Mission

Unpacking boxes and lives

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

Mrs L had recently been moved and boxes were piled high. As she had not packed them herself she had no idea what was in each box. She was also unable to move the heavy boxes to get in to them so our mission was to take everything out of boxes so that Mrs L could start to put everything where it needed to go. We then needed to break down the boxes and get them out of the way.

Neil and I set to work and as we haven’t seen each other since before Covid, and as space was limited Mrs L was staying out of the way, we were able to have a good old catch up.

I had certainly had to relearn the skill of chatting enthusiastically and working essential to GoodGym tasks.

It was a big task and we just managed to empty the boxes in the time allowed. Mrs L was most grateful. Though she still has a lot of work to do hopefully we helped her on her way.
