Sofa distancing

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

Sarah and Kapil ran to East Barnet from South Tottenham and Wood Green. Their task: to make room in a small flat for a hospital bed so that Mr A could be discharged from hospital.

Mr A and his lovely wife moved a couple of years ago from a large flat to a very small one in order to be closer to family. Making room for a hospital bed was not going to be easy - then Mrs A said her husband was an engineer and would have Opinions when he got home. No pressure then!

It was important to make sure Mr A could see the TV from bed and that a pair of armchairs still faced the TV. In a winning game of furniture Tetris, Kapil and Sarah moved the sofa behind the armchairs and the coffee table to in front of the TV - all the while maintaining social distancing. Hopefully this arrangement will meet with Mr A's approval when he is discharged on Monday!
