Although not explicitly asked for in the mission listing, height was the crucial factor in the success of this mission. At 6'1", with one foot on a stepladder and one on the window sill, I could only just reach the displaced curtain hook. It was not surprising that Ms R, in her own words "only 4'6"", couldn't rehang the curtain herself.

But it was soon done - so enough time to change the battery in her alarm clock, as well. Spookily, I didn't have to adjust the time - as the time I restarted it was the time it had stopped..........
