Maskers of the Universe

Melissa, James and Alex ran to Mr F’s house and put masking tape up in his long hallway for an upcoming paint job.

Saturday morning. The sun shines. We’re out running. Enjoying the heat. Or not quite. Because it's freezing. The sun has forgotten how to be warm. That’s okay. We’re problem solvers. We need to get warm somehow. What’s the best way we know? Doing good deeds of course. That never fails.

Luckily we’d signed up to a mission. We had a rendezvous to help Mr F. So along we went and he invited us in to the warmth of his abode.

Mr F was preparing to paint his hallway and needed some help putting masking tape on the edges of the walls and ceiling and on some fiddly bits like light switches and odd metal jutty-out thingees. Some of this required perching carefully on a ladder. Mr F needed particular help with that. Luckily for this balancing-at-height challenge, we were up to the task.

We dusted and scrubbed the walls then methodically made our way down the hallway and around the corner and into the front door area, masking all the spots that needed a spot of masking.

When we’d done the hallway was ready for its impending paint makeover. Mr F was well chuffed and very thankful. We were too, plus we were warm. Mission accomplished.
