Report written by Gosia Rybacka
Gosia visited Mrs M in Camden today to provide help with getting rid of some boxes ๐ฆ accumulated from her regular supplies ๐ and medication ๐.
I arrived at 12 on the dot, walking straight from the Paddington Rec Junior Parkrun. I used the buzzer ๐ but there was no reply so I called Mrs M on the number provided in the mission description. Her husband picked up, but at the same time their neighbour opened up the front door ๐ช and helped me get in the property.
I was welcomed by Mrs M's husband. Even before he started to explain the task, it turned out he locked ๐ himself out of the flat. He got really concerned ๐จ about that, started to breath really quickly and anxiously which started to worry me as well. I assured him that everything will be OK, that things like that happen and I can call help as needed (which calmed him down a little). He then reminded himself that he has a spare key ๐ in a locker downstairs which he quickly run down to get. He came back and although initially the spare key didn't seem to work - eventually it did. Mrs M's husband was really relieved and sat down on the stairs to calm himself down ๐งโโ๏ธ.
Everything was back under control. He explained me the task - I needed to flatten the boxes placed outside of the flat, pack them into the rubbish bag(s) and take out to the recycling โป๏ธ bins just outside of the property. It was quite straightforward and hasn't taken me much longer than 25 mins.
Before leaving the property I knocked to Mrs M's flat to give back the bags and also wish a nice (and hopefully less stressful) rest of the day to Mrs M's husband. I really hope it turned out to be like that!
