Sevan and Kash ran up Hanger Hill from Acton and met JP from GoodGym Richmond, who was back for his second Care4Calais task in faraway North Ealing.

After sorting donations at his previous C4C session, JP had advanced to the trainee pack assembler role, working under the watchful eye of task owner Tamzin. He discovered all the joys and frustrations of putting together family-size parcels, where there's always something impossible to find. Pack-making can give you a sense of fulfilment, but it's not a remedy for those who seek completion. Some questions remain unanswered.

"What colour is that?" – JP
"Olive?" – Sevan
"Guy only wants grey clothes." – JP
"It's olive-y grey." – Sevan

Kash was tasked with identifying the "true small" womens winter coats by trying on various outfits, from oversized gangsta coats to ring-ready boxing robes. Afterwards, she joined Sevan in sorting children's clothes by ages 6–13 – a task into which they carried over their rock band theme from the day before.

Ooh, nine is bigger
Bigger than eight
But eight not me
The lengths those arms will go to
The difference in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

The clothes for nine-year-olds also prompted a venture into foreign-language lyrics territory.

"Nine, nine..." – Kash.
"Nein!" – Sevan.
"Oh, I'll sing you a song with «nein» in it! Du, du hast, du hast mich..."

The gig lasted two hours and finished with plenty of packs prepared for asylum seekers and a huge Amazon bag of children's clothes sorted into appropriate age groups, or at least, we hoped so, as none of us was a "true nine-year-old"!
