Mission

Switching things up for Mrs B

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

On a crisp November night I was very happy to have a mission to get me out of the house for a jog. I enjoyed running through the autumn leaves to meet Ray at Mrs B's House.

Mrs B wanted some help to move furniture as she finds it easier to get up out of her chair than the sofa. We moved a dresser to another room, moved the sofa to where the dresser had been, and then moved the chair so it was in line with the TV. In around 10 minutes Mrs B was much happier with her set-up, as she can now use the chair for relaxing instead of the sofa.

We tried to take a blurry photo by a beautiful tree as mission proof, then we enjoyed a run up the hill and a chat before we parted ways. A very efficient and rewarding hour away from the home desk 🙌
