The Hoover and the Magic Rugs
3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Bristol.
- Sunday, 19th of November 2017
Meeting at our mid week GG meeting point Vivo we set off towards Mrs E along the River Frome. On arrival Mrs E greeted us with a lovely smile and we entered the sanctuary of her warm home. We had a lovely chat and greeted her lovely dog. We then set off on the mission like a dog with a bone or a rock in Dave's case (you will need to ask him). David used Mrs E's Red Devil Hoover' that was a perfect match to the GG red T-shirt to clean the lounge carpet. Ferrari 'Dave' made short work of the carpets. We then looked to see if some lovely rugs would fit into the living room but these disappeared back in the cupboard for another day. Fi and David continued to sort out the cupboard with Mrs E deciding what items to keep and those to go to charity. The two David's did a trip to the sheds to discuss 'storage logistics' and a plan for next time. We then talked to Mrs E again before leaving the mission. The sun came out and the chill had gone from the air as we made our way back to Bristol BS1 and beyond!
