Kash and Sevan rang Mrs S' door bell and waited. Another ring and still nothing. Before the third attempt, they heard some muffled noises from inside, then a bit more clearly

"(something something) is open" - Mrs S

Kash tried the front door and it was definitely locked. She could see someone moving around inside and eventually the front door opened. They discovered that Mrs S had reduced mobility and found it hard to tend to the garden or even make it outside.

Due to a scheduling snafu with her next mission, Kash tried to explain that she had 1 hour to help out, while Sevan had an extra 30 minutes. There was a list of tasks to work through in that time, the most important being to clear the leaves from Mrs S' back garden.

The patio came first, with Kash mostly brushing leaves and picking them out of pots while Sevan mostly scooped them into the garden waste bins. Kash covered the wooden garden furniture to keep the rain off, while Sevan scooped leaves from the side of the house. By then, it was already time for Kash to go, leafing Sevan to uphold the honour or GoodGym and meet Mrs S' expectations.

Sevan stayed and was asked to give plant food to the fruit trees in the garden. This wasn't the first time he'd been asked to identify fruit trees and his response was the same

"Which ones are they? Can you point them out for me?" - Sevan

Guided by some shouts from indoors, Sevan fed some trees. Maybe they were even fruit trees 🤷

The last task was to hose down the patio to remove the remaining mud and leaves, then Sevan tidied up and took the last garden waste bin to the front of the house.
