On yet another hot sunny day, Zoe and I met at Mr A's home and was greeted warmly by his brother Mr D, plus a cat named Shearer that we never saw but there was certainly clearly evidence of a cat present.

We had two tasks ahead of us.

One, to move a table and chair from the kitchen downstairs to the bedroom upstairs. The table had sentimental value to the siblings as it had belong to their mother, so we both dealt with the table with some love and care. However it didn't fit through the bedroom door frames, but we prevailed by asking for some screwdrivers and with Mr D's permission, started to dismantle the folding table edges in which was enough to succeed our first task. This involved I must add, getting under the table to reach the screws only to end up with cat fur all over us, the things we do for others eh!!!

Two, to move a mini freezer from one end of the kitchen to the other side to make room for a hospital bed. In a blink of an eye....(or maybe it was cat hair in our eyes) we had succeed yet again.

Mr D was ever so grateful and thanked us for our time. We wished him and his brother well and set off home, with the satisfaction of completing yet another mission, but we never did see Shearer the cat....
