station before getting blocked by the Super League Triathlon that had just started in Canary Wharf. After cheering the athletes for a few minutes I left East London.
