A return visit to Mr B's after building a bed for him last time, and it was good to catch up with him and his helpful building manager - they both seemed pleased to see me again, (which I took as a good sign...).

The biggest challenge in constructing Mr B's wardrobe this morning was dealing with the heat in his living area, clearly the communal heating hadn't caught up with the fact that it was sunny outside...if only I'd come in t-shirt and shorts.

However, copious mopped brows aside, the wardrobe itself came together easily enough by following the clear instructions, and there was enough space on the floor to lay out all the relevant parts. Much inserting of bolts, dowels, and tightening of those strange Churchill shaped nuts to lock it all together, and it was soon upright with the doors fitted. Three drawers later, it was complete and Mr B seemed genuinely delighted to now have somewhere to put his possessions. I was just glad to find it was about 10 degrees cooler outside...

A return visit to our favourite storage facility this evening for Hilary, Eugene, Adam, Fuad, Lise and Nick to do some more clothes sorting for the Care4Calais team, with clear instructions this week to sort out children’s clothing by specific ages so that the Care4Calais team could do a distribution during March.

Having learned a few lessons from our previous visit, including how to actually get into the facility and navigate the maze of storage to find the relevant lock up room, and to bring a couple of marker pens...we were able to get sorting pretty quickly this week, with empty boxes marked for the different age categories, and piles of donated items put into the corridors for the teams to go through and sort per the instructions from the team.

To the sound of a random playlist of 90’s/00’s tunes feeding through the facility’s speaker system, and our ongoing admiration for any clothing items made in Bangladesh to keep Fuad happy, plus the now familiar entertaining collection of somewhat unusual donated items (there was a whole dressing up box of items that we (mostly) resisted delving into), we soon had a “production line” going and filled 6 boxes, each marked with a different age category, by the end of the evening. There is still much to do, so another visit surely beckons before too long.
