Afternoon goodgymmers! Today we went over to Mr. W's house. He had a fire in his kitchen and we were tasked with getting all the items back into the kitchen from his living room so he could get to his hospital bed.

We were met again by the lovely C, who is a Red Cross Employee. He was helping us with the task today and is always good for a chat. We agreed to get everything moved to the kitchen and this would make the tasks for the carers who was coming later easier. Whilst we did this, we talked about a variety of subjects, including whether or not Shel is the most handsome man in Brazil. Given that C and I know no other Brazilians, it was universally agreed that Shel, was indeed the most handsome man in Brazil.

It took us about an hour we were done. After that, I ran over to my next mission, and Shel took his handsome self home.
