Mission

Curtain Call...

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

Latoya and I met at Ms P's and were shown into her living room - the (first) task was pretty straightforward - hanging some curtains onto the track above the windows.

Making best use of our respective heights, (but also thankful for the set of steps that Ms P provided), we got to work immediately and after a couple of tidy ups to ensure we got the "gather" correct on the right hand curtain, we completed both sides and Ms P now had some privacy once more in her front room and seemed very pleased with our efforts.

Ms P then asked us to hang a beaded curtain on some hooks, which again with the help of the steps was no problem. We then did also discuss with Ms P a couple of other items that she'd like done, but without the proper tools we indicated we couldn't help this time (but something maybe for a future GoodGym mission...)

Our task was completed within 30 minutes and we took our bows, exited stage left - leaving Ms P to enjoy her new found privacy in her home.
