Tim and I met on Saturday in Waltham Forest to help Ms W with a couple of tasks. First of all Tim took down the curtains in the front room so that they could be cleaned. Next up was clearing out some books. Recovering from a broken ankle at the end of last year meant that Ms W had spent a lot of time looking at her collection of books and realised that it was time to have a bit of a clear out. We took all the books off the shelves and handed them to Ms W so that she could decided what to do with them. It was quite an eclectic mix including but not limited to:

A lot of Margaret Attwood

The Tao of love and sex: The ancient Chinese way to Ecstasy

Postman pat annual

An IKEA catalogue from 2001

DOORS: A guide to the internet

The DVD and VHS collection was also assessed. Sadly quite a few of the VHS tapes were unlabeled so it was hard to know what was on them, we did spot ‘Last of the summer wine season 7 and 8’ and ‘Deep blue sea: Jaws with attitude’ in amongst the collection though.

The hour that we were there flew by with lots of laughs and compliments on how great we were from Ms W. A great start to the weekend.
