1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.

Ignoring a little drizzle, it was a nice ride down to see Ms J to sort out a TV stand. Upon arrival, it turned out that the interpretation of a TV stand was a little different in my head than hers.... it was not the simple (usually black plastic) item holding the flat screen TV upright, but a solid cupboard, with drawers & doors!

Referrer Ms B popped in to have a chat with Ms J and was promptly put to work assisting, getting on better than she expected herself I believe.

A minor mishap in the middle (mental note: pay attention to the holes when putting the main planks together!) didn't dampen the mood, soon enough everything was in place, TV transferred to the new furniture with the old one put aside to be cleared out by Ms J at her leisure.

Job done, Ms B & myself went on our ways.
