I visited Mrs T today to do some tidying up on her balcony. It was a rainy and very autumn-y day with many leaves ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿƒ lying on the city pavements which made my way to the mission very pleasant and dreamy ๐Ÿ˜Œ.

I arrived around 15 mins past 6 pm as I have really struggled to find the right building ๐Ÿข. It's a new build and the navigation ๐Ÿ“ wasn't that familiar yet with the new addresses in the area.

Tara welcomed me warmely inviting inside to sit on a sofa ๐Ÿ›‹ and have a bit of chat before starting the work. Mrs T just recently moved in and still a lot of boxes and luggage remained unpacked. She told me a bit about the place she comes from, her health issues and also few stories about her moving out/in.

Around 6:40 her daughter came and reminded her about the evening activity Mrs T forgot about ๐Ÿ™„

No time to waste then!

The balcony was super spacious (I don't think I have seen such a big one before). There were a lot of plants placed in a rather random locations. We planned and rearranged the table and chairs ๐Ÿช‘๐Ÿช‘, moved plants ๐ŸŒฑaround to ensure a good access and space around the door.

I also moved a pretty heavy box ๐Ÿชจ full of magazines inside the flat (Mrs T said she is currently working on a cooking book).

Before leaving, I gave the balcony a proper sweep ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ‘Œ, making it all look tidy and clean.

Mrs T really wanted to give me some money or at least flowers ๐Ÿ’ but I kindly declined and left wishing Mrs T a great restful evening.

I didnโ€™t take any photos from the task but I caught a nice shot of Battersea Power Station on my way back.
