A couple of shifty characters

Kapil and James visited Miss I to help clear some space in her home so she could exercise, on the recommendation of her doctor.

There were many things in Miss I's house. Furniture, boxes, suitcases, sundry items of all kinds. In short supply was free space. We needed to move some items but there was a catch. To move one item we'd first need to make space for it elsewhere by moving another item; but to move that second item we'd need to make space somewhere else by moving a third item. And so on and so forth until our internal calculators got that recurring decimal error and just said 'E'. It was all very complicated and threatened to overpower the CPU capacity of our brains.

But Miss I had a plan. A plan with many different steps. We did the best we could to realise it. Kapil in particular pulled off some stunning Tetris-high-score-worthy moves at which James could only stand back and marvel. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

After two and a bit hours we had made a big difference, particularly in the hallway and the upstairs bedroom. Miss I was very thankful. She told us one of the wall units we moved had been in the same spot for ten years. We hope it likes its new spot.

We were very sweaty under our face coverings. Sweaty and happy to have been of assistance.
