A view to a sill
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Islington.
- Friday, 24th of May 2019
Mission number 99 saw me reunite with Abi for a quick lunchtime mission in Islington for Mrs I. It also saw me receive a most awesome present from Abi in the form of a GG-themed 99 ice cream badge ❤️ I'm definitely going to wear this in work for the rest of the day: Totally feeling the GG love! ❤️❤️❤️
Mrs I asked GoodGym to send some runners around as she needed some window measurements taken to fit some blinds. This should help her sleep a bit better and give her a more comfortable living arrangement.
After being welcomed into Mrs I's home, I quickly engineered a situation in which I would do a minimal amount of work by pulling out a pad of paper and a pen to write the measurements down. Abi took the (not very subtle) hint, and happily(?) got to grips with the measuring tape and it's occasionally overeager retraction mechanism.
Between Abi's very scientific measurements and my backseat driving of where I thought the measurements should be taken from, we quickly managed to jot down the measurements into a beautifully artistic form (or at least it would have been beautifully artistic if only I'd brought a variety of coloured pens to the mission or had had even a modicum of artistic training at all. But hey, I suppose that function is beauty, right?!).
Job done, we made our goodbyes and headed off to enjoy the rest of our afternoons (or not, depending on what deadlines we have to get done before the bank holiday break).
It was great watching you work again, Abi 😏😉 Thanks for my wonderful badge and see you at the Vitality 10k on Monday! 😄
