The Big Clean Up

I left Merv in the capable hands of his support worker and arrived at Mel's unit at 9:30 this morning. Mel and I started our day with a thirty minute walk followed by a quick morning tea of chilled water and a juicy Pink Lady apple before the assault on her room.
Today I was a Lieutenant General making plans, officiating them and delegating the game plan.  We worked together like a couple of  beavers.  We cleared all the surfaces and dusted them off.  Mel was a bundle of energy as she chose what she wanted to keep in her room and what she threw into the waiting storage tubs.  She was a karate master, one DVD, a handful of them and even more, stuffed toys and a mountain of old magazines.  It went on and on and on and as suddenly as it began it stopped.  All done!  We shook hands and went out for lunch.  Another job done!
