Ms J's stair lift has broken and she can't get upstairs at the moment. We were asked to help bring her bed downstairs so that she doesn't have to sleep on the sofa.

After knocking on all of the doors and windows, we finally made our presence known to Ms J who showed us where she wanted the bed. We scientifically measured out a new space for the sofa (using my stride length) to make space.

The adjustable bed came apart easily and thankfully all the fancy moving parts still worked when we put it back together downstairs.

Ms J let me borrow her walker so that I could check that she would still be able to get around the newly positioned furniture. She gave us a big thumbs up as we left and is looking forward to a good night's sleep.

Another day, another oximeter to deliver - this one only round the corner from my old GG coach, which bought back a few memories. All went smoothly.

Headed on over to the designated surgery in Foxwood only to find they didn't have any clean oximeters ready to go! Fortunately they were able to establish that another surgery (much closer to the client, in Heworth) had some available, which was directly on my route, the mission was completed without any further hitches or surprise miles.

Given the day, it seemed only fair to treat myself to some pancakes after the 10-mile round trip!

Two oximeters to collect from the same place, so it made sense to do them both in one trip. Other than the usual issue of spotting house numbers in the dark from a bike, it all went smoothly.
