Mission control were very clear with Ms L that her, Kash and Sevan's priority for today's mission was to clean her garden table and chairs ahead of a garden party that Ms L was planning. As soon as Kash and Sevan arrived, Ms L started pointing out areas of the garden that needed work. Kash and Sevan tried to keep things on track with the table and chairs, but they weren't front of mind for Ms L.

After being reminded that the GoodGymers were only there for 90 minutes, Ms L exclaimed:

"I told Big Jim that I needed help between 3 and 5"

Kash and Sevan never learned who this mysterious Big Jim was. If it was an actual person or Dave Guest's Mission Control alter ego. Ms L said that she always contacts Big Jim to get more help and to schedule follow up sessions.

Back to the task at hand, with only 1 bucket, 1 brush and 2 cloths, Sevan started scrubbing the table top then a chair with soapy water. Kash started chopping brambles as there was nothing else to do with the garden furniture yet.

After a while, the GoodGymers switched roles. The white plastic furniture had collected a thick layer of grime over one or more years that was taking a lot of effort to scrub off. Bit by bit, it was getting lighter and whiter.

There were other tasks around the garden too.

"There's 2 fox poos on the ground. Can you pick them up please? I can't reach them."
"There's another one there." - Ms L
"Where?" - Kash and Sevan
"By the bush"
"I don't know how you can't see it. I can." - Ms L
"That's a black sock" - Kash

...then ten minutes later...

"There's another poo, by the bush."
"Look! Right there." - Ms L
"That's the sock again" - Sevan

By the end of the task, the table and chairs looked usable by Ms L's guests and were placed on the patio to dry. The path into the back garden was clearer and some of the brambles had been cut back too, leaving Ms L a lot happier about the state of her garden.

As Kash and Sevan left, Ms L told them that she'd be on the phone to Big Jim tomorrow to book some more help 🥸. Sevan picked up 2 rogue socks too and put them in the bin, so that they don't give the local foxes a bad reputation.
