Michelle and Kash met for another Friday afternoon gig, this time in Acton, where Ms D needed help with her garden. Ms D prepared a strimmer, but there was no grass in the garden, so Michelle and Kash suggested other tools for the job. Ms D then scrambled to look for the secateur and later to find scissors to open the secateur's packaging.

The byproducts of weeding the flower beds, paving and cutting back ivy had to fit in two green bags Ms D had borrowed from her neighbour. And they did, after some stamping on them.

Michelle spent the last five minutes of the mission performing a simple yet critical task: removing leaves from the drain cover with a litter picker. Ms D was particularly fond of the "pincers", as she described them, not falling into the litter fighters' jargon. She praised the contraption as so handy for those with limited mobility. Ms D loved the concept of a picker with a magnet and the idea of having one of those in each room.
