I've done 99 missions and the witch ain't one
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.
- Tuesday, 11th of December 2018
For my 99th mission, Peter and I didn't stay lyin around and moved a couple of wardrobes, which would free up space for a hospital bed to enable P's husband to come home
Some of the most effective missions are the simplest. Move two wardrobes (thankfully a single and a double rather than a triple) from A to B. Simples.
Things we noted made it easier were to empty them first, to make them lighter and also lets you see what's in it and find random things.
I mean, a tripod obviously should be stored under the shoes at the foot of the wardrobe, obvs!
Peter also discovered the wardrobes had wheels! But kinda kept it a bit quiet to spare P's blushes.
Probably ten minutes of heavy graft but saved P from an impossible task to do alone.
Less in the home and more for the homeless
Just by chance, our lovely P has been meaning to declutter and asked if we knew of charities who would collect surplus clothes.
And just by chance, I was due to perform in a concert the same evening which will seek support and funds for a local homelessness charity.
I gladly took a large bag of warm men's clothes and some warm boots. Luckily this was a local mission so I could just walk down the road.
Oh happy day!
