Drawing to a close

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

Mrs T needed and hand....well, 4 actually. She had moved into a new property and with the days getting longer couldn’t get away with not having curtains up anymore. Sarah and I stepped up and met up outside Mrs T’s....in an awkward 2m distancing dance...so nice to see a familiar face and odd to no be able to give them a hug!

We washed our hands before going in, put on gloves and Sarah put on her mask...making sure we were extra careful the whole time.

Getting directions and instructions we had Mrs T stay in one room whilst we got on with putting up the largest curtain first...me taking my time, dropping screws, then having to redo my side as Sarah’s side looked better...typical!

Whilst I was correcting my mistakes, Sarah managed to finish the other, smaller curtain in the same room. 4 hours later, only kidding...it didn’t take THAT long....we said our goodbyes and headed outside. Disposed of our gloves and washed our hands with sanitiser before having a chat about life in isolation.

Sarah took some action shots and we went our separate ways, back to our caves and wondering when the next time will be that we’ll see our friends again!

Good deed done! Sarah came up with the title too....seriously, if it wasn’t for writing this report, I would not have been needed!!! 😂🤣🙄
