Mission

a lightbulb moment

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.

It is a good chance this was my quickest mission yet - the lightbulb to be changed was in the hallway, right behind the front door. The only reason why this mission took anywhere near a minute was Ms R searching where she put the replacement bulb!

Chatting afterwards it turns out she used to be a coach and also knew about Goodgym sorting out some furniture moves for a fellow resident (one i did as well!) - which led the conversation to her planning on moving out, she'll be needing a GG helping hand to pack up!

Not being that mobile and a lack of helpful neighbours meant rubbish bags sometimes pile up outside the door, removing those at least gave me the feeling of doing something else than spend seconds changing a bulb!
