Raining Cats 'n' Pots
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Camden.
- Monday, 29th of January 2018
Michael and Gosia met up in Camden today to help out Mrs M in a preparation for her moving out in the next few weeks 🏡. She is changing her current place to a flat located just few buildings down the street and needed some help in getting the stuff packed 🎒 and ready to go.
It was rainy 🌧 and gray 🌫 outside and although we run / cycle to get here, it was great that our mission was indoor 😊. There were few smaller tasks to handle so - to be as efficient as possible - we split after our arrival to do them in parallel.
Michael took care of the kitchen - packing up cutlery 🍽, pots and household supplies into boxes. Gosia went to the bathroom 🛁 and - as requested by Mrs M - put sheets and towels into black bin bags to get them ready for a transport. The next task was handled by both of us, and involved taking down books 📚 from one of Mrs M's shelves and getting rid of the dust.
Just before heading off we helped with handling some of the bags - partly moving them to a new flat, partly giving them up for a donation at a local charity shop.
All was done under a supervision of Mrs M's cat - Frankie 🐱, who was very friendly, cuddly (purrrrr, purrrrr) but not so very helpful 🙄.
Mrs M still needs a help with moving out but now wanted to have a bit of time to review and sort out some of the things at her current place. She is expecting a call from GG soon so she can let know what exactly is needed.
