A spec-tag-ular sort out

Oh my goodness, it's AUGUST already, how did that happen?

It was a double celebration this evening: the national milestone of over 100000 good deeds done by GoodGym (please feel free to tweet about it using the hashtag #gg100k) and Sophie's birthday. There's only one thing to do on a double celebration and that is to eat cake... mmm!

It was almost a triple celebration but Maura was celebrating her birthday with her family instead of us! More cake next week maybe?

We had a special visitor this evening, Brad, all the way from GG Norwich. He's the person who's travelled the furthest so far to visit our happy little group! We also welcomed Val as a new recruit to Portsmouth, although she knows what it's all about as she's supermum to the GG York Trainer Egg. Welcome back to Charlotte and Debbie too!

Our run was a short hop up Fratton Road to the old Blockbusters store (remember videos anyone?!), now home to the Naomi House North End Charity Shop. The lovely Debbie set us to work sorting out stock for the winter; tagging and generally emptying out the massive cupboard of donations. There was the standard underwear find (something of a GG Portsmouth tradition now!) but our favourite was definitely the Del Boy sheepskin jacket.

This time next year, we'll be millionaires!

We then headed back south for a mexican plank in the churchyard as well as some other hard core core workouts before a slice of lemon drizzle & a rendition of "Happy Birthday to you" to finish off the evening.

Same time next week for an outdoor task, digging over an allotment space for PARCS. Sign up here.
