One Alarm and No Surprises, Please

Kash and Sevan met up with Sam for the second time today after an earlier Thor Lands community mission. On arriving at Mr E's house, the burglar alarm blared out when he opened the door. "One moment", he signalled, and 20 seconds later we were welcomed inside by Mr E and his wife.

Mr E was disappointed that we hadn't been sent by a giant that he knew. We didn't know who had referred him or how large they were. Despite that, he was happy to see us and directed us into his living room.

Normally on missions like this, they sound incredibly simple then, when you get there, you find at least 3 additional complications that you didn't expect. This time, we were asked to remove a sofa, from a bungalow, with an external door from the living room. There must be a catch...

We removed the cushions and took them outside first, then picked to the sofa, with Sevan at one end and Kash and Sam at the other. We slowly walked straight towards the door, then touched the door frame. Time to adjust. We rotated the sofa until it was almost upside down and made it into the freezing cold garden. It still felt too simple. Nevertheless, we were done!

We dropped the sofa at the roadside for collection, wished Mr and Mrs E well then headed home after a day of good deeds. We were still surprised that there were no surprises, only alarms.
