With no other joiners for the newspaper distribution, Hazel suddenly found freedom in changing the task's schedule—and promptly used it to conquer the remaining April issue of Stockport Post over the weekend. It took just two sessions, the final one powered up with help from Mithra, and abracadabra!—250+ copies of the Stockport Post were out in the wild. 🚶📬🚀 The only distribution strategy? Swiftly skip houses with less-than-friendly dogs 🐕⚠️. For now, Hazel is officially Team Cat 😄😸✔️

With Tuesday night unexpectedly freed up, Hazel joined What If?’s Tuesday Night Club gardening session 🌱🪴—and this was no ordinary pottering-about-with-a-trowel kind of gardening. The group emptied two raised beds, mixed soil with sand, planted Mediterranean herbs 🌿, assembled metal shelves and plant holders 🔧, and plenty of good chat was shared along the way 💬😊. Hazel even met another Hazel (a very rare occurrence here in fact 😲✨) along with a group of the warmest, most welcoming strangers 🤝💛.

Newspapers completely delivered, herbs in the beds, and spirits well watered—mission accomplished! 📰🌱✨
