I'm not sure we've ever arrived at a task to find the beneficiary ready with mini ice creams and lollies but I'm sure it could catch on! We had to explain to first timer Lucy that this was a bit special!

Having confirmed the bridge was still open even though Sarah K wasn't there to update us, gallivanting on holiday somewhere, we took the short route to the Southville Centre as it was hot and sticky enough for running.

Hugh reappeared with sweeping and painting brushes plus the weird weeding trowel and we were set to work tidying and painting blue paint that he assured us was really black but we were pretty convinced dried clear. Meticulous cutting in was demonstrated by Andrea on her second group run to leave the Wendy/Wendo/Tarquin house with white window frames.

Loads of brushing progress made, a second round of mini ice lollies was offered before the downhill walk (with lolly still on sticks) then run (when lollies finished) back to Queen Square and on to workout for a drink after stretching in the daylight.
