On a quite misty morning I met David and Shelomoh to help Mrs J move some furniture to her garden so that the place can be painted. As the room to be cleared was the kids one, she was surprised to find empty sweet packets hiding behind beds and cupboards: the proof they were eating something she didn't want them to indulge on ;) Mrs J found as well a couple of forgotten bottles of champagne, coming handy for the approaching holiday season... Being closely instructed by her, we quickly assembled few pieces in the garden and covered the furniture as best as possible, due to the weather forecast not being so great. What had no better location was moved to the centre of the room so that handymen can paint walls all around anyhow.

Mrs J explained us she would love to have some GGers around again to clean her garden at a certain point, but we advised she might need to provide some proper tools as the lawn got quite wild.
