Let's table this task for now

Andy and Remy were thrilled to return to Professor R's home for a second visit after a great mission last month! Last time, we organised huge mess of things a removal company had left behind on Prof R's balcony. Andy described it as "the world's largest game of 3D Tetris". Today's task was to extricate a table from that Tetris game and bring it inside, so that Prof R could use it to organise his belongings inside.

The catch was that we'd actually used it outside to stack some heavy tiles and cans of paint, among other things. But together, Andy and Remy were able to shift things around, lift the table over the rest of the things on the balcony, and then get things back into position so that Prof R would still be able to open the door to the balcony.

This time, the game was a little more like a Rubik's cube, because we had to plan a series of little moves, considering multiple layers, step-by-step to get things in order.

Today's task was short and sweet - Prof R said he had been glad to hear it would be us again, and we were too! - though the run was anything but. Remy very graciously took the brunt of a huge splash from a bus ploughing through a giant puddle for Andy on the wet and windy journey home, and we stopped for a quick selfie despite the miserable weather.
