Today, Ana and I went over the the lovely Mrs C's house, to be able to move her bed to make space to fit in a hospital bed. We were met by her lovely helper L who, kept a socially correct distance from us all. We walked in pushing the doors open with our elbows, and washed our hands as soon as we entered her house. We were asked to remove a bed and it was surprisingly light, which meant that Ana and I could feel like some kind of ironwomen. Given the hallways were narrow we had to dismantle said bed without a screwdriver. Ana was ready to macgyver this with a pair of scissors. Within minutes the bed frame was off and we were ready to go. I was all elbows to open doors and gates! However in my overzealousness in not touching things, I managed to rip my puffa jacket. A small price to pay for keeping people safe. After being profusely thanked by L, we walked out to a sunny day. Having missed a bit of chat we hung around outside (2 metres apart) talking for a couple of minutes and then went our on ways. Stay safe and healthy fellow goodgymmers.

Lovely stuff and great smiles guys, well done! Sad for your puffa jacket though, Mridula!

No worries! Some surgery with a needle and thread meant a speedy recovery and also showed me I dont have enough dexterity to be a doctor!
