Ms J's flat looked hugely better today compared to the first time that Sevan came in April. The living room was mostly box free for a start. Alan joined him this time to help Ms J unpack and organise whatever was still boxed up in Ms J's bedroom. The priority for today was to find kitchen equipment.

Without any idea of the contents of each box, a random one was taken to look through with Ms J. It had an interesting mix of items, vases, scarves and underwear. The vases were put on display and the 2 men present decided to leave the underwear for another day as it wasn't useful cookware.

Onto box 2, which contained bedding. Ms J was still light on storage, so emptying this box would need to wait too. Ms J told the pair that she didn't know what was inside the remaining boxes as they were stacked on top of each other. With no drawers or wardrobes for the clothes, that was a tough problem that would need an ingenious solution.

While Alan chatted away with Ms J and moved onto the next box, containing a Ms J favourite, cosmetics, Sevan grabbed a kitchen knife and got creative. Ms J had 4 wardrobe boxes where some of her clothes hung. Sevan used his (non-existent) surgical skills to cut a window into the side of each one, letting Ms J see what was inside.

There was definite progress, with a lot of packing materials taken to be recycled at the end of a mission. The boxes that weren't sorted through were labelled with what types of things were inside and none of them looked to have kitchen equipment, so that remains a mystery for next time.
