If Everybody Hooked The Same

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Camden.

I went round to see Ms. M to help out with a few domestic DIY kinda tasks, primarily the curtain track in the bedroom. It had been installed 20+ years ago and the plastic hooks and attachments were crumbling to dust. I popped out to buy some new curtain hooks and replaced those rather easily. The other broken part was from a corded curtain track that pulls back two curtains in opposite directions from one side. Such things seems to cost about £60 online for the full assembly, but you’re not likely to find one in West Hampstead or Kilburn.

Ms. M ask that I write out a bit of information about what I thought the problem is / solution could be, and she could convey this to her daughter when the time was right.

Ms. M was extremely hospitable, gracious and charming and showed me her paintings (including one of Liz Taylor) her books, and lot of photos. We spoke for a few hours about all manner of stuff: health, wealth, family, marriage, love and sex (I didn’t bring that one up heehee 😂)

Thanks Mridula, yeah she was! There's a bit more needs doing there, so perhaps someone else will be back there and they can learn about the male menopause too! 😇
