Gosia was tasked to help Ms L with sweeping leaves 🍂🍁 from her back garden. It was a quite chilly ❄️ morning but still bearable even for doing a little bit of gardening 👩‍🌾.

Report from 10:00

I arrived exactly at 10 am 🕚 and used the door buzzer few times without getting a response. I wasn't sure if it's working as I didn't hear any sound so I also used a door clapper to see if that helps. There were two ✌️ flats located in the same building 🏠 so was not particulary convinced if this worked either.

I eventually called Ms L using the landline ☎️ number provided in the mission description. I could hear a ring clearly somewhere in the house but noone was picking up. I then tried it another couple of times before giving up and returning home.

Got a bit worried about Ms L wellbeing so it would be great if we could just check if everything is all right.

Report from 12:30

I have tried to call Ms L again to check on her and she did not pick up. I then thought the best would be to call for a welfare check. I eventually called 999 and explained a situation. They said that the crew will also try to call her using the same phone number GG provided. They also said that regardless of if they get a connection with her or not, the help will arrive to check on her at the property.

I am not entirely sure if I won't cause too much hassle here but all actions were driven by a true concern about her welfare at this point.

Report from 18:00

Noone from the services contacted me for a follow up. This is for GG's office information tomorrow (I know they are off today).

That's quite concerning. I hope it turned out Ms L was ok after all.
