Hello fellow GoodGymmers, we hope you’re well, staying safe and all looking out for one another.

Danny and Steve arrived outside Mrs S’s place to move her bed out to make room for a new hospital bed to be delivered. Mrs S’s daughter welcomed us in and mentioned that it’s her mum’s Birthday very soon, and being able to be discharged home after a spell in hospital would be wonderful.

Fortunately, Mrs S's daughter had discovered a spot in the garage that saved us shifting the old bed upstairs. Given the current situation, everything was kept brief. We wish Mrs S the very best, and hope she’s well enough to return home quickly and see in her Birthday in comfort and with her family.

After a unusual photoshoot for unusual times, Danny and Steve chatted about how quickly the world has changed, supermarket behaviour and staying involved with all the pharmacy runs, hospital bed set-ups and grocery runs amongst other missions that are now being listed on the GG website, and mean the world to the people we get to work with.

Aside: Steve got lost on both the way to and from the mission, at one point pushing a bicycle through some woods he unexpectedly happened upon. Don’t believe everything Google Maps tells you, folks!
