I was worried that if it started pouring like it did in the evening, then the mission might not be completed. But it was more of a drizzle and light rain. So I went early around 6:30 pm to Ms.M's house. Ms.M welcomed me and was having some breathing issues. So she gave simple and quick instructions for me to do my work and she went back inside.

Ms.M gave me her trusty secateurs and pointed me in the direction of other tools. I took a fork and recycling bag as the other tools might not fit the job I was about to do. The task was to tidy up the front side garden. There were quite a lot of weeds than plants. So I pulled and chopped them off. Bagging them took quite some time.

Ms.M said I did a very good job and gave me a few bulbs to plant in the giant pot I weeded. I planted the bulbs and watered it and just as I predicted it started pouring. But I completed my mission anyways. Bid my byes to Ms.M and to East London.
