Not sure what the plural is for the above, my Latin is pretty non-existent... It needs to be plural though, since there were definitely two of us!

I met a smiling Andrew at location, he came running where I was by bike. Being let in by the housing officer, we made our way into the bed where it turned out that the 'sofa bed' was actually a normal single bed, but still in bit and in need of putting together. Being men, the temptation was to just get stuck in and find out later how to put it together.... however for a change we were sensible and read the instructions!

Bed done, there was still some time before work resumed, so a clothing rack followed suit.

HO was very happy with the jobs done, resident is expected tomorrow and now has a bed to sleep in and a sofa to sit on - not much, but definitely a start!

If there is any more help required putting more furniture together, GG will be the first port of call, the HO said - sounds like a compliment to us!
