A wall of boxes still lines Mr D's living room, as they had the first time that Kash and Sevan had visited. Apparently someone else had been in the meanwhile and there was evidence of some movement of the boxes. Mr D himself had been in and out of hospital again. He wasn't feeling his best today and hadn't been able to move forward with organising his belongings.

With Mr D out of action, Kash and Sevan continued with what they'd done last time, to get books, folders and other items out of the cardboard boxes and into sight. The main goal was still to find Mr D's TV remote and aerial cable, but who knew if the removal company had even packed it? 🤷 The boxes had all been packed haphazardly, so the books and files were jumbled together. The plan was to make as much as possible visible to Mr D to identify and organise in his own time.

The pair spent the mission filling a new, empty bookcase with all sorts of books and maps. An almost endless amount of books and maps, actually. Every box contained some kind of paperwork. World War 2 was Mr D's speciality, so book topics covered war intelligence, maps and the SAS. In fact, there were a lot of books on the SAS, emblazoned with "Who dares wins".

Despite all of the intelligence (books) available, between them, there wasn't enough intelligence to find the TV remote. They did manage to empty a number of moving boxes and found a way to dispose of them in Mr D's sheltered housing block, which was a big GoodGym decluttering win.
