Mission

Lollipop ladies make me cross!

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.

The task this morning was moving a bed downstairs so that Mrs M (101 years old!) can get home from hospital.

Mrs M's daughter and grandson were in and showed us the ropes. It soon became apparent that we would need some tools to take the bed apart. After digging around, Mrs M's daughter found some Allen keys and we got to work.

With a lot of elbow grease, and some real grease in the form of olive oil, we got the bed apart and downstairs. We then had to reassemble it in a sturdy enough way to support Mrs M at night! This was also a challenge but we eventually got everything back together.

Mrs M's daughter is on furlough from her job as a lollipop lady. We chatted about the schools reopening and brighter days ahead!
