Draughts moves...
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Islington.
- Sunday, 26th of July 2020
Mrs N had asked for some help in moving her bed from under the window to another place in the room so that it was no longer in a draught - so on a bright sunny Sunday afternoon, Kapil and I got to work, overseen by Mrs N's expert guidance.
In reality there were only a few permutations for the bed to move within the room, but we were keen to ensure Mrs N was happy with whichever position we moved it too. After a brief discussion on strategy we got to work, and happily discovered the bed base was on wheels, so a rotation from portrait to landscape layout was easily done, with the headboard now against a different wall (and away from the window) - we all agreed this was a much better layout for the room!
Mrs N then asked us to move a bar that assisted her in getting out of bed from another bed in a different room, and once this was done we all stood back to admire our collective effort. Mrs N declared herself "very happy" to which we replied that if she was happy then so were we, and with that we bid her farewell and headed back out into the afternoon sunshine.
