We're A Well Heeled Bunch!

Lighter nights are back!!!!

Tonight we were back at the amazing Lighthouse Centre to have fun sorting through bags of clothes donations. But before we got to work, we set to our weekly pre-task exercise session. We started with a brief roadside warmup (nothing too embarrassing in front of the passers-by I hope!).

Adele & Alison took a walk (is it mean of me to mention that they completely missed their turning because they were too busy nattering, lol!). It did tickle us when we passed them going the wrong way – delighted that they had a great chat though and they probably ended up getting a few extra steps in too! Annaliza, Maurice & I did a run – a circular route which took us around the park – we can’t wait for the park to be open later again so that we can include it in some of our runs. It was wonderful to complete our entire run in daylight – it feels like it’s been a long time coming! Hope your knee has stopped being twingey by the way Annaliza!

Back at the task we were, as always, warmly greeted by the lovely Dalton who welcomed us in and set us to work on the evening’s task. Tonight we had bags of donations to sort through. There were probably about 10-12 bags in total and we soon whittled our way through them (what’s the old adage…. ‘many hands make light work’. So true – Dalton said it would have taken him ages to sort through all those on his own.

There was a good selection of clothing, some really good donations and some that we had to send for rag. There was of course the usual giggles along the way when Annaliza came across some oddballs underpants (unworn and still in their packaging - thank goodness for small mercies!) and Adele a lacy red bra! My own haul didn’t present anything nearly as interesting, but we did spot some nice high heels along the way tonight – which led us to tonight’s pun – courtesy of Adele! Thank you Adele, you’ve saved me no end of time again this week! Genius!

Well done everyone – another amazing night’s work and lovely, as always, to spend the evening with you again.

Have a great week everyone! See you all next time!!

Lots of love Nicola xxx
