Mission

99 problems but the hidden hoover ain't one

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

Amy and I met at Ms M's and her daughter showed us the room where her mum is going to be staying when she comes home from hospital. She is 99!

We moved a couple of tables as well as a riser-recliner chair, to make way for a hospital bed. Kudos to Amy for extricating the hoover from underneath a pile of furniture - that should make the hoovering a bit easier 😉

We had a chat with Ms M's daughter about the overstretched and underfunded care system, and a chat amongst ourselves about old video games (shout out to Crash Bandicoot, who will most likely be the MVP of any future winter lockdowns).

Lovely to meet you Amy, hope to see you again soon!
