Lambeth

Mission

Who invented the Allen key? I have no Ikea.

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

Tim and I arrived at the address but the lights were out and the only sign of life was a flashing blue light in the upstairs bedroom (turned out this was the wireless router). We called Ms Ms daughter who said she was on her way. She arrived with a car full of kids and showed us into the (very pinkly decorated) house to see what the task was. We needed to clear the spare bedroom of furniture so that Ms M's hospital bed can be delivered and she can move into there permanently. We had to move the bed out of her room to allow the spare bed to move in there to make way for the hospital bed. Unfortunately we were Allen key-less so couldn't dismantle the spare bed to fit through the door, after much maneuvering. An hour later and both rooms looked clean, tidy and ready for Ms M's return.

Sorry GG Lambeth for missing the group run, as the task overran!
