Window of Opportunity

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Camden.

Isabelle and I met this morning to move some furniture for Mr and Mrs R so that builders could fit new double glazed windows for them.

Quite a windy morning with my cap blowing off a couple of times on the way there 😳 After tightening the strap, Isabelle and I got to the location at almost the same time. Navigating our way through the scaffolding and getting helpful directions from a neighbour allowed us to pinpoint the flat.

After arriving and some very clear instructions from Mr R, we began the task of moving the table, bookshelf and dressing table to the centre of the living room, to allow the builders clear access to the windows. We then removed some net curtains using the step ladder provided by Mr R.

An array of refreshments were on offer from Mr R during the friendly chat post task allowing me to opt for the H2O.

A quick yet effective task for a very grateful Mr R.

It was great to meet you Isabelle and I hope to see you again at a future task! 👍🏽
